You realize I’m just asking for black and brown skin color… not asking for black hair styles or features on blood elves because they’re blood elves.

And hes asking for Asian Features and color spectrums. But we already know the reason why you exclude this notion immediately.

not a bad idea. only humans have asian features in retail. belfs would look cool with them
Asking for dark skin on dwarves isn’t asking for 'black people features"
I’m not asking for blood elves to be black, Asian, European you trog
it’s not happening we have retail for tons of customization

I think you are starting to get it. Fantasy Races follow the rules of the race that was created, not the rules of 21st century humans.
“he” refers to the person who were replying to. “you” refers to you…the person I’m replying to…the one who is ok with asking for blood elves to be black, but refuse all other racial customizations to blood elves because
1-2 skin colors aren’t tons of customizations…
Except my entire OP was me not even comparing them to humans but the fact that the darker skin color fits the sun fire elves theme better.
1-2 skin colors? blood elves have multiple skin colors including black. in retail.
Oh?
Sun = Dark Skin is a human racial interaction.
Sun = Bright and Light is an elf racial interaction.
Yes, exceptions can exist but this is basically the core for simplicity sake.

Wrong.
Altmer live in sun and have bronze, gold skin.
Sun fire elves from the dragon prince mythos have brown skin.
It makes more sense… you know who has white pale skin? Falmer,maomer… you know elves that get no sun.
You’re also saying this like blood elves glow, they don’t… they’re not Lightforged Draenei.
We see a race that glows in radiant light and it isn’t blood elves.
This reliance on fel magic causes the eyes of blood elves to glow green. This readily available source of energy also tends to give blood elves a ruddier or paler look compared to their quel’dorei cousins. However, his or her hair and skin is much paler than that of a high elf, their eyes glint with a green light, and they wear blood-red robes.
Sun Fire Elves existed after TBC due to the effects of the Sunwell being cleansed. Adding allied races that existed quite literally after TBC ended for lore reasons involving TBC makes no sense.

Umm the dark skin option for blood elves in retail don’t have this reason.
They were added because they simply always existed just weren’t represented… like more than just jungle trolls being on the Horde or Wildhammer dwarves on the alliance.
Glad none of this has anything to do with WoW’s Lore, such that it is.
Blood Elves stand in contrast to Night Elves, light themes vs dark themes. They literally venerate the sun and moon respectively. If you want your inclusivity options, go play Retail.

Seeing the responses in this thread sort of adds context to all the white supremacists in the in game chat I’ve been seeing.
thank you
also this is about TBC where we learn about blood elves’ addiction to magic. in the wiki it says that blood elves are pale because of magic addiction.
this has nothing to do with muh representation of different skin tones because humans in classic can have dark skin, because they’re human with logical characteristics, not magical creatures like elves.
this topic should be removed lol
also no changes thanks
yeah people discussing lore=white supremacists 
i haven’t seen an actual racist post on this thread yet
Is the white supremacist in the room with you right now?
