I think what I will not forgive WoW writers for doing is how the Horde got portrayed in BFA. A recent RP session made me realize truly how fucked up Teldrassil was more than I already realized and how the other Horde leaders' responses were to it friggin pisses me off.
How they are still being written as these leaders who want peace and a council all of a sudden irks me considering they spent patches fucking allowing Sylvanas to walk over them. Nathanos himself admitted the night Teldrassil burned that she had gone too far in his reaction.
Nobody, no other leader, decided then and there to do something about it. None of them thought "Hey! This is wrong. I didn't sign up for this." and decide to call off *their* faction troops from adding Sylvanas or stop the catapults from doing more damage then they had.
People *knew* how wrong it was, knew how TERRIBLE Sylvanas's crime was, and they stood back and none of them is getting called out for their sheer *cowardice*. Their responses to a huge ass genocidal war crime was to be silent and give Sylvanas their men & women for war.
There was so much potential for a good inner faction Horde conflict story with everyone pulling their own strings and revealing their cards and Blizzard blew it. How wicked would it have been to see Nathanos open his eyes and just *shoot* Sylvanas to stop her that night?
How fucking different could have BFA been where Orcs realized they weren't their ancestors anymore fuelled by the fel corruption and instead tried to help reverse the damage they had caused?
The lack of written agency for individual main characters was distorted and poor.

And same with the Alliance. WhERE THE FUCK WAS VELEN? Where was any reference back to the Draenei's OWN genocide? I know he's a prophet of a damn light shade but how was he not triggered having to relive the HORROR that was inflicted ON HIS PEOPLE but it being Kaldorei instead?
Velen - Witnessed the complete loss of life and sacrifice of his own people. His people becoming decor for a highway of death FFS.
Tyrande & Malfurion - Witness their entire livelihood, friends, families, towns, a city, a culture, a symbol of faith fucking burn.
