Very cool and normal to consider posting on a forum to be the equivalent of a streetfight where your goal is to punch your enemies
How quickly did they calm down? Instant outrage is good, but how long does it last?
I quit BfA 5 weeks in. Haven’t played retail since then.

She´s the one making the orginal rude AND aggresive remark.
I´m just pointing the irony to her about “buut, buut!! big bad poster stresses me”… when she basically told us “lul, yur fault, sck it!!”
Communication 101, dude. The tone of the discussion is a 2 way street ALWAYS. Ergo why people should think before posting stuff like broad accusations towards other people with no basis but their narrowminded opinion, period.

Plus the whole argument “Alliance doesn’t get the villain bat because the alliance whines harder and more” is both insane and categorically false lol
If Alliance tears swayed Devs, Kyalin would be in charge of the Story Team by now.

Okay, let’s try it differently. How long does an active outrage (posting topics on the forum) last? Although no, this is also a so-so criterion. Teldrassil is more or less fueled by Tyrande’s revenge content. Sylvanas’ content is not related to Leader of the Horde, Leader of the Forsaken, or Undercity Demolitionist. Bane and Thrall have more to do with a lack of power or influence over the narrative, which has been a major complaint in the past.
Demon. How to weigh the indignation? Is that the “singers” who sing with reason and without reason? But Etriel is one of those, but she tries to reduce the topic to the night elves, which is a “passive” resentment. Here, too, it is necessary to keep statistics, because I remember only very recent cases.
Demon.

Didn’t inhabit the forums much at that time but I heard. Know what I don’t see every time I hop on forums? Complaints about Horde mismanagement. Care to guess what I DO see every time? Night Elves ticked about Teldrassil.
Once again not sure why people want to win the Squeeky wheel award. The Night Elf player-base literally gets derided for it. Not exactly fair to them wanting issues addressed but any way.
The Horde does. So does the Alliance. The two factions should be playing off each other in shifting rolls of antagonist. Don’t get me wrong, I hate the whole faction war nonsense. It is old and over done. However so long as there MUST be a faction war, it should be rotating between the two. So in a sense on some level yes the Horde deserves the bat. But ooooh boy. The Alliance deserves a good batting.
That’s what I always do. I’ve got a long, looooong track record for it. Go ahead and look it up. Heck I even called out the opinions that some hold that loyalist Horde should have their characters locked or deleted literally two days ago. The Dev’s and writers are complete shiz when it comes to writing good fiction. The only remotely interesting plot point is one with the Kyrians and fixing their forge thingy. Everything else I’ve seen is bad.
.
And frankly I only respond harshly towards those who demonstrate a consistent and unrepentant hostility to other forum users. People like that are not worth offering the full extent of my patience to. Topics can get heated sure. But consistent hostility is… Destructive to functional debate. Healthy debate is hard to accomplish when people are talking past each other. I have a hard time understanding why so many argue like it is life or death. WoW is a poorly written and in some places poorly coded video game. Old news. Just like water being wet. Or winter is cold.

90% of the threads are Ethriel or Kyalin lmao

No, I’m afraid that’s not true. We just post the threads that get the numbers - probably because there’s a weird cabal here that’s weirdly invested in telling us that nothing is wrong and that we shouldn’t want anything more - and that if we disagree then we clearly just want the Night Elves to be gods and that we can never be satisfied.
Her argument was that Alliance complaint threads are more numerous and thus shifts the devs to your favor.
Also yes, most Night Elf centered threads are either yours or Ethriel’s.

Does the Horde have their own “singer”? Or would the term “soloist” be better? That is, someone to whom you can write off the creation of topics. The Horde has a longer list of publishers, but their “passion” is lower.
This is probably the wrong logic. Also short. Yes, it’s not logic at all. Mda.
Let’s look at the ten most recently updated threads
Teldrassil is inescapable
Mine
Night elves did not descended from trolls
Not Ethriel or I - Exception noted
Looking to the future for Night Elves
Not Ethriel or I - Exception noted
(SPOILERS) 9.1 Tyrande Cinematic
Not Ethriel or I - Exception noted
Should Tyrande be a Boss or will she go be Winter Queen?
Not Ethriel or I - Exception noted
(spoilers) 9.1 Tyrande cutscene (lol)
Ethriel
What would a night elf name her wolf?
Not Ethriel or I - Exception noted
Night Elves and the Alliance
Mine
Spoilers: Elune’s Identity and more
Not Ethriel or I - Exception noted
I'm So confused Elune lore
Not Ethriel or I - Exception noted
Conclusion: Out of the ten threads tested, 3 were created by Ethriel or myself, representing a figure that’s both below the 90% figure provided earlier, as well as the “50%+1” standard defined by “most”.

Breaking my statement about not responding any further which I am sure to regret.
Did not say that. I said that the Horde on average doesn’t complain as MUCH. Not that they do not complain. Two completely different statements.
If the devs were in the Night Elves favour it wouldn’t always be about them having everything they value taken away. Just like if the dev’s favoured the Horde they wouldn’t have a revolving door on the war chiefs.
The problem is that the current people developing WoW have no idea what they are doing. One of the head devs has the hots for Sylvanas so she is the focus until he can give her some stupid Kerrigan redemption arc. Meanwhile the Alliance leaders all standing around holding their loins because they lack the sense to fill a thimble never mind lead a war.
The only character/faction that Dev’s favour is that damned Banshee that should have stayed dead at ICC! She outlived her arc. They were literally rewriting lore to keep her.
“Oh she’s not evil! It’s her splintered soul!”. So what we kill the splinter and rescue her other shards? Where did I… Oh right! I made comment about that some weeks back about it being like a reverse on Games Workshop Warhammer 40K Magnus. In his back story his evil shard tries to or succeeds in killing his good shard while his noble shard merges with someone else.
Both terribly contrived but for different reasons. Magnus’s to make sure the fans know he is pure evil forever more. Sylvanas… is just a pathetic love quest attempt.
Totally of topic but how did you do that?
When I went looking for threads earlier, using basic and advanced I came up with 50ish threads total no matter what I punched into the advanced settings. Mostly relying on the algorithm to handle itself.
The search was admittedly manual, nothing flashy there, I just went down the list and picked out the first ten night elf threads that I could find.
“I’m so confused about Elune lore” is not a complaint thread about the Alliance.
Grandblade’s thread about the cinematic is not a complaint thread about the Alliance.
Night elf naming her wolf is not a complaint thread about the Alliance.
Night Elves evolutionary troll thread about troll origins is not a complaint thread about the Alliance.
So my statement stands.
Which is irrelevant. Because most alliance people play night elves as most belfs in horde. Forums reflects a minority of community.
The subject at hand is “who complains more on the forums” based on the logic that “Alliance complains more and thus do not get the villain bat”, do try to stay on topic.
I let you move the goalposts once, but not this time. This was your first statement:
“the threads” being an undefined term. Then you provided subsequent definition:
Emphasis mine.
The items tested were within the established scope.
Further, your additional screen (which, again, I am not accepting) was inconsistently applied. There are four other threads that would be disqualified under the framework that you used.
