Like the last ten times they were asspulled into being alive by Blizzard. In the end it’s and ideology. They were supposed to be dead and burried shortly before Legion, too. Small pockets somewhere are always possible.

Funny, I remember people saying exactly the same thing in 2013 after it was “finally wiped out” in MoP.
link? or source please
Dead. Despite the fact some members of the community like to believe otherwise. This doesn’t mean ‘Scarlet’ RP is dead. As aforementioned there is Scarlet Onslaught RP and Pilgrim RP as alternatives. If you still want to RP as a Crusader it’d likely be undercover covert operations trying to build up contacts and raise funds rather than pretending you have the numbers to assault landmarks.

The recent updates has the Scarlet Crusade as Scarlet Onslaught.
They’re stiffs. Bereft of life. Resting in peace. If they hadn’t been made into underachieving guilds they’d be pushing up daisies. Their metabolic processes are history. They’re off the twig.
They’ve kicked the bucket, they’ve shuffled off the mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bloody choir invisibile. This is an ex-organization.
(Until they Team Rocket back into five minutes of presence, only to die again.)
By recent updates you mean Wrath of the Lich King, where Scarlet Crusade was reformed into Scarlet Onslaught?
Oh, wait, turns out many of them stayed as part of Scarlet Crusade. Then they were destroyed in MoP. Except they weren´t and they were destroyed in Legion.
See, the problem with this is that they aren´t doing Team Rocket and have five minutes of presence, all these “they aren´t actually dead moments” retcon previous “they were dead” lore.
As I said before, people were saying this in MoP and then suddenly Legion changed the story. Turns out, Scarlet Crusade was not destroyed, they simply retreated and then reclaimed Scarlet Monastery. So all those Scarlet RPers who RPed destruction of their order did not have to do it because their order wasn´t destroyed.
Every time Scarlet Crusade was “destroyed”, Blizzard brought them back, yet there are still people who will claim how “they are gone and those who RP them do it wrong”. We all know that famous quote about definition of insanity, right? And people who claim how Scarlet Crusade is definitely gone this time fit it pretty well. I mean, just look at this:
This quote could be literally taken out of those MoP discussions about Scarlet RP being bad in current lore and what happened? Oh, yes, Scarlet Crusade actually had numbers to take back their monastery.
Nope? By recent update, I mean that of Tirisfal Glade and the Scarlet Monastery. That is our most recent (for all to have seen) view of the Scarlet Onslaught clearing out and covering up the disgrace that was the Scarlet Crusade.
We saw assault on Scarlets in Legion but doesn’t seem to be an all out slaughter/war/hunt on them.
Just a quick reminder, here’s a list of Scarlet Crusade military accomplishments.
The Team Rocket comparison is poor. At least Team Rocket accomplished something of note!

They’re very red.
What update? I just flew over Scarlet Monastery and there is nothing indicating mobs (which seem to be the same as from Cata version of the zone) there are part of Scarlet Onslaught.
Did I miss something? Or are you just pulling out headcanon to explain why suddenly there are Scarlet mobs around Scarlet Monastery?

Even the Death Knight campaign has you up against the Crusade, not the Onslaught.
redcroft pls be smart before you unsmart ok
The Priest campaign involves the Onslaught in Dragonblight, but there’s no indication of a connection to those in Tirisfal.

The ones in Dragonblight are the only parts of the Scarlet Onslaught, the Onslaught is merely a splinter faction, not the destiny of the entire Crusade.

“Scarlet Crusade actually had the numbers to take back their monastery” ??? Why would this be relevant at all. Are you trying to gloss over the DK campaign where you are told to kill every Scarlet in the Monastery and how they aren’t leaving until it’s in ruin? MoP AFAIK was returning members of the Onslaught rebuilding the Monastery from the ground up - hence the Flameweaver burning the Library to erase the ‘shame’ that was the Onslaught and (presumably) the Crimson Legion and their inherent corruption.
Trying to pull the “There’s still mobs there - MEANS IT’S NOT DEAD” sure. Guess that means there’s still Naxxramas above Wintergarde and Scourge assaulting it daily because I flew over it and there’s still mobs and the citadel there???
The point that’s being made is that so far every time Scarlets have been eradicated, they have resurfaced.
Kinda makes them a bit like Herpes really, they go away for a while and come back to just be an inconvenience and an eye sore before vanishing again. Honestly I don’t get the appeal in playing Scarlet’s it must be like seeing dick dastardly and thinking “hey i wanna be that guy.”

some people just like RPing as bad bois, you should know, you play a horde character.
/s
Because they were left in similar state (SC completely destroyed) in MoP as they were in Legion and they somehow still had enough numbers to reclaim it. That´s the whole point people like me or Tehya are trying to explain: They have always come back and to assume that “now they are definitely dead” is just wrong.
Also, are you serious? Read the comments you are replying to. You said:
to which I replied:
It´s relevant because you said how SC does not have numbers to assault anything, which is literally the same situation as after their “destruction” in MoP.
Source?
Also, I am not talking about Cata - MoP transition, but rather MoP - Legion transition, where Crusade managed to reclaim Scarlet Monastery on their own.
Imagine wanting to be right so much you are pulling a comment out of context even though it included comment to which I replied.
My comment about those mobs being part of Scarlet Crusade was reply to someone who said that those mobs are part of Scarlet Onslaught and therefore we have confirmation in BfA that Scarlet Onslaught took over Scarlet Monastery.

Underrated answer - current Scarlet Crusaders are just cosplayers from the Darkmoon Faire.
