Tbh I already thought about it befpre blizzzcon.. and op even ion on stage said.. there might be.some fishy hands out there.to pick it up( yes pick it up.. there is no one in the tomd anymore.lorewise) yea ofc some one is gonna end up with it.
This was never speculation realy.
It was never forgotten. It was sealing the remaining of the Tombs power. Magni literally talks about this.

She took the tidestone? Oh no...
If only we had powerful Artifacts strong enough to basically 1 shot her in our hands...
Oh wait, we did. And now we can't use them anymore. We can't even use the legendaries we gained during Legion, which should scale above even the Legendary Cloak and Ring. I blame Sargeras' blade.

What do we have now? The Heart of Azeroth? AHAHAHAHA...
My hopes were really that there would be at least some scenario where we get called over to ToS in order to stop them but fail due reasons.
I mean, we have five super powerful artifacts that we absolutely had to keep out of Legion hands under any circumstance just sitting in some tomb and no one bothered to guard them?
I mean, gotta be thankful that they didn't take the rest, like the Tears of Elune and shoot them into some dragons to corrupt them, The Hammer of Khaz'goroth that can wipe out an entire town with a single blow or create obedient Earth Elementals.
Or the Eye of Aman'thul, which can manipulate time and create a substitute Well of Eternity.
The Tidestone was placed at the Abyssal throne, surrounded by the ocean water. I guess it is hard to stop the second Sassz'ine & Harjatan wave without the players

We can't kill Murozond anymore. Already did it. We could depower him and leave him stranded, though.(That was part of the story back then - he was stuck in End Time)
Most people have to hard a time understanding the concept of different people having different paths through time, so they probably won't really make it an expansion.
We should have had the origin of the Infinite Dragonflight and a proper raid fight with Murozond (which he would have survived) in Warlords, instead of a timetravelling Burning Legion.
Kairoz and Garrosh ended up being footnotes of an expansion that should have orbited around them.
At some point, Azshara is going to gloat to us about how cunningly she waited as we were busy doing stuff while she sneaked in and got her Tidestone. And almost as if on afterthought she's going to add "Shame about the other pillars, I would have loved to take them as well, but alas, someone must have been even quicker than me."
Leaves the door wiiiiide open for any point in the future where Blizzard can swoop in with faction/person X that stole Pillars of Creation Y right before Azshara snatched her Tidestone.
Maybe those guys/gals from the HearthStone game can be added so it can explain what happened with the other Pillars...
For the Horde!
Imagine an "inoffensive" faction such as the Defias, or the "Mongrel Horde" becoming a serious threat thanks to the pillars! Sadly, the loud part of the fanbase would screech about the powerlevels and how their character should be able to single handedly genocide every NPC of the opposing faction because bigger threats in the past.
After not Siego of Orgrimmar 2.0 in last patch of expansion we will learn that Sylvanas instead of dying was saved by Helya (part of bargain) and together with Azshara using Eye of Aman'thul created a portal to alternate Azeroth (a new concept totaly not like WoD) to a version where Illidan is the druid and Malfurion is the mage. They intend to stop the invasion and use the wild gods and night elves to get back on players - wait for Dark Portal truning magenta ad reopening. Everyone loves them Kaldorei and it is time for them to get their own expansion. Imagine fightining and interacting with figures youve heard of but couldnt interract with like Jarod, his sister Maiev, Lord Ravencrest, Crigelord Malfurion and peacfull druid Illidan, explore the love triangle with a young prisested of Elune and 2 brothers....
Ye totaly new concept, never seen before and lets elven races to shine. Hell maybe even you get to play as high elf allied race (unlocked via scenario in expansion after that couse no high elves in MU amrite?)
