They are assholes. They are selfish. They don't want "to fight the darkness in their hearts" or serve Tyrande again, for individual reasons.
They don't care if the rest of the Kaldorei die. They are bad people who just want to live more.
At least, thats what I think.
How many times we have seen individuals turning against their people for selfish reasons?
My argument was for the Forsaken Kaldorei, in general.
Delaryn case is a tricky one, I'll give you that. We don't have enough data, yet. All we know is that "death has a way of making everything clearer". And that she died hating Elune, and maybe Tyrande.
But what clarity is she talking about? She had a vision of somekind after her demise? We don't know yet.
With her arc, I'm cautiously patient. I have the felling that she will be important in the future. Maybe there will be a new novella or short story about her, again. Maybe then, we will know "her clarity".

I only saw one undead Night Elf.
The Dark Warden who is killed defending the Sunreaver, she was at the training grounds too. The rest were Thalassian, I even made a point of poking around to check.
You're not thinking "we want to explore multiple aspects of Night Elven culture" enough. She was obviously from some ethnic minority and things simply got lost in translation. Maiev could have said "scout" in the main dialect, but what was understood was "yolo solo anyone in your path, even if a Void Lord manifests in the physical plane".

Now that's funny. Turns out siding with the people genociding them is just part of Night Elf culture. Then again, the Satyrs and Naga also give credence to the idea somewhat.
What's the point of the Forsaken being free-willed when the vast majority of them don't even act like it, I wonder.

Much like citizens in many democratic countries have the right to assemble peacefully for a redress of grievances, yet it happens quite rarely given the living conditions of a lot of people. It may be inertia, it may be fear, or just the good ol' "!@#$ off everyone, I'm better on my own".
Danuser hates the alliance, along with the other devs. So they oddly enough enjoy screwing alliance characters over. When ever they find a chance to. Darkshore is a clear example of that and the bad writing. Mages that could have opened portals to aid the nightelves with troops but never happened. Because Danuser and possibly Alex didn't want the nightelves to have a chance. Yet in the upcoming patch we are suppose to forget and move on past all the crap they wrote.
I would really like to see this specific Interview where a writer (or any dev for that matter) says without a stupid smirk on his face that the Nelfs (or anybody else) surrected by Sylvanas joined the Horde out of their free will. Because i don't think such an Interview exists.
What is absolutely clear is the comparison between Arthas and Sylvanas all the fucking time. Starting with WoT. The Delaryn scene was basically a carbon copy of Arthas killing+raising Sylvanas.
I think Blizzard will keep true to this comparison till the end, which means at some point Delaryn will break free and lead other undead Night Elves against Sylvanas. Sira, on the other hand, i expect will die serving Sylvanas and whisper "Finally free....thank you..." when she goes down.
Edit:
I just took a look at the polygon article and the paragraph you refer to is:
I'm sorry, but it is not clear what the "deliberate" choice" is. The Writer telling this story or the characters joining the Horde. I read it in the former sense, that the writers deliberatly wanted Night Elves to be raised and join the Horde ranks because they have plans for these characters later on.Originally Posted by Polygon
Edit2:
On an additional note regarding this Polygon article....if the writers really believe the rushed (and to some extend unplanned) Darkshore questline + Warfront were enough to balance 8 fucking months of non-stop Horde-Focus in 3 different types of media (Novels, in-game, prerendered videos)....then i just don't know what to say anymore. But seeing how there has been exactly ZERO followup to anything that happened at Dakshore since 8.1....it's probably 100% spot-on.

I have a feeling that they are going to merge Dark Rangers and Wardens into a single class for players to choose next expansion. Either Delaryn is going to return to the Alliance to give them the Dark Ranger part, or they are going to make those eclipse NE be the reasoning for it.
I think combining the two would give them enough wiggle room for at least two specs and it would give another (hopefully) mail class. They also might be able to squeeze a tank or healer spec into it. Given the Dark Ranger popularity when it comes to future class speculation, I think this would be a good compromise.
Seems to imply the night elves are losing over in Darkshore? Interesting, to say the least.
To be fair on the Wardens she could have just popped by the Vault of the Wardens. Lots of dead wardens in there.
