Skoll Shorties

I hope Blizzard realizes that, in their rush to not offend the Sylvanas fanboys, if they keep her around with no consequence like is implied by the interview at #Gamescom, a ton of Alliance players including myself are just going to quit. That is such poor storytelling #Warcraft

I don't think that Sylvanas will go on with no consequences, however you Alliance folk might not be getting the ending you want with her. I'll be the first to say that Sylvanas shouldn't follow the same path as Garrosh - but does deserve heavy consequence for all she's done.

And she won't. She'll either leave or get kicked out by the Horde. The Alliance will get a pat on the head and told that its all better. Because they never get a satisfying defeat over the Horde. Ever. Not a single time in all of WoW.

Neither side will ever be allowed or able to topple over the other. That's the largest issue in WoW - although Horde does seem to gain a lot of wins in events like Teldrassil or Theramore.

You dont have to topple the Horde to give the Alliance a win. As you say, the Horde tend to get them frequently. Every skirmish in Cataclysm except Swamp of Sorrows is a Horde victory (And even in SoS, the Alliance are too honorable to destroy Stonard). Theramore. Teldrassil.
