In what sense? It wasn’t ignored in BfA - the Saurfang cinematics referenced it, Tyrande confronts Anduin over not doing more (he responds that his armies are overwhelmed as it is)… Shadowlands continued the pursuit of Sylvanas, including Tyrande’s personal vendetta, and Dragonflight brought us a new world tree and new home for the Kaldorei. So when did they ignore it?
EDIT: I mean, it takes us 500 years to grow a new redwood. It only took 5 to replace a world tree! 
(forestry pov; I work for the Forest Service).
The current situation is not acceptable and my elves and trolls hold many grudges with the alliance still so far.

They did it again with Brennadam, only difference there was Horde players had nothing to do with that, Blizzard took it from being the Quillboar (a local nuisance/foe) from doing it with new power they fond to Horde doing it to push the faction war.

Yeah but Saurfang just being sad for a bit doesn’t really do it. And Tyrande had to confront Anduin because nothing was being done. There was no vengeance no, repercussions and on our side of things, we go from Teldrassil to just doing quests in Zandalar. It feels disjointed. I don’t really feel like everything gets addressed until end of SL and in part of DF.
By ignore I mean they just didn’t do anything past the superficial aspect. And from Horde side it was like oh well that happened. Now let’s go help fight against the Mogu.
Agreed.
However, a faction divide, and faction conflict, are critical to the game’s foundation.
Otherwise, we get what we have now, with everything being about the Alliance.
From NPC’s to stories to racials, Blizzard isn’t even pretending to care about Horde players, anymore.

The alliance broke it first in Legion with the skyfire and then again in Silithus cuz goblin workers mined azerite. Afrasiabi turned it into yet another Horde bad gotcha! Thing
That was another thing that annoyed me. We apparently did things we never actually did in our quests. And the truth about what happens is different depending on what side you were on.

Who said it was genocide? In war it’s common to bomb the enemy’s cities. Taking the war to the enemy is right out of War 101. Would you call the Allied attack on Axis cities during WW II genocide?

I wouldn’t call this an opinion, i would call it obsessive extreme horde bias, border-lining histrionic personality disorder.
I sometimes wonder if one reason it went so far this way is because they tried to do nuance in the faction conflict but the loudest minority wanted actual hot war between the faction, which would never turn out well.
I am not happy with the current situation, would love it if Horde got some love, or at least took their quests from Horde based NPCs (Thral, Lor’thmar, etc) but sad to say I’d rather have what we have now then being made out to be a villain because that is the only way Blizzard hacks can write faction wars/conflict.
I have Horde bias to balance out the alliance bias of the writers.
good thing your opinion does not get put in the game.
You keep calling it genocide but under your definition, any major attack in a war would be genocide. As for breaking a ceasefire, if there was one, again the Alliance had the high ground. How did they possibly lose that battle?

Last I check the Alliance had what, two ENTIRE CITIES destroy and we have our characters helping the Horde(for Example, Uther helping Sylvanas)
Correction, Blizzard is the one who used this team. Players are merely repeating it.
So? Fact is our leaders died like flies for 6 expansions in a row and were never used outside the faction war stories.
Last I checked Thrall had a big reunion for the orc clans and Baine had a non-faction related questline in DF.
Not to mention every faction leader was in the final, non-raid battle in Amirdrassil.

Are we really down to considering these crumbs as being part of the story when Alliance gets the brunt of it and we are doing their quests for their NPCs for an entire patch cycle?

So… if we were taking orders from Horde leaders would the Alliance players be allowed to claim they don’t want to be walking around listening to the orders of war criminals too?
Yes, we should be getting our quests from our leaders. If those quests lead us to something that is neutral like defeating the same big bad, that’s fine. But we should be getting the quests from our NPCs.

And none of them featured in the actual main plot of TWW so far. The heritage quests aren’t special since all races get it.
