She's one of the very few lore characters with a personality that is apparent when playing WoW.

You can tell WoW changed the MMO for good when players started complaining about the amount of time they sink, into a time sink.
Scripted NPCs are protective of their leader because it's their leader. Fanbois are protective because she has a lot of cleavage and is emo.
Blizzard can and needs to develop everyone else. They developed Sylvanas and her story is over. She at least needs to be out of the lime-light. She might have a better story currently than Tyrande, but thats because Blizzard completely neglected Tyrande along with the rest of Night Elf lore in WoW, and trumped up nobodies like Sylvanas with huge stories tying directly into expansions that dealt entirely with them (Wrath)
It's a stereotype with a great deal of reality behind it. Just look at the fan art of Sylvanas. She's almost always depicted far more naked and less undead than she really is. Usually with her legs spread apart.

Sylvanas is a nobody, why do I mention Tyrande? Because she's a strong female character blizzard crapped on, that's why
Uhhh, yeah that is entirely unreasonable because fan art is done by specific people not by an entire populous and to say that they all draw the same thing is disrespectful to them as artists.

They all have different perspective of her, if you want to be mad at her armor don't be mad at the playerbase.
Are you going to start presenting information on why Sylvanas is a nobody? She's my least favourite faction leader but I'm not blind to who she is.

That's actually the reason why I'm personally against her, and I'm waiting for her come-uppance, but that doesn't mean people are not aware of who she is as a character. It's less being protective of her because a lot of people like her, and more because people are spreading a lot of misinformation and picking broad reasons to generalize her as a character. This thing I have quoted is actually a good reason to be distasteful of her, but others don't generally articulate that.
It also devalues all the work of fleshing out her character as a whole if you just go into the whole "evil" bit. There's a lot of psychology and speculation we haven't seen yet.
If you can't see it, you never will. Quite frankly, she's badass, something pansy ass WoW needs.
Rule of Thumb: If the healer's HPS is higher than your DPS, you're doing it wrong.
a) they have a "funny" sense of morality
b) jerks
c) they enjoy angering others through their actions, you know what theyre called
d) consider corpses wearing little clothing "sexy"
e) consider her "story" interesting
f) all of the above
Isnt 10% of infinite still infinite?
I don't like her at all but I find her "story" interesting. Why does that make me amoral, a jerk, a troll, or a necrophiliac.
Do you people even think before you type? It would be like if I went out and said everyone who likes Malfurion is a near-fratricidal, bigoted maniac who sleeps forever - but I don't because it's not true.
Personaly, couldnt care less about her, but she is as faction leader closest thing to evil in this idealistic universe. Just dont replace her with crap like Broltira or Voss.
