Elves are a natural horde fit anyway since they are just mutated trolls. Troll supremacy.

First of all, curse you for making me defend Tyrande…
Tyrande is getting lots of screen time because she’s RELEVANT TO THE STORY. We’re literally in the Dream right now because of the world tree. Which is incredibly significant to the night elves as a whole, especially Tyrande.
Now you’re just being facetious…
Did… You forget about Shattrath? Y’know, the massive endgame hub-city?
Horde-only areas within contested zones isn’t ‘Horde-Only content’ anymore than Stormwind is ‘Alliance-Only content’.
Shattrath was a little odd but did have the Scryers (which were, let’s face it, mostly Horde) and the Aldor (which were mostly Alliance).
And while you could go either way, the option for a Horde-themed base camp was there.
Then in Wrath we had Dalaran and each side had their own End Zone.

And you didn’t find the notion of a city-state being forced to literally divide itself into Red Team and Blue Team sides more than a bit unusual? It makes more sense to just loom over Alliance and Horde alike and say ‘the war doesn’t happen here, knock it off you morons’.
Also ‘mostly Horde’ is not ‘only Horde’ so I’m stunned you’re giving it a pass given your unforgiving litmus tests otherwise.
What I find unusual is a big company like Blizzard being so chintzy on their development that they’re cramming both sides together in the first place.

Because in the storyline it doesn’t make sense to force the divide there. Kael’thas was a threat to both sides. Illidan was a threat to both sides. The Legion was a threat to both sides. By all rights, the Blood Elves should have been annihilated upon getting even close to A’dal for what they pulled back in Silvermoon to steal (literally!) Paladin.
It never made sense to make the heroes of WCIII into villains. It was lazy and especially never made sense for Kael to ally with the Legion that destroyed the well.
Also, the windchimes had it coming.

Illidan wasn’t a threat to anybody. Even at the time, a lot of us were like, “Why are we fighting Illidan? Shouldn’t we be getting his help against the Lich King?”
And then comes Legion, and the Big Wind Chime was all, “Wait, when we told you to kill Illidan… you actually DID that? LOL we were kidding. He’s the Chosen One.”

Kael was always some fragile puppy desperately looking for whoever could provide him his next fix. The Legion just recognized an opportunity to reach out before anyone else. Plus Arthas was the face of Silvermoon’s destruction, so when the Legion came knocking, the BE were desperate enough to say yes, like any good Warlock.
'Cause that plays to the ‘heroes of Azeroth’ theming.
Illidan was a full-throated Legion fanboy at that point, it made total sense to gank him. What made no sense is when the story turned around and said ‘lol jk we need a charismatic face for Legion and Illidan lets us intro the new class with nostalgia so he’s good now’.
No he really was not. He was just a magister for the longest time until his father died. And his desperation for a fix didn’t come until the well was destroyed.
BE didn’t say yes to the Legion, we fought back against the Legion. Have you even slightly looked into the actual story?
The windchimes are zealots that don’t believe in consent. They are the Bill Cosbys of Azeroth.

Thread just took a dark turn.
Fel power was commonplace throughout the entirety of Silvermoon, completely ignoring the multitude of BE that followed Kael willingly right to the side of Illidan and Vashj. It was so prevalent in BE society that their eyes turned green as a plot point to reflect this.
BE society as a whole may not have jumped ship wholesale to the Legion’s cause, but the margin was not as wide as you want to think it was.
And yes, Kael was desperate. First he begged the Alliance which (erroneously) abandoned him. Then he went to anyone that would listen, which was the Legion.
I’m not going to absolve Xe’ra of what it did, but I’m pretty sure the BE didn’t bother asking M’uru.
Yes because it powered our city. It didn’t have anything to do with how we felt about the Legion. That had to do with survival. Because our magic was not able to keep the city going because the well was dead. Who killed the well were the Legion.
You can play through the exact scenario of us fighting back against the Legion and losing in our heritage quest.
It was Kael and his followers who became eventually the Felblood. Who other Belves called the Scryers fought back against. We all fought back against them in TBC.
This was after the destruction of the well, like I said.
They are all bad. They want to force you to their side.
Lol I love horde but switched to alliance after PVP became a non stop horde beat down. Pretty much main a DH nowadays.
Imagine being such a weak little blood elf complaining that some Alliance people want to help you so the world doesn’t get destroyed and you’re like “REEE but I don’t want to work together!!!”
Wait what?
- It was literally confirmed @ Blizzcon (not the most recent one, the one before) that the Alliance won all of the warfronts from BFA.
- The Alliance destroyed the Zandalari fleet, so they had the naval advantage.
- And aside from losing all the warfronts, the Horde had yet ANOTHER warchief get knocked off the shelf – along with one of their greatest champions killed.
The Alliance got a solid win.

So how many times in the WoW story has Horde had Alliance on their knees and chose to allow them to keep existing? Also you are showing your own bias big time.
Was it really that difficult for you to just read the rest of the sentence you quoted?
Here, I’ll help:
The Alliance playerbase surrendered. They BEGGED Blizzard for cross-faction play because they were incapable of getting anything done, according to themselves.

We can accept that.
Now, run along and gather 20 furbolg pelts for the plush new rugs we’re having you make for Tyrande’s new reception quarters.
If you get some really nice ones, we might let you braid her hair. Do a good job on that, and…
