What if all that building up Shandris and making her kinda "find a common ground" with the Horde over fighting Azshara and ending that ancient enemy serves far more malicious purpose then just FINALLY expanding some character for NElfs that isnt Malf, Tyrande or a Warden?
So here goes...
Now when Shandris is all built up as "Horde isnt ALL bad, right?" character and Tyrande is made up as "Horde all BAD and should die" we can actually have a plot line where Tyrande goes "mad with her revenge and power" and starts doing like real evil shit, followed with Army of the Black Moon while blizz can smuggly speak about how "players who chose to change their night elven character to Night Warrior look now have to choose between changing their appearance again or sharing the blame". Then we can have her portrayed as stupid, overly agressive, wasting lifes of Kaldorei, can have that "soul touching" moment of Malfurion having a breakup with her "you went TOO FAR!" and so long and so on.
...
Basically propping up all the "much needed" plot points. When she is defeated or taken down we can have - Night elfs under Shandris now firmly in the "peace camp" since Shandris is "frightened by the darkness" or "disgusted of the crimes" of Tyrande, have Malf return truly to neutrality and be some sot of druid-hermit "grieving for his wife and seeking reunion with the nature" so he is no longer a "powerhouse of Alliance", then we can have Anduin being shown as "voice of reason" who wants to stop Tyrande from wasting her people lifes in senslessly cruel campaign. And we also can have those night elfs who will never take peace killed either in the campaign or after it when we will be dealing with that.
...
Sounds so morbidly stupid that this actually might be true.
