Blizzard...the only company that happily tells their customers NO

its science. an elf is an elf

do humans who consume alcohol become genetically different from someone who doesnt drink? :smile:

Options are happiness. That’s what I wish they would reason to. The consequence of removing options has been a disaster. Taking away ML, taking away flight, taking away most everything off the GCD, taking away rep tabards, taking away class abilities, etc.

First you say I’m incorrect, but then turn around and say what I’ve been saying all along. You seem severely confused.

LOL! NO. No one is looking for the word “population”. NO ONE says “Thrall is a different population than Baine is!”

It is when you’re describing the difference between US and Australian population’s.

But they would say Thrall is a different Species to Baine. :wink:

I stopped reading when the bold text of “HIGH ELVES” caught my attention.
This is another High Elf thread in disguise. YOU WONT FOOL ME THIS TIME. I’M ONTO YOU.

Yes, because he is a different species than Baine. Why do you keep confusing species with race, though?

Race is a perfectly valid descriptor for them already. Because that’s what the “race” descriptor is: A way to categorize groups of people.

It’s not even “no”, it’s all but explicitly telling us to shut up, sit and spin. (Because the real phrase it reads as would get me a nice forum vacation…)

The condescension is disgusting.

You are average… what a promising life you must lead… egads, I don’t think I have ever read a post from someone who not only claims to be average, but relishes the idea of being mediocre. Hooray for you if you are happy with being average…

Your disdain for Brie Larson seems fishy… did she not sign your autograph? Pee in your oatmeal? Steal your award for best Average person in a non-starting role in a community college play?

Another HE post, move along people

Well maybe you didn’t read my post. It’s not a valid way to categorize people, and I explained extensively on why that is. If you dislike reading, that’s not on me.

Seriously, you are really weird… One of those actresses has won an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, a BAFTA award, Screen Actors Guild award, a critics choice award, and an independent spirit award.

And that actress was NOT in the Elektra movie…

You should really take a deep long hard look at your taste and understanding of what makes “good” acting… you clearly have ZERO idea if you think Jennifer Garner can act comparatively better than Brie Larson.

LOL… she must have really hurt you some how (unless you are one of those poor, misunderstood white males who thinks women should just shut up and make you a sandwich).

tbf garner has alias which is better then anything larson has put out so far COMBINED

I think it’s rediculous how they can blatantly ignore complaints and even continue creating content based on our complaints. “Fire mages are too overpowered in pvp” … next patch “we’ve nerfed every class other then fire mages.”

ok… we get it, you have the power to give us a worse experience with the money that we spend on this game… yeah, we get it. just shady you choose that path is what we’re complaining about…

No. You rambled on about how you think that “race” is a biological descriptor and shouldn’t be used for that. I have made it quite clear that it is not a biological descriptor. You keep bringing up biology as if it has any actual validity to the argument.

And YET your ORIGINAL argument was that, and this is a direct quote “They are literally the same race, just with different political affiliations.” Funny thing is that their DIFFERENT POLITICAL AFFILIATIONS is one of the things that DOES make them a DIFFERENT RACE.

You can’t argue that “race isn’t a valid descriptor!” after you already argued that two groups are the same race. Well, I guess you can. That kinda makes your arguments fall flat, but go ahead.

I don’t how many companies you do business with. I get told no all the time. To this day, Wendy’s still refuses to sell me a 20 stack baconator. Friggin’ savages.

The entire time you were arguing how Blood Elves and High Elves look differently, let’s quote you now:

You made it clear it’s not a biological descriptor whilst continually arguing about their minute biological differences? - that was your argument buddy, not mine. I was merely showing you how it’s faulty logic to think that having blue eyes to green makes someone a different race.

It isn’t a valid descriptor.

I wasn’t arguing that, I meant that they are the same species, fair enough I get where you are confused now.

I’m sorry, are you all there in the head? I was answering YOUR QUESTION. Yes, eye color is one of the physical characteristics that differentiate High Elves from Blood Elves. That makes it easy to tell the two groups apart.

So, yes, physical characteristics can be used to differentiate one race from another, but it is not scientific. In fact, the change in eye color wasn’t biological, it was magical. And it has absolutely nothing to do with genetic markers or, in fact, genes at all, aside from the outward appearance. But even then, two people from different races could easily look like each other.

You. Do. Not. Understand. The. Concept. Of. Race.

riiiiighhhhhttttt… something tells me Brie Larson has been hurting white single pseudo alpha males for quite some time…

First of all- all companies tell their customers no, all the time.

If I phone up an all vegan food company demanding they make me bacon, they’ll tell me no.

If I demand lower premiums from my insurance company cuz I don’t like paying more money, they tell me no.

If I demand GRR Martin not kill off Ned, he’s going to tell me no.

Some of the best stories, the best parts of stories involve doing something that fans DO NOT want. Ned in GoT, Kamina in Gurren Lagann, Dumbledore, etc…

You’re also making the mistake of assuming that everyone wants the same thing. Frankly- we’ve already had flight, and when we do there’s people that hate it. Blizz also has explained why they stagger it- people skip content, it cheapens world pvp, it cheapens the experience in general, it changes entirely your viewpoint on the game.

We already have high elves- twice now, with belfs and velfs.

You speak of huge sources of revenue and correlation, but Cata saw the first major drop in subs after growing popularity from Vanilla to when subs peaked at the end of WotLK…

So let’s talk Cata. Did no flight kill Cata? No, Cata actually brought flight to virtually every part of the map (other than the draenei/belf starting zones), if your theory is correct Cata should have ‘brought in huge sources of revenue’, per your words- instead, it floundered and was poorly received by players.

Did no pvp vendors kill Cata? Again, no- it had pvp vendors, and other token vendors too…

Yet, WotLK peaked at 12M subs, and it did so at the end of the xpac, something that we don’t see any more. Cata ended with 9M.

So the xpac with the most flight, with pvp vendors- didn’t as you say ‘bring in huge revenue’- it actually killed a quarter of the playerbase.

From the looks of it, Blizz made the right choice.
