This whole treason hypocrisy shit needs to die.
I was one of very few criticising Lor'themar, Vol'Jin and Baine for doing the exact same thing in SoO and none of you were complaining then.
Me not that kind of Orc!
Nah, Baine is the only sane one in the situation. Sylvanas is disgusting and should have never been made the horde leader. It was a political decision that even the largest of hamfists couldn't force to work.
Because Blizz will not go down the route to give us one 'evil' and one 'good' faction, you mean? You are probably right in this and it's a real shame. I would like it so very much if they'd loosen up the two faction thing and make one 'good', one 'evil' and one 'save the world' (aka neutral) faction.
No. He won't die.
Sylvanas doesn't go with the head through the walls. She is clever and cunning. She knows exactly that killing or punishing Baine for treason would lead to an uproar beneath the Tauren of the horde. She can't risk losing their trust and therefore a mighty partner after the events of Dazar'Alor.
Otherwise, it's very possible to contact Magatha Grimtotem and convience her to kill Baine while promising her powerful position in the horde. The Thunderbluff Tauren would be raging ofc, thats where Sylvanas' time to shine comes. She kills Magatha and wipes out the grimtotem tribe.
This would be a win-win situation for Sylvanas, getting rid of a traitor while keeping the trust of the Tauren.
Piss of Sylvanas fan boy. Baine did what the rest of the horde should be doing.
Infracted.

A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don’t have one, you’ll probably never need one again.
That would be implying that Baine is 'good' which is false on its face. Baine's only saving virtue morally speaking is that he's currently being compared to Sylvanas, who's a caricature. By any other metric he's an abysmal failure and even then a convincing case can be made that until Sylvanas inevitably reveals herself to be an Old God puppet she has been a bigger net benefit to her race than Baine has been to the tauren.
Dickmann's Law: As a discussion on the Lore forums becomes longer, the probability of the topic derailing to become about Sylvanas approaches 1.
Tinkers will be the next Class confirmed.
They were all traitors. But even Lor'themar's "I'mma rebel because Aethas and Rommath did not die in a ritual they from the get go knew was going to be risky" is a better reason than what Baine shows now.
Aiding the Alliance at a cost to their own people?
Well he could at least tell his soldiers to stop fighting. It would be nice i guess?
Can you imagine being a Tauren soldier right now?
"By the spirits this war is so hard, i lost so many of my friends in that warfront... What did you do this week Chief?"
"Well i just saved the live of the strongest Alliance member, yea you know the one who kills 1000 of our soldiers each minute".
