Why does Blizzard hate Night Elves that much?

So 3 years ago, Teldrassil was destroyed, their population nearly wiped out (genocide) and their zones were given to the Horde.

They got Darkshore back, but they got ignored completely aside from that Q&A answer at Blizzcon. They never got a new home and Ashenvale is apparently a Horde zone now.
They also didn’t get featured in a single cinematic, so the Night Elves only got destroyed as a race so that Sylvanas and Saurfang (and partly Anduin) can get 4 CGI cinematics while completely ignoring the victims of genocide.
Tyrande became the Night Warrior before she was ignored, since she wasn’t present in either 8.2 or 8.2.5 and also never achieved anything significant.

Blizzard then stated in interviews that they would get our resolution and justice in Shadowlands, but it was a lie again because their resolution was having the Night Elf souls tortured and later obliterated in the maw (yes we saved around 5-10% of them in the Ardenweald campaign, but the majority was forged into weapons of the jailer) and a Blizzard dev stated in an interview that Sylvanas will get a redemption and that she won’t leave the story in 9.1 either. Absolutely disgusting.

Great, so we now have to deal with more Sylvanas cinematics but instead she’ll be friendly out of nowhere and the Night Elves will once again be denied their justice, really fair. Even worse, we’ll have to deal with Sylvanas the mass murderer and torturer being glorified for atleast the rest of the expansion, and then she returns to the Horde as if nothing happened and somehow all Horde and Alliance characters are okay with that?

What Sylvanas did to the Night Elves was worse than what Arthas did to the High Elves, since she sent all the souls to the maw where they were tortured and obliterated. And she commited many more atrocities, yet Sylvanas gets a pass on everything and a glorification? And Sylvanas commited many more crimes than just that.

Seems like Tyrande will once again be ignored or killed off then since that means that Sylvanas is untouchable and that she won’t be brought to justice. Really bad Blizzard, you haven’t learned from BfA at all. The lack of any mention of Tyrande in 9.1 also suggests that she will (once again) be completely left out like in BfA.

I’m just wondering why Blizzard suddenly hates Night Elves, is it because they’re the most popular Alliance race and Blizzard just hates the Alliance in general or? Imagine promising them a resolution and justice and then instead glorifying the character that commited all those heinous crimes against the Night Elves, and making it so those souls that were victims of genocide also get destroyed and forged into weapons to make Mary Suevanas even stronger.
The Horde was also immediately forgiven out of nowhere, and the Alliance army seemingly just vanished going from 8.1 to 8.2.5.

If Blizzard hates Night Elves that much, why have them in the game still? This doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. If you’re going to glorify Sylvanas atleast undo the horrific things you did to the Night Elves in BfA and SL.

Tyrande is featured in the Night Fae campaign. The campaign also leads us to think that we’ll see her more than we already did.

She’s not being ignored, the history is continuing.

I guess that is the bad part of having separate campaigns for each player, people don’t get to see the whole history and eventually get lost.

i think its because so many of them use a variant of the names Legolas and Drizzt.

Learn to be merciful.

Don’t trust what the devs say, it almost never the same result.

Sure, if you ignore the fact they’ve made a home in Mount Hyjal but maybe that doesn’t fit your narrative

I would love to see the source on these numbers and the “majority” bit. I wonder if you actually have such a thing.

Gnomes would like a word. They still haven’t done anything with Gnomeregan and it’s been 15 years.

Did you miss out on 4.0 prepatch or have not leveled a Gnome?

Amusing to see how many old Nelf characters aren’t even 60, simply because we don’t care anymore.

we all do.

Because we’re the prettier cooler elves that desverve all of Blizz’s attention and love. You’re kinda like our weird emo cousins, you’re there, we just don’t like paying attention to you.

Went there. Nothing has changed, no home for me.

Sorry Night Elves were shafted so bad and yet blizzard still writes them as weak and pathetic and I still cring over Legion.

As pissed as I am about my entire starting zone being burned into the sea, I feel for the worgan race too. They lost their city, came to our tree to grow up, and suffered along with us. This is all Greymanes fault…

So true. I’ve played this game since Vanilla and have had no idea what’s going on story wise since MoP.

I can’t tell if you’re trolling or not.
