Personally I don't want Alleria to be killed off. I was making it clear since Legion that I don't think a game that needs the war for it's format, should flatly villify the characters that are actually good at the war.
I was just saying I think Blizzard presented a situation that would make a very interesting post-shadowlands storyline: That while all the other major characters are in shadowlands, Alleria & Turalyon & Lorethamr & Thalyssria escalate the war against each other.
We still talking about that? The Horde were holding back the Legion, preventing The Alliance forces from getting surrounded. But since all the Horde's best fighters were wounded, the only thing retreating caused was preventing the Horde leaders from being killed as well. There was no possible way Varian would have survived. If you played both versions of it that's clear. This is what I mean when the Alliance perspective is very skewed.

Good, they won't notice the alliance armies approach the Sunwell. Letting Alleria void-corrupt it. That would be a cool announcement cinematic for the 9th expansion
I just want a post-apocalyptic Azeroth Mad-Max-themed expansion & we're so close

I don't play WoW anymore smh.
Horde will get the villain bat yet again in Shadowlands, because that is all Blizzard knows. And Alliance will be pants on head stupid unable to do anything until something happens. Oh and the next allied race will be Botani, and for some reason all of the Horde Council will sprout mind controlling vines like that one mage in Gorgrond at the Everbloom dungeon. But those will have NOTHING to do why the Horde went evil again, not a damn thing at all. They are just evil, even though neither faction is suppose to be good or evil. They totally are.
Retail sucks. Classic sucks. No positivity, only negative feedback. Why is everybody so damn miserable? Must be somebody else's fault, it couldn't possibly be my INSANELY TOXIC ATTITUDE.
They still let it happen and took more exception to being called nothing by discarded snakeskin lady.

And the Twitter users will still focus on Thalyssra and Lor'themar smooching and how it made them like literally squeal :3 <3
So she wasn't working for a different actor behind the scenes the whole time? The armies of Azeroth got bad intelligence because there was a mole in the ranks of the world's leaders. Sylvanas was the mole. It has nothing to do with a retreat itself, really. Everything she did while under control of the jailer should be assumed to be a betrayal of the entirety of Azeroth. When you are known to have ulterior motives at the time it makes every single thing you do that is not explicitly and obviously working against the other actor a betrayal.

As if the actual fan fiction writers on MMO-C actually have any better ideas.
People just can't admit they're just tired of Warcraft's story in general, so they do whatever mental gymnastics they need to do to make themselves righteous. In truth, they just can't move on with their lives.
The Void. A force of infinite hunger. Its whispers have broken the will of dragons... and lured even the titans' own children into madness. Sages and scholars fear the Void. But we understand a truth they do not. That the Void is a power to be harnessed... to be bent by a will strong enough to command it. The Void has shaped us... changed us. But you will become its master. Wield the shadows as a weapon to save our world... and defend the Alliance!
He did though. He didn't understand why the Horde sounded the retreat but he recognized their signal and ordered the Alliance to retreat as well. As such, the Alliance got onto the gunship shortly after it arrived. Were it not for Gul'dan's summoning of the Fel Reaver the Alliance would have retreated unscathed.
The armies of Azeroth got bad intelligence because Alliance fucked up, allowing Detheroc to impersonate Shaw and feed bullshit to Varian (and then Anduin). It had squat to do with Sylvanas and you trying to construct that narrative, while fascinating, is rather bizarre. Because Jailer's squad of death entities and Legion are kinda two different forces.
That's irrelevant. Anything and everything can be part of the plan. You cannot trust any of that person's previous actions after they are outed as a traitor. It's the same as anything else. That person was revealed to have been your enemy at the time, and you should never believe anything an enemy says that they want you to hear.
