Actually it would be the remaining High Elves that changed allegiance. The High Elves that were later the Blood Elves never swore allegiance to the Alliance, they were fulfilling an old pact, they left when the pact was done. After Arthas those that decided to go to the Alliance are the ones that left the Blood Elves.

Exactly, he drew a parallel but refused to acknowledge the different variables that set the two examples apart, and thus defeats the entire purpose of the question. Which was to try to compare the outrage of the Alliance when High Elves joined the horde, with the potential outrage the horde could feel if the goblins joined the Alliance.
The difference is the Horde never tried to commit genocide of the Goblin races. Pretty huge distinction.

The Silver Covenant is a militant faction of [high elves] led by Vereesa Windrunner. They reject the admission of blood elves into the Kirin Tor and have taken it upon themselves to serve as a military deterrent for any potential Horde uprising. During the war against the Lich King, they joined the Alliance Vanguard, along with the Explorersâ League and the main host of the [Valiance Expedition], in Northrend. They employ hippogryphs as well.

Letâs just get all the Elves everywhere and just mold them together into one huge Elf and go on an Elven rampage like Godzilla. ![:smiley:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/smiley.png?v=6" ":smiley:")

The Goblins have worked together with Gnomes on several occasions, though. Itâs happening in Mechagon right now.
What if there were a story that suggested they put aside their differences and Goblins joined Gnomes on the Alliance. Would you be all right with that?
This is the best way to remove the sword, lets go for it.
Wonder Elf powers, activate!

Basically we are emos with green contacts in.
The original, proper description, is that they oppose the blood elves and nothing more. The only one with such a description is the wow wikia.
Every other resource not subject to easy editing has nothing about horde uprising.
Which does not even make sense because Dalaran is neutral and has nothing to fear Horde uprising wise.
In either case it is a pointless argument that establishes nothing besides the fact that the high elves have one organization that does not represent them as a whole.

I suggest you apply for a refund from Acme Law Schoolâs 'How to Sound Like Perry Mason 101â course. Youâre not interested in a dialogue, youâre only interested in pinning people into a conversational corner and Iâm frankly at a loss to explain why any of them humored you as long as they did.

Who renamed themselves and changed allegiances and joined the horde. Oh Yah and exiled the Renâdorei.
It was a bad time for us man. We got emotional!

They didnât change allegiancesâŠthey left the alliance period.
The renâdorei were exiled for messing with void magic.

Exactly. Goblins are not even fragmented in two factions, thereâs numerous cartels and at this point at least one subspecies of them.
Also, Iâd said that for making that comparision, to pick the least played horde race while trying to draw parallels to the most played one seems a little shortsighted.
I wouldnât call it genocide since they only tried to murder the Bilgwater for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Still wrong, though, but the Bilgewater are not the entirety of the goblin race.
The rename happened many years before the Horde came into the picture and many years after the kingdom seceeded from the Alliance.
The ones that can be questioned why arenât they honoring their friends and family with a name are not the blood elves, though.

Working together isnât the same as liking each other. If you speak to the goblins they further this argument with things like âFinally a gnome I can stand!â when working with the Mechagnomes. The goblins literally barge into the gnome lab in Kulâtiras and murder all of the gnomes and steal their tech⊠this is not the example of them getting along. The goblins like the mechagnomes because theyâre not affiliated with the Alliance at the moment.
If the story now suggested they put aside their differences after this much conflict with the Alliance, and now their growing ties in the Horde it would make even less sense then before.

Little more to it then:
I see what you mean, and no it wasnât left out.
Not all the HIgh elves renamed themselves, but the silver covenant existed solely to oppose the sun reavers and that has been phased out essentially.
They were also active in the assault on Suramar, fighting alongside night elves for the Alliance, a very short time ago. Thereâs many high elves serving as the 7th Legionâs mages, so it can be surmised that if the Silver Covenant has been disbanded, most of them now have re-enlisted in the military and are officially part of the Alliance.
We still canât play them though because reasons lol

Why would that bother you?
Because it would make no sense?

Itâs fine if youâre upset by this, but please donât resort to silly personal attacks.
But if the story justified it, wouldnât it then make sense by the criteria of the game?
IE: If all involved parties said it was okay, would it still bother you?
