I’m pretty sure more Night Elves died in the sundering than at Teldrassil. With Teldrassil they lost their capital and Darkshore. In the Sundering they almost lost their entire empire.

I told you before, if it’s used to tell the horde “You sucks” all the time, it will fail. in this terme, i agree with you, but:
but if it is wiser, more discreetly used as a point for all peoples, it can really work this time. Teldrassil as the great tragedy that woke up the world, because.if not, it will happen again, only this time it won’t be the night elves but…Orgrimmar, or Stormwind or here insert race X.
Teldrassil is a whole country where almost all refugees from all over Ashenvale and Darkshore who survived fled to. It is not just a city, it is a country.
You have far more faith in Blizzard to tell a good story than I do.
The ironic thing is, I have no confidence in the story writers, I deeply distrust them, I just say that if they handled it that way, it would work
Well they lost all the Night Elves that were living in Darkshore, Teldrassil (which is an entire zone, not just a capital), ans Ashenvale. - How many can possibly be left? Especially after the Horde killed even more in Darkshore or in Nazmir.

Yeah but Night Elves lost way more people in the sundering.
They lost elves at Zin’ashar, Suramar, and Eldre’Thalas. In the original WC3 series, Suramar was completely destroyed. It was really, really bad how many people they lost.
WoWwiki listed Darnassus as having a population of 15,000 and other sources say that is confirmed in the RPG guide (non-canon). I checked the WoWrpg guide second edition PDF online and they had Undercity listed as 13,000. So if both cities were lost, it seems close to equal numbers lost.
But again, I still think there were more than 15,000 elves in Zin’ashari, Suramar and Eldre’Thalas.
They did, but just because one event was worse doesn’t mean that this second or even fourth event (War of the Sartyrs, Sundering, Third War, Fourth War) isn’t bad, after each war the Night Elves were less and less, and less.
thats noncanon 
You forgot that Undercity was fully evacuated while Teldrassil burned down with all of its inhabitants. That’s how they’re treated differently than other races.
Also, there were people in other places in Teldrassil than just Darnassus.
It’s not ignored, it’s just an unnecessary hurdle.
The War of the Thorns content isn’t in the game and wasn’t suitable for new players. It was a quest line with world quests surrounding it. The Battle for Lordaeron scenario is still in the game as a lead-in for the expansion, and functions the same as the WoD and Legion scenarios-- a closed, instanced experience that sets the stage.
New players can read up on all the lore of events prior to their current start point just like everyone else can and has before them.
Maybe suggest where a line of dialogue could be included to reference the Burning of Teldrassil instead of just complaining about how you’re been aggrieved.
with a part of its inhabitants.
She’s been saying it since around the time the Night Warrior happened, IIRC.

only a very small portion was evactuated
Lol imagine if Tyrande is able to get all the fallen Kel’dorei from War of the Ancients to fight with her similar to the army of the dead in Lord of the Rings.
Well she was right about Teldrassil getting swept under the rug so we can pretend Horde are great heroes who preserve life.
So why not this?
Blizzard seems to be retracing their old storylines.
In Valshara Tyrande watched Ysera die. In Shadowlands Ysera will watch Tyrande’s demise.
It is certainly plausible.
Forsaken will lose their female faction leader.
Night Elves will lose their female faction leader.
Parity!
Well we really aren’t true Night Elves, though, obviously, so the fallacy doesn’t apply.
