High Elf POSITIVITY Thread 😎

[Somand-proudmoore]

Yep.

@Midare-area-52

I’m not sure, as far as I know, it’s always been Undead.

It might’ve been on a PTR or something? I know there was a PTR where Quel’Thalas was brought onto the EK map. I remember it distinctly because you could fly in Ghostlands, but when you hit Eversong, you were dismounted with no parachute, and I ate a death to this.

all sexual content should be taken out of game

My existence is not sexual.

@Lannisterian-tichondrius

You say that like it’s not the same pro HE supporters.

There’s a world of difference, insofar as mental health is concerned, between a small group of people coming together to discuss something they all enjoy and a small group of people banding together to attempt to convince others to hate something as much as they do.

The former is healthy, the latter isn’t.

@Lannisterian-tichondrius

Imagine thinking faction distinction and favoring Blood Elf visual uniqueness moving forward somehow equals bitter but this conversation where you shockingly exclaim “oh there’s an ignore feature now” doesn’t give off bitter vibes at all?

1. I haven’t mentioned playable High Elves even one time in the last few months.
   
   

2. I’ve been consistent, since the very first thread about Void Elves when they were announced, about not wanting playable High Elves unless they were visually changed so that they didn’t share anything with Blood Elves (different hair colors, different skin colors, different eye colors, etc.).

   (NOTE: I was also openly against adding “normal options for Void Elves”.)
   
   

3. What does being surprised there is now an option to ignore people have to do with being bitter? And, also, what would I be bitter about?

@Midare-area-52

I mean, I have no life, clearly, but at least I know when to let go.

If you knew how to let go, you wouldn’t be here stirring trouble in a thread about something you believe to have been settled in 2006.

@Snowsong-fizzcrank

For example, a police officer might have reasonable cause to put down a potential suspect, but that doesn’t give them permission to execute them in cruel and unusual methods.

If we were in downtown Atlanta, you’re right – we’ve got no clue, whatsoever, what deputized officers have permission to do in Dalaran. As of yet, not one member of the Silver Covenant has even been reprimanded… suggesting no laws were broken.

@Snowsong-fizzcrank

You can dance around the answer to this because you refuse to acknowledge the obvious, but don’t act surprised when people point out the lapse of reasonable thinking behind it. Things aren’t happenstance as they are in real life, and these things are done to demonstrate a narrative point - whether or not you wish to acknowledge this, is up to you.

There isn’t any dancing required – if what the Silver Covenant had done was criminal, they would’ve been remanded to custody themselves (or, at the very least, reprimanded harshly by the Kirin Tor).

None of this occurred.

@Snowsong-fizzcrank

Which is unfortunate, as it requires you to ignore a lot of blaring inconsistences, which really compromises the legitimacy of your argument.

Please, do tell me about these alleged “inconsistencies”.

@Snowsong-fizzcrank

To the point where you refuse to even acknowledge the use of cruel, and unusual forms of punishment, with those who are merely following orders.

I’d love to know which in-universe statements and/or legal documents indicate to you that cruel and unusual punishment is forbidden – because it sure sounds like headcanon to me.

I think he’s coming on to you.

I’m simply a product of people like you who can’t let go of something that has indeed been resolved back 2006.

You come for the people in my faction, you have to deal with it.

[Avarie-farstriders]

Bad writing doesn’t mean their actions were fine. They should face consequences, as should Jaina.

@Sibbja-sargeras

It seems unhealthy to associate with people just for this reason, regardless of how they act.

I have positive relationships with people who disagree with me about elves, and I don’t with people who agree with me about elves, but are otherwise terrible.

[Sibbja-sargeras]

@Midare-area-52

You come for the people in my faction, you have to deal with it.

I’ve always viewed the Blood Elves as being inherently cowardly, choosing the path of least resistance at every opportunity – believe me when I say, nobody on the Alliance is looking for that.

[Zurogrusel-darrowmere]

Disagreeing about pixel elves is one of the worst ways you can act, you know.

[Tarrok-thorium-brotherhood (Tarrok)]

@Sibbja-sargeras

You misspelled Silver Covenant/other high elves that sat back and abandoned their people in their darkest hour

You know, I would chuckle at your poor attempts of jabs at some point, now, it’s like watching the same banana peel gag a thousand times, and I just sigh.

[Valarían-hydraxis]

Dealing with peeps that will say anything, best to just let it pass. (imho)

[Somand-proudmoore]

I always viewed it as the blood elves are pragmatic, while the high elves are wilful.

Neither one is inherently bad, they’re just different.

[Snowsong-fizzcrank]

@Sibbja-sargeras

Because it was done in secrecy, I wonder why they all had to be done in the sewers? Players are allowed to murder each other in the sewers as well, I’m pretty sure that’s not allowed in either faction but its not like we’re apprehended. That’s the whole context of the sewers, its the place for crime.

@Sibbja-sargeras

If we were in downtown Atlanta, you’re right – we’ve got no clue, whatsoever, what deputized officers have permission to do in Dalaran.

Why do you think they needed the secrecy of the sewers? If it were not against Kirin tor policy why were none of these types of murders preformed topside? The answer is pretty obvious.

@Sibbja-sargeras

Please, do tell me about these alleged “inconsistencies”.

Tell me how you fail the see the difference between simply subduing the unruly Sunreavers top side, and how they’re killed in the sewers?

[Somand-proudmoore]

@Snowsong-fizzcrank

Tell me how you fail the see the difference between simply subduing the unruly Sunreavers top side, and how they’re killed in the sewers?

To be fair, you do get a quest to kill 16 Sunreavers topside.

The fact that you disagree with something, doesn’t make it bad writing.

@Somand-proudmoore

It seems unhealthy to associate with people just for this reason, regardless of how they act.

As a matter of sociability, you’d be incorrect – it’s completely healthy for people to interact with one another based on mutual likes, and completely unhealthy for people to interact with one another based on mutual dislikes.

If you disagree with that, take it up with the American Psychological Associations, I suppose.

@Tarrok-thorium-brotherhood

You misspelled Silver Covenant/other high elves that sat back and abandoned their people in their darkest hour

We’ll have to agree to disagree.

The Blood Elves have been defined by their decidedly luxurious lifestyles since the moment they were introduced.

@Somand-proudmoore

I always viewed it as the blood elves are pragmatic, while the high elves are wilful.

We’re in agreement.

@Snowsong-fizzcrank

Why do you think they needed the secrecy of the sewers? If it were not against Kirin tor policy why were none of these types of murders preformed topside? The answer is pretty obvious.

I’m going to go do this entire Purge of Dalaran questline, again, but even from a few cursory glances at terrible quality footage on YouTube you can see that there are dozens of witnesses in every wing of the Dalaran Sewers – meaning, these aren’t being performed in secret.

@Snowsong-fizzcrank

Tell me how you fail the see the difference between simply subduing the unruly Sunreavers top side, and how they’re killed in the sewers?

The player character on the Alliance kills at least 50 Surneavers, point blank, topside. If you’re a fire mage, you technically burnt these people alive… depending upon who you are, this is far more cruel than a drowning.

Weren’t you the one worried the other day that stating Blood Elves are High Elves was something people who support HEs apparently can’t handle?

@Jeurtsja-sargeras

They’re basically just parroting Ion’s statements, knowing full well the inflammatory effect they have on people. Shameful.

@Sibbja-sargeras

The former is healthy, the latter isn’t

These people who can’t handle that statement are the ones you’re commenting on as being fine and dandy but calling everyone else’s mental health into question?

[Valarían-hydraxis]

LOL he doesn’t even know what a High Elf and Blood Elf Is. I felt he was trying to be demeaning towards the Alliance High Elf Fans in this video to.

[Midare-area-52 (Midare)]

@Valarían-hydraxis

LOL he doesn’t even know what a High Elf and Blood Elf Is. I think he was trying to be demeaning in this video to.

You not liking what he said doesn’t mean he “doesn’t know what he’s talking about”.

Blood Elves are High Elves, the denial is no longer entertaining, it’s just sad.

[Lannisterian-tichondrius]

Wasn’t he just complaining about people making fun of him but he’s the first one to try and then fail to have a moment at mocking someone like lol
