The bombing of her city, the genocide of the night elfs… Is she okay with ignoring what happened to her and what happened to the people she is allied with?
She was okay with peace before and look how things turned out. So why again now?

Jaina seems kind of more “You stay on this side of the line and I don’t drown you” than peaceful.

Yeah… I honestly also think she’s just tired. She’s been in the thick of blood and death since WC3 and saw everything from the Scourging of Lordaeron to the Burning of Teldrassil. The woman must be completely exhausted.

She was moved out of the spotlight for an expansion. Her story doesn’t magically end. She was off fighting the Legion alone in a rage over Dalaran’s rejection of Alliance sovereignty according to the comics and dev interviews.

What, you didn’t see the quest lines? She’s okay with Peace because War is Hell and she’s seen too much Hell. She made peace with her people, with her mother, with the guilt over what happened to her father, and she made peace with Thrall. She’s tired and she wants all the Death to end.

She was not afk, as shown by her short story she was fighting the Legion on her own terms. And before you say “she should have joined us on argus/Broken shore” a ton of Horde characters defended their specific fronts/fought outside the main conflict zones.

Because she is an intelligent person who can see the never ending faction conflict does nothing but weaken us and make us easy prey for the true evils of the universe.
She was never a warmonger. She just got rightfully swept up by rage and anguish because of things that were done to her and her people by those who only wanted war and power. And nobody with half a brain can keep up that level of anger and hate forever.

Returning home after years, being rejected by your family, sent to a literal hellscape to be tortured by a couple thousand year old dead viking ghost, and then finally coming to terms with your failures and being accepted by your family can really change your perspective on life.

She does talk about them during the plot. I’d play through the Alliance side to get more context.
This, and frankly I am too. Yes I know this is Warcraft, but with so many evils lurking on the horizon the last thing I want to do is look to a bunch of Horde and fight them forever. Horde will just get more pissed and vice versa. It’s a war without end, unlike the battle against the Legion, Iron Horde etc. If we choose to fight one another, we’ll be fighting for an eternity.

At the end of the Kul Tiran storyline there is a quest line where you go save Jaina from exile. You do the storyline and learn she was taken to the Blighted Lands, where she must face her deepest regrets. Her mother gets her to understand that all that she did to avoid bloodshed was noble and that it was something her mother wished her father had learned.
She has a moment of realization that she is not the only one who has deep regrets when she talks with Thrall, and understands that she and Thrall could bring peace because they recognize their mistakes.

From the alliance story in BfA, I think Jaina grew up so that would be why.
- Basically what Kiwi above me said.

Pretty much what Kiwi said, the exile on Thros changed her. To add to what she said, while exiled and tormented on Thros, she realized she’s doing what her father was doing. She was so blinded by hatred that she couldn’t see past it. That she was blaming herself for all of her people dying. Etc.
I would assume at one point during this she realizes Garrosh is dead, the Sunreavers who helped him with the bomb are either dead, imprisoned, or were dealt with by Aethas or Lor’themar, as Aethas admitted to the council during the Fire Mage Artifact quest that he knew the Sunreavers were doing things, but he didn’t stop them, but he wished to atone. Which we can assume means he probably told Lor’themar and/or Rommath, and the Sunreavers who participated were likely dealt with accordingly. (It would explain Lor’themar being less “killy kill” towards Jaina in Nazjatar than usual) She wasn’t on the Council at this point, but I assume they still talk.
Not to mention the Horde had no idea what Garrosh was planning to do to Theramore. So holding them accountable would have been wrong. Unlike Tyrande hating them for burning Teldrassil, they didn’t help Garrosh with the manabomb, they had no idea it was coming. She had time to think on Thros, so she probably realized most of this.
