Should have ended on Hyjal or Ashenvale, since ya know… Elf homes.
Give a throw away line in it of “we shall continue to rebuild and marshal here for what is to come.”

Getting some cool scene where NPCs of the race gather for you in those zones would also be great (like humans or undead got). Instead we talk with Maiev on the farm upstate and get a title which means…something.
I have to big agree with this.
Also the Army of the Black Moon got so underutilized, and thusfar there has been zero reasoning as to why the rebranded into the Army of the New Moon and are fine with working alongside Horde members now, especially since the last time we saw them they were fighting the Horde with tooth and nail!
Also I just want Tyrande’s Warglaived to become available, recolour or not! Same with the Umbra-Crescent! 
Personally, I dislike the whole Amirdrassil story beats because I feel it puts to much focus on the (Green) Dragons and how its placed within the Dragon Isles solely to give the Evil Dragons a macguffin to chase after.
I am not against the Dragons helping with the World Tree Seed sprouting, but its main focus should have been on Night Elves and their society healing from what happened before, and moving from Kalimdor to Dragon Isles does not help with that imho.
Please spoil me!

The patch has been announced two days ago. Who even says that the Army of the Black Moon and Sentinels of the New Moon are the same army? We also don’t know if anyone’s fine with working with the Horde, but fortunately there is no Horde here. Wasn’t the entire idea of the expansion that Horde and Alliance were not involved as factions? They just send some delegates to be part of the Dragonscale Expedition, as far as I am aware.
What’s an aan’do?
I dunno what’s aan’do with you heheheheheh
Shandris has used the term “Minn’do” before which seems to be a formal/reverent way to say Mother (since she was talking about Tyrande).
I’m gonna guess, given the context, aan’do is a similarly formal way of referring to both parents.
Feel shame.
My brain was telling me it was Midna, then I remembered that is the Twilight Princess
Min’da does mean ‘Mama’ (and An’da=Papa) so Aan’do could be formal ‘Father’, but the way the dialogue is written it feels like it’s meant to be parents instead of just one.
I know this isn’t the peeve thread, but would it really hurt them to just… go through all the racial languages with one, maybe even two language geeks and just make things make more sense? 
No.
It’ll cost them for little benefit.
I think what does it for me is how even the naming of some languages doesn’t really make sense. They renamed Gutterspeak to Forsaken, even though Gutterspeak predates Forsaken (as obscure as it used to be); the Night Elf language is named ‘Darnassian’, even though Darnassus only existed for barely a decade by the time of vanilla WoW’s launch; how they streamlined every ‘Demonic’ and ‘Kalimag’ language into just being one with their respective umbrella name, and so on.

Oh yeah its not like the Horde got given a neutral hub as a capital and an entire raid area as a capital in Legion.
And it’s not as if things that exist in the Emerald Dream cannot get a parallel in the physical world, either!
It’s been stated multiple times that the Emerald Dream is just a projection of how ‘nature should be’ in the physical world, with the Emerald Nightmare raid even showing the projections of Thunder Bluff and several other places in Azeroth.
My bet is that once Amirdrassil is defended, Teldrassil and Darkshore will rebloom, or something along those lines. After all, Darkshore did not have a Kalimdor Race spot for some reason. They could be planning to do something about it in the near future.
I think Darkshore didn’t have a Kalimdor race spot because it’s a warfront that swaps faction every couple of days moreso than anything else; Arathi Highlands doesn’t have a race either iirc
Silithus also has a toggleable phase and that didn’t stop them from adding one to it.
The Eastern Kingdoms race track doesn’t cover all of the continent since it has more zones. I could just be overthinking this whole thing, but E.K in specific just has a few races here and there compared to Kalimdor which was just all of it, with one extra race track in Hyjal to make up for the lack of a Darkshore one.
If you could read you’d be able to see that I said the same in one of my posts* too, and I have vehemently called that out in multiple threads over the years too.
But hey ho, the attempt to farm quick likes or seem cool must be overwhelming for some people.
You don’t race in Silithus though, you race through Ahn’qiraj which doesn’t phase.
*one of my posts in this thread, that is.
I don’t have a twitter 
True, but atleast we’re not as bad as the Paladin thread… yet.
I think the main issue I have with Night Elves as they are written now has nothing to do with ‘winning’ or anything like that; as much as I think the so-called-twist of Teldrassil was a total lame duck that everyone saw coming from day one, the upheaval it caused (regardless of how poorly the actual lead-on to future Main Story was) was great for RP. And we got arguably the single best Night Elf cinematic in recent history, namely Terror of Darkshore.
And that’s what’s missing; the Night Elves always stuck with me in WC3 (I was terrible at playing them lol) because they didn’t follow the tolkien-esque/typical fantasy elf tropes that, arguably, the High Elves (at the time) kind of did; they cared about nature, but it wasn’t a stereotypical hippie thing, it was “Ah, you have entered the forbidden woods. How much blood are you donating?” thing. They were 7’ amazonian archers and brawlers, with their quite-literal Bear (transforming) husbands and men (who used Druids of the Talon, honestly? Bear Smarsh) who even had building that could get up and punch you.
I think it’s how the Nelves have just been relegated to ‘We don’t make good tactical decisions, despite thousands of years of experience, because that wouldn’t drive the plot’ and ‘we feel very sad now, but I suppose we had better choose Renewal’.
I was all nice and ready to embrace them being the Not Very Nice side of the Alliance, much how the Forsaken had been the people you quietly go to if you want something Super Shady in the Horde, or “Oh hey, these enemies have holed up in a super defensible position, did somebody say Blight?”
Losing because your enemy uses nasty tricks (blight), superior numbers, or technology that your traditional methods aren’t really accounting for? Fine! No problem, that leads us to “Actually, we probably do need the Shen’dralar back” etc.
Losing because the writers decided to smack you with the idiot bat? Gives me the same 
as when we had to go through Revendreths intro with our player character having the enforced IQ of a brick…

Edit: TL;DR - Night Elves should have been allowed to go back to being the part of the Alliance where people go “Wait, stop feeding people to the living roots, that’s very inhumane and morbid!” and replying with “King says what?” And the same level they used to be when even Grom ‘I will fight even Gods’ Hellscream went “These guys are neat, lets fight!”
