The Night Elves did NOT get their revenge in 8.1, this is unacceptable!

No, it’s rampant speculation.

I summarized it here why it’s obvious to me and why it should be obvious to you too: Sylvanas Redemption in Shadowlands - Why it will happen

@Yifftron-thrall

Further, you got what you wanted: Sylvanas removed from power and her loyalists scattered to the 4 winds.

All we got was a kill on a recreatable Val’kyr. Nathanos and Sylvanas are alive and well, they won. The Horde didn’t regret a single second of Teldrassil and they are still occupying Night Elf lands even after what they have done to them.

As of right now, the Horde is no better than Sylvanas, so why can’t the Night Elves get a victory in terms of kicking the Horde out of their lands for example? Why put the entire revenge plot into 1 quest line?

The least that could’ve happened is war criminals and Sylvanas including her loyalists punished, but nothing like that ever happened.

Again: Not really. Talanji’s kingdom got wrecked as a step in the war and there was no real retaliation, no catharsis that would have come from the deaths of Genn, Jaina or Mechatorque; instead her story just kind of ends on a wet fart.

The difference with Talanji is that they didn’t say that her story is over and she got her revenge by killing 1 of Jaina’s recreatable water elementals. She will be featured in the new book, the Night Elves won’t. Besides that she should be just as angry at the Horde as she is at the Alliance.
