that's counter the direction of Legion, which shows a degree of acceptance and corporation.
The story of the demon hunters is based on night elves thinking Illidan betrayed them as a legion agent, now the truth is out, Illidan was never with teh legion and was always working to destroy them, and we all relied on the demon hunters to destroy them.. they are definitely not enemies nor betrayers,
Tyrande vouches for them in Legion, and they are there with us all the way to Argus.. why would the Wardens start hunting them again? Maiev has gone past her hatred of both arcane (which is how Legion expansion happened -and she must realise this if you read the audio book (or listen).. and we see Maiev gain a level of tolerance, she is even posturing with Illidan by the time we get to 7.2, she knows this guy isn't what she thought he was.
The whole point of the wardens letting them go is the realisation that actually they may have been working against the legion, and deciding to take a leap of faith in them which they reward with their effectiveness against the legion.
To go back tot he wardens hunting them would be like going back to the ban on the arcane again, it would take the night elves back to pre WC3 RoC legion invasion where they are in the long vigil and everything magical is banned, and they still think demon hunters are evil.
It won't work.
What I want to see is how they have to accept they were wrong, and what this means. The demon hunters show that handling the most corruptive magic around, doesn't ultimately corrupt he soul if the wielder is strong willed enough. the magic does scar the body, but these guys aren't evil fuckers like the demons they destroy, they wrestle with their internal demons and triumph to do what is needed.. I want to see how Kaldorei society views this post legion.
Imo, i think demon hunters would have a duality, both great admiration but also not wanting them to "hang around".. I think they won't be invited openly to live and dwell amongst their kin, but they'd be revered and admired from afar.. They would notice this, but they won't care that much, having been use for millennia to their race not liking them. While the new state of affairs is a change, they would also know that fel is not the place for normal society and would stay away more so for that than the un easy looks they get.
in addition, they would attract a lot of young Night elves having survived Teldrassil burning with vengeance and admiration too . no one would want their sons to join the Illidari, because of the terrible price it would take on them, but yet for some of these nelves, there is no other way, and Illidan is a huge "underground"/ "unspoken" hero especially amongst the non-druid and no-priest elves.
With not a few priestesses having a bit of a crush/boner for their bad boy ways (echoing Tyrande).
The story of the demon hunter is that they're not evil, but their race mis-understood them greatly, now revelation has come, they were right in virtually everything, including restoring the well, .. Legion has huge implications for the night elves that BFA just basically ignored and still need to be explored. There would be an impression and attitude shift that would basically bring the greatest leap in the night elves returning to their pre-sundering perfect balance days..the days before Azshara's addiction, when arcane, nature and Elune were in balance, because the well would be free to use, the stigma gone, the realisation the legion wasn't after the well afterall, and it was not their power that was to blame for Azeroth being targeted, but the legion was already searching for her for cosmic reasons now revealed.
This shifts a lot, a lot of guilt and blame, and reticence, shunning the arcane loving part of themselves (for the night elves that do) it would change things. It wouldn't mean that night elves become an arcane society like in the days of Azshara.. that imbalance will never return because they are no longer that impressed by what the arcane does, having done it all before and also know where imbalance will lead. Their evolving society would be far more balanced now. Priests would remain priests, druids druids, and mages mages based on what their talents are, and some will be drawn to the Illidari.
No Azshara to entice everyone over tot he arcane, and lessons of hubris learned.. their campaign would have to reflect this and show this.
