There's nothing morally grey about Sylvanas burning Teldrassil...
" In a Society like this table, a state of equilibrium, once one makes the first move, everyone must follow! In every era, this World has been operating by this napkin principle. And the one who ‘takes the napkin first’ must be someone who is respected by all. It’s not that anyone can fulfill this role… Those that are despotic or unworthy will be scorned. And those are the ‘losers"
Stratholme was an unwinnable situation, Uther would have let the city turn to keep his hands clean and conscience clear, then likely lost paladin lives cutting down undead. Arthas made the difficult choice, but the right one.
Sylvanas committed a war crime. You can discuss the why or how but killing innocent civilians in an unprovoked attack is indefensible.
For a moment I thought this was some sylvanas x arthas post that pops up every while in the rp sub-forum, well on topic blizzard fucked with the teldrassil burning, unless azeroth somehow restore the tree and pull back from elune/shadowlands all the souls of the nelves that die, sylvanas and most of the horde is in the chop block, not even Anduin will be capable of restrain the alliance this time.
Sylvanas is killing enemies. Arthas was killing his own subjects.
You people need to get a handle on your forum morality.
Sylvanas burns the tree as an attack on Alliance morale to throw them into disarray. It's quite a common tactic in war in general and in Warcraft. The Velfs are corrupting raptors just cause it affects the morale of the Zandalari. So let's cut the crap about why she burned that tree so you fellas can feel better. It was a plan to strike at morale and a backup plan, it seems.
Unfortunately WoW morale has more plot armor than all the characters combined.
Or an explicit attack on Vulpera caravan or them as a whole by team Purge..

Accdg. to an interview, Garrosh would look like an amateur as compared to Sylvanas. Not too much of "arms" or "fury" spec as compared to Dark lady's.

There are stationed Sentinels/ Hutresses there, even roaming treant potectors. As if NE deploye 99.99% of their troops to Silithus.

Thus, which is morally grayer?
Kinda weird why the rest of the druids within Darnassus at that time didn't used most of their forms to help save citizens.

I don't think they're comparable. If you asked me, I couldn't come up with a better solution to the problem Arthas faced. That's what makes it morally grey. Sylvanas had loads of options and chose the most evil one.

Looked at my talent tree, i was finally there.

Why cant the horde just be the bad guys?!
What are you going to do with a giant tree? Cut it? Burning was the only real option. Alliance snowflakes need to deal with that.
