Blood elves are not high elves they specifically took on the name blood elves to honor the fallen right before they started taking in the fel. If the anti he faction actually knew anything about lore they would know blood elves would consider it deeply insulting to the sacrifices of their people to call them high elves. Of course you don’t so ignorant comments aren’t surprising.

Yes actually. Because see, Blood Elves did turn to demonic magic to keep there city together. Therefore, how else were they effected by the Fel Radiation that changed there eyes to also go green and to also glow.

You may think “oh, eyes changing isn’t really a physical change”, but the real fact is, even the smallest change is a physical change.

High elves already exist on the alliance in the Silver Covenant. and don’t exist on the horde as they were renamed blood elves to honor the fallen and would smack you up for suggesting they were high elves.

Not hard to understand
or so one would think.

Also interesting that you are fine with taking customization that were first on void elves. One might almost say that’s hypocrisy.

Because in there defence, they’re like, “The Horde has every right to what the Alliance has but the Alliance has no right to what the Horde has,” but yet, the Horde does not have what the Alliance has.

Let me try to be as clear as possible here. Let’s say there are two high elves, named Paul and George. Warcraft 2 happens and the high elven kingdom withdraws from the Alliance. George agrees with this decision and goes home to Quel’thalas. Paul, however, decides that he likes serving with the Alliance and stays with them. Warcraft 3 happens and George, having survived the invasion and the whole Garithos fiasco, becomes a blood elf on the Horde side. But Paul, having not made the same decisions as George or experiencing the same things he did, does not become a blood elf and continues serving on the Alliance side.

We are not asking for George to be playable on the Alliance side, we are asking for Paul to be playable on the Alliance side.

Good analogy!
I think most people understand this as it takes the most basic sense of wow knowledge to differentiate the sin’dorei from the quel’dorei.

 there’s those who like to pretend they don’t understand.

So Paul doesn’t go back to his people after their most dire time of need and continues living elsewhere?

Then Paul fights against his former people?

Paul sounds like a traitor. Which is fine, but they need to make that distinction. They need to explain why no high elves returned to Quelthelas after the invasion despite knowing the kingdom survived.

Paul doesn’t need to explain his life choices. He chose the alliance and if that makes him a traitor then so be it. You’re not the boss of him ThrallsmountXx!
George and Paul are both unique in their own way, and both deserve to be played.

I’d prefer if they just added an option to void elves instead of making another allied race.

The high elves of the alliance apart from the silver covenant always felt like background characters. If they added another allied race then the void elves would just get left out and under developed.

Void elves have suffered from under development since their release, which sucks and I really hope they get the spotlight at some point. But I don’t think one’s development has to be sacrificed for another to thrive.

Far different from void elves to blood elves.

Because the devs said so. Why else?

:laughing: That’s great!

Well, they are the ones who left the Alliance in the first place. It’s not his fault they didn’t lift any fingers to help with the plague situation.

Because back then fast travel wasn’t a thing for most people. Presumably all the wagon trains turned tail when their resident portable mailboxes got the memo “We joined the Horde”.

Or they never made it because of all the friggin’ monsters and oceans (which, on wooden sailing ships are dangerous to cross) in between.

Sometimes, the best reasons for something not happening are “life happens”. It’s a bit of a shame it’s not illustrated more in story telling. It adds some believability to tales.

It also adds tragedy, because it is human nature to assume fault, blame and intent for fate throwing a person a wrench. So, one side will feel justified by saying “But you never came back!” and the other side will go “We tried. It didn’t work!”, but who’s going to listen to that? It sounds like an excuse, even when it’s true.

And Nightborne are just basically Night Elves that stand differently. Yeah, that is totally different.

Have you ever seen a male nightborne and a male night elf? They don’t look anything alike LOL.
