it is revealed that Putress and several members of the Royal Apothecary Society had sided with Varimathra after the events at the wrathgate.

Sylvanas knew about the new plague putress made and she wanted to use it against the scourge because the new plague was able to cause fatal damage to undead beings.

Sylvanas Windrunner offers Putress' services to Thrall citing that his knowledge of the plague would make him a valuable asset in his campaign against the Lich King.

From wowiki.

And? It doesn't mean she planned on using it against the Horde. It was developed as a weapon against the Scourge. Also, she offered Putress to help Thrall in TBC. Sylvanas had nothing to do with Wrathgate.

Sylvanas fanboys are upset at Wrathgate. Fair enough; I sympathize with having a character you love ruined. But mark my words, after this denial that she had anything to do with it, the Syvanas fanboy community will spin this (just like everything else she's done) and create some kind of mental gymnastics to justify Wrathgate. #wrathgatewasjustifiedcausesylvanaswasbehindit

That tree was full of weapons of mass destruction nobody ever found, she was just investimagating the same thing at wrathgate as well you betcha!

[mingarrubia]

We FINALLY have confirmation that Sylvanas ordered the Wrathgate.

They're just setting things up for Bolvar's return for revenge. Or Taelia's. Or both.

Nucular azerite weapons!

Yup. Sadly, this is true. She's an interesting character - or used to be, but it was never the "hot sexy undead night elf waifu in a leather bikini" for me.

She should have died for good, jumping off of Icecrown. That would have made her story arc poignant, meaningful, and bittersweet. But I guess Sylvanas Whiplash is better? For reasons? I guess cold, dead boobs are important.

I have to agree here.Good characters have to end at some point,either dying or stepping back from the front row.If you keep them for the sake of keeping them,they're just going to end up terrible sooner or later

[salate]

So Sylvanas made second Lich King? Huh?
Bolvar wanted to take over Acherus for some reason?
AARGH twisted stuff is so twisted!

[Frozenbeef]

We need a new faction..a "green" faction to combat the hordes red and alliance blue where people like sylvanas and co can dwell :P

Oh, god, I cracked the code.

Blue + Red = Purple

Alliance + Horde = Void.

Those crazy fuckers are gonna make a third faction. And Alleria will run it, and Sylvanas will get redemption joining her, because Blizzard writers have an eternal boner for redemption.

[Cathululock]

I can't see myself continuing to play this game if the Horde is under Sylvanas. There is no faction pride under her aside from a few horny teens who call her bae.

No way that Teldrassil would burn up so quickly with just a few fiery catapult shots.

Fiery catapult shots don't melt world trees!
Teldrassil was an inside job. Put in motion by Saurfang and Malfurion to get Tyrande to become a Night Warrior to dispose of Sylvanas and make Saurfang the leader. Sadly both Malfy and Saurfang are being manipulated into this by the true mastermind; Zappy boi

"He refers to the Wrathgate as being under Sylvanas's orders...?"

Does he really? Or does he mean using the Plague against Gilneas against Garrosh's orders?
That would make more sense

[Arakakao]

"The developerbase and Alex are all fans of Sylvanas"

And this, kids, is the reason why WoW's story sucks.

[wonderlust]

Bullshit, Putress was allied with Varimathras who betrayed Sylvanas. It's right in the fucking game. They tried killing her for christ's sake.

Go argue with Afrasiabi, not me. He's the one who has been writing her story since then, and he just said that she ordered it.

[baseballfan]

So you want enhance shamans to have different choices other than lightning shield? So you remove the fun part about lightning shield instead of some other change? Awesome design choice. Lightning shield was one of the most fun things about the spec..

[Fullmetal89]

"He refers to the Wrathgate as being under Sylvanas's orders...?"



Wait wtf? Are they just retconing the lore now? Also, all that talk about Sylvanas being grey or having less evil motives for doing a lot of what she's done since BfA is just thrown out the window. What exactly do they plan on doing at this point. They say they wont kill her off....yet. They want to give players the illusion of a choice siding with Suarfang or Sylvanas when we know that it is going to play out one way or another. So far everything she has done in BfA seems pretty evil, even if I agree with some of it. I don't know what they are doing anymore and I don't think they do either.

[Absintheminded]

I would but he doesn't have a Twitter. Also, it's like, what these forums are for so...

[Highelf]

So this is what BfA is: White old overprivileged man-child farts living out their fetish over a video game character... in a PG13 game. Pathetic. And disgusting.

Not that Jaina or Malfurion would have a huge fanbase, nooo...., but the devs are not fapping over THEM....

what does age and especially skin color have to do with anything?
