Nah not really. Fans normally make me more interested than anything! The whole high elf drama… this is created by blizzard I tell you. They don’t tell a clear enough story, sometimes their vision is not as apparent as they think it is? If the story was told a little better then everybody would have a better idea of where the high elves stand today, how many there are, where they are…
Everything could make sense. But people at blizzard say “play a blood elf if you want to play a high elf” and this is the problem. Then they add high elf skins to a void elf lol.
All the weeb characters after Pandaren started training people:
All the people making RP excuses of how they were the only human, gnome, elf, etc. in Pandaria and were named, somehow, Japanese when Pandaren are Chinese:
More or less ruined a faction for me. The whole high elf fiasco just made me not want to touch my alliance characters more than I have to for certain mounts or artifact tints because my older DK that did the legion content was Alliance and I already decked out this DK so it wouldn’t make sense to faction change.
But yeah between the two elf factions…I’ll take my one token nightborne and have the rest as monster races thank you very much. Goblins, Vulpera, Trolls, and Tauren. If my guild ever forces us to go Alliance then…just worgen and gnomes I guess.
We can, actually, but people tend to misinterpret us when we just appear.
For instance, we appeared in some CEOs bedrooms to say: “Don’t commit tax fraud,” in big, neon letters. For some reason, people question the true meaning of our presence. So, we started moving to forum posts.
I LOVED Blood Elves at the beginning of TBC, with the struggle against mana addiction and all, and the risk of becoming wretched and how survival was the key point for many of the race’s decision.
Sadly, what made Belves most interesting for me (that background) was quickly resolved by the end of the xpac.
If we’re talking NPC races, the toxicity/entitlement of many high elf and sethrak supporters has killed what interest I had in those races becoming playable. For the former, it’s been a crusade of nearly three years to either get another Alliance copy of blood elves or strip the one we already have of its identity, as well as giving us people like Joyeuse and Wanobi. For the latter, it’s crap like this:
Unsurprisingly, there’s some overlap with the anti-mechagnome cult because after the sethrak crowd thought they were owed sethrak and were going to get what they wanted, a race that actually looked like it could be an allied race came along and threatened their perceived chances, then the mechagnomes won and the sethrak crowd blamed them for robbing the sethrak of their “destiny”.
Imagine if they dedicated this much hatred to something important.
