Okay this is the one thing I don't get when people are all Hydaelyn is bad/evil. When have we been shown that she's shady or done a Tataru evil lalafell grin behind our backs? Yes that grin made me stop fully loving and trusting Tataru. I mean we just helped her out while she went clamming. We say goodbye and both of us start walking away but she stops turns to look at us and gives us that creepy lalafell only grin. In that instant I was all ok she's tottally going to backstab us at some point. Though I want to say that was the moment she got her idea for the outfit she gets three people to tackle us so she can get our measurements, but still I haven't fully trusted her since then.

Now nowhere have I seen anything like that grin scene or something even less subtle when it comes to Hydaelyn. I'm not a legacy player so i don't know of every instance of her talking to us, but from what I know of her and her MO she comes off as a loving parent that just wants her children to live happy lives. Unfortunately she's had to deal with three guys who go out and recruit and or temper ten other people who's sole goal is to cause chaos just so they can ultimately try and get some of their friends back from maybe even the first few seconds post sundering.
