    There should totally be the option though to pick up a nearby flamethrower and purge them anyway.

    Basically the quest gives you the flamethrower, giving you credit for burning the caravans, but have it totally work on the fleeing vulpera too. Very "Do The Right Thing" shovel of mercy-esque. Or use totem first --> get credit for burning empty caravan. Use flamethrower first --> get credit for burning occupied caravan.

    This is much more in character for the Alliance, but damn it we all know we were itching to burn some vulpera. The Horde shouldn't have a monopoly on morally grey choices!

    If you thought the purge squad made sense you were being pretty stupid. They do the purge squad thing against the fox people for no reason, but then in Zandalar intentionally do not attack civilians.

    I was hoping all the contrasting narratives in War of Thorns was leading to some kind of plot twist eventually (Old Gods etc.) but no, it seems it really is just to rile up the opposite faction with a biased view of what is going on.

    Not a good look. Genocide and the murder of civilians shouldn't be a presentational trick used to slightly annoy one faction, it should be a big story beat that has effects on both factions.

    Sounds like exactly the thing a Horde spy would say.

    >you kill then and destroy/take the supplies

    thats fucking logic, but if you think the route "no no we don't want to kill the little foxes,we re the good guys, just scare then XD"" then the problem is on you

    What he means is the Alliance spares Zandalari civilians in the upcoming raid, but decides to burn up a few nomad civilians instead.

    If they burn them, then they should burn both.

    civilians is one thing, killing trade caravans who transport supplies is other thing, and a common thing

    Aside from the Zandalari being a threat to the Alliance since Cataclysm, the entire reason the Alliance went to Kul Tiras was because the Zandalari fleet opened fire on the Alliance fleet pursuing Talanji, Zul, and the Horde Adventurer and wiped them out, necessitating a new fleet ASAP (and the Kul Tiran fleet was intended to bolster the Alliance fleet).
    Be seeing you guys on Bloodsail Buccaneers NA!

    No, not at all. The Zandalari are our enemies and we go our of our way to not kill their civilians. The Vulpera are not our enemies, there is no reason to just try to wipe them out. What you want is absolutely idiotic "Just kill them all for no reason XD". It's fine if the alliance does something bad, but for it to be that inconsistent for the sake of some kind of parity is pretty stupid.

    no, not rly, the time they are working for the enemy faction like that they are not civilians anymore,one thing is not attack innocent and people who cannot defend themselves, the other is a pretty legitimate target

    again,kill then is just the logical and pragmatic route, but the can do no wrong alliance would not dare do such thing because they are pure and good guys

    I'm okay with it. Puts everything into place. After all, the Alliance can do no evil, therefore was out of character.

    What about the siege of Dazar'alor and killing a neutral king? Truly not evil to just kill people because they are on speaking terms with the Horde.

    Technically the Zandalar's fleet destroyed a big chunk of Stormwind's ships when Zul and Talanji escaped

    Horde are the baddies though. So it's 110% justified to assault and kill the leader of a faction that allies with them.

    Technically the Zandalari have been at war with the Alliance and the Horde since Cataclysm.
