Which is infinitely more times than we’ve raided Stormwind. Org’s opposite.
Advantage Alliance Bias.
To be totally fair, Legion was all about Alliance characters. No contest. A little bit of Lady Liadrin, otherwise all Alliance.
Except, it had very little to do with the Alliance, short of the compass stuff with Anduin. We were all about our class order halls, not our factions. And when you consider that a huge swath of Legion, which we thought was Night Elf lore, was actually just backstory for the new Horde Allied Race, complete with the largest Horde capital city to date, well…it was less Alliance-centric than it first appeared.
But I’m not advocating that Horde has to get crappy story, just that Blizzard actually TRY to give equal story treatment. Make a damn corkboard with your characters and talk out what the logical move for each is, and weave your story from that. What I see happening is they think up a shocking hook, or “what would look cool”, and force it to work from there.
Looking at “old soldier”, there is no doubt Blizz knows how to tell a great story. But make sure you have a iron clad outline and three-act script before you worry about a killer 15 minute moment.

Velen’s personal history.
Night Elf history.
Tyrande/Malfurion.
I would LOVE for the Alliance to get the same story treatment. I just don’t think the Alliance quite realizes what this is.

I’m kinda tired of the Alliance versus Horde narrative at this point; i liked the story better when some outside force was attacking both factions- forcing them to unite.
But eventually i’d like to see the petty feud between factions stop, and just allow the growth of additional threats to arise. (we still have a giant titan sword stuck in the planet hardly anyone talks about now…)
Also i’d love to see us get off Azeroth again; there is a bunch of planets we haven’t seen yet in the Warcraft lore.

From me to you for being even keeled and reasonable
Oh so wrong… here, let me quote all of your insults:

If it ain’t in game, it didn’t happen.
Novel? Didn’t happen.
Comics? Didn’t happen.
Short story? Didn’t happen.
Know why? The game is the medium that 100% of players have access to. Nobody reads the novels or comics. I mean, sure, the devs can put important events into extended media and say, “hey guys, stuff happened in a book!” but at the end of the day if people don’t read it it might as well never happened.
Mark my words, they’re going to stuff the warfront aftermath activities into books or something, if the alliance is lucky, and we’ll never see or hear about any of it except as a passing reference in cinematic dialogue or quest text.
…and then they’re going to sit there and wonder why the Alliance are saying it’s not good enough.
Hint: If you don’t put it in-game where the relevant players can consume it, it’s not good enough.

And yet, when you did invade Stormwind, you set it on fire.
I really hope that Shadowlands have something better to offer for Tyrande, Malfurion and the Night elves

Yea, Tyrande will die because of how wrong she is for not trusting the Horde. She and the remaining Night Elves will die in a Dungeon, Raid or maybe quest because they are wrong for wanting justice. Sylvanas on the other hand will be redeemed, that’s the whole point of sweeping Teldrassil under the rug.
I think not … it would be really d**k move to do something like that … I think that the Night elves fan base it’s hurt enough

That’s the whole point of the storyline though, to slowly take away everything from the Night Elves. To make it even worse we have all the dead Night Elves suffering in the maw (which is wow hell) forever as they said on Blizzcon. I guess the result of this storyline will have the Night Elves either be completely extinct or just have a few of them remaining as refugees in Stormwind.
Some writer just hates this race very much, and it’s heavily hinted that Sylvanas will be redeemed and that Tyrande will die because of how wrong she is in that Blood War Epilogue cutscene. Not even her daughter agrees with her anymore, not to mention all the other Alliance leaders.
There’s just no respect for the fanbase at all.
It would’ve been atleast something if this storyline was concluded in a book, but seeing that the Night Elves aren’t featured in the new book (which is supposed to conclude BfA) at all, the original point is just proven even further: 8.1 being the entire revenge plot and the Night Elves being ignored afterwards until its time to use them as punching bags again. This time will come soon though since Tyrande will be killed off in Shadowlands, can’t surprise me anymore.
I really hope you’re wrong about the future.

A bad guy NPC ( Zul) set it on fire, because it was important to put into canon that all the new Horde lore leaders (Princess T, First Arcanist, Rokhan) that when they combine their powers and see Jaina…they still need to run away as fast as they can while setting a distraction.
The entire scenario was just a set up to show that only the Alliance gets deity level characters.

I do play Final Fantasy XIV, i play both.
Oh don’t you worry child, Blizz has killed or ruined 90% of the Horde’s main characters, so now they have an entire page worth of Alliance characters to abuse and ruin.
It’s foolish to think that anything else will happen at this point.
The Horde had Nathanos who was nearly as strong as Tyrande (empowered by Elune) and Malfurion combined. In a 1v1 scenario he could’ve most likely taken them out.
They have already ruined all Night elf characters and killed most Night elves off in the lore, the only thing they’ll do is finish the job by killing off Tyrande.
That’s a good thing. They either kill her off or strip her of the Night Warrior powers, one less God character the Alliance has or needs. Personally the latter would work better, and would at least keep people happy to a degree.
But even with the Night Warrior powers she was still no match for Nathanos who is a Horde character. Only when Malfurion intervened.
