I would say no. I mean honest question did you even thought about him before we knew this ysera malfurion bit?
He hasnt done anything remotely cool to make me remember him in a fond way.. legion malfurion is still stuck with me. Also he has winged arms that he cant use, everything about him screams loser to me.
Probably because Warrior is a widespread and popular fantasy term, while Fighter is barely used outside of instances of hand to hand combatants.
Whereas Tinker and Tinkerer are literally one and the same thing, in use and in every given context.
The only difference is that one word has 2 extra letters.

You would be surprised by the number of Nelf fans on this forum who would argue that Night elves do belong in a castle and it's part of their identity. Maybe not a medieval stone castle like Stormwind, but still, a civilized setting. Like a city with ton of Highborne influence.
The "Nordrassil" setting of woodland, forest, and forest spirit is only part of the Night elf identity. We now have a sizeable Highborne population that has rejoined their kin since Cataclysm, and who would probably prefer to live in Eldre'Thalas, and not Nordrassil. As a result, perhaps it would be better if their efforts were spent rebuilding Eldre'Thalas, instead of settling in a savage tree in the middle of nowhere.
In the end, Night elves will never go back to their savage and isolationist roots of WC3. They have been part of the Alliance for several years, shared their city with a Human kingdom since Cataclysm, and have been reunited with the Highborne of Eldre'Thalas.

Eldre'Thalas was a metropolis built for magical research and knowledge, Darnassus was built by the druids and rebels who literally exiled all mages from the land. I'm surprised you didn't know this distinction.
Even in design, Eldre'Thalas is clearly more civilized than Darnassus. Most of the buildings in Darnassus are made of wood and aren't even built on concrete, while the buildings in Eldre'Thalas are all made of stone.
Darnassus has always been the city of the hippies, but now the hippies have reunited with their Highborne kin and might start to rediscover some of the more civilized culture traits they lost.

Do all classes and specs get 30 in class tree and 31 in spec tree?
I agree. as in, if they can shape wood into any shape they want, what is the point of masonry?
Also, alternatively, they aren't this passive one-with-the-land race either: They're recent history involves a giant undertaking in trying to turn Silithus into a forest: That's extremely fucked up. Deserts aren't a failed biome, they're an ecological feature that serves a purpose as much as their Forests, and trying to turn it into a Forest shows they consider themselves the masters of nature rather than its servants: The Night Elves approach to nature is as self-serving as any other race.
New existential question: If Dragons choose their visage on their nameday, that means most of them were taking the form of High Elves, thousands of years before High Elves even existed. What's that about? Is their some sort of inherent evolutional function of the High elf form (don't let Varodoc see this post)

This is fine.... if they eventually give the professions a combat spec tree.

Xavius created a scenario where Tyrande could choose to save Malfurion or Ysera from corruption & Tyrande chose Malfurion. Or perhaps he's thinking if he had just died in the War of the Thorns Teldrassil would have never have been burned.
It doesn't really explain why Malfurion did nothing during Shadowlands, but it makes sense if killing Malfurion off was the whole endgoal of this whole ysera storyline.

Feels like the people ignoring Malfurion are ignoring WC3, or like to pretend Xaevius is him with the Legion crap.
WoW refused to use him and are just axing something with massive potential, see the Darkshore cinematic, just to... give more grief to Night Elves?
What's even the point of killing him off? The souls already sacrificed themselves for the seed. Night Elf fans actually do like him and were annoyed he just sat on the sidelines for years.
It's getting ridiculous how much they want to take from this race without even giving them a break.
What do the Night Elves - or even the Alliance in general - have to be excited about as a group right now?
Like, you want to get rid of Malfurion? Let him use his druidic power to merge with the seed and grow it into a massive new world tree. Then HE would be the world tree and the fate of the night elves would be in their own hands instead of having to beg dragons.
Obviously we have Sylvanas coming back to look forward.
I'm not playing Dragonflight. It looks horrible, the new 'race' looks like something a 5 year old thought up and this comes from someone who loves Pandaren. There's absolutely no lore reason for dracthyr to exist other than people clamoring to play as dragon. The talent 'trees' are just a legion 2.0 talent overhaul that takes away more than it adds. IF they really wanted to fix talent trees they'd 1. undo the level squish from long ago, 2 give us more points to spend and 3 use the real talent trees from classic instead of these convoluted 'trees'. As for professions they're totally screwing that up too. Professions worked fine as they were. There's no need to create a whole mess of crap to collect to make good gear. This whole expansion just reeks of overcomplicated grindfests which are never fun.
