My Question is why does Blizzard keep on killing Night Elves, Lordaeron Humans that isn’t Stormwind, Worgen, Gnomes, and High Elves on the Alliance?

I think we had a stated percentage with gnomes as well, about 80% or something died in the trogg invasion.
Theyve also had decades at this point to reproduce, right?
And not to mention reconnected with their formerly imprisoned kin (dhs or general servants of illidan and kael thas)
And kael thas even came back sort of
pretty sure elves age slower then humans or orcs.
You did get to set the city on fire when busting Talanji out of the Stockades.
We didn’t raid it and overpower the Alliance.
We hid and acknowledged that one single Alliance leader could kill fivish Horde leaders and the player character.

Don’t say the quite part out loud.
You need to revise that. Jaina never committed genocide. She only arrested Sunreavers who refused to comply to the arrest warrant issued. Lore wise this has been repeated to death. Jaina is not a monster. She did not committed genocide. That’s why Aethas Sunreaver in Ogrimmar spawns at the trading post trying to buy a gift for Jaina. If there was a genocide it would have been represented as such. It was not. The only most recent genocide was on the Night Elves by the Forsaken led Horde forces. Why do people repeat this lie ad nauseam?

She only committed an act of racial purging of an entire ethnic group based on the actions of a few. Going so far as to unleash her personal militant hate group who actively MURDERED innocent civilians throughout the city
Please stop defending Jaina’s actions during the Purge of Dalaran. It’s honestly disturbing how many still defend her.

Think people just want to ignore it like blizzard does because even they knew how out of character it was for her.
Too late, that scenario was all because people complained the alliance wasn’t doing war crimes like the horde so they went “fine, here you go, I know it’s out of character but who cares. We will ignore it in the future”.
I mean, the scenario still happened. Blizz even mentions it during the newest Chronicle book. So it’s not entirely forgotten about.
I just find it weird is all. But that’s just me.

Yeah, badly represented. The Silver Covenant was reeling from the genocide which happened at Theramore. Remember most of those civilians were captured, tortured, made to fight to the death and later killed. The High Elves of Theramore suffered losses. Not only personal like Vereesa with the lost of her Rhonin, but of their own people. This was after years of a detante and bubbling grudges from when the Sunreavers were accepted back into Dalaran after what the Blood Elves did to the High Elf population in Quel’thelas who refused to suck the very life force of living creatures. Mainly exile and removal.
They in turn wanted to give the culpable Sunreaver faction of the Divine Bell incident which was presented in game as the fault of their leader’s refusal to hold his faction and individuals responsible. They the Silver Covenant at the time did not know the extent or lack thereof the Sunreavers as a whole in the barbarous attack on Darnassus.
Later it was discovered to have been not what it had first seem, but the damage was done and this was just after the mana bombing (nuking) of Theramore. After the exile of the High Elves of Quel’thelas and the authoritarian government therein taking extreme measures to ensure compliance of all elves within the nation. Any refusal to accept coercion or exile suffered for it.
The context is important. The Silver Covenant was wrong for seeking justice as they did, but the Sunreavers understood why and even worked to mend fences particularly Aethas Sunreaver as seen in Dalaran mage order hall questing and later conversations with Jaina et al.
At the end of the day. An unfortunate event happened, and later those Sunreavers returned to Dalaran as equal members and the old hatreds subsided and we see this in the destruction of Dalaran and its aftermath.
People need to stop trying to make it black and white when one side was way worse and did far more evil than the other, but the side which is often portrayed as the heroes and “good guys” were not blameless or faultless in their own reactions to the actions inflicted by the Horde under Garrosh and later Sylvanas.

She killed two sunreavers personally and charged valeera’s dudes with murdering the sunreavers.

Jaina’s orders was not to kill on sight or to attack unarmed civilians. The Silver Covenant did have incidents of abuse, but overall very few Sunreavers died and those that did resisted arrest. Jaina’s orders were neither clear and also allowed the begrudged High Elves a chance to get their own version of justice to those who have previously wronged them. Two wrongs don’t make it right, but the facts are the Horde did way worse at Theramore and the Blood Elves personally exiled their kin for refusal to accept the mana draining techniques taught by Rommath.
Again, both sides are wrong, one side did worse, and an unfortunate event occurred, but not as bad as first thought or people here wish it to be. The removal of the Sunreavers was unfair, but it was also during a massive war and those who were removed were thought to be traitors at the time the orders were given due to the Divine Bell incident.
Maybe dont raise your weapons against the leader of your nation?
Of course she is, without Dev bias she would be dead for all the Horde she has killed.
Everyone blames the Orcs for the Horde. No one blames humanity for the Scarlet Crusade. The double standards of the community when applying racial guilt is staggering.

She charged Valeera and her group with policing the Sunreavers, knowing they wanted to kill them.
Valeera speaks openly about her hatred for the Sunreavers before and after.
You can lie all you want, but it won’t repaint what happened.
Nevermind that Jaina didn’t have the authority to begin with. Valeera’s dudes aren’t Dalaran’s police. Dalaran’s guards are. And there’s a reason Jaina didn’t go to Dalaran’s guards.

Blizzard themselves answered this question and explained that the scenario was bugged and that from the get-go it was not intended to play out as we see it. This is a bug issue not a developer playing favorites. Jaina also didn’t know how liberal Vereesa would be with her framing of her orders. We also get later confirmation that it was overblown and even Aethas Sunreaver wanted to make his peace with Dalaran and have his faction rejoin the city. Even so far as defending as recently as this expansion!
Both High Elves/Blood Elves/Void Elves fought together and we see them in the Isle of Dorn. This isn’t a scenario where we can play it as black and white. Jaina didn’t know how it would end. The Sunreavers were responsible and ultimately Aethas took responsibility for his own negligence as a leader. He even tries to make things right with Jaina.
