Sylvanas Won, Night Elves Lost (Amirdrassil Is A Dud)

No, because in Warcraft 3 and other times they are shown of being capable of change while still maintaining their core identity.

“They are mongrels and nothing more! They are responsible for Cenarius’ death! I will be damned before I stand with them” —>
“You realize that we will age as these mortals do. Our powers over nature will wane in time.”
“If pride gives us pause, my love, perhaps we have lived enough already.”
“We are its protectors, and through it we were granted immortality and power over nature. Now at least it is time we gave that power back.”
—> “Your plan is a bold one, girl. Perhaps I have misjudged you outlanders. May Elune shine upon you!”

After WC3 they worked their way out of a policy of almost total isolationism.

Their views on the arcane changed as they interacted with others.

Even Teldrassil’s burning could have brought about meaningful change -and- Amirdrassil could have been in Kalimdor. I stated in the thread I started (before it got nuked by Blizzard because people couldn’t stop trolling) that even if Blizzard refuses to put Amirdrassil in Kalimdor, portraying it as a major outpost as they dedicate themselves to help healing the entire world (and themselves), would be a step in a much better direction than what is currently being written.
