High Elf Love Thread! 🄰

Yea, it is kinda obvious that it is a double standard and a weak argument. Of course I’ve noticed there are a ton of weak arguments coming from the ā€œAntiā€ ā€œSideā€ sadly.

Orcs already exist in the horde so the horde got the other colors, just like how high elves are already playable on horde so we got the customization to display it.

Not hard to understand…or so one would think.

name them please

Sorry but I’ll pass on that rabbit-hole. We don’t wanna be here all night do we?

:thinking:

i got all night actually

Yeah I would have preferred high elves with their own lore and an altered or new model over blue blood elves with tentacles. It’s still what I am hoping for but we’ll see. I loathe the racial that turns you even bluer too so I doubt I’d be able to play one with just human skin tones.

Since nightborne are similar in theme to blood elves I want high elves to go more nature based like night elves, maybe get druids or shaman or something.

Yeah I get it. I’m not a fan of void elves either for multiple reasons, but the pink skin thing is what Blizzard would call a ā€œcompromiseā€ and they love those. I’ve also heard a lot of people would be on board with void elves getting an out of combat form like worgen have, since Alleria can do it for some reason and nobody else can.

High elf druids would be interesting.

Here’s hoping they don’t try another compromise and just do high elves right!

I’d love to be a helf druid. After I am done with my current homework assignments I plan to start a painting of one. Seems like I won’t have summer classes this year so I’ll have the time.

One of the last things blood elf players want. I kind of want to see High Elves get added just so we can do this. The detractors for the High Elf supporters would be so happy about it I bet.

Well that is one good thing coming out of all this. We all have more free time for things we enjoy lol

Personally I’d kill to see nightborne druids, I saw a concept of them on reddit awhile back and it was pretty sick.

Honestly that’s where I’m at now. I don’t really care about high elves either way, I probably wouldn’t play one, but it would simultaneously make a lot of people happy and a lot of people angry, and I’d be totally here for it. The rage over the high elf fans getting what they want would be incredible.

I just want to make a high elf for the kirin’tor transmog from 25 man ulduar. I probably wouldn’t touch her after that though.
I currently have the red version (10 man ulduar) on my blood elf mage.

I have the 25 ulduar version on my void elf but you can see the purple hair on top and it just throws me off.

There’s a lot of blue pvp mogs that would look really nice on a high elf too.

I’m kinda nuts when it comes to race specific mogs. I saw a human rogue the other day wearing a night elf druid-looking mog with leaves and stuff the other day and I died a little.

The whole issue being that blood elf players don’t have to play high elves if they don’t like them.
I respect people not wanting them, and I really wouldn’t main one either way, but being angry over someone playing a high elf seems a little extreme.

Then you’d have people celebrating and the detractors would claim that High Elf fans are mocking them and destroying their ā€œfaction identityā€. It would be a glorious sight to see the tables turn like that.

At this point I genuinely think they couldn’t possibly care any less if high elves were actually added, they just don’t want high elf fans to get what they want.

Right? It’s petty but man I would love it.

It is but you reap what you sow, they’ve faced a considerable amount of trolling ect for just wanting a race. I can see ā€œvoicing our opinionā€ as a thing but most of it is just pointless mocking and trolling when they could you know, just not engage in the High Elf supporter threads?

Some of the people opposed can be fun to talk to. Since the datamining though, some people have been really over the top. It sucks to see it.

I’ll shoot you if it’ll help?
