High elves stopped being alliance post WC 2, before WoW was ever released.

No I am not.
Hereâs what you said:
â Yes, much like the vast majority of the elves of Quelâthelas were killed by an Alliance prince gone rogue. And then lost even more to those that went over with Kael to join the Night Elf Illidan. And they are already a playable race. Alliance high elves would be like the horde getting a splinter group of Draenei upset that they crashed into another crazy planet .â
You are saying that alliance high elves would be like horde getting a splintered group of draenei.
This is wrong. Why? Because were talking about high elves that are already alligned with the alliance. Thatâs not comparable to a hypothetical group of draenei that are hypothetically horde.

And in WC3 Tauren and Darkspear were on the edge of extinction. How many gnomes survived the mess with Gnomer? it feels like almost all the core races have bounced back from near extinction, Iâm not sure how the draenei rank in apparent population anymore. I feel like the only thing we can go by is how the story treats them, Draenei are one large group, like most of the other races, ARs tend to be same faction subgroups (DID, LFD, Magâhar, HMT etc) and the elf swap, and even with the swapped race they were presented as a solid group, high elves are a mish mash of small groups with varying allegiances.
The only high elf group that can be claimed as alliance aiding is the silver covenant, a group that existed since wotlk.
Prior to that, high elves varied in allegiance.
If youâre gona make a simile of anything based off anything to support your stance, you just have nothing to say.
I could say high elves being playable would be like apples going into my apple pie. There you go, I made a random comparison.
What exactly does that have to do with high elves? Nothing.
Stop.

I know you are addressing someone else but speaking of bad acting Tarrok (the guy you are defending) is arguing for people to quit being petty but ignores all of my points and then replies with a snarky e-card. LOL. Câmon.
Population numbers is no longer a valid reason to deny High Elves to Alliance players given that void elves are a small splinter faction of Blood Elves who are already a faction with extremely low population numbers, as per lore.
To further solidify that point, Draenei have low pop numbers as well yet we managed to have TWO Draenei factions - the original and the Lightforged.

Wrong. They were unaffiliated.
Except this is wrong.
High elves are still alliance, and saying this is just being ignorant to facts shown to us in game and in the lore.

So somiles of âfast like a cheetahâ are not acceptable because humans are not fast like a cheetah.
Gotcha.
Triple down on the bad acting.
Youâre just putting you foot in your mouth now.
Stop being outrageous for the sake of being outrageous.

Not true.
Even in classic WoW, High Elves were friendly towards Alliance characters and hostile to Horde - QuelâDanil Lodge being an example.
In TBC thereâs actual High Elves enclaves that were part of the Alliance of Lordaeronâs army that crossed into Outland in WC2: Beyond the Dark Portal. Allerian Hold? Numerous High Elves there.

Heâs clearly speaking so obviously he hasnât put his foot in his mouth, so you obviously have nothing to support your argument and have nothing to say.
Am I doing this right?

That is literally ehat the story states.
King Anastarian formally withdrew quel thalas from the alliance, and the mass majority of high elves returned to their home.
Thus, the high elves officially stopped being alliance post WC 2.
After that, the high elves the alliance encounters vary from neutral to friendly, with horde encountering high elves who are neutral, friendly, or hostile.
The encyclopedia which was released also states high elves had no defined alliance to anyone, and are a fractured group.
This remained true until WOTLK, where the SC showed up, and they sre described as a militant group of high elves opposing the sun reavers. Meanwhile, there are high elves in dalaran who welcome the sunreavers and their kin back.
You are factually wrong on this one Dorp.
Read the story.

Not universal, high elves hired horde adventurers to kill Alliance troops in Vanilla too.

I am not a mirror Dorp. Quit expecting me to be your reflection
High Elves or BLOOD Elves? What was the quest? Iâm curious as to the context of whether it was one lone dudeâs personal vendetta or an example of High Elf loyalties-at-large.

not with varying allegiances. Most are alliance. Those that are not donât belong to a unified group of high elves and are instead usually independent or part of some mish mash group such as pirates/privateers.
Also we state all the time that the way we see high elves being implemented is the unification of those various separated groups into one entity. That they fully accept and embrace the reality they find themselves in and move on by uniting and forming a new government and nation for themselves. Although not really a nation with lands of their own. At least not in a significant amount as they only have a few lodges that are truly theirs.

High elf. Its a questline that takes place south of Ogrimmar iirc.
The NPC is featured in WoW machinima too
Are they? There is a distinction between hostile to Horde and allied to Alliance.
