That would explain why the effects of Greenwrath specifically do not show up in 2.0 (though you do experience threat of it in the WHM story), as this is something that only happens occasionally.

Not useless!
This article seems to talk about the Woodwrath, but it's suggested that, if affected, you can actually get back in the good graces of the Elemental through ritual dance.  That seems to differ from the Greenwrath, which has no recourse - you're basically fucked.  And what I remember of the quests, they were using Greenwrath on the micro and macro level.
It's entirely possible, though, that it's a localization issue and someone didn't translate the wording correctly. Â Which, of course, would make the situation with the poor guy from Ala Mhigo who may have been a target of the Greenwrath even worse. Â Because the Gridanians could have actually helped him, but would have refused to do so (unlike with the Greenwrath where there was really nothing they could do to alleviate it other than say "get out").
Then again, I don't remember them explicitly saying he was a target of the Greenwrath. Â If he had been, they wouldn't have let him back in Quarrymill, and they didn't even expel him from it - they just refused to offer aid to the Ala Mhigans for unexplained reasons (possibly xenophobia).
