I need to make a new hunter my first character was my hunter but I never touch it I think I need to start a new one from scratch
I donât disagree with the idea though. After all, there has been several times where Blizzard has contradicted with both groups of High and Blood Elves, where they have put for both as ânot spell-castersâ.
(Commentary): I should hope they would realize that what theyâve made is a beloved and iconic Intellectual Property, and that with every such thing, people are going to love the foundation of such. Thereâs nothing saying they cannot, or should not, make something new or add their own spin to things, but the Devs should also have respect for their game and itâs lore, and flat out ignoring or trying to twist pieces of it to forget it out of some vague sense of embarrassment for something borderline stereotypical, is flat out disrespectful to their game, as well as the fans.

Actually the model wasnât altered, just painted blue and they have plastic tentacles glued in their hair. They also are blood elves that were kicked out.

The Alliance already has two races of Elves, yet despite having far more than enough characters at 120 to stock raids and Warmode it doesnât appear to have players interested in or capable of performing well in either.
So instead of burning a new race slot on yet a third variant of Alliance Elves, and giving the game its fifth, how about giving Alliance something that more Alliance players appear to be expressing their desire for - something that might attract the kind of people the current races arenât helping to bring in.
Give the Alliance something different than they already have.

High elves are npcs in the game already though. This isnât us asking them to make up new elves out of nowhere, these are elves from their own lore that still work with the alliance in game.

I like your points, but one important point that happened with the Blood Elves is that simply by being in the vicinity of Silvermoon caused them to be tainted by the fel. Itâs not just a matter of âdo I siphon mana creatures or no.â You see these crystals all around Silvermoon. Those who were âuntaintedâ were living in EK/Hinterlands/Dalaran/Outland. And therefore, were not part of the new cultural identity of the Blood Elves. You then need to consider how not everyone is going to agree with allying up with the Horde (and the Forsaken) due to their past loyalties. This is why we still have lore about LorâThemar trying to integrate the two together.
Now, way back in WotLK/Cata (this issue was still highly talked about), my stance on the topic was that the Alliance shouldâve received a variation of High Elves that came from Outland/Terokkar led by Alleria.
But. And this is where the real issue is (which I donât think a lot of people still get) is that what we got instead was Void Elves that is more of an extension of the Blood Elf storyline rather than what was previously established in the past.
The issue here is that the Alliance fanbase want to play âloyal Allianceâ Elves and I really donât think eye color or fair skin is what people are upset about. They just want a âhaving pledged their loyalty to the Alliance since the second warâŠâ storyline. Thatâs it.

(Observation): The primary allied race request on the Alliance would actually be High Elves.

I kind of get it. I hate it when little kids are screaming at their mom to buy them candy, and she just caves. Itâs sort nice when you see spoiled kids not get what they want. I donât personally get anything out of it, but itâs satisfying all the same.

Yeah, the void elves donât really fulfill what a lot of high elf fans want. Iâd rather have high elf lore with an altered model than the belf model painted blue with stuff glued to it and lore pulled from nowhere.

Buddy most of the people that want high elves only want them because they are pretty and want to play them with their main faction.
There are people to that are like that but whatâs done is done. The race is playable whether people like it or not.
If thatâs the case then those people should be just as happy if Blizzard redid the model and added them

^^ I was waiting for that. But⊠its on brand for them. They make stuff up thats recognizable as unique to Blizzard. If I showed you ANY race in the game its recognizable as a blizzard/wow variant of a traditional fantasy race.
Wow is all about taking fantasy and adding about 10-20% of their own unique spin. Which they did to create blood elves. And what people are asking for with high elves is a 100% generic elf - the kind you can find in EVERY OTHER FANTASY GAME.
Why would anything about blizzardâs creatives tell you theyâd want to put a generic thing in their game?
(Commentary): Agreed. Sometimes spoiled nasty children need a wake-up call. Thank goodness the players arenât spoiled children, but paying customers. I like seeing devoted, loyal fans get what they want.

Nope. Elves have been around long before Blizzard was.

Itâs the same because youâre watching someone not get something they want, and you feel a sense of satisfaction from that.
Some people donât understand how another person can feel that way, but I get it.
Yes it was very disappointing blizz did that and now with mechagnomes god just how much more can they do the Alliance wrong.
If high elves getting a new model and be added is what would make the players happiest instead of new race that people have wanted then I hope thatâs what they do
