Stormheim was only mentioned all of one time and hastily brushed over every other time and the time this happened and was actually treated as valid motive was in a product not written by Golden or Danuser. The intended portrayal of the Alliance is lawful good, it's just that the writing is tone deaf. One quest after you fling those diplomats into the void, Wyrmbane bemoans the senseless loss of life. But not that one, that of the actual combatants that attack him, which he spares the leader of.
I would be glad if they weren't always lawful good, but that's pretty much the core trait. Even Jaina and Genn, who are the closest there are to having some aggressive posture ditch their warlike positions immediately. Jaina and Katherine realize Daelin was wrong, even though he isn't and they have no reason to believe he was with the Horde being what it is and Genn is more a kindly grandfather than the guy who attacked Sylvanas in Stormheim. Tyrande and the night elves, who have the most reason to be vengeful, don't even appear.

If he's intended to be a dumbass who doesn't get what he's doing then they've succeeded, but I'm not sure that's the aim.
@Niaraa
He goes on some spiel about wealth inequality and slaughters what are primarily golfers and serving staff. Which, in the sense that there's less poor people around once he's done, is successful.
Dickmann's Law: As a discussion on the Lore forums becomes longer, the probability of the topic derailing to become about Sylvanas approaches 1.
Tinkers will be the next Class confirmed.
well so i don't feel that in the alliance quest. he look like a good person who really want to integrate in the alliance, forgive Sin'dorei but are happy to be part of the alliance because he dont want the void to fall in horde hand. but we need some dumbass and evil character in the alliance i am sick of all this "good" side. my hope is in dark iron hands!
So the whole BE population going horde because they met one asshole sergent is completely fine, but one exiled and pretty death sentenced going against the horde is fine?

Every represented race did their thing in their own way, while working towards the common goal. Which is something that Alliance fans wanted to see for a long time. IMO it was much better than the pointlessly edgy Horde version.
Stormheim was a significant portion of the reason why Saurfant went along with Sylvanas' invasion of night elf lands. He knew that Genn instigated the attack during the legion invasion and was never punished for it, and admited that the implications were troubling. This was in A Good War when he was debating this with Sylvanas.

Yeah, and even Keeshan who's an overt Rambo reference at least doesn't steal attention away from the other characters.
I wonder which version of Burning Steppes is canon...did Chronicles 3 specify if it was him or Eitrigg that canonically undermined the dark horde army there in Cata?
no you see it's different because the blood elves didn't go against the government of their people, prince kael'thas. they continued to loyally serve their government and not attempt to overthrow or oppose...
hold on a moment im being handed a piece of paper by the lore gnomes...
oh...
oh no...
