Since WoW started, the Night elf storylines have been following the same scheme, every time it's big build-up, Night elves *almost* being cool, and then the rug gets pulled out from under them, it's not even a surprise twist anymore.
The Night elves manage to stop the Horde at the border to Darkshore, oh wait, a hidden path from Felwood, they're hosed. Tyrande attacks Sylvanas and has her on the ropes! Oh wait, her Night warrior battery runs out of juice, and Sylvanas gets away again. They're holding off Garrosh and his army at the Falfarren river, oh wait, he pulled open a can of Magnataurs, oops!
Sure, Blizz has plans with Sylvanas (Selling crap with her face on it, probably), but for the Night elves it's always "Almost cool, oh wait, lol no", which makes being the punching bag of the Horde just that little bit worse.
