And thereās where you fail to see your disadvantage.
The shorter I am/taller you are, the easier I have access to your weak spot.
Please leave my chubby ankles out of this I am very insecure about them.
That is if her forsaken self has any teeth to bite them!
Sheās free to gum my ankles anytime.
Yessss!
Theyād just be allied to them.
Alteraci would take up residence again in Alteracās ruins and rebuild creating a supply line and fortress for the Horde through the mountains helping to secure Hillsbrad and Silverpine despite the blight.
You know, I too can agree with myself on alts. Seeing as how Iām like rank 15 in the us for having alts I can agree with myself on alts real gud. Better than most.
Fundamentally, opposition to the idea of alliance high elves is silly because of itās inevitability. Blizzardās automatic response to failing sub numbers is to start throwing the fanbaseās favourite ideas into the game in a transparent attempt to retain the playerbase. Void Elves (and the subsequent near-high elf customisation options) are already a sop to this. Further customisation options will come, but only after the point at which WoW has further lost its fanbase. I suspect the only reason they havenāt come yet is the weird strain of pride at Blizzard that prevents them from ever outright admitting error, and this would be a big admission given their historic insistence that it wonāt happen.
Lore opposition is obviously false. There are and have always been Alliance-aligned high elves in the game. This is typically a bad faith argument by blood elf posters who, in true blood elf fashion, want to be the prettiest elves in the game. They donāt appreciate the challenge high elves would offer.

What error exactly?
Because not catering to people that likes to pretend that WC3 TFT didnāt happen itās far from an error.
But hey, itās been a while since Iāve seen the whole āThey will happen when blizzard gets desperateā take which completely ignores how bussiness models works, but at least you get a point for bringing in a good olā barely used classic strawman.

I doubt this. But hey, letās use more energy for something that wonāt happen rather then using it for a real possible compromise.

Geez, how dead will it be by then?
Some people just donāt want the visuals of a race from one faction copied to the other, since it weakens the visual faction divide. Obviously Iām not one of said people, but to each their own. It gets real tiring to see them constantly berated for their opinions.

Somand, what do you think of the idea of half elves as a core race as a compromise?
Iāve always been on board with half elves regardless. They seem to work well enough as a compromise too, but I canāt say without bias since I like half elves anyway.

Honestly at this rate it would be nice to have Vrykul since void elves are already the ācompromiseā for high elves.
Not that I care whether theyāre added, if anything it should have been (H)Nightborne/(A)high elves or ghosty night elves+(H)HM tauren/(A)Vrykul back in Legion IMO.
Or in my happy place, (H)HM tauren+(A)Vrykul with nightborne being a neutral race.
Still feels like a slap in the face that night elves and humans were mainly the ones to save the nightborne from extinction, and they joined the hordeā¦
Iām only speaking from hindsight here, so feel free to take it with a grain of salt, but when I look back it seems pretty obvious they were going to go Horde if they joined a faction at all.
The night elves were nothing but aloof and mistrusting towards them, while the blood elves were friendly and understanding.

1 night elf expressed her mistrust, one time, and understandably. These are fully grown adults were referring to here, not high school students.
The rest (the druids and mages who were helping restore the arcandor, made up of night elves and humans) were not. The only thing the blood elves did was help with the insurgence of Suramar, which the alliance made up for 2/3 of the forces.
I.E the alliance is mostly responsible for the reason theyāre even alive, and they chose to join the horde, disregarding all of the above.

I am fairly certain humans played very little role in suramar, the dalaran forces that was there was for peacekeeping purposes between the elven armies if I remember properly.

Yeah, but it was their racial leader, so.
Those werenāt Alliance night elves. They were the night elves who lived in wilds of Suramar.
I donāt remember any humans helping out with the Arcandor, but if they did Iād assume they were Dalarani and not Alliance.

The races involved in the restoration of the arcandor (their source of existence) were night elves and humans.
The races involved in the insurgence of suramar were blood elves, high elves, night elves and humans. 3/4 alliance races.
Yet they joined the horde.
Theyāre easily more alliance leaning, they were neutral at the time because we were all fighting for a common cause in Legion (with velen, alleria, vereesa, Thrall, Baine, Liadrin, etc. being neutral) which happens every time we fight for a common cause.

Do you have a source on this? I canāt remember humans being involved at all. I only remember the one night elf hermit.
Dalarani humans are neutral. They were even neutral in BfA.
