Uh huh, and you could say the exact same thing about the Tauren in the Southern Barrens.
No, no rationalizing it; if the Shatterspear are in the wrong, then so were the Tauren and they deserved to be wiped out.
But the Shatterspear are doing the same thing: Just trying to survive with a group of xenophobic psychopaths at their gates who want to wipe them out to a troll, so with the natural defense of the mountain gone, they had no other choice then to join up with the Horde to try to survive....then, because it was a losing front, the Horde bailed out, leaving the Shatterspear to be destroyed to a troll, with out any statement like Taurjo where at least they tried to let civilians pass.
The Night Elves only left them alone because 1) They didn't know they were there and 2) It would have been too much effort to air lift an army to get to them.And yes actually, the Shatterspear were just trying to survive and were ordered by the Horde to make strikes into Darkshore.Edit: And Night Elves are still the second most xenophobic race on Azeroth; the Trolls are the only ones who beat them out.Edit 2: If they weren't, Maiev wouldn't have had so many supporting her when she tried to murder the Highborne and break apart the Alliance.
