Samples aren't enough. It took years for the RAS to develop it with Scourge samples at their disposal. The Alliance doesn't have as much experience with alchemy as the RAS does.True... but the Blight is already completed, it's not like their trying to make it from a uncompleted source, there merely duplicating it from the samples they have. It's like a nuke, if a nation has the technology and money, they can build them, as the information is wide spread; unless you don't believe, that anywhere in the myrid of peoples that make up the Alliance, there isn't any alchemest equal to RAS?
The Blight is powerful, but it would be too boring for it to be the Ultimate Weapon don't you agree? There'll be ways to counter it, I'm sure. Then I'll rephrase it.... with the Demon Soul destroyed, at this moment in time, the Blight, which can kill even the dead, is the ultimate weapon Azeroth till such a time as the next super powered weapon appears.

But I also don't think that the someone like Varian would dare to do so. He would become his enemies by using the Blight.Hence my Cold War reference earlier, as the Blight if both sides have it, are equal, as any battle can end instantly with a catapult and a few barrels of this crap, if they don't have the gasmasks.

I stand by Farnell playing "good guy" until the heat cools down.
Rankkorr... sorry
I am willing to start over if you are.
believe me bro' I'm willing to start over, let's put the past behind us and move foward, I don't harbor any kind of hard feelings. (edit) see? I've even changed my sig, so yhea let's start over, no problem by me
I believe farnell is playing the good boy act too, but I also think that even if he want's to get back to the good'ol mad scientist act there's not really anything he can actually do.
I sat there in their lab to see any new scripted scenes, and the grip the orcs have on him is so strong that he can't do anything harmfull, for all intents and purpuses is like he's under house arrest.
so yhea, maybe he's only faking the "I'm really sorry" thing, but if he has any malicious intentions there's nothing really harmfull he can do having 1 massive muscular orc breathing down his neck 24/7
and about the blight thingie, here are my toughts.
on the battle for undercity, on the courtyard there were several plage catapults shooting blight everywhere, and yet, when the rebel forsaken atacked me, they steped in the blight and didn't died, or sufered any damage.
this is because the blight is not like acid, it's a gas, you have to breath it for it to do any damage, so as long as you have a gas-mask you're inmune to it, a paladin using divine shield still has to breath wich is the reason not even bolvar could save himself from the gas.
once you breath it is like it burns you from the inside, melting your face and organs, kinda like the VX poison gas.
as all gases, they are vulnerable to fire, it consumes it and makes it inhert.
there is no doubt that all sides (horde, alliance, scourge) want to use this weapon, why? because it can render entire armys into goo in a matter of seconds, not even the most powerfull spell can do that so quickly, and few plp on the world have the power to unleash such widespread destruction.
however, there is a barrier stoping all sides from using this weapon.
on the horde, there's the fact that they no longer trust the RAS; all the guards and overlords said so, in fact varimathras's replacement, named Bagor Bloodfist has this quote (I swear I'll screenshot it soon) "the warchief doesn't trust these people as well as he can trown them out".
so, they don't trust the RAS to produce and handle the stuff, and no other race in the horde has the lack of morals to touch that crap, since the blood-elves have redeemed themselves of their demonic taint, trolls no longer practice voodoo, orcs renounced demon magic and worship, and tauren have been pacifists since the dawn of time.
so, at the very least what happens in 3.3 proves that the orcs (who are the race that call the shots in the horde) passed their decree of
no more plage ever again
as for the alliance, same goes, they may want to use the stuff, but few plp have the lack of morals to actually manufacture and test the stuff.
the only posible race to do so would be the gnomes, since they are more scientific than any other race on the alliance, and their pursuit of knoledge sometimes is stronger than the few morals they hold.
that being said the gnomes simply don't have the resources to pull that off, if they had gnomer or a major research outpost somewhere that would be something else.
but all they have is 1 small section of ironforge, 1 small outpost in outland, and......... that's it.
with such a small resource they don't have what it takes to manufacture, test and weaponize the blight.
this leaves the scourge, they have the resources, they have the people, and the lack of morals to develop the plage, and as for the sample, well arthas breathed the stuff, who's to say he didn't like vomit it out for his people to bottle it and start the research?
as adamns said , it's unlikely we've seen the last of the forsaken blight, BUT one thing is for sure:
if it's used again, it will not be by the hands of the horde, as they made it clear they want no such weapon to be developed again.
but the scourge getting their hands on it...... that's quite posibe, and once icecrown citadel raid is released we'll see about that.

I see evidence of no more plage being developed, and plp placed in charge of making sure no more plage is developed.Lack of proof is not proof of lack. This should be obvious to you already.
basicaly, you want the forsaken to develop more plage, and so, when confronted with compelling evidence that they arent' you simply say "pff, they develop it in secret".
I absolutely did not say that
. Did you read what I said? I said they COULD be. That is the same thing darkton said, and you twisted his words too. That is not the same as saying they are, or that they must be. You are putting words in my mouth that I did not say; stop doing that.
so don't call me a zealot again, what I'm presenting here is not speculation, this is proof.My zealot comment was quite warranted; as was mentioned before you seem to have a pattern of doing this. None of this is proof that they stopped developing the plague; it is only proof that the Horde is cracking down on them.
That's all it's proof of.
They might have stopped developing the plague, and they might not have. What I have been saying is that there is no definitive proof that they stopped, just as there is no definitive proof that they have not stopped.

but actually, that's a crappy example >.>
Very. Russia and France (mainly) were completely !@#$ed over too.
I think of the Blight as a nuke. It's an Arms race.
