They never wanted to join the Horde. They kept trying to join the Alliance but Garithos refused to allow them to join and even after his death, many loyal to him still remained within the Alliance so the Blood Elves never joined.
Garithos has been dead for over 20 years in the lore. Plus, Garrosh and Sylvanas made Garithos look like a saint.
They really have no excuse.
I guess they just enjoy working alongside monsters inside of an ugly wasteland “city”, which is not appropriate behaviour for a descendant/off-shoot group of the mighty Highborne Empire.
Making deals with monsters, allowing the trolls into their own city, their Highborne ancestors are turning in their graves.
Bro you literally work alongside talking cows and foxes. What are you talking about? They are literally walking food, and they will be the first to go down during a zombie apocalypse/famine.
Considering they tried being alliance till the racism towards them by Garithos and his men nearly wiped them out… they didn’t exactly have a choice. Then they tried to swap sides in Mists till Jaina snapped and began beating them up and locking them in jail for being forced to obey blood thirsty Garrosh in his bloody campaign. The alliance has blood elves among them though…they’re just tinged with void magic and they’re sure to get even if more Alliance do what Garithos did to their former kin. Now humans on the other hand… what about their shame… OP coming in here trying to shame the BE for being Horde when it was a fellow human and his bigotry that caused that. For shame lol
I forgot which, but back in MoP they were either considering leaving the horde to join the alliance or were strongly considering it. But didn’t because of some reason, maybe it was Jaina, i can’t recall that either.
