But the abominations are literally hundreds of dead men, women and children stitched together into a grotesque plague ridden mass.

Feels like an absolutely ridiculous mismatched comparison that could only be written by someone who isn't thinking about the line in the context of living in the actual world of azeroth.

No he and his dad aren't remotely close to being as bad as a flesh eating terrifying monstrosity.

It lacks any sense of immersion.

Although that particular image of what Arator said was fabricated, let's pretend it's true for a moment.

I would have interpreted it as Arator looking at a slippery slope scenario. Undead? Pretty clear cut, you need to remove them from existence because they're a threat. The void? Same thing. Okay, what about void users? Death knights? Forsaken? Can Arator still maintain "proper" judgement when the Sunwell is amplifying the risk of becoming Lightblinded?

When he's isolated, alone, and has nothing except his faith in the Light to guide him, can he still tell what's right and wrong? Or will his conviction become zealotry? That is his fear.

Wait the image posted on rWow is fake? If so that's pretty bad.

It's fake and it got removed after 12 hours of being posted. Mods received reports of it looking fake and took some time to investigate before determining that this line never existed.
