High Elf Allied Race Megathread (Continuation)

[Markwachassa-dalaran]

Ok i get that you don’t want High Elves as an playable race and agree with the antis, otherwise i would see you trying to argue against their points.

[Muir-kelthuzad]

What makes you think a community of people against high elves would accept different hair styles and tattoos that could easily be apart of the Blood Elves as viable differentiation?

Because they’ve had to come to accept by now that the different non-tentacle hairstyles and facial hair for Void Elves will never go to Blood Elves. Even though some have made posts wishing it were so.

See it’s not hard to break that sort of argument when it already exists in-game for many things. Org Orc players also wanted Mag’hairstyles. They’re not getting those.

Because the point of these different options is to accentuate the differences that do exist. Hence Dark Irons for instance gaining customization they didn’t have before (but made sense) such as tattoos and flame-wicked beards.

[Avarie-farstriders]

I am okay with more than just blue eyes. I want purple. So you think those who oppose it do so because they will miss out on customization they feel entitled to?

As a night elf who is thoroughly jealous of nightborne hair, earing, and tattoo options, I think they will survive. Pretty much any allied race creates options that the existing base races can’t use.

If more options for blood elves is what they want they should create a thread to ask for it instead of trying to deny others a race just because they might want some of the customization.

First of all, you’re assuming I have no issue with void elves.

And apparently your experience in the game it’s doing just as fine as before the Void Elves were implemented as you seem satisfied enough to have a sub to post in the forums. I imagine High Elves wouldn’t ruin and make it worse either.

Wheres my strawman so far Alamara?

High Elf Allied Race Megathread (Continuation)

This kind of shoots yourself in the foot. Oh ok, i said random thought because they could. I wasnt actually suggesting it. But thanks for throwing me under the bus. And you guys wonder why I dont act civil to you.

Half your replies to me are ignoring the main point of something I said while putting emphasis in some play of the words.

Now this is an even handed and entirely fair post.

[Markwachassa-dalaran]

Things endangered by playable High Elves:

Feelings of exclusivity of some players.

Sorry, false advertising, it’s actually just one thing.

[Bourbonboxer-lightbringer (Bourbonboxer)]

Literally they could be added tomorrow and id play one.

i would see you trying to argue against their points.

“If i dont see it, it must not be true”

Half your replies to me are ignoring the main point of something I said while putting emphasis in some play of the words.

Because its broke your argument, and made you sound hypocritical.

[Markwachassa-dalaran]

Pretty sure it wasn’t a pro High Elf that said to me “Your feelings are irrelevant”, but what is the grudge against High Elves based of if not around personal feelings?

[Bourbonboxer-lightbringer (Bourbonboxer)]

Pretty sure it wasn’t a pro High Elf that said to me “Your feelings are irrelevant”,

Because your feelings are irrelevant to me. I want your logic, not your emotion

[Markwachassa-dalaran]

It wasn’t you actually. Neither my post was a response to your point. Jeez…

[Bourbonboxer-lightbringer (Bourbonboxer)]

Its hard to tell since you did a random clap back at me.

[Markwachassa-dalaran]

I want your logic, not your emotion

Cool, when you are going to argue against antis using their endangered feelings of Blood Elf exclusivity as an argument against High Elves?

[Bourbonboxer-lightbringer (Bourbonboxer)]

antis using their endangered feelings of Blood Elf exclusivity as an argument against High Elves?

If race exclusivity didnt matter, then why have factions?

[Broflake-illidan]

I want tattoos for all the races honestly. I think blood elves and high elves should both get tattoos, and not just limited to blue and red. Gold glowing tattoos on a blood elf would look pretty awesome.

I would be fine with it. Like I said, it is not that I am against the appearance of a high elf. If anything, I would be against changing them drastically, but I am against them being playable. It is why I don’t argue about appearances until someone claims erroneously they are a different race.

I am speaking only for myself. Reading comprehension would do you some good.

You’re making an assumption of the motivations and ideals behind someone who is against high elves being playable. You are speaking for them. You can paint it one way or you can paint it the other and it is still the same.

[Muir-kelthuzad]

Literally they could be added tomorrow and id play one.

Literally everyone in this thread and anti-thread would play one I’m sure. They’d just be Tsundere about it, but as we see most often: people that love elves play elves.

[Bourbonboxer-lightbringer (Bourbonboxer)]

Literally everyone in this thread and anti-thread would play one I’m sure.

Debateable. You cant speak for everyone.

[Markwachassa-dalaran]

As the discussion goes on to the ground, i have to bring back the best concept in game develop philosophy:

The more options, the better.

I rather rally in favor of more options of races to play than nothing. But there are people that rally in favor of nothing with the ridiculous excuse that it hurt their feelings.

I will be back when the thread is a better place for brainstorming ideas and concepts in favor of more options.

[Alamara-goldrinn (Alamara)]

hypocritical

Hypocritical is to raise speculation on a subject, then when replied with another speculation you dismiss it because “we know nothing of the subject”.

And you actually missed the whole point of my post, while claiming I debunked myself.

[Muir-kelthuzad]

Nah, it just sounds like, what did you call it? Flame bait? Gaslight? Funny to see from someone telling others not to do it.
