It could have never happened because according to the writers "vengeance is so bad" and even justice doesn't even exist.
This so simplistic mindset and lack of nuance is one of the greatest flaws that has been plaguing WoW's storyline for the last expansions.
It's so obvious and cringeworthy that Sylvanas will never face any real retribution or justice for her countless crimes.
Why would you want sylvanas to die she's the ultimate waifu of wow lore

Remember when we were all "orc tired" because of Cataclysm, Mists of Pandaria and Warlords of Draenor? I miss those days.
Someone else has been saying that "why would you want focus on your race, look what it does" and I have to agree.
Orcs got a lot of focus, and the race went from noble savages who were perhaps one of the more interesting takes on orcs in fantasy, to possibly being the worse since its proven they'll happily jump to genocide time and time again as long as thrall's not in charge.
Any attention the night elves get is to pretty much kick them in the teeth, while plot lines their fans would have liked (Illidan/Tyrande/Malfurio meet up, Aszhara or well, naga in general, NE's rarely seem to interact with naga) are wrapped up without them.
Now we have Forsaken and especially Sylvannas focus, and she's become a completely unlikeable character.
*Because plot demanded for everybody to suddenly become an imbecile.
For Saurfang to buy into her bullshit 14 words + Libensraum spiel.
For Alliance to let Anduin handle military deployment.
For night elves to suddenly forget the lay of their own land.
Amazing strategy that only requires for all of your enemies to be morons... Works only for writers pets though, before using consult with your local Blizzard office.

Yes, definitely. Anduin is the same shit. Only problem that he also does nothing for the Alliance, Danuser had fucken decency to let her rake in some victories before deatching his Sue from the faction.
Golden is far less "patriotic" so we will have to drag that dead weight of a priesto-paladino-DK for who knows how long.
I wish so, too. But, they're so caught up in their progressiveness that they can't tell a good story from a bad one.
I feel very deeply conflicted regarding this scenario. Whether you personally like Tyrande or not - the situation she was thrust into was very...bizarre and poor story-telling, and is unsatisfying to both Alliance and Horde players alike.
On one hand, I am glad that Blizzard did not go down the route of the permanently hurt and angry woman seeking revenge and alienating all her friends and allies, as was the case with Jaina Proudmoore, Maiev Shadowsong, Sky Admiral Rogers, the three Windrunner sisters, etc.
On the other hand...this ending is not exactly satisfying either. So Tyrande is suddenly happy and smiling now? At the Horde and at Elune? After her goddess sent her people's souls to her sister, and inadvertently to the Maw? What does that even mean? Does that not still mean that most of the night elves are still extinct in Azeroth in either case, and without a proper capital (Hyjal seems to be temporary, they were living in tents not far from the inn on Nordrassil).
"You see, there is balance in all things. Wisdom etched in our very fur: Black and white. Darkness and light. When the last emperor hid our land from the rest of the world, he also preserved...our ancient enemy, the mantid. So it is with your Alliance and your Horde. They are not strong despite one another; they are strong BECAUSE of one another. You mistake your greatest strength for weakness. Do you see this?"
Blizzard's "The victim must not seek vengeance/justice for what is done to them" story spiel they put Tyrande, Jaina and Genn on really shows how their company thinks, doesn't it?
Seems worthwhile to me. Maybe the Night Elves would've been forced to be more proactive at that point. Losing a major leader, having to step up, seeing that one of their greatest heroes was willing to die in order to bring them justice... it would've been a very surprising and cool move.
Agree wholeheartedly.

Got unfairly laid off/fired? Be a bigger man! Move on and find new job or whatever… Dont blame us! So what if we just robbed you of your livelihood?
Got insulted, feel like Blizzard treating you not as a fan but like crap? Be a bigger man! Move on, they didnt meant to repeatedly insult you, it was all fun and games… They wuz tricked… maybe. So what if they do it every time?
Got molested, abused by the colleagues? Be a bigger man… eh… woman! Move on or something, forgive them, they were drunk and what not. Boys be boys. And snitching is bad, actually you should be ashamed of yourself. So what if they viciously abused their company positions to abuse you?
Yeah… sounds fucked up if you ask me. And game ALWAYS tried to tell the “just move on” story. (If you are Alliance, Horde is allowed to be vicious and vindictive.)
I wouldn't say the Horde is really better off.
Even Horde players are told to be the bigger person and allow the radical elements within their compan.... faction to just be free because they were tricked or sorry.
