No their crime was working with Naga. A vague and convenient crime yes. Again, this doesn't rationally warrant blood elves hatred for all humans and the alliance at large at all. their hatred is entirely unfounded, irrational and obtuse. You'd think Garithos was the one responsible for the Dead Scar...
"So the first thing I did was return with my fellow Forsaken, kill them all and eat their corpses". Ya, they were given one hell of a tough break, but they opted to channel that into hate filled vengeance and seek the deaths of everyone who ever "wronged them" be it the Scourge that slayed and raised them or the family that shunned them, equally hated.Sure was when they tried to return home to their friends and family only to be chased away. http://www.wowpedia.org/Dan_Golthas
"When I clawed my way out of the grave, I thought my family would welcome me with open arms. Instead, they drove me out of the village, screaming in a language I could no longer understand."
humans betrayed and murdered by forsaken, after putting aside their fear and trusting them... you'd think the ones who actually did trust them, even temporarily, would be the ones you didn't want to kill. Didn't stop her.Because they didn't?
If you want to think that, go right ahead.Without her, they would all be exterminated by an Alliance invasion.
First, you misunderstood what I said. Sylvanas didn't care about the Forsaken prior to the Valkyr. I'm not convinced of her bsing about caring for them now. Fortifying Lordaeron means fortifying herself with a nation willing to sacrifice themselves for her. Garrosh was quite right about her: Sylvanas is a clever bitch. She's knows whats in store for her when she runs out of Valkyr and has an entire nation between herself and that day. Now with respect to my quote. Yes, she would've killed the humans even if they all went along with her plan. Why? Because she killed the few that DID go along with her plan... the ones that set aside their mistrust to fight united, even if briefly... So once more, tell me, why did THEY die when THEY worked with them?Everything she did was to kill Arthas. But you claim, she would betray everyone anyway once this task was complete. "They would've killed them either way. Why? Because that's what they do..." Tell me again how this is in any way accurate?

They did though. Garithos and others stayed on. Only a portion of the human force left. not all of it. And what happened to them? They were murdered...
He didn't betray them.Only because Garithos betrayed them, leaving them with no other allies.

I should also point out, since its relevant, everyone's Death Knight starts off in a manner similar to the Forsaken at large. Members of the Scourge, hated, feared and loathed. They are freed of the Lich King's control but still reviled and not trusted at all. Now for expedience, all you have to do is go to Varian or Thrall/Garrosh with a letter signed by Tirion and reputation changes. Not so simple with the Forsaken, but the point is they could've proven they weren't bad and that humans were idiots to mistrust them. Humans never attacked them outright. Instead they opted to say "ya we're everything bad you thought us to be" and went on to develop forsaken plague to blight vast tracts of land, raise dead humans, turn non-humans into abominations and all that other nice crap the Scourge did...
there's a reason Forsaken used to start off as *neutral* with the Horde...
