There were three going on simultaneously this morning.
The thread spamming and some of the general attitude has made it hard to feel that sympathetic.

True. But the attitude comes from all types of people. Doesnât matter what weâd like to see or want.
I mean after all, every individual person is unique, and as the old saying goes, there is no 2 persons that are the same.

This is also true. I can only give my opinion on the topics based on my own perspectives.

Hey man, and you know what. You do good job with your opinions, because you really donât advocate any toxicity within your opinions, as I have seen from both sides. (And yes, I mean, both sides).
After all, weâre all not enemies, we all just disagree with each other opinions. In the end, weâre all part of the same gaming community that pay and play the same game

Honestly, I just never saw the point. Itâs just discussion. Itâs not even like one of us can âwinâ. I really donât believe that anything said here will make up Blizzardâs mind for them
In this case, Theyâll either add Helves, or they wonât, and if they do, itâll be on their own time/terms.
This is more of a place to discuss the game with people that also just happen to play it. Thereâs no point in being a jerk.

Sorry couldnât help it. Thought it was funny
Donât worry about it. The temptation to post âBehind Blue Eyesâ has been raging all day.
So far Iâve stayed strong.

No. Listening to people complain they donât get their wish list in a game is beyond pathetic how ever and people really need to give it up. Nothing is being taken away or anything, you looneys are crying you arenât able to bully Blizz into giving you something that they clearly donât have intentions on doing. I really donât understand how people played this game before allied races seeing the logic used by the âhigh elversâ.

Alliance arenât getting High Elves as long as Ion is in charge. You can keep asking for it, you can keep begging for it, you can keep arguing for it, but they arenât happening. If it truly upsets some people that High Elves wonât be added, cancel your sub and quit. And thatâs not me trying to be toxic and tell pro High Elf people to go away (since Iâm also pro High Elf). My suggestion to quit takes money from Blizzardâs pockets and thatâs the only thing that will ever convince them to add High Elves is if enough players quit over it. Hurt Blizzardâs wallet and theyâll capitulate. Short of that though I wouldnât expect them happen.

This is exactly how I feel about getting Void Elves over High Elves.
Itâs like⌠I go to a restaurant and order a hamburger⌠and they give me a cheeseburger instead. I mean, I donât hate the cheeseburger, and yea there is a hamburger under that cheese, but I really just wanted a regular plain old hamburger. The people at the table next to me got exactly what they ordered but my order was changed into something that isnât bad⌠but isnât what I asked for and doesnât fulfill the craving I have.
I like Void Elves. Even with the shoddy lore and âpulled out of someoneâs voidâ intro, I like them and I feel like they have potential. Sadly, based on BfAâs lack of any real Void Elf development (which they sorely needed) it seems like they will never live up to that potential.
Unlike every other allied race Void Elves had no existence or groundwork laid prior to their unlock scenario. Alleriaâs story is not the Void Elf story and it never will be unless something changes such as new void elves being trained/created using Alleriaâs process rather than trying to recreate Durzaanâs ritual. Even still, it has nothing to do with Umbric and his squad, nor does Umbricâs squad have anything to do with the Argussian Reach reputation. Without the groundwork that other allied races had prior to being playable, Void Elves needed to have extra development to make up for that shortfall. But BfA failed to deliver that.
Yes, yes, Void Elves appeared in BfA. They opened portals, banished shredders to the void, and animated dinosaur bones into hulking monstrosities. We even got to hang with Umbric through the War Campaign. Unfortunately none of that actually did anything to develop the Void Elves as a people beyond what they started out as: Blood Elf traitors who got transformed by a ritual that was interrupted before it could fully turn them into Ethereals.
The problem is that allied races arenât supposed to need the sort of development that Void Elves need. They are supposed to be races that already have all their groundwork laid prior to unlocking. They are supposed to be a faster and cheaper way to produce races for players. Void Elves already cost Blizzard more than other allied races due to Telogrus alone since they needed to make an entirely new zone for the scenario and later use it as the Void Elf starting hub.
High Elves wouldnât have had the issues Void Elves have. They have an established history with the Alliance. They wouldnât need extensive development after unlocking. Weâve seen them for over a decade on the Alliance as NPCâs, quest givers, and allies supporting us through nearly every expansion.
On top of all that, had we gotten High Elves, all these High Elf topics would have stopped. Yea the anti-'s would be a little sore but theyâd get over it. The pro-'s, on the other hand, would be happy and playing their High Elves instead of posting about them on forums because clearly, if 15 years has told us anything, the pro-'s arenât going to get over it. They are going to keep asking for High Elves until they get them or the game shuts down.
I just want my hamburger.

Honestly though, no one has ever said that High Elves are never going to be added.
Ion has said back in 2018, âThere is no plans in the near term to add High Elves, but anything is possible in the future.â

Thatâs the point, they wonât ever say they wonât be added. But can you honestly believe, at this juncture, alliance high elves are likely to happen?
Letâs take this a different route. Letâs say Ion came out tomorrow and said that as long as heâs at Blizzard, the Alliance will NEVER get High Elves. How would that make any pro Helver feel? Pretty lousy right? Even if there is no intent to add them Blizz will never come out and say it. Theyâll just keep stinging players alongâŚ

(Observation): They seem pretty comfortable saying No to a lot of things. âYou think you do, but you donât.â Famous words right there. The fact that the Devs havenât actually said no is rather telling in and of itself.
(Commentary): Also all the talk about Dragonlance Gnomes has given me a desire to give Exacitor here a Life Quest inherited from his great, great, great grandfather. Just not sure what it should beâŚ

See, the thing is, people are all too easy to give up on something. Now lets say with the possible time skip after Shadowlands, and Ion said, âHigh Elves will be made playable for the Alliance playerbase.â
You think it is wise to give up quickly because of Ion saying, âthere are no plans in the near term, but anything is possible in the future?â
Eventually, High Elves will be added for the Alliance. And no thread, no anti, or no dev, is going to kill my hope in seeing them become playable for the Alliance. And this, is coming from an Ex-Anti.

Their statement was extremely accurate, unlike many of yours.
Easy for horde players to say pretty much every major wishlist item outside ogres has been fulfilled and itâs likely they use the KT rig to the give the horde ogres.
No bone undead straightbacked orcs and trolls. Non corrupted orcs, nightborne, vulpera etc.

I was wrong to lose faith. You were, in fact, correct and I was wrong to doubt. Lesson learned and thanks for keeping the faith Sarallesta!
