Lol we dont have to try to make you look like a bad guy.
Thats your faction identity!
Ugh, parts of this argument are getting to feel a bitâŠrp-y.

Difference is, I played this toon on Horde. High Elves were added to the Horde. That person cannot enjoy the game play of something that was never there, but is now being slowly added and more and more demanded.
Except that blood elves were never high elves. They were traitors to the high elves, and were drug addled murderers who followed another traitor. That IS the lore.

In a Story such as Alliance VS Horde. Who is the bad guy? Each side is trying to do what is best for itself and believes they are the good guy.

Purely for flavor. It helps people RP as that particular race without burning a race slot or forcing the devs to come up with and balance new racials.
But again Iâll make it clear this is not something I am asking for. It was just a flight of fancy that came to mind when I read the original post of this thread.
Yes, they were added to the Horde, because you really needed it. People didnât like the way all the Horde races look like, because none of them were âprettyâ in a sense.
Not saying no one wants to play an Orc or an Undead⊠but you get the point.

Okay⊠thatâs not lore⊠Thatâs an interpretation of lore, but itâs not the really like the truth.
However, they werenât added in like say a race of Void Elves. They were added with meaning and story.
brb, going for fresh air break
Fine Ima yeller anyway!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
My only issue is the worry that I have about taking focus off the actual race.
Like being able to rp a high elf using blood/void elf because of some extra character customization is fine, but at the end of the day Iâm still going to side with the fact that they arenât high elf races and the racials and themes of the class shouldnât really reflect high elf stuff beyond that customization. If that makes sense.
Literally the horde are the bad guys⊠BfA kinda cemented that.

Dude people who argue like they are actually on the Alliance/Horde are the most interesting people on this forum 
The rabid tone these forums take to anything even remotely related to High Elves is getting embarrassing. Personally, I never cared about High Elves and I doubt Iâll be making much use of the natural skin options but they were added and thatâs that. Accept it.
I think it makes sense to add some amount of racial customization to the races that have the option to appear as a sub-race. I mean, canât Zandalari already choose from a set of racials? Iâd throw in humans, trolls and maghar orcs. And maybe tauren? I donât play horde but I think the player model can be from different tribes?

It is all but certain high elves will remain part of WoW lore, and generally speaking part of WoW lore that sides with the Alliance. Mechanognomes/gnomes dont necessarily step on each other toes and can and will continue to live side by side, the high elves/void elves will end doing the same.
Forum bias. Nothing new here, everyone here thinks they are serving some rightful answer.
Yes, this includes me.
This isnât apples to oranges. Mechagnomes and gnomes are two seperate races that actually exist.
The WH and BB dwarves isnât even a good comparison because Blizzard has stated that Dwarf race encompasses the two.
I like the new looks that let you rp as a helf.
But, Youâre speculating based of your own interpretations. Until blizzard says something all we have is people asking for even more customization to make an existing race look more like a not existing (as a player character race) race that they actually want to play.
Also, Iâve never said anything about high elves not being a part of wow lore. Donât put that on me. I just said they arenât a playable race except for head canon until such time that blizzard writes them into a playable race or gives them one.
Thatâs something the devs would have to decide. Which race the devs focus on in game isnât something we have any control over. Itâs not something I believe weâll ever have to be concerned with though. My little flight of fancy is not something I think the devs would ever actually do.
Feeling like youâre right is one thing, but arguing like your actually an alliance (or horde) member and attacking someoneâs argument because theyâre on the âother sideâ is wild.
I agree, but when you see threads like âChange void elf name and give em paladinâ I can see why youâd get exasperated. xD
