High Elf POSITIVITY Thread 😎

You want corroboration?

Read your own posts and for once, think critically.

Too hard?

Holy catfish… is this the 4000th argument about the SC?? Geez. One side makes them out to be pure evil… and the other … well, pure… it’s somewhere in the middle folks. All groups in wow have evil tendencies.

Especially night elves when we murder people for coming in our woods… :innocent:

It’s interesting, because this isn’t corroborative at all. :laughing:

10/10, exactly the type of non-answer I suspected.

Illegal and immoral are not the same thing.

:thinking:

Too bad in-game evidence has shown otherwise. Evidence you so clearly ignore because you know it kills your flimsy little argument that has no weight at all to begin with. You trying to justify their actions as the laws and traditions of Dalaran is absurd.

Eh, I’d go with them being a bit further on the scale towards wrong than in the middle. If bliz had written them as hiding the bell with the focusing iris in Dal, and hadn’t decided murdery Jaina was cooler than teleport Jaina I’d say middle is right. But as is, they had a reason to act, but attacked the wrong people.

And dammit, with the way they can’t let even a speck of grey in on the alliance story anymore, I’m holding on to what we’ve got

So you’re unable to think critically, glad we’re making it clear.

Not that it was a secret.

This is absolutely true.

But between the fact that Blizz clearly doesn’t know what to do with them after their introduction as the result of Vereesa’s simply not liking that the Horde was going to help with the war against the Blue Dragonflight, and the players that refuse to accept that awful actions can come from the side they deemed righteous, it can get heated.

We’re agreed.

Then it shouldn’t be too overly difficult to provide a citation which demonstrates as much – I’m definitely not going to hold my breath. :man_shrugging:

You’ve now chimed in four times, in fifteen minutes, with precisely zero to offer any discussion at all. :man_shrugging:

The law wasn’t just being carried out though, it was being abused so they could punish the Sunreavers with cruel acts of torture, and murder. That’s why those instances revolving the High elves feeding them to sharks and drowning them in the sewers were included within the story.

There’s obviously a discrepancy between the Silver covenant who were just upholding the law, and those like Vareesa who took the opportunity to preform heinous acts to satisfy their anger.

Because it was done under Jaina’s orders, who is admonished by Varian himself when she tells him of what occurred in Dalaran. The game also returns to that purge again and again, reminding the players of the slaughter, even Jaina recounts the tale as one of her sins when Thrall despairs about his bloody past.

The purge was more than following orders, it was a violent, and emotionally driven retaliation. How anyone can see it in any other way is a question for a more temperate mind than my own.

edit
Heck just look at jaina by the end of Mists, twisting her moustache evilly as she compels Varian to “dismantle the Horde” - This narrative isn’t coy, it’s pretty on-the-nose.

They can’t even do the night warrior right… like wth?? Tyrande gets all these powers and becomes a worthless plot hole… at least could have destroyed an unwitting orc encampment.

Seriously, give the Alliance some teeth (as long as the horde story isn’t all “we deserve this”) and let them be antagonists in the Horde story. Seriously, I would have much rather TB went up in Teldrassil’s place (with the caveat that the story treated it in a similar way and didn’t make up some BS after the fact to make the Alliance into the Good Guys for doing that) as at least that would give me some incentive to care about the story

You don’t even want a discussion.

You’ve deemed them righteous. In your mind, they’re morally pure.

You’re full of it and nothing will convince you otherwise.

Not even. Jaina said she wanted them out. She simply let it slip when her BFF went full bloodthristy.

Given the night elves’ win rate against orcs I would have suggested against Tyrande angering them.

Can’t have the Human Potential™ getting overshadowed.

No. I refuse to give you a citation for in-game evidence that has been readily available since Mists of Pandaria to the general public. You can keep pretending it’s never existed at all in your own fictional world but here in reality everyone knows and has seen it because it is that common.

Have fun, Flat Earther.

The law is what the Kirin Tor says it is, as far as we can tell.

That’s because the Purge was morally repugnant, but that’s got nothing to do with either a) whether it was legal or b) whether it implies the organizational purpose of the Silver Covenant is to hunt and kill Blood Elves.

The latter of which is Renotarshil’s assertion, which he refuses to corroborate with any evidence despite it apparently being everywhere.

Who, the High Elves? :laughing:

I don’t even think very highly of the High Elves, they’ve basically lived like leeches for decades and make absolutely pitiful decisions as a congregation – they’re miles from morally pure, and I prefer it that way. But, hey, by all means… keep telling me what I believe. :man_shrugging:

That’s not surprising at all. :man_shrugging:

I don’t need to tell you, as I said, you’re the one jumping through flaming hoops trying to soften what they did.

We won’t ever have that with Anduin or Graymane for that matter… all bark and no bite. They wrote themselves into a corner with King Virtuesignal and the possibilities in the future.

It’s clear the horde feared her even during the war of thorns. (Blizz made the nightelves incompetent buffoons for that event.)

But we had to find in a book that the night elves swept the orcs out of ashenvale in the aftermath of cata or mop? Either way… the alliance player never got to witness that.

I’m not going to go dig up evidence that has been readily available since Mists of Pandaria just for you to flat out ignore it like you do with everything else due to you being upset at constantly being wrong as demonstrated over the past 2 days.

And we should.

I’m no fan of Night Elves by any means, but between Super Saiyan Deer Man (Malfurion) and Tyrande, they could have wiped a big chunk of the Horde… guess Blizz remembered the Horde is a playable faction and had to survive, that’s why they had an old man with an axe surviving his 1v1…
