We want Quelâdorei

Gnomeâdorei, when, blizz?
Says the Dwarf when we have 3 Dwarven races in WoW.
The game differentiates between High Elves and Blood Elves and Void Elves⌠so, people saying that High Elves are already playable, are in fact wrong.
Saying that Blood Elves are High Elves is akin to saying that the Horde has playable Void Elves⌠thatâs the level of sense people are making in this thread.

No, itâs not. All elves from Quelâthalas are high elves. Blood elves and void elves are subdivisions of high elves.
That would add literally nothing new to the game.

100%. It is inevitable at this point. Whole expansion for elves.
Speak for yourself, not for others.

Thatâs absurd.
How are Blood Elves and High Elves culturally exactly the same? Because thatâs what you just said. How are they visually the same, how are they functionally the same?
Again, you people are wrong.
Also, letâs put this in terms that people can understand.
Hypothetically, a group of people from England move to the United States⌠they are now Americans. Their children are now Americans. They adopt mannerisms and a cultural identity of the region that they now live in, which is the US. This happens very quickly, and the High Elves and Blood Elves split a long, long time ago, so the cultural disparity would be SUBSTANTIALLY bigger⌠as is literally told to us in the game when you play a Blood Elf.
Blood Elves and Night Elves⌠the exact same thing, folks.

Dude what? It was like 30 years ago. Theyâre literally the same exact people, they just gave themselves a different name to honor the dead.

This is wrong, and you can read the wiki to get your answers.
It starts off by stating that they were formed in some way shape or form by the High Elves, but donât identify as such, and that not all High Elves became Blood Elves.
Again, they are Blood Elves, not High Elves.

Blood elves ARE high elves. They are the MAJORITY of the surviving high elves after Arthas destroy Quelâthalas. They named themselves blood elves as a remembrance for the fallen.
They are literally the same people.

That is wrong, they are Blood Elves. Their culture transformed, and ideologically they are radically different than what they were.

Iâm willing to bet they WONâT be playable.
Iâd rather have Druids of the Flame, Sanâlayn, and Nerubians instead.
And thatâs just to start with.

No, it didnât. Their culture is largely the same as it was.
In fact, the only significant way the culture has shifted is towards the Light and paladins in general.

So a new religion and ideology and belief system with new obligations and views on the afterlife and world etc. etc.
Not that big a deal, I guess.

High elves always believed in the Light though. They were literally the priest units in WC3. They shifted more towards the Light yes, and paladins are new.
Do you want a ânewâ race thatâs just blood elves - paladins? Because thatâs what youâre asking for.

I donât want anything, I think there are too many Elves as it is. But to assume that they arenât a new people just because they WERE something, isnât realistic. In the real world we identify a country that changes its name or government type as a new people, even if they arenât exactly. They are the Blood Elves, thatâs what they are now.
If people want their envisioned monolithic view of what a High Elf should be, then they should have that. But that isnât the Blood Elves.

No we donât. You can look at the history of any country and it will go back through numerous name changes as 1 continuous people group.
Except for when the lore still says that Blood Elves are High Elves. Even all the developers says that Blood Elves are High Elves.
