I have never liked Sylvanas. Not as a character, not as an archetype. I have never trusted Sylvanas to have the good of the Horde, over the good of the Forsaken; or, really, the good of Sylvanas. She's been running scared of that Void she experienced at Icecrown that her actions have become too predictable. Enslave Valkyr to serve as regeneration engines for the Forsaken, then sacrifice 3 of them for her own life. Scuttle the Horde's efforts to seek the aid of the Valkyries in Stormheim by striking an underhanded deal with Helya to gain immortality. At every step Sylvanas can be counted on to take care of Sylvanas.
I don't understand the concept that Sylvanas could be "morally gray." People who try to walk that premise never played Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. THAT was Sylvanas. That was deathly evil, with no gray. The only way Sylvanas survives as leader of the Horde after this war is if Blizzard pulls an unbelievable 180 that is so far out of character, and such a slap in the face of lore that it destroys all concept of continuity. Not saying this group is incapable of that, I just don't see how the story survives it.
What Blizzard could do, if they were really serious about character development, is not have Sylvanas so much as "run" from both sides. It would be a step in the right direction were she to realize that her being leader has polarized and enraged the Alliance to the point they pose a serious threat to the Horde. To the point where there is a real possibility the Horde would die, just as Vol'jin feared. It would be good storytelling for Sylvanas to make that realization and then step aside in favor of another, Saurfang would work, in a move that actually *would* show concern for the entire Horde.
That would solve one problem.
The Alliance, and I mean *Anduin* strictly here, might cease at the entreaty of a penitent Warchief. Might. But the Alliance will never let Sylvanas go now. Tyrande would kill Anduin herself before she let him pardon the one who destroyed her home and murdered her people. Sylvanas has to pay for that; I don't see any plot twist that is going to get her off the hook.
And if she did become a fugitive, what of the Forsaken? Do we assume they would just allow The Dark Lady to go on her own? At the least I would expect some type of fracture within the Forsaken in-game. Player Forsaken would obviously have to remain with the Horde, but would some of the Forsaken decide to go into seclusion with Sylvanas and become their own sub-faction of a sub faction? Sounds intriguing until you realize it's way too complicated for Blizzard to ever pull off and we're probably getting something stuffed into a sausage casing instead.
Me I think 8.2 will deal with her removal and a new warchief being placed.
But here is a question, could Vol'jin make a comeback? After all, "Darkspear never die."
