High Elf POSITIVITY Thread 😎

[Playpen-wyrmrest-accord]

They could murder every last high elf npc known in the game and a future expac could bring an undiscovered island of high elves.

why would this group join the alliance over their own people

[Avarie-farstriders]

Maybe Liadrin says something mean to them so they go alliance.

Interesting I could say the same about the opposite side sometimes are VE’s Thalassian or are we doing the “HAH they’re not thalassian at all” argument so many things it could be applicable to, and I genuinely have no idea what you’re referring to as sharks. They are pro alliance which is the point I assume Vereesa created the organization for.

Please, understand that people are individuals, I remember you were capable of discerning this. This individual in particular has stayed away from the forums because of the constant cognitive dissonance, so stop lumping people together.

And what do you mean what am I referring to as sharks. Literally shark, Segacedi, the Silver covenant were feeding their own people, the ones wearing red undies, to a literal shark.
That is not something someone with self control and reserved would do.

But according to you, if they are more assimilated to the Alliance, they are more reserved in their methods.

So again, which is it, because they’re certainly not assimilated enough to be “stoic” and “reserved”, but then they are because… why exactly?

While I genuinely agree with Nightborne making sense going Horde, I had to laugh

[Midare-area-52 (Midare)]

Could work, if they are established as being separated for 10,000 years, look completely different, and were changed by a completely different source of magic.

[Lannisteros-proudmoore]

so stop lumping people together.

The constant change of the spiel when it’s convenient it’s difficult to keep up with.

Oh so this was just a personal attack aimed at me? Got it I thought you were lumping people together, so I just felt the need to point out a case can be made that from others POV your side does what you said.

Because that’s something I’ve seen you, as the individual, saying that they are Alliance.

But then you say that those doing crazy things to reach their goals are not assimilated enough.

You contradicted your own words.

[Avarie-farstriders]

I’d be love to see high elves get their own zone with quests similar to the Suramar line. I enjoyed that story and actually cared about a lot of characters.

[Midare-area-52 (Midare)]

But then they wouldn’t be high elves anymore. It would make sense to be something completely different.

You know, like the Nightborne are.

[Lannisteros-proudmoore]

because that’s something I’ve seen you , as the individual, saying that they are Alliance.

So you the individual are arguing Silver Covenant is not Alliance aligned?

But then you say that those doing crazy things to reach their goals are not assimilated enough.

I never said this, I said High Elves are portrayed as more reserved, and careful towards magic since they lost the Sunwell, and I would assume since getting it back they haven’t gone crazy on experimenting with the Void. In fact they haven’t a group of Blood Elves did, which was my point.

[Avarie-farstriders]

As long as they are similar lorewise I’d accept it. I’d prefer our actual high elves with an altered model though.

[Drede-cairne (Drede)]

the Silver covenant were feeding their own people, the ones wearing red undies, to a literal shark.

It’s because they aren’t their people.

[Lannisteros-proudmoore]

And I am confused is the shark a metaphor for Jaina? Because if so case in point the BE’s showed no remorse for HE loss of life at Theramore because

they aren’t their people.

[Drede-cairne (Drede)]

I mean, the Silver Covenant literally formed an armed militia to oppose the introduction of the Sunreavers and the Horde to Dalaran.

By what stretch of the imagination are they the same people?! lol

[Midare-area-52 (Midare)]

So you the individual are arguing Silver Covenant is not Alliance aligned?

Nope, you seem to be.

I know they are under the command of a neutral city. You’re the one that seems to think that people are assimilated if they only behave in a certain way.

I never said this, I said High Elves are portrayed as more reserved, and careful towards magic since they lost the Sunwell, and I would assume since getting it back they haven’t gone crazy on experimenting with the Void.

And I said that, for a race that has close to no development (and I’m being generous) they’ve still shown reckless behaviour when it involves magic and even when it doesn’t.

But you said, and I quote:

And the Alliance High Elves seem to have only assimilated more so on Alliance, with that reserved stoic theme they have going on.

Ergo, they either haven’t assimilated enough or, they simply are following their nature in the same way blood elves have.

It’s because they aren’t their people.

Yeah, how dare they honor those that sacrificed their life to protect their kingdom, stinky blood elves not kissing up to humans pout.

As long as they are similar lorewise I’d accept it. I’d prefer our actual high elves with an altered model though.

Except that the only thing they’d share would be a long, lost past. Whatever happened in that hypothetical island would make them entirely different.

But then again, changing something so it would be even genetically different doesn’t seem to be well recieved either…

[Hecatone-burning-legion (Hecatone)]

Outside of the Silver Covenant they already have.

“absorbed into other cultures”

[Playpen-wyrmrest-accord]

So you the individual are arguing Silver Covenant is not Alliance aligned?

theyre a dalaran based militia. they are neutral. unless dalaran picks a side again(it wont), that means they are not alliance aligned. this is also in line with ions ‘no hubs or settlements’ comment

[Midare-area-52 (Midare)]

And I am confused is the shark a metaphor for Jaina?

Oh I see what’s the problem. You’re acting as if Silver covenant agents dangling their own, green eyed people, over the maws of a literal shark that even has his own name, never happened.

[Hecatone-burning-legion (Hecatone)]

…and on top of that, they are everything people hate about the Blood Elves, but worst.

[Drede-cairne (Drede)]

Yeah, how dare they honor those that sacrificed their life to protect their kingdom, stinky blood elves not kissing up to humans pout .

You not accepting their decisions doesn’t change that they aren’t the same people anymore.

Inf fact, it’s not even relevant to the discussion at all.
