If Blizzard, who is in charge of the canon, adds stuff to the game and changes the lore…then it’s lore.
You don’t get to pick and choose. I don’t get to say Teldrassil wasn’t actually burned down and the Night Elven people genocided just because I think it was a poorly executed and shallow plot device.
It is! I’ve been changing them around lately. I’ll probably change it yet again when the servers are less buggy, but for now I’m refraining from logging ingame.
first thing you said that i disagree with. let me explain: humans have 35 hairstyles, blood elves have 25. that is a big discrepancy. as a belf player, i would like more hairstyle options for my belf. as a velf player, i would like more hairstyle options for my velf. its not a hard concept.
In my headcanon (I play on a RP server) I’m a High Elf Holy Priest If you click my profile you should hopefully see my updated appearance to reflect this haha
If you wanna know the lore justification for this race having this class in game… well I couldn’t tell you
I figured it was, “because” you’re on a RP server. So am I. =) I just sorta surprised RP’d you without you realizing it. Goblins don’t typically give away stuff for free, but if you had actually figured out something plausible in lore to explain it, that would be interesting as heck from a Gobbo PoV. So a simple trade! But pfft, cheater. lol
The difference lies between something being added because of lore, or lore being added to justify something.
The “lore” came second in this situation, the change was made to fit.
That’s like suddenly giving Horde dreanei and then saying “oh yeah, there were some that didn’t like Velen so they left and joined the Horde”
They get the square peg, they get the round hole and then they just smash it together until the edges of the round hole give in and the square goes through.
