It is because it’s not consistent with what was known, because that goes away from the nature of Elune being something unrelated to pantheon (as it was the only pantheon at the time, not the current “every force has one”), and moves the origin of elves in unknown quantity into the Shadowlands territory

What exactly was known about Elune?
How does it move the “origin of elves” into the Shadowlands territory?

The origin of elves was that of Dark Trolls that got mutated by the energies coming out of the Well of Eternity.

Trolls aren’t tied to the Shadowlands.
Even those that revere Loa, that we now know are tied to several aspects of the afterlife (Bwonsamdi or Mueh’zala), aren’t tied to the Shadowlands.

We don’t even know if having Elune be “related” to the WQ, would make her in any way tied to the Shadowlands.
Helya is apparently closely related to the Maw. And yet, she is a Titan Construct like Odyn.
An agent of “Order” like the Titans.

People have speculated about Elune being a Titan, a Naaru, a Wild God, and plenty other stuff. Even after this piece of info, we still don’t know what that MEANS for the character or where can we find its domain.

@Chronorabbit-outland

Worshiping of Elune should inevitable take the WQ into account from now on.

How so?
She clearly tries to differentiate “Her people” from those of “Her sister” (as shown by Ysera).
Besides, wasn’t Ardenweald already heavily tied with Night elves? Didn’t we have a thread not long ago about how the attack against it, was “Another punch to the Night elves”?

Ardenweald 9.1. spoilers

[ - YouTube] Sylvanas and the Maw attacks on Ardenweald. In the last battle Sylvanas her self holds the portals. Tyrande appears and it seams that managed to close the portals, but being defeated by Sylvanas. Sylvanas and the forces of the Maw managed to destroy the Heart of the Forests, and managed to take another key for Jailor. Ysera have seen in her dreams, that Tyrande will save the Ardenweald. Even being defeated by Sylvanas, Tyrande managed to survive. Knowing how hard Bli…

So, what is it? Do people want or not to be tied to said zone?

I’d like to add, that trolls worship Loa that are already tied to said place (to the point some of them are seen beneath the WQ). Why should Night elves, who are in essence another troll tribe, be any different?

---

And i’ll repeat that so far, we have ZERO information about whether they’d be or not. All the above is but speculation.

The only information we have so far is “Elune is the sister of the WQ”.
That’s it.

@Chronorabbit-outland

Do those alterations have to be negative?

What alterations?

Honestly, i do not see what information has changed. (*)
Elune was a blank spot in most of her aspects. Even now, she remains mostly the same.

How could’ve this been handled better?

Would you have felt better if she had been a Titan? Azeroth’s fetus?
A Light entity?
A Void one?
A Wild God?

You don’t want Elune related to the WQ and think that contributes to the downfall of the Night elf story, ok. Assuming that we were to accept Elune being WQs sister, what does it make her? What’s her “tag”?

You seem to imply that this has defined Elune into some category. Which category is it? What is she now?
What do we know about her nature with this new information?

============================

(*) And i mean given this new information about Elune. I’m NOT talking about the other changes. I’m addressing this one and asking what does THIS ONE do in the story.
