    I did the quest on both sides by now, I'd done the same to be honest. You chase the thieves through Darnassus and eventually find an Dalaran portal through which the thieves apparently came and have fled afterwards. You step through it and find yourself in front of Aethas and his bodyguards and a fight between them and Jaina immediatly breaks out.
    The only thing Aethas has to say is that Dalaran is their city aswell, he isn't even denying her accusations and his respond seems more like him saying that if he wants to aid the Horde using Dalaran he very has every right to do so.


    After having seen how it plays out on the Alliance side I disagree. Aethas and his bodyguards are the ones you find at the end of chasing the thieves through Darnassus. He doesn't even say he's not guilty and instead pretty much trash talks Jainas. He's looking as guilty as possibly and he isn't even denying it.

    It's like the police finding you at the murder scene, with your hands covered in blood, holding the weapon with whom the victims were killed and when asked to lay the weapon down and surrender you tell them to go fuck themselves since you can do whatever you please and your friends charge in to attack them.


    Thing is, it was done by the Sunreavers, they did use an Dalaran portal to make it possible, Aethas and his bodyguards were standing in front of said portal and all but confessed it to the crime.
    Well then we agree to disagree, since you evidently believe it is fundamentally right to imprison anyone who was a citizen of said nation, that was part of an political party and every member from baker to smith would be imprisoned because a few guys were rotten.

    And considering Aethas prior actions it is very improbable for him to betray the Kirin Tor.

    It is morally wrong, but it was necessary, just like the exile of the high elves.

    It's actually quite sad to read that and see how high the players' hopes were for Garrosh at the start of Cata.

    The Sunreaver are neither an nation nor an ethnicity nor an religious group. They are an organization people join voluntarily. If you were to join an local militia and said militia would start carrying out terrorist acts you can very well expect to be held responsible for joining said militia unless you actually cut your ties. None of those people did.
    They supported the Horde, they supported Aethas and they were support the Sunreavers goals and morals.

    It's like saying people who join the KKK don't exactly know what they're getting themselves into.

    The sunreavers were part of the Kirin tor themselves, they are by all definition citizens of Dalaran. As such subjects to every council member not only Aethas. Many had no idea what was going on as the rest of the city came down onto them. You can't compare the sunreavers to the KKK, the only fitting comparison would be a party like republican or democrat and anyone in that party would be arrested or killed, for simply being a part of it, even though they had no idea what was going on.

    I am in no way arguing that the Sunreavers shouldn't be punished, Jaina did what was necessary, but morally it was wrong since many innocents got caught up in it. That is all.

    No, the KKK or an militia are perfectly good things to compare them too, because that's what they are a fifth column inside the Kirin Tor. And those who had to suffer the consequences have only themselves and those who commited them to blame. Themselves for joining such an organization and supporting it despite what happened in Theramore already and the ones who comitted them because they must've known it would fall back on all of them.

    No, it is inaccurate,the Sunreavers were no terrorist organization,not some militia, instead they used to be an essential part of the city. It is morally wrong to hold every last of them responsible for what some of them did. If someone is to blame it is the entire council doing a piss poor job at making sure there are no traitors in their ranks, Aethas isn't solely responsible for the Sunreavers, every council member is, since they were part of The Kirin Tor and as such their subjects and their responsibility.

    Plus remember that these actions were taking behind the backs of the ordinary sunreavers, The cook wasnt told they stole something out of darnassus.
    Fact is an entire faction got kicked out and imprisoned ever the actions of a very small clandestine group.

    Don't forget that the action of that small fraction of them was to give someone who wanted to conquer the world an item potentially capable of causing a "plague" paralleling the Scourge.
    Soothing Mist:"Healing them for a minor amount every 0.5 sec, until you take any other action."
    Jade Serpent Statue: "The statue will also begin casting Soothing Mist on your target. healing for 50% as much as yours. "
    [What's half of minor?]
    "Statue casts Soothing Mist at a nearby ally for toddler healing."

    Oh, so now all of a sudden someone is not responsible for the actions of their subordinates? Jaina put Vereesa in charge. Vereesa orders you to kill a Blood Elf trying to flee and kill/disable the dragonhawks.

    im playing as a forsaken and i didnt find any wrong about saving some squishy elves .
    Only 1 bad thing in the Horde version is, when u have to kill one of the High elv grand mage's inside the black market.

    And from a forsaken point of view, the lesser races can kill each others anytime and anywhere, it is good for the Forsakens. ;D

    All this was terrible writing on Blizzards part tbh.

    First she gives some speech about peace in Dalaran
    Second she wards Darnassus thus helping the Alliance.
    Third she throws a hissy fit when the sunreavers help the horde.

    So she's allowed to use resources to help Darnassus and the Alliance but if the Sunreavers do something all of a sudden it's wrong? This is terribad writing on Blizzards part and personally I see this as the death of another female character in WoW, Blizzard would of been letting Richard Knakk write this crap it'd probably be 10,000 times worse but at least it'd probably have dragons + zombie Rhonin saving the day.

    She quoted that the Kirin Tor had a legacy of abuse and she does the same thing tossing out the very same people who taught humans magic in the first place. That right there is sucky gratitude and poor writing at it's finest.

    She also completely ignores the founding principles of the city by making unilateral decisions with complete disregard for the Council. Being leader of the Council of Six does not afford her any special powers, she is just the figurehead. She has just as much power as any other member of the Council (supposed to).

    No, just no, no on so many levels that it's not even remotely close to an yes no matter what you do. First of all the Sunreavers are a fairly NEW organization named after Aethas SUNREAVER. They're not an integral part of Dalaran, they sought to become one and their recent actions show that they shouldn't be.

    Shifting the blame isn't going to help you in any kind of way. Is the Spanish Government responsible for the founding and crimes of the ETA? No they're not. The only ones responsible for their actions are the Sunreaver themselves. All those who're supportive of the Sunreavers or even members share a part of their guilt. This is not a religion, ethnic or any other but a faction thing. If you join a group voluntarily because you support their goals and ethics then you are part of them and thus responsible for their actions.
    Would you blame the Allies for the crimes the Nazis commited? No you wouldn't. Neither would you absolve people who joined the Nazi party of their guilt for doing so.

    The cook joined the Sunreavers voluntarily, the cook supported their goals and actions. If someone were a cook for the KKK, for the ETA, Al Qaida or any other similar organization would that mean they're innocents? Hello no! They made a conscious choice and can be held responsible for it.

    Could you guys stop being hypocrites? That'd be nice, altough I doubt it. The whole time you're going on about how neither Aethas nor any kind of other Sunreaver can be held responsible for their own or the actions of their subordinants. But in Jaina's case that's suddenly not the case anymore?

    No, not really. It's not all about being neutral. The Kirin Tor made a choice to aid in the defense of Theramore, they made a choice to aid the Alliance. The Sunreavers if they wanted to be a part of Dalaran would have to support them in their choice. Instead they decided to turn upon the organization they claim to belong to and actively work against the people they're working with.

    It's like an US organization deciding to work with the Nazis in World War 2 before the US officially joined the Allies. Actively hindering the Allies, aiding the Nazis in an attack upon Great Britain and such.

    So she's allowed to use resources to help Darnassus and the Alliance but if the Sunreavers do something all of a sudden it's wrong? This is terribad writing on Blizzards part and personally I see this as the death of another female character in WoW, Blizzard would of been letting Richard Knakk write this crap it'd probably be 10,000 times worse but at least it'd probably have dragons + zombie Rhonin saving the day.
    What the heck? The Kirin Tor were always leaning towards the Alliance, they're a goddamn human Kingdom with an fairly large Elven community afterall. They accepted the aid of the Horde and tried to remain neutral because of the Nexus and Lich King war where only the joined power of all factions involved could ensure victory.
    Since then Sylvanas decided to go on another Kirin Tor killing spree (just do the forsaken questline) and they were already slowly drifting towards the Alliance.

    She quoted that the Kirin Tor had a legacy of abuse and she does the same thing tossing out the very same people who taught humans magic in the first place. That right there is sucky gratitude and poor writing at it's finest.
    The Quel'dorei taught the humans so they would aid them against the Amani trolls as their war wasn't going very well. In exchange for lending strong military aid to the Quel'dorei they trained 100 mages. The humans don't have to be gratefull or prostrate themselves to the Quel'dorei for that.

    And Hamuul who's supposed to be a member of the Cenarius Circle and should be neutral is actively helping Garrosh.

    Aethas can't hold every Sunreaver's hand and wipe their ass at all times. The Sunreavers are a fairly large organization. In Dalaran there are tons of people, magi and non-magi, who are not part of the Kirin Tor. That includes Sunreavers. Most Sunreavers are not in the Kirin Tor. Of the Sunreavers in the Kirin Tor, only a few helped Garrosh.

    Jaina was in direct supervision of Vereesa's actions, making her directly responsible. Jaina also put Vereesa in charge, knowing full well her prejudice against the Sunreavers.

    EDIT: I was pointing out the hypocrisy of people holding Aethas responsible for the Bell, but not Jaina for Vereesa's persecution of the Blood Elves.

    The Sunreavers were members of the Kirin Tor themselves, you can't dispute that, no matter what you say the sunreavers were part of the kirin tor , not a militia, not some terrorist organization, they were all Kirin Tor. Jaina says that herself! I am not arguing that they are innocent it would be quite foolish to do so, but many of them are and punishing them because of what some of their members did is morally wrong. Though it was the necessary thing to do and the rest of the council is just as responsible as Aethas, the sunreavers were there subjects as well.


    Would you blame the Allies for the crimes the Nazis commited? No you wouldn't. Neither would you absolve people who joined the Nazi party of their guilt for doing so.
    If the Allies had been part of the Nazi Government ,yes I would have, the sunreavers were Kirin Tor and part of Dalaran.
    Not to mention the people who joined the nazi party and didn't commit any crime went absolutely free, without any form of punishment.
