I'm sure if blizzard showed a kaldorei story throughout the years since WC3, rather than skip to key moments, you would have a much better description of how the changes occur, based on the model of the charater of the Kaldorei - which you cannot ignore .. their character is WISE, Benevolent, forgiving and understanding, looking for healing more so than division - this does not exclude responding hard and tough to corruption and demons - the story shows you why the night elves would respond very aggressively and lethally to the demons - that doesn't mean they are hotheads who all of a sudden cannot be good or benevolent.. they have a character, they have history.. if you apply those variables you can understand how they can generally want their society to mend, including highborne like the shen'dralar -who didn't portal in demons but were part of the group that was problematic, - it doesn't mean being forgiving means they accept addiction and corruption - they don't, but to assume the shen'dralar somehow cannot be addiction free, when a few years later legion expansion follows with the details on how another night elf community, the nightborne gain both a cure to addiction and they reveal the how addiction can happen and what is responsible to preventing it... why assume because the shend'ralar details aren't told that, it can't happen?
