Giving me some flashbacks to the old forums lol — I remember when people use to make such arguments with:
“Wiping out the undead from Lordaeron once & for all, give all Forsaken players a forced race change and make Lordaeron restored & into an Alliance city!”
Honestly I just got sick of the High Elf thread spam on the forums, so thought I’d make an Anti-High Elf thread for the lols
I mean, I came on the forums the other day and quite literally on the first page saw four freaking High Elf threads. Albeit 3 were made by the same person – but still!
Yeah I was just saying it reminded me of such.
Hypotheticals are fine, after all – That’s this whole thread’s ordeal
Regardless of what happens with elves — Personally I hope the Sunwell stays existing.
I find founts of power bring out a fantasy element to the game & removing them all + destroying or getting rid of all of powerful artifacts, removing immortality from all beings & making everything explained in a scientific manner than a magical one, along with making everything ultimately finite or entropic — It kind of devalues the fantasy element the world itself carries.
Draenei do really have it bad. Blizz does love it’s genocide stories. But they luckily are still here too. It’s just the slavery and a road being made of them that beats even what Arthas did.
Bad news: The Arathi are Half Elves and have an Empire somewhere that sent an expedition to Hallowfall.
Considering the Architecture I would say Avaloren.
If there is a Half Elf Empire than there must be a High Elf Empire in Avaloren as well.
Since Avalon is a Fairy Land and considering how the Emerald Dream a Realm of Life is a mirror of Azeroth I suspect the Faeweald will be there too with Ardenweald and it’s own Faeweald being it’s Shadowlands counterpart.
Infact I suspect all the Zones will be mirrors of the Shadowlands’ Zones and will switch places with them(using the same process that the Emerald Dream used to bring Amirdrassil to Reality) early on in the Expansion as the Gods in the Zones get murdered one by one by the Big Bads with Denathrius taking out his counterpart the Arathi Emperor and seizing control as the Arathi Emperor takes his place in Revendreth.
Furthermore since the Titans are currently Demigods not Gods and since Odyn apparently needed to get at Ulduar’s resources without compromising the prisoner what are the chances that Odyn implanted Aman’Thul the Highfather’s God-Persona into the Old God thinking he was implanting Order into Yogg-Saron only to implant Aman’Thul the Highfather into him rendering his master plan useless?
No doubt the High Elven Empire will be the real Korthia City of Secrets with Zovaal’s counterpart ruling over it though since Zovaal was killed his consciousness might have returned to his True Body without the First One programming and is now fighting himself over control over the High Elven Empire with the Dark Side ruling the Dark Elves(copied onto Korthia’s Realm and Crater from the High Elves using the process to manifest Amirdrassil into Reality) and the other Side ruling the High Elves.
Ah yes… a Zovaal with a different personality ruling Gluttonous Dark Elves in the greater Korthia(clearly a Mirror of Oribos and it’s Avaloren Counterpart) in Avaloren while his Good Counterpart goes to Korthia and has to get us to work with High Elves in his Realm.
Truly a horrifying thought for those seeking to avoid High Elves!
Obviously I may not agree with High Elves, but like damn — There’s countless threads to continue the discussion on, such as yours - which is essentially a mega-thread of sorts.
There’s no need to make another on the enormous festering pile, especially several new ones within the same week - it just becomes ridiculous …
When repeat-subject thread creation happens with any other topic, you see forum posters scream for blood, but if its yet another High Elf topic — people are so use to that madness, it’s usually just an eyeroll and “Nothing to see here folks, keep moving along.” — Almost a meme now. lol
guaranteed there are more belf threads, granted because they are already playable but tangentially related threads too, such as horde demon hunters, who can only be belf on horde. belfs mad at velfs. belfs mad at helfs. belfs mad about their heritage sets. belfs mad at lack of customization. belfs mad about lack of silvermoon updates. belfs mad about lore issues. belfs mad about potential sharing of silvermoon as a hub city. belfs requesting things for belfs, like classes, mounts, armor, and so on.
Wipe out the High Elves? I’m pretty sure I canonically ended their entire existence. In Skyrim.
Elves are elves, all they need to do is download TRP if they want to have their mouse-over text call them a High Elf. To other people who also have TRP.
As for wiping them out? Disintegrate works, a freshly awoken Dracthyr can wipe out every High Elf in Dalaran because they are still at a baby level and from there it’s just a matter of finding the rest.
I highly, highly - Very very, very highly doubt that.
Not to mention, even if there were – Well like you said, Belves are actually already playable. It’s understandable for there to be Belf customisation threads, or stuff discussing their lore.
For instance, if I was a pro-ghostly Black Rook Hold Nightelf poster or pro-ghostly-Nar’Thalas Highborne poster — I’m certainly not going to make an argument pointing out @ standard Night Elves that their number are greater in customisation & lore threads.
To be fair, that’s not a ‘belf’ thing — Almost EVERYONE was mad @ velfs … Heck, I know a bucket-load of Helfs that were mad too Even the pro-velfs were mad @ velfs for them having crumby lore.
As far as I could see, the belfs were widely acceptant of the heritage sets.
However I find it funny, because —
Helfs have quite literally been mad or made threads about all those things too. lol
reasonable. now lets try a thought experiment: you’re a fan of dracthyr but cant be called a dracthyr because dracthyr already exist in some alternate dimension and are not playable in your dimension, even though you are indeed playing a dracthyr. yeah.
Albeit 3 were made by the same person – but still! 
Burn it!
