That isn’t how that works. Being able to detonate a corpse requires overwriting control of it from its master. Its essentially overcharging the spell.
Its exceedingly hard to do and so far only a dread lord has managed it in significant numbers against a severely weakened death knight in lore.
Seizing a singular undead when its master isn’t directly commanding it is possible but undead use swarms. Singular undead being deployed is almost unheard of and generally almost entirely third parties. Such as the dark riders not the scourge.
Honestly all this talk about necromancy becoming legalized with the destruction of the Kirin Tor is making me do a 180 on my original opinion of the questline.
I’m not sure what you are on about. Nobody would be talking about the purge much if the instigator wasn’t currently a central character in the plot being portrayed as noble and good. The Bell was instigated by Gorrosh. He, and his story, are both over.
I did notice that Aethas’ past was also ignored, but let’s be honest his importance was also about the purge. The Bell story is over, even if every minor character hasn’t been killed off.
Now it maybe that Blizzard is ignoring the purge as part of a greater amnesia of events before BfA. That might even be the right way to go, if they provide something in its place. But that just points to need of development of the Horde’s story. Ignoring them just leaves them stuck in faction conflict as the only thing they are about.
… Aethas literally spent the entirety of Legion atoning for his part in the Divine Bell incident (which, to this day, is still confined to bugged content). No one would be complaining if Jaina took accountability and made amends with the victims she made in response.
This questline was the perfect opportunity to put this tired topic to bed, but they didn’t have the balls. So on it goes.
What are the odds that the sliver of Kel’Thuzad’s spirit escaped the amulet and is going to springboard a new generation of Necromancers to justify the class and I get to play a Lich shut up SHUT UP IT’S HAPPENING
they’re gonna dilute everything all the way down until we get to the point where everyone is agreement about “why do we even have factions at this point” and then they think that a dissolution of the Alliance and Horde as distinct entities would go over more smoothly.
The Kirin Tor’s end is not really important for that as the Blue dragons are reunified and have taken up the role of Magic Police that the Kirin Tor had done for a long time in their absence.
The Divine Bell belonged to the mogu, not the pandaren. The Alliance stole it from the mogu and the Horde stole it from the Alliance. What does anyone involved in the affair, Horde or Alliance, have to apologize to the pandaren for?
That was resolved in game, though. Unlike BFA, the internal disputes and rebelling were seeded early and watered often. We stormed the Horde capital and put the Warchief on trial, then pursued him across realities to end him. We can sweep up the Garrosh dust in Torghast and ask it to apologize, I guess.
The Divine Bell hopping from Korune to Darnassus to Silvermoon had nothing whatsoever to do with the pandaren. Even when Garrosh returned it to Kun-Lai, the only casualties were orcs who couldn’t handle its power. The only part of the Alliance-Horde war Aethas and Jaina got embroiled in occurred three continents over from Pandaria.

“The Golden Lotus and Shado-Pan guardians of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms were caught in the epicenter of the devastating blast that scarred the Vale, and torn apart by the dark energies. Their spirits linger in the place they once protected, confused and tormented by their failure.”
Not to mention questing throughout the zone you have examples of Pandaren being killed as a direct result of the war.
Man, that Aethas Sunreaver guy is a wilier mage than I thought. Who knew he glamoured himself as Garrosh and corrupted all those pandaren with the Heart of Y’Shaarj?
