High Elf POSITIVITY Thread 😎

[Thèón-emerald-dream (Thèón)]

So say WoW continues for 30 in-game lore years

Then their posture could change.

[Astrius-dalaran]

Then their posture could change.

So the Tauren who lived among the Horde for that time, their posture didn’t change.

[Leinadh-stormrage]

Playable Alliance Quel’dorei have my full support

[Hecatone-burning-legion (Hecatone)]

I am fully opposed to playable Alliance high elves.

They live with each other in thunder bluff.

[Astrius-dalaran]

They live with each other in thunder bluff.

What about crossroads?

Don’t forget gnomes, same thing. They only got gnomeregan back and stopped living in Ironforge recently.

Don’t forget trolls, literally living in orgrimmar.

[Leinadh-stormrage]

I dont see how the alliance high elfs would be detrimental to the game or the horde.

Agreed!!!

[Hecatone-burning-legion (Hecatone)]

Nice hat.

[Astrius-dalaran]

It’s the best.

[Hecatone-burning-legion (Hecatone)]

The best hat for the best toons.

[Thèón-emerald-dream (Thèón)]

Blizzard doesn’t care about this spot, they could update posture at any time. Gnomes and dwarves generally have the same posture too. And blizzard could give darkspear trolls a standing upright posture too, it’s up to them.

Or, what you all really mean by this argument:

I dont care how the alliance high elfs would be detrimental to the game or the horde.

No, it’s been 30 years, like you said. Should have been added already, right?

The High Elf Containment Thread

We all know what is to come. The inevitable creation of a high thread for those desiring them. As such, I have taken the opportunity to create it on behalf of those whom I stiffly oppose on the notion. Now for those who feel high elves may not occur, or do not wish to discuss high elves at all, I have my suggestion through half elves, the link can be found below. https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/new-race-for-the-alliance-half-elves/429604 As for those whose only purpose is to come …

I agree, it should have.

[Thèón-emerald-dream (Thèón)]

Also, this thread already exists

Made by someone staunchly against high elves.

[Sejet-nemesis (Sejet)]

How would the alliance high elfs harm the game or the horde at all?

Also dont miss quote me, dont change what I say on the foruns.

[Hecatone-burning-legion (Hecatone)]

It still exists…

Why High Elves Don't Work: A Primer

After seeing this entire debacle play out since Void Elves were revealed, I have noticed a couple things. Firstly, that Ion, and thus Blizzard, haven’t changed their stance on High Elves since Blizzcon. Secondly, that High Elf Hopefuls keep bringing up the same arguments that they claim supports High Elves. Despite our Lead Game Director Ion Hazzikostas stating quite clearly on two different live streams that High Elves don’t make sense as an Allied Race, why they don’t make sense, and that the…

[Starlagosa-dentarg (Starlagosa)]

High elves are an iconic Horde race and making them playable on the Alliance would infringe on the Horde’s identity. Just as Horde shouldn’t get playable humans Alliance shouldn’t get playable high elves, unless they are sufficiently differentiated from Blood Elves like Void Elves.

Additionally playable Alliance high elves is the most banal option there is, like giving Alliance another horse mount. With limited allied race slots, the Alliance deserves something other than solidifying the most basic fantasy trope. Alliance should receive something that differentiate them from the Horde and every other common fantasy cliche, like sethrak. With Shadow Lands launching soon, promising new and interesting races, I hope we get something unique to the Alliance that also makes WoW more… WoW.

Keep WoW weird, say “No!” to playable Alliance high elves.

Mic drop.
End of discussion.
Over and Out.

Mods have made it clear there’s supposed to be one thread for all the discussion, that’s the one up in the thousands already.
