    That is false. Sylvanas called herself forsaken right at the end of frozen throne without human involvement. They showed actual hate and betrayal towards humans. Why do people repeat this thing? Forsaken are not victim of a hate campaign.
    And who abandoned them? Only mostly elves(ironically their allies now) abandoned them. Plauge moved so fast in lordaeron before stormwind could do anything about it. And they could not even send help to burning steppes because of onyxia.

    That last living memory of their prince and his army turning on them and slaughtering them doesn't count as being betrayed by humans?

    Hah, good point actually. Subjectivity works both ways.

    Still very unlikely, they clashed constantly with humans, not to mention Sylvanas despises humanity for spawning Arthas, the plague was specifically designed to kill both the scourge and humans, which is why I have a hard time believing she would try to build a lasting alliance.

    No, this would only be the case for the ones who would've come from Stratholme anyway and they were wiped out to begin with. The army and the rest of the kingdom fell prey to the scourge/legion just the same the forsaken did except for those who managed to run in time. They don't even blame King Therenas.

    On topic, the forsaken do not hate the Alliance specifically they hate the living in general. Just listen to their dialogues and slogans. It's "Death to the living" not "Death to all living not part of the Horde". The reason they're concentrating on the Alliance as of now is that they currently need the Horde the same way Sylvanas needed Garithos at first and we know how that worked out in the long run.

    The alliance between forsaken and Horde is an alliance of convenience and if it would ever be harmful, not in the best interest or Sylvanas would think she could act against both factions on her own she'd be sure to turn onto her former allies as she did before.

    The reason why the forsaken are so messed up and cruel isn't that they were victimized at some point. It's that they deep at heart are bad people. They are inherently messed up, feel only bad feelings, lost most of their compassion and empathy and hate the living for being alive. They are cruel sadists who relish in the pain they inflict upon others.

    Those forsaken who're "different" often run off or at least try to do so, remember the ones we killed for deserting and running off to the Kirinthor or those who joined the Argent Dawn. The mayority of them however "came back wrong".

    I can easily bet anything that you'll fail to provide any examples. You just made that up so that it fits your vision of the evil undead.

    The way I see it, the Forsaken hate the Alliance primarily cause they turned their back on them, and then turned around and let the Gilneans, the ones who walled themselves off when the Lordaeronians needed 'em most (Granted, it was probably a good idea to do so), into the Alliance despite them also being "cursed" monsters.

    I'd be super pissed off too.

    You mean the Gilneans who the Forsaken KILLED first? Cause Gilneas was completely independant until they needed direct Aid from the Night Elves helping them overcome the worgen curse, only to get attacked by the forsaken at the same exact moment, losing their home entirely. The only reason they rejoined the Alliance is because the forsaken forced them into a position to do so, and this is allthewhile without mentioning the the Forsaken were already a part of the horde for years.

    If they are pissed about Gilneans joining the alliance when they themselves attacked them at their most vulnerable, they seriously have no grasp of their wit.

    Yeah. They killed 'em first cause they did nothing to help prevent the forsaken from dying in the first place. They did nothing for the Lordaeronians when the plague struck aside from turn Arugal loose just outside the wall.

    Granted, the forsaken helped drive 'em to joining the Alliance, but they probably would have done that in the first place, considering the nature of the curse. But if you're already a people driven by vengeance, of course you're gonna wanna destroy the people who turned their backs on you when the wall finally broke down.

    Because the "Alliance" has been wanting to eradicate them since forever. The Scarlet Crusade and the Alliance are no different in their opinion of the Forsaken. To them they're no different than the Scourge.

    People still think that Wrathgate was orchestrated by the Forsaken.

    Nobody starts a war until the Alliance attack the Orcs, Trolls, Taurens, Forsaken and even Gnolls.

    Garrosh brought up this history specifically to rouse the Forsaken soldiers into attacking Gilneas while at the Greymayne Wall.

    Swords clanged against shields. Not all Forsaken clung to their living memories, but those who did held no love for the kingdom that had turned its back to the world in its most desperate hours. (Source)

    Forsaken are the ones attacking everywhere. They are not under siege. They are not being murdered in their homes.

    And if you go back to the third war in lore It is stated that while hillsbrad was saved from the scourge by the Kirin Tor, Stormwind and Ironforge made a military barrier to protect the remaining un-touched regions in Lordaeron. And when Garithos decided to launch a suicide attack against the scourge, they preferred to remain to protect. So Lordaeron and its people weren't abandoned by the alliance. In fact in stormwind there are many Lordaeron refugees.

    Exactly what I meant. They once heard Putress' notorious phrase in the Wrathgate cinematic on youtube and they think they're experts on the Forsaken, while in reality it's just as indicative of Forsaken as Arthas is of humans.

    You can log into the game and just click on some Forsaken character, the phrase WILL come up. And no they at no time say it exclude Horde. If the Forsaken were in a position to stand on their own and eradicate the Horde and Alliance we could draw the conclusion from past examples that they would do so.

    Arthas was an the undead Prince of Lordaeron. The Forsaken are the undead people of Lordaeron. Putress and the royal apothecary society do not stand for all of the Forsaken, but neither were they "fringe elements" or "extremists" compared to the other Forsaken. All they did was to not go along with Sylvanas plans and turn onto her aswell, using the weapons that were developed under her direct command to kill both Alliance and Horde.

    The funniest thing in this discussion, are people who cant stand single race that isnt your generic goody-goody. So even if forsaken are evil whats wrong with that ? They fight alliance because they think its best option, why argue with that ? Do we really need all races to be reskins of one ultimate hero archetype who join in yet another gangbang against EVUL guys ? Geez just let forsaken be themselves.

    And so the Alliance has the right to drive them away because they are... Themselves. I don't like them but no problem with a evil race.

    This thread isn't about the alliance driving back the forsaken, that's here: http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...estored/page18
    But if that's your argument we could say any race should invade any other race's cities and drive them back...because they are themselves? So why do you talk against the forsaken specifically?

    http://www.wowwiki.com/NPC_quotes Oh really?The only phrase I see regarding the living is ''Beware the Living.''

    Oh don't misunderstand me. I like the presence of an evil race in the horde and I also would like another one in the alliance. But, IMO, forsaken are bad because:
    1) I'm human and I like the values of the alliance, so I don't like a race which would wipe out my race, even if we are in a game.
    2) forsaken are becoming nothing more than a scourge part2. They could be better than this.
