*spoilers* - Including genocide in your story and refusing to properly address it is disgusting Blizzard!

No, I just want the hateful writing to stop

There are heaps of questionable assertions in the OP but most have already been discussed to death on these forums so lets jump to the much more interesting question:

What exactly would be the proper response to genocide? Does a proper response exist? Would it involve trying to commit some sort of atrocity as retribution in an eye-for-an-eye attempt to make the record ā€œevenā€?

There’s no hateful writing. You’re only proving what I’ve said earlier.

Definitely not that. That’d make the Night Elves no better if they committed genocide as well. The best way to fix this is just have Sylvanas die. Simple.

Yes there is, there’s an entire post about it.

But that’s not happening so…

Your post? Yeah right.

Dude. You just keep playing into what I’ve said. You are so clouded by this stupid narrative, and I just can’t begin to understand why you love to put yourself and others down so much.

It’s pathetic.

I’m not putting anyone down, Blizzard is. I don’t understand why they do it but they do.

lol really? Is this real? Does someone have a link?

A very true statement when we’re discussing real life, and one that I 100% agree with when we’re talking about real people and actual lives.

However, we aren’t. This is a story arc in a video game. Bad things happen, and sometimes those bad things flat out don’t get resolved or are resolved at a later point in the story. You may not like that, and that’s okay, but you really need to not take it so personally (i.e. calling it ā€œour landsā€ because they are Night Elf lands, not yours, you are not a Night Elf). It’s not disgusting, and it’s not unprofessional - it’s storytelling (the quality of the storytelling is of course debatable).

Noted, next

You’re reading too much into this. Just because some NPC says Tyrande’s fate is sealed doesn’t make it so. He is only going on what he has seen in the past. That doesn’t mean it’s automatically going to happen again. Hell, he says he’s going to try and help Shandris.

How many times in books, movies, television, and games has someone’s fate been sealed with no hope of survival? It’s pretty much a trope these days. And yet, said ā€˜doomed’ person is saved anyway.

You can’t read those datamined lines and automatically infer Tyrande is going to die.

Who cares about the night elves?

ā€œIncluding genocide in your story and refusing to properly address it isā€¦ā€

What history typically does.

i feel like its borderline obvious that Tyrande will get her revenge on Sylvanas.
Even if it is in the afterlife.

Also Sylvanas didnt really want to firebomb the tree.
But Saurfang left her no choice.

Also, noone is glorifying Sylvanas and Nathanos. Everyone hates them lol.

10/10 Bonfire. Would burn again. Victory for Sylvanas!

I hope the bit aboit Tyrande dying doesn’t end up true. This BFA has already been disappointing and im finding it very hard to stay invested in the story. And the story is the main reason I still play the game.

Nearly every quest line and every zone in this game involves either genocide, attempted genocide, or small-scale slaughter that might look a lot like genocide, depending on one’s frame of reference.

The only difference here is the group being slaughtered is one you happen to like. Ponder how you were a-ok with all the previous genocides in world of genocidecraft but now, suddenly, can’t handle this one.

I don’t see that as a possibility when Tyrande dies and Sylvanas and Nathanos are untouchable and redeemed…

i think Nathanos is the only one who qualifies for any redemption.
And i feel like he will get it.
I imagine Sylvanas will break his little heart, and he will come to realise what he’s been doing has been wrong.

aww c’mon, they are truly immense powers. So strong are they it fought Nathanos to a draw.

We will forget the bit about how the first script made and developed tyrande lost, Hard.

Such great powers no mere mortal can contain. end sarcasm.

Sadly with how they write tyrande…death is better for her. I feel bad for the voice actress more and more. I bet she goes home going man…I need the paycheck but damn its getting harder. The lines they give me are trash.

The entire story has been stupid to me, so I feel your pain.

Sylvannas may have her reasons for wanting a huge war and death toll, but all the people that listened to her moronic reasons for war didn’t. I mean let’s burn down a tree and commit genocide against a people because… this action will help control access to azerite? In what world did that make sense, because it wasn’t this one.

And the story as it unfolded backed up how stupid that initial argument for war was.

That was the start of the stupid train and the story stupided its way down the tracks including the alliance’s idiotic strategy at Zuldazar, among others.

My suggestion is just to close the curtains, don’t look out the window, and hope the stupid train finds some better story next expansion.
