Fel exposure for Blood Elves appears to be reversibile does it not? The recent eye change proves that.

Yeah. Itâs also a different bit of cosmology. The Nightborne Wither because theyâre removed from the well of eternity.
High Elves are addicted to arcane magic because of the well of eternity and their old and children died, but for whatever reason it doesnât wither them. Or at least, it doesnât wither them fast enough. Could be that it was just a short period of time. That bits not written about. But also, I donât know if it was fully fleshed out until later anyways.
Then thereâs the wretched which is the opposite thing where they absorb too much magic and go nuts and physically change.
So⌠at the end of the day⌠Elves are magically reactive.
Once again nice try.
Nah. Please see High elves and silver covenant. Or go back and read through some posts in the past if you are new here.
I will agree they are magically reactive.

Yeah. You presented numerical evidence, without presenting all of it, to try and prove your point. Which was false.
People like allied races. Also, theyâre literally rep locked and still make up equivalent percentages of the population.
Gnomes are just the smallest elf 
Yes. But other than players, the people whose eyes have turned gold have been using the Sunwells powers a lot. Like Lady Liadrin.
The Green eyes thing will wear off eventually but it can take a really long time, since they were surrounded from and draining fel crystals when they were withdrawing.
Though, obviously, you can see what happens when you donât turn off the fel tap if you observe demon hunters or Fel Blood Elves. Because, you know, like weâve been saying, Elves are magically reactive. Theyâll change forms based on the magic they soak up.
But, at the end of the day theyâre all still Dark Trolls.
You seem to misunderstand what numbers actually represent and where they come from.
Gnomes are an abomination and therefore must be destroyed. There gnot a Gnoblin, Gnot a Gnelf either. Their a Gnome! And youâve just been⌠GNOMED!
DH, Fel Blood , and Belf Warlocks should all keep the green eyes. Anyone else should be transferring to gold and blue as the well is both. The Light is stronger but anyone whos passed gradeschool science class can tell you recessive traits still sprout. Which leads us the blue eyes for blood elves cause and another mess entirely.

Kind of goes both ways. The Blood Elf race page on the wow website said that the Naaru turned the Sunwell into a font of both Holy and Arcane power⌠and technically the Sunwellâs built on some arcane leylines.
But⌠In the cataclysm intro with Blood Elves, which is expansions after Burning Crusade, Lorâthemar is still struggling with Blood Elves that are suffering from arcane addictionâŚ
So. You know, if there is arcane in that well, itâs still not giving the Blood Elves their fix.

Oh. You had a second column. Yeah. Considering theyâre rep gated, the ARâs are doing really well.
Are you saying residents of Quelâthalas that arenât warlocks are indulging in fel objects to sate their addiction? Or these that deal with the addiction just making the best of it?
lmao what overall point are you even trying to prove anymore, itâs like your initial point got blown out as being obviously wrong so youâre spinning through the air searching desparately for a leg to stand on

You clearly donât, since youâre ignoring what is actually being said in game and lore in favor of what you âthinkâ which is headcanon. And you expect us to take your word over the game, which is even more laughable than your original theory.
You keep saying âThat doesnât matterâ whenever it doesnât suit your stance in this conversation, when it really does matter. The fact that the only example that transcends the allied race pattern was a race-trade off following the same justification for why they ended up on the other faction is testament to this. If it didnât matter they wouldnât have even bothered explaining why they chose that faction to begin with.
Youâve sat here and contradicted not only the lore in game, but the information given by the devs themselves that Iâve linked you. Youâve done nothing but sit here and give me your opinion and headcanon while telling me every source of evidence in game that proves you wrong âdoesnât matterâ
High elves joining the Alliance doesnât mean they left because of mana draining, or being exiled. That would require a citation on your part.
His words which can be found on the Wowpedia going over his interview with the internet gaming world magazine.
The high elves officially withdrew from the Alliance after the Second War under the belief that not enough troops were sent to protect QuelâThalas, and thus led to a needlessly engorged amount of slaughter and destruction. A few high elves remained under their own volition to continue serving the Alliance, but the loyalty of even these voluntary troops waned after the second sacking of QuelâThalas by Arthas â who had recently destroyed his own kingdom â to which the remnants of the Alliance of Lordaeron took no steps in intervening. Finally, with Lord Garithosâs dismissive treatment of blood elven troops and attempt to execute many blood elves for accepting boats from naga, even more fell under the sway of Kaelâthasâ new vision for his people.
It just takes fel a long time to wear off, see green orcs. Which was part of an old developer Q&A.
Iâm just saying that if the Sunwell has arcane energy in it instead of just holy, then Blood Elves shouldnât be having issues with their arcane addiction.
But they havenât talked about it for years.

A slow drip over ten thousand years that has changed their bodies, their minds, and their relationship with magic in contrast to the High and Blood elves who merely have different color eyes which weâve seen can be changed due to whichever magic theyâre exposed to. Golden eyed blood elves are not a different race from green eyed blood elves, just as blue eyed blood elves are not a different race from green eyed blood elves either.
And in every other example of an elf race changing due to magic has been through some powerful magical ritual or artifact that changed them completely, both body and mind. High elves and Blood elves though, are still identical in everything but eye color. And even then we see Blood elves with blue eyes in-game.
Nice deflect, but it sounds like youâre simply trying to overexaggerate the fel exposure. Blizzard never said it made Blood elves a different race, for the same reason golden eyes didnât make them a different race. Thatâs just YOUR headcanon.
Exactly! Even the official World of Warcraft website says Blood Elves are High Elves. Void Elves are Blood Elven outcasts, which essentially makes them High Elves as well, just a different flavor.
