Well...here we are. The writing is as bad as I'd feared. (Spoilers)


This whole post is spoilery. Y'all been warned.Everyone had all these theories, people on the forums, prominent WoW YouTubers, all these ideas about who would burn Teldrassil and why. Everyone from Genn to Nathanos to even Anduin was suggested.We just didn't want to believe it could be that stupid. That Blizzard was heading down the Garrosh road once again with Sylvannas, telling the same tired boring "corrupted former hero went crazy and (extra) evil and now we have to kill them" for the Umpteen Bazillionth time. We wanted to believe there'd be more depth to it, that the moment we had the big reveal this would show us that this plotline wouldn't be as bad, that we'd finally have that "morally grey" plot that they'd been on about.Nope. "Burn the tree because it'll make them despair more. Excuse me while I cackle and tie this girl to some train tracks make her watch as it burns while she dies."Oh and cute touch with the completely hopeless quest to save the people of Darnassus. I'm sure this emotional punch isn't AT ALL leading towards making Syvlannas a raid boss or something. I'm sure we'll all be SO SURPRISED.Anyway.
