4 Human races, 4 Elven

Why do people complain about Blizzard putting too many Elves in the game? I’ve seen such complaints and I wonder why…

I mean it’s not like Elves in general are not an awesome concept of race and civilization (be them from Arda/LOTR, WarCraft, Warhammer, TES, you name it!)

It’s true there are 4 sub-races of Elves in the game now (Night Elves, Blood Elves, Void Elves and Nightborne, ofc) but…

There were already 3 Human races in the game, and the fourth is being added, too!

Stormwind Humans (regular ones)
Lordaeron Humans (Undead/Forsaken)
Gilnean Humans (shapeshifted Worgen)
Kul Tiran Humans (kick-a*s fat sailors >.<)

So in all honesty, it’s pretty balanced, and it’s nice to have twice as many Elves as there are Dwarves, Orcs, Tauren or Trolls; Blizzard’s fiction has always revolved around the eternal themes of Night & High Elves (of which the other 2 are offshots, after all).

Says the most ham-fisted race in the game.

There are too many humans and too many elves. You all need to go.

Except for the Kul Tirans. You can stay.
