So whats up with them? Does she wear eye makeup? Did she put on some mascara and then start crying for the fate of the forsaken? Is it a skin condition from being a zombie for so long? Does lore even mention it?
I'd go with...
It's a game, doesn't have to mean anything, the dev's liked the way it looked.
It's beacuse she's eeeevul.
They always told me I would miss my family... but I never miss from close range.
Well how about that, it sure was. I suppose that lesson is, if you are ever stabbed by Frostmourne, hold your tears back, because your face will get stuck that way for eternity.
Also, I forgot that Sylvanas burned down Teldrassil because a random night elf was being a smart ass. Big magic trees should have fire extinguishers near by. Or maybe water elementals wandering around.
She would've burned Teldrassil anyway. As explained in Shadowlands, she needed to kill as many people as possible to empower herself and the Jailer. Delaryn's provocations only made her pull the trigger faster.
The Void. A force of infinite hunger. Its whispers have broken the will of dragons... and lured even the titans' own children into madness. Sages and scholars fear the Void. But we understand a truth they do not. That the Void is a power to be harnessed... to be bent by a will strong enough to command it. The Void has shaped us... changed us. But you will become its master. Wield the shadows as a weapon to save our world... and defend the Alliance!
Too bad no one, neither Sylvanas nor the writers, knew this back when the war of (the) thorns was written .

Given the flow of the thread and what he literally wrote, my guess would be it was just something he was reminded of because of the posted video.
You are welcome, Metzen. I hope you won't fuck up my underground expansion idea.
Tbh always felt weird when they shown her marks as tears in the cinematic, since in game they were always more like warpaint. Which frankly looks much better aswell, cinematic sylvanas looks akward imo.

Comes down to art style difference to be honest.
The cinematics mentioned where done in a very specific art style that different from wows more clean style.
Edit: Also unpopular opinion here but ingame Sylvanas looks weird as fuck. Her long eyebrows literally looks like something jsut got stuck on her face. Doesnt look like a part of her at all.

It's all of the Jailer juice probably lol
I don't play WoW anymore smh.
All elven eyebrows look stupid if you ask me. I still have no idea why Blizzard went with this style, it looks awful, as if whoever was drawing them slipped and said "eh, fuck it" but the art team then decided it made sense to have eyebrows extend a good feet past the face.
