If you are an eternal being, and death is only your more step into each individual soul's journey, it makes a tiny amount of sense. That being said...
Elune's perspective was not fleshed out at all. When a similar reveal happned in Heavensward, thye contextualized almost immediately. Also, even if it was properly contextualized, she still took a decision for an entire race of people.
I mean, I knew blizzard would handle this genocide badly, but cmon.
It isn't spoonfeeding, either. It's adhering to pretty basic narrative principles so the plot doesn't end up a contrived and contradictory mess.

Lol everyone is so unhinged about the story in a video game like its going to changed their lives for the better. Just too funny.
Why is everyone so angry about everything?
Just sit back, relax, and let everything play out.
From what I'm getting at - Elune did not coax nor force the events of the world tree burning. Instead, she was going to force the souls to Ardenweald when they were going to be split up; this obviously didn't happen because of the maw. How did she not know any of this was going on when she could hear her sister's cries and torments? This is immediately contradictory.
Then, gives Tyrande a choice that she already made before and is visibly shaking at the end in anger. What was the point of this cinematic then? To show Elune is ignorant and not all knowing - that she has horrible decision making and a sense of twisted humor? The writing is very questionable, as always.
As per usual, it appears MMO-C is one of the few places still doing damage control for Blizzard and coping like their lives depend in it.
???
Maybe up your reading comprehension if you literally still don't grasp it.
And you're free to concede if you don't know a retort.

Man Genn should've totally just gone to the justice system to find 'renewal' after Sylvanas killed his son.
Vengeance heckin bad, I give it 5 TLOU2s out of 5.
This writing isn't great. Just not for the reasons a lot of people are saying (that Elune allowed the NE's to burn). The writing isn't great because of this thread - it doesn't make a lot of sense to a non lore nerd. The choice I think Elune makes here is to send them to Ardenweald (she thought) instead of being wisps. I don't know how the majority of players are supposed to understand that though. Hence poor writing.

lol
The above is all I should say, but my mind is already racing with the moronic implications and plotholes here. For one, even if the maw hadn't claimed the nelves, how would she have ensured that they actually get to ardenweald anyway? The sorting isn't up to her and nelfs aren't part of the rebirth cycle.
Will Blizzard ever stop bending over the nelfs?
You are welcome, Metzen. I hope you won't fuck up my underground expansion idea.
Another cinematic unlisted. Pathetic lmao
Exactly. So much of this game is the player slaughtering entire settlements of creatures because they stole someone's pumpkin.
But someone who wanted to make the whole universe (Except themselves apparently) serve a big blue man, killing untold numbers, sending them to super hell, and forging many of them into weapons? Nah that's fine cause vengeance is bad.
Not to derail this thread, but the interment camps after WC2 were actually some of the most morally upstanding actions in Warcraft. We don't normally provide enemies food and shelter, we put them in the ground.
What in the actual fuck is Blizzard doing with this story, holy shit.
