They probably haven't even decided on what she is supposed to be, like they've said in a past interview
Just looking up WoWiki, Elune is being handled pretty fucking terribly. She’s described in glimpses with long white hair, a circlet, glowing orblike eyes, and flowing robes.
She also is the essence of peace. Protecting and restoring the land and using her powers to bring calm to the people. Her making Tyrande a Night Warrior is so far from her character I have no idea how it happened. I almost wish this thread hadn’t made me look it up.

Tyrande and NE is gonna have some sort of vengeance arc in the next expac, but after a while they will realise how they lost the faith and path they originally hold dear. It will turn into them finding their way back to elune.
Blizzard at it again, about to peddle the last mysteries of this ruined fantasy universe in order to promote a new raid or whatever in the next expansion.
Personal theory:
Elune is a form of death deity as well, or she is a goddess of Balance between light and shadow with a goal that alignes with a death deitys. She didn't stop the tree from burning, or the night elves from dying during the burning of Teldrassil. She soothed their minds to ease their passage, and remove the pain from dying. We saw her stop Saurfang from killing Malfurion, so we do know that she can actively affect mortals on Azeroth, however she did not intervene in the burning, and save lives, only one of her "champions" being Malfurion.
Next comes Tyrande, and the Night Warrior, where she performed a brutal ritual requiring some kind of sacrifice (She tossed a head into the Moon well to perform the ritual) - she is a parallel to Sylvanas, and I am certain that Tyrande will create some more havoc, and gather more souls for Sylvanas' Master (He/she doesn't care who does the killing, as long as people die, they get the souls). With this said, I don't believe Tyrande is aware of this goal, but something tells me that Elune is somewhat okay with what Sylvanas is doing for whatever reason.
I know I know.. I may be crazy
Whether you think you can or can't - You're right!

I'm also concerned because a running theme in the leaks seems to be Nelfs having some sort of Crisis of faith in Elune because they find out she was somehow tacitly involved in the Burning of Teldrassily due to an agreement with the "Death" entity?
Twas brillig
I still cant see how people claim the wrathgate events were retconned, it is clear that she doesnt mind it. She uses the apothecary society as a scapegoat and then uses the damn plague herself moments later, Garrosh warns her through his commander that she must cease using the plague. She goes "yeah yeah" then keeps using it.
Inb4 they rip off Guild Wars and shes the source of the old gods and the curse of flesh and the night elves are her sylvari.
Ever heard of the "dark side of the moon"^^
There is no real lore behind Elune. They just start to build it so they can basically do whatever they want and don't even have to retcon anything.
