FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..
First off, how can even Jaina afford a ship with her credit score?!
bahahahahaah, you think some BLIGHT is just going to instantly kill these high level characters lol...
I get it, people believe these are just normal characters.. like US that basically don't have any extra power - These people are ultra strong in comparison to normal characters.. I don't think Jaina did much but help them out
You think to small. Sylvanas has no problem with sacrificing anything or anyone, as long the horde will win. She doesn't care for honor. The burning of Teldrassil was NOT on a wimp. That was calculated, cold blooded. Saurfang didn't tell her something new with the "they come for us". This was exactlly what she intended to do. Aggro the allicance so much, they start to come for vengance and make errors.
We don't have any timeline here, but you can be sure, prepping UC with the blight like this was not done in a short time frame. I'm sure they already began preperations before sylvanas even attacked the tree.
Sylvanas always planed ahead... far ahead. She couldn't know about Jaina, nobody did and it was a surprise. If Jaina wouldn't be there, the alliance leaders would be dead by now.

Yeah... we had something simmilar in battletech with units shooting over the whole fucking map and landing a headshot. Or some other inbalanced crap. Not to mention some official storylines that were just... well...
"Who am I? I am Susan Ivanova, Commander, daughter of Andrej and Sophie Ivanov. I am the right hand of vengeance and the boot that is gonna kick your sorry ass all the way back to Earth, sweetheart. I am death incarnate and the last living thing that you are ever going to see. God sent me." - Susan Ivanova, Between the Darkness and the Light, Babylon 5
"Only one human captain ever survived a battle with a Minbari fleet. He is behind me! You are in front of me! If you value your lives - be somewhere else!" - Delenn, Severed Dreams, Babylon 5
There’s a bit in “A good war”, with Sylvanas nattering about inflicting a “Wound that doesn’t heal” to the Alliance, she first figured on bumping off Malfurion for that (Making an enemy a martyr has the reverse effect, if i’m not mistaken), so she decides to burn Teldrassil instead after Delaryn Summermoon mentions hope to her (Earth history with regards to the Alamo and Pearl harbor say otherwise on that front), it’s all rather silly, but we’ll be off to pastures new in a week, to ally our way into new navies (That i believe Azshara will wreck to give us reason to do her raid), you know how it goes, just a regular day on Azeroth!
She did it because she wanted to demoralize the Night Elves by killing Malfurion. Like she said in the novella, Darnassus was never the goal, it was always Malfurion. Summermoon pushed her over the edge with her hope speech and Sylvanas went all out. It wasn't the outcome she expected, and it was very much an in-the-moment decision, not one that was carefully calculated.
Do you think... if I shanked Jaina I could steal her ship and be a pirate?
Cheerful lack of self-preservation
I know it has been said already but Deus Ex MaJaina.
Jaina is not a Mary Sue. By definition of WHO she is over the course of the whole of the Lore, she is one of the most powerful Mages in Azeroth. There is a reason she was the leader of the Kirin Tor. She is perhaps only outmatched by Khadgar and Aegwynn. They have never shown her power scope like that simply because there has never been a cinematic ability to in game until recently.
You can be bitter all you like, but she's not a Mary Sue.
Ho? What you talking about ? HOW THE Hell is possessd by Ghuun ? Who is still under the 3rd seal in Uldir ? First it was dread lord now it is from the lesser old god... Yall is dumb for real.
She is literally the Most powerfull Sorceress (Female mage) in all of azeroth. So sit down and shut up. SHe has more power in her pinky then you. Yall forget she super charged her staff. (With the power of a Titan) When she took the remainder of Lei Shens power. She survived an arcane blast that forever changed here. SHe gonna beat the horde down.
I disagree. Anduin would have failed in his attempt to avenge Teldrassil. That's pretty bad.
People like their labels, but the problem still remains. Jaina has become a walking plot device. Even if her power is justified, it feels really cheap just to watch her do all this shit. Anduin would have failed in his assault without her (and Alleria too). Nothing about this feels like it should be happening.

Yeah..by herself.
That is why it was so stupid. She flew in at the last second and with one spell wiped out a risen army and somehow froze? the Blight away. Then with a waggle of her finger her magic pew pew cannon breached the city walls and then with another waggle she ported a whole army back to safety at the end. With her around the Horde is fucked.
The Alliance (specifically Anduin) wanted to capture Sylvanas, not kill her. That was the reason for the risky and ill-advised assault. Otherwise they could have just sat back and bombed Undercity out of existence or called in the Vindicaar to rake it with lasers from orbit.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
