I was kind of stunned to learn that, after saying how sorry they were for betraying literally all life in the universe for the promise of power and slaying countless billions of innocent people throughout the cosmos, that the Man’ari Eredar are now welcomed into the alliance. I don’t think even the most sincere contrition for their actions warrants getting a pass for that, but I don’t run the alliance so whatever.
However, during Shadowlands we learned that Arthas Menethil was pretty much mind controlled into performing all of his heinous deeds. This was proven even more so as Anduin experienced much the same. I note he is being given a carte blanche forgiveness pass for anything the jailer made him do, which he should.
Well, I suspect that the Sin’dorei, for example, will forgive Arthas for ravaging their homelands and killing off a large portion of their people about the same time that Night Elves will forgive Sylvanas.
I am still convinced that they wanted to write-revenge on Arthas, because their own stories fail so badly. While, to this day, Arthas remains one of the most popular characters in WoW lore.
Blizzard - You know my stance on this. I will continue to remind you of your failures surrounding Arthas. If it takes weeks, months, years, decades, I will continue my campaign on this.
It not so much the smell, its more that the idea behind doing it to Arthas was so he couldn’t overshadow anything else Blizzard does.
Issues is nothing they’ll ever do going forwards will be as epic as Arthas…Arthas is the Vader of Warcraft. Nothing else could compare in fandom history.
In the case of orcs it took a LONG time to get to where we are today. And they are still not welcome in the alliance. only cooperated with on occasion.
