That should have been all.
Ok. Still doesnât narrow it down? I mean, youâre a DH so I expect little in the form of courtesy.
They arenât High Elves because they changed their name and âHighâ was always a name.
Theyâre withered because the Kaldorei Highborne who were exiled became smaller and pink because they werenât near the well of eternity. Then they made the Sunwell, which kept them in their current, pink, shorter form.
Blood Elves "Wereâ High Elves but they arenât High Elves because High Elves was just a name.
Theyâre âDoreiâ or, âThe People.â
Dathâremar, the leader of the Highborne, definitely turns into a High Elf in his lifespan. But he was a Kaldorei.
Itâs just a name change.
As such. Blood Elves, being a name change, means theyâre no longer High Elves. They also donât like being called High Elves. Because theyâre Blood Elves. Which was a movement. The people who were into the High Elf stuff got exiled to Quelâlithian Lodge.
And, once again⌠because itâs names of groups and not actual groups, a performative action, like saying, âIâm a Blood Elfâ makes you a Blood Elf. Theyâre not High Elves anymore.
If they said, âIâm a High Elfâ thatâd make them part of a different group and theyâd likely be considered traitors.

Uh no, elves get smaller the more magic they use.
The time bit is meaningless. All wow evolution is based on magical changes and this can happen quickly, Renâdorei, Falâdorei.
Arbitrary year counts donât matter⌠and once again, if they did matter, thatâs not enough time. Sure, insects can evolve rapidly, but most creatures do not.
That was due to a magical artifact actually.
So, the absence of magic causes them to radically evolve by staying completely the same? Instead of becoming ghouls?
Did you forget the VEâs are a crack squad of scholars?
High Elves have 3 distinct groups (Dalarani, Allerian and Highvale) plus all the scattered ones.
And you are telling me VEâs are more. Sure Jan.
The Silver Covenant has appeared since 2008 (Wotlk, Cata, MoP, Legion)
Name one Horde non playable faction with the same distinction.
Dalaran and Highvale have their won distinct HE communities. One that has merged with humans, other that has kept to seclusion. The Allerian are hardened soldiers living 20 years with the alliance in another world. Another community on their own.
Really, if you find High Elves âquite boringâ it has been made clear itâs a you problem, And again, you inability to comprehend somethingâs appeal is not our fault.
"the remnants of a people (that now is part of the enemy faction) assimilated into another culture yet trying to hold to a unique identity" is quite interesting to some of us; Itâs really not my fault if you canât see that.

You appear to be correct.

Insert pic of Robert Downey Jr. rolling his eyes here.
Not asking for âracialâ changes to make them not high elves.
Just would like to see a stance/idle change, tattoos and some different hair styles. A difference in culture as well through heritage armor.
If thats true then we should be seeing dwarf sized alliance High Elves. Sure would make them distinguishable.
In those examples of âinstantâ transformation it was always in response to some powerful ritual or powerful magical event that changed them. And in addition to these examples these âvariationsâ of elf all have drastically different visual features that place them apart from their original counterparts.
Youâre trying to compare these examples with Blood Elves who were simply exposed to small amounts of radiation from Fel crystals in their city which just sounds absurd.
I love that numerous people can be telling you the exact same thing and you still refuse to see it from any other perspective than your own. And with such a flimsy argument to boot.
So you want Blood Elves. But you donât want to play Horde?

Nope. Iâm not ignoring anything. I just know how wow evolution and cosmology works.
That doesnât matter. Also, itâs always pointless to argue from a limited set of information anyways. The way Allied Races have been implemented in the past, doesnât mean its the way theyâll be implemented in the future.
So youâre reaching and youâre reaching when it doesnât matter.
My âtheoriesâ and âHeadcanonâ are the lore. Sorry. Read some novels. Get World of Warcraft chronicles.
The old WoW encyclopedia talks about High Elves joining the alliance. Where do you think they came from? Quelâlithian Lodge is certainly one of those locations.
Well. That contradicts WoW chronicles, the encyclopedia, the novels, etc and Iâd like to see your citation.

You just want Blood Elves, but with tats and a changed idle animation. How droll, blood elves should get those details.
âThe time bit is meaninglessâ
Yet one of the largest narrative points of the Nightborne was that they were slowly changed by a Nightwell over ten thousand years.
Nightborne change because of the power of the NIghtwell. Just happens to be a slow drip.
The only things that change naturally are void creatures.
Every other race in WoW that has ever had any changes is because of magic. Whether it be the curse of the flesh, or blessings of loa or cenarius.
And, like every other anti, youâre trying to downplay fel exposure. Sorry. Same stuff. Still wow cosmology.

No, a bunch of Elves that were called High Elves and now are called Blood Elves live there.
How do you not get that the name âHigh Elfâ is as self denominational as âBlood Elfâ?
Racially they are Elves.

ok man.
1: I said customization has been a failure
2: one of you RPers asked for a citation
3: i presented facts specific to ARâs
Sorry youâre wrong but youâre wrong. ARâs did not drive subs. ARâs are not popular. You might like them. But numbers are numbers. I wish we could see the breakdown of gender on races because Iâm sure the pretty factor would be even more stronger biased towards women. Even looking at those numbers in a siloâŚpretty>>>>>>fat humans.
I really hope you figure out a way to play world of paper dolls in a way that satisfies yourâŚumâŚproclivities and good luck with your campaign of tears. Iâm going to keep my fingers crossed that they move towards a rich fantasy world built around diversity. Not beauty pageants .
