That is so dumb. I’m not even going to touch upon the fact that dragons should be immune to magic addiction. Gosh.
As for Illidan, I’d say an important bit about him is that the OG Illidan had good intentions, but they were corrupt by his lust for power. He genuinely cares for Tyrande, he wants his people free from the Legion, but he also craves to be the one saving them. He wants the glory, he wants the power.
Illidan’s motivation pre-Legion: https://m.youtube.com/shorts/7nX0xBHOyeI
“Lordship over this world was never my aim. Only power. Only… The magic!”
—-> We have it right here: he’s power-hungry and this often leads him to bad choices.
Illidan’s motivation in Legion: “ You wish to know the difference between the demons and us? They will stop at nothing to destroy our world. And we will sacrifice everything to save it. “
——> Here instead he’s fighting the Legion as the ultimate martyr.
I just hope we’ll one day get all NElf Glaives available AND the Umbra Crescent!

You’d think the blood from their blue side would prevent it at the very least. But there we are.
noooo I’ve got to steal all the water on Outland!!! it’s for the greater good! So is my demon harem! and my slaves!!! And my giving a bunch of arcane powers to demons instead of the blood elves!

bro thinks he can stare at a projection of azeroth in the night sky and mournfully hold a skull to fix his issues
how little the people of outland would have suffered if he’d just talked to a trained professional about his self esteem problems

Besides, we have never had cases of arcane addicted creatures falling victim of void corruption.
Absolutely. Nope. Not one. https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Warden_Mellichar
This genuinely gives me some hope; there’s a tong of Wrath and TBC items that have had their resolution improved since Warlords, there’s also a lot of items that were never added in warlods (such as blacksmith made glaives); if this is a way to snag them then that’s pretty great.

He had the power of player feedback behind him. In his novel and in 7.0 questline, there were heavy suggestions that he’s going to be a great champion of the Light, leading its armies to victory over the Legion.
And players hated it.
Now, I doubt Blizzard will ever admit it, and the source is that it came to me in a dream, but I really think they planned this to happen and got surprised by the feedback. So, instead they gave us a story that didn’t make much sense because it was rewritten from the original plan and its themes went against the original plan (however still had to have happened in the same place and with the same ending).
Alternatively, it was just another case of Blizzard not realizing that what they might see as right and what the characters in-universe might see as right being different. X’era forcibly trying to Lightforge Illidan is bad because he’s against it, so obviously the good guys will see it that way too, even if the guy she’s Lightforging is literally called “the Betrayer” by his people, became tyrant of Outland, and has on average one gamer moment every raid tier, while X’era is the closest thing to a deity draenei have (if we don’t count the cosmic Light magic as deity).

illidan refusing power even if the bargain is bad is so out of character for him.

He realised the magic wasn’t evil enough.
We hadn’t unlocked the Mag’har yet so he didn’t know about the Lightbound. If only he’d stuck around for one more expansion…

light bad. source? the first actually…
You know who else fought the Void as an ontological enemy? Kerrigan in the epilogue of Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void where she became a golden space angel thing and it sucked.
Light=Bad.
Gonna send you to the paddy fields to learn some darn Harmony if you don’t keep bringing nonsense like that up, Elenthas.

Which quest?
And I guess that sort of answers whether void elves are still sunwell addicts.
That may help

Speaking about it, no one mentioned void elves ever curing their mana addiction. Could it be that it’s how they stay mostly stable with the Void in their heads?
