I am saying I would like to see the models reflect their trials and hardships, let the chips fall where they may. Iâm not here to make anites happy, Think the game should reflect more of the wars we been though on the models instead of eye colors and such.
I agree to disagree with you.
This doesnât make sense. Youâre arguing for a display of it being mentally and physically damaging to be Horde.
Have you read War and Peace? Did Russians suddenly change appearance every time they allied or called off an alliance with Napoleon or the Austrian Emperor.
The Blood Elves alliance with the Horde is already displayed by their personalities which makes them different from their Alliance leaning kin. It doesnât warrant a model change on their part.

Well you also need to take the players and gameplay aspects into account if you expect the devs to take any request for playable Alliance High Elves seriously.
Blizzard deciding to change the model Horde players have been using for over a decade just isnât ever going to happen and making that part of your request for playable Alliance High Elves makes your request dead on arrival.
Blizzard is obviously concerned about differentiating the faction races and silhouettes. Asking them to alter the currently playable Horde Blood Elf model into something else just so you can have the current model for Alliance High Elves is not a request they will ever seriously entertain.
If you want playable Alliance High Elves, your request has to be for a way to differentiate what you want, from what the other faction already has, not to outright take theirs away just so you can have it.
Itâs not about making the antiâs happy, itâs about making a request that Blizzard would realistically consider. What youâre asking for just isnât something Blizzard would ever realistically do.

I respect your opinion, but disagree with you, you have no idea nor does it matter what I do. We are talking about wow lore and the High Elves and Sinâdore I feel they would be different physical and mentally due tp their factions affiliation, and hardships, Sinâdorei having it worse, from one another and should be reflected in the game.
Even if they didnât completely disregard the argument based on that. It still has no merit because the people who have the luxury of having a kingdom wouldnât be the ones to display their population all seeming more rugged.
So even from a lore, society, perspective it wouldnât stand to make sense to do that to Blood Elves.
But I agree this damages the HE request and was part of what I was talking about sometimes, inherently anti BE ideas come up out of now where which I can sympathize with Blood Elf fans who would rather just try to stop the request all together now, to save head ache arguments later.

All I am saying is that you want ways to make them look different then all avenues should be explored, we dont have to make all decision based on keeping anties happy and we can keep to lore and the story. IF you disagree then that is up to you. Its where I stand.
I respect everyone or try to period.
But this isnât about respecting you or your opinion on HEs, this is me using logic to your poor argument attempt at actually stealing from Blood Elf players, everything I said stands, itâs not going to be the majority of the population that has the luxury of supporting all walks of life that is displayed as more rugged. And I take slight offense from using the HE topic as some sort of torch from players who have always hated the idea of Blood Elves on Horde and instead of thinking of new ways to include Alliance High Elves you would deconstruct Blood Elves.

Like i said its where I stand on the matter.
The post I quoted that was all about how âironicâ it was for someone to post about following the forum rules.
And called it
Itâs not a matter of whether or not I agree or disagree with you. What you or I think should be explored isnât the deciding factor⌠itâs what the Blizzard Developers decide. And I can say with 100% certainty the devs would never alter the Horde model and give the unaltered model to the Alliance. It just isnât something any developer would do because of the uproar it would cause with established players.
Youâre killing your own request for playable Alliance High Elves by even suggesting it.

regarding mods and their effectiveness. I believe that 4-8 of them working at any given time would be effective in properly moderating all the forums for a region.
Of course there would be the odd cases where the forums blow up and the workload becomes too much but generally outside of that they should be able to browse the threads and remove posts that break any rules and hand out punishments as needed. Responding to posts that receive a lot of flags as well would help speed things up.
As for community managers They have a lot of various roles and are usually assigned to different forms of social media across the various platforms used such as twitter, reddit, and the official forums. They should be the ones relaying information to and from the dev team. If they donât already I believe they should write down ideas from the community that receive a lot of support and relay that to the dev team.
Of course I have no idea how it actually works but to me this seems like it would be effective done this way. Also I think we should end this topic.
I take slight offense to it as a fan of BEâs because it has no lore leg to stand on, and is obviously biased to deconstructing Blood Elves and building High Elves up. Which is a theme that at first I ignored but itâs cumbersome dealing with people using the HE request to deconstruct Blood Elves because their own bias hasnât allowed them to understand why Blood Elves fit on Horde.
And I take slight offense to it again a second time as a HE supporter because it gives legitimacy to every anti who says the request steals from Blood Elves, and the Void Elf Allied Race already fulfills the ârequestâ.

Sorry you feel that way, but we all cant agree on everything.
My concern is that his request actually helps the opposition. Even suggesting that the Horde should outright lose the model theyâve used for over a decade so the Alliance can have it, is just plain nonsensical and immediately puts the request into the shredder.

This is true. But if your sole purpose is to steal the BE model then Void Elves should satisfy that.
If youâre arguing for Alliance High Elves, the people with no kingdom, who never took an easy way out with dealing with their magic addiction, because make no mistake an easy way out would be just confirming to Blood Elf society and being let back into Quelâthalas, then a model change needs to come from the Alliance High Elves, you not understanding Blood Elf society and culture and trying to finesse a way to steal the model from them to fit the High Elf narrative isnât going to work, either from as pointed out to you from the devs POV, but beyond that itâs a weird botched view of Blood Elves and a glorified view of High Elves to think they deserve the model that represents the majority of the people, because Blood Elves do represent the majority of the people they have the kingdom, itâs majority, and not everyone has to contribute the way the smaller more scattered High Elves would.

Since were going in circles iâll move along,
Well you donât really seem that open minded when you threw out an idea that wouldnât work.
But we both want High Elves, but I am vehemently opposed to your idea of stealing the BE model from Blood Elves.
I wish you a good day
