Like I said before if you hate the story so much they aren’t forcing you to play the game there’s plenty of other MMOs with pretty elves
Oh please your argument is weaker than the Night Elves. We could each solo you.

See, my point proven. You’re just here for your usual Horde good Alliance bad lines
Burning of a tree isn’t genocide. Unless you think the burning of Washington DC was genocide.
Can I just say, this would have been better presented tomorrow. I think you may be taking this game too seriously. In the end, none of this actually happened, so let’s not get carried away.
One point is that we keep on agreeing with each other. Another point is that Horde players (who have played through their storyline, which I doubt you did) have opinions that don’t align with yours about this subject.
Which point are you proving?
oh no man Horde has been the villan since WC. I LOVE IT
“How could this be happening? How could the Horde have gotten so far, and how—in Elune’s name, why?—had the Horde chosen to burn the World Tree? This was more than war. More than cruelty. This was madness and genocide and hatred so extreme that Astarii could not understand it.”
The point that you’re just here to advocate for more bad things to happen to the Night Elves and defending those bad things that have already happened.
I am not trying to def the genocide on the race it was disgusting but they are not gonna take away a zone just to please the nelf fans
Looks like 3-4 people talking at Elesana at once. This isn’t great for productive conversation.
This isn’t a very great reaction to someones criticism of an aspect of a game they play. Generally people complain about things they care about, and you’re suggesting that if they have an issue with one aspect of WoW, they might as well give it up. Not the greatest suggestion or argument.
Generally, since their entire way of life and protection is based on the tree, and all of their citizenry were located in the tree, it would be genocidal.
Quote me where I advocated for more bad things
Ok ok fine your right that wasn’t the best argument I’ll admit that.

Elune caused the Night Elves to slumber, so many who could have escaped, died in their Goddess-induced sleep.
It was Elune’s fault.
90% of the population escaped to Stormwind. Attempted genocide? Yes. Genocide? No.
OP’s quote is from a POV of a soldier on darkshore who has no idea people are being evacuated so quickly.
Stop lying.

The player is tasked with rescuing about 982, a very specific number, which I always assumed was the number of Night Elves remaining.
“Champion, I need your help! We must evacuate Darnassus before it burns to ash! Many of the city’s structures have already caught fire. Douse the flames and rescue the trapped civilians within! Please, do all that you can… we must save as many lives as possible.”
'Many survivors escaped to Stormwind City via portals, where they settled in the area around Olivia’s Pond, with injured refugees in the Cathedral of Light and Stormwind Harbor and other small groups scattered throughout the city. Other survivors sailed to the beaches east of the besieged Lor’danel. From there, preparations were made to evacuate them to Azuremyst Isle while other night elves stayed in Darkshore to continue fighting the Horde.’ - Gamepedia.

Next time please back up your false accusations. Now, if you actually read the short story your post was pulled from, you would understand that everyone was gathered together to step through portals. Yes, there were stragglers, but it was an effective evacuation.

Lol yeah…
not to mention that was the number of night elves remaining in that one city. so that doesn’t account for the number that lived in any of their other many towns spread across azeroth, doesn’t account for their troops stationed in other alliance cities. and doesn’t account for anyone who was evacuated before hand.
not even ‘attempted genocide’ even really fits here since not only was it a tiny% of their total population who died at teldrasil, but there where no efforts to even attempt to track down those living elsewhere.
it was a seige, things got out of hand, the city was destroyed, there was some collateral damage. civilians tend to die in sieges, thats the nature of warfare.
