So why not make another World Tree where Teldrassil is?

Well no…there would have to be some actual examples of random mages or warlocks corrupting a World Tree for that to be the case.

Thus far the only things that have been shown to do so are the Old Gods. Citing anything less powerful as being able to do so is merely speculation.

Oh yeah, so easy right? You corrupted a world tree huh?

No it was stated that a pure heart must be the one to plant the tree otherwise it would be corrupt and those that tend it must be aswell any negative input would corrupt the tree. Since we have 0 chars pure of heart and any person who just goes to water the thing could corrupt it is enough of a case point

Maybe read the lore that states only the pure of heart can safely plant a world tree and can tend to it otherwise corruption would take hold. So any person who isnt pure of heart can tend to it and corrupt it

Then Nordrassil would be corrupt, because not a single person involved in its planting, empowering or subsequent maintenance was a flawless saint without any shortcomings to their character.

You are correct and it was hence why it needed to be cleansed. But we longer have anyone with the strength to do that again.

Teldrassil has been deliberately ignored as a plot point going into Shadowlands.

If I couldn’t go in there to make sure all the elves are dead you can’t go in there to rebuild it.

NORdrassil. As in, the one on Mt. Hyjal.

Which has never been corrupted, and so has never needed to be cleansed. Even with the Aspects’ blessings gone it’s remained free of corruption. Despite the night elves who cared for it and the Aspects who empowered it all being people with their own myriad failing and faults of character. None of them are “pure of heart,” which is itself frankly a meaningless concept.

It was never corrupted that is correct did it need to be cleansed as it was beginning too yes it did

Where are you getting this idea from?

Yes we do. Check this post here in this thread: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/so-why-not-make-another-world-tree-where-teldrassil-is/453030/62

Nordrassil never needed to be cleansed, nor was it ever, especially not at the beginning.

He did something once by accident, thats hardly proof he could do it again at will especially since then he has been wounded and weakened.

He has recovered:

And in the Darkshore Warfront itself Malfurion is growing back the trees to undo the damage the Horde had done:

This, so much. A new version of the Quests for opening the AQ gates.

They even released that small part into the live game in an unfinished state. There are things that are labeled “doodad_3” when you hover your mouse over them. Think of the laziest fast food worker you’ve ever seen. Now give them a job at blizzard. That’s who’s making this game now.

Its the cycle of life. Hell, forest fires are an important part of some Tree’s reproduction cycle. Nordrassil regrowing from its dead husk was a key part of WC3’s end story.

I think building a new Night Elf capitol in Hyjal or Moonglade is a better idea personally.

why didnt the warsong just take the darnassus seeds and plant them in durotar to get resources

Which will be undone in the Horde’s victory cycle.

Horde don’t have a victory cycle. Everything in the game itself indicates that there was only one turn each, with the Horde going first, then the Alliance winning second.
