Why do we kill Krosus?

[meroko]

He's not blocking us from our objective in Nighthold, so why do we kill him?

[Deleted]

Because else we cant get to Elisande

[potis]

Dangerous Eredar that was being revived with the power to destroy one of the strongest NPCs pretty much covers it.

[Glaziola]

To get revenge for tirion fordring or something.

[Moddycss]

Because he simply won't die!

http://wow.gamepedia.com/Krosus

This colossal doom lord, one of the largest and mightiest creatures in the armies of the Legion, was defeated at the Broken Shore through the combined might of the greatest heroes of the Horde and the Alliance. Having recovered from his wounds, Krosus emerges from the bay between the Nighthold and the Tomb of Sargeras to crush any who would oppose the Legion.

krosus is simply revenge most likley, as he murdered tirion, also we dont want him coming up to deal with us during the guldan encounter

why did we kill anyone but first 3+spell blade? i mean you can get to the teleporter without killing any others

[ItachiZaku]

For the loots. He gave me tier and a mount. Rather, my battle pet needed to watch him die for whatever reason, so I could later ride his mommy.

[Aoyi]

Revenge most likely, but he's also part of the Legion. We want to defeat all members of the Legion that have invaded, so it wouldn't make sense to just leave him alone when he's hanging out right next to a place we're already attacking.

Are you kidding me? That bastard abomination killed Tirion! You know that guy who spared us the fate of becoming Scourge Generals against the Lich King. With The Ashbringer alive (the real one...millions of pretenders) Varian and Vol'jin might still be alive.

And you just want to wave at him and go about your business?

[meroko]

Lore wise I get it, but common sense wise it seems silly to go all the way out to the broken bridge between Tomb and Nighthold just to kill a doofus waiting for us.

I should've clarified in my post that I get why we kill him Lore wise but it just seems silly in his placement that's all

[Enthusiastic Steward]

Is that something you would look at and say "Yeah, we can probably just leave that thing wandering around. Should be fine."?

No, but the argument would be to get to Guldan first and then turn around and kill him. He shouldn't actually be baring our way into the deeper nighthold.

[Everwake]

He'll probably destroy Suramar if we just leave him floating out in the bay.

Counter-argument: Do you want him coming up behind you while you're fighting Gul'dan?
Not saying you're 'wrong', just that you can make an argument for both cases.

He didn't kill Tirion though.

[cuafpr]

safe to assume that if left alone gul'dan would call him and he is more than capable of tearing down the tower to stop us if we didn't get him first.
