Don't get it twisted. I understand why they're upset. But narratively it makes sense the Forsaken as a whole would do this at this point. I don't think there's going to be a realistic way to make Forsaken who still like Sylvanas players happy when the rest of the world hates her

For me personally. I used to play Forsaken, but never TRULY RP’d them as that predated when I RP’d. But I wanted to. I thought they had a lot of story potential. I could never bring myself to do it though, because I could kind of sense that this stuff was on the horizon.

The Forsaken as a whole have been problematic for not just the Horde but the whole world of Azeroth for a while now. If they don't change their tunes on certain things than realistically they'd be casted out and treated like all other threats/problems.

But they were written into that corner. Then they were told to accept that the things they were forced to do were wrong. Now a savior who isn’t like them comes to redeem them. It’s not really a fun narrative. I’d expand on these, but Twitter. Regarding being evil: (continued)

There’s lots of ways to write a villain. Compare Dark Side choices KOTOR 1&2. 1 is just “be a dick”, 2 is “be Palpatine”. 2 is actually pretty fun. Forsaken have varied over the years from cartoon villain to a necessary evil to accomplish good. It’s all about character motive.

There’s lots of good examples of Forsaken, but BfA was pretty much “do evil to do evil” without a real goal. Burning Teldrassil was a strategic failure. Most missions were “do this because Nathanos said Sylvanas told us to.” But the end is negating all good examples too.
