Just because Light worship is not a requirement doesn’t mean no Blood Elf Paladins beyond Liadrin worship it.
See? As I said, not bait. Reasonable conclusion.
Imagine spending all your time preaching about the Light and then no one worshipping it but you, how brutal would that be?

It’s not common, but there is a few. More BE see’s the light as an end to a means and a weapon.
You’d need a source that more of them see it as a means to an end than not, or this is nothing but your speculation.

A source from after BC, every belf paladin we’ve seen since has been pro-Light.

Nope, you still way off the mark.
You can’t compare learning to pick up a sword with someone who had an entire ghost ship and made a mage that has 10,000 years of experiences quake in her boots at the sight of the “human potential”.

I don’t even think you can call Thrall a Sue post-Cata. He’s just a sad shell of a Warchief.

Maybe the mere fact that a BE don’t need to worship the light to use it? Or the fact that they are much more largely a magic society that seeks to control any form of magic they can?
Except void magic, for some reason that is taboo. (joke)
In other words, you don’t have a solid source beyond your speculation.
Didn’t you earlier dismiss something I said for not having a concrete source? Which Grabbag then gave you, by the way.

That doesn’t speak as to how many do or don’t worship it though.
I appreciate this joke.

you mean the weapon training she never had? ok!
You should read Blood of the Highborne. There’s mention of her asking Lor’themar’s men to train her.

Largely magic society, yes. Solely? Far from it. That’s why the Farstriders are also a big part of their identity.
As I said, I’m not a Liadrin fan, I think that they’ll never pull her out of her role as “Cheerleader for the Draenei”, but she is proof that sin’dorei can be devoted… I mean, didn’t she even lose her chance with the snack that is Lor’themar partially due to that?
If that ain’t devotion? I don’t know what is.

If I recall correctly, at the time of the book BE had no warriors, so wouldn’t she have been trained in archery and not the sword?
I ran out of likes on Alliance Somand for 11 hours.
It would be easier to just stick to this one now, but she doesn’t have access to the tattoos. 
From a gameplay standpoint only.
Every society has warriors.
Also, Farstriders wield blades as well as bows.
Just look at Survival Hunters. That doesn’t take into account all the NPCs who dual wield swords.

Blood elves have been noted to be a very militarised society as a result of their precarious military situation.
Blood elf warriors appeared as guards in Silvermoon from release. Also they had a version of Footman called Swordsmen in WC3 who were fighters.

And they were going to have them in TBC, until Blizzard decided to add Paladins to the Hrode via Blood Elves and had to cut a class, since there was a limit of 6 per race at the time.

and does it not take years to master the blade?
