If the Alliance can't get High Elves, Then Give the Option to the Horde

The dynamic is actually that Alleria is the one who should be explaining why she’s loyal to the Alliance more than Silvermoon.

I just wish Lor’themar said more than “I don’t want to hear it”

She’s formerly a ranger general, right?

Not really, it’s a one way street my friend, no one was saying that line until the one q&a. It has been grossly misconstrued ever since.

All blood elves are high elves… but not all high elves are blood elves.

Poor guy was done so dirty :frowning:

Don’t worry it was just a setback.

I don’t see how these two events are remotely related though. Nor did I suggest the belves abandon the Horde to join the Alliance, simply that the Alliance has done something for the belves that the Horde can never one-up, especially considering the Horde keeps dragging the belves into it’s wars.

Checking the source for, “sabotage,” and no instance of sabotage comes up. Just the rogue quest to spy on the elves.

Again, there was no sabotage by the nelves, just spying, and they didn’t attack the belves until they were attacked first.

They were aided by the dwarf Prospector Anvilward.He gathered information such as detailed maps of different strategic buildings in Eversong Woods or a diagram of an arcane sanctum sketched in good detail, accompanied with numerous notes, and delivered the secret documents to the night elves, who sabotaged a sanctum.

“From what I can understand of this letter, whoever wrote this did not cause the malfunction, but rather was sent here as a spy to observe the results of it.”

Hey you will never see me arguing against more morally ambiguous characters in the Alliance, but you have to take an honest look around and see that, each time the Alliance has done anything questionable, we have people trying to whitewash it, minimize it, or claiming it’s “only bad writing to favor the Horde”, no one but those in the blue side that seem obsessed with being “the good guys” are the ones that keep that from happening.

It’s not something that warrants destroying the foundations of the game over, or turning it into bootleg lotr, it just requires the writers to actually have talent and truly ignore those kind of people.

So, fighting tooth and nail for their people and their survival it’s not a proof of honor or loyalty?

Did you miss those parts in the (outdated) starting zone and the heritage armor quest?

Or, you could settle for the already modified and distinct void elves instead of wanting to water them down, ruin the main point of their visual distinction and just get blood elves with blue eyes and fancy tattoos.

Well as I said, honor and loyalty to their people sure, but that doesn’t equate to honor and loyalty to the Horde

I still don’t understand this need for High Elves. We have enough elves in the game you can play as.

And it was written in Dwarven.

Night Elves were the ones that caused the sabotage. The Dwarf was sent to observe the results.

You guys talking about the dwarf spy from the starter zone? Wasn’t there a retcon involving him or something?

Did the fact that the Horde were the ones that offered help when they were still cleaning up the remnants of the Scourge while the blue side was attempting to sabotage them been mentioned yet?

“Could night elf saboteurs be behind this? I doubt it. With the load we’ve been putting on the West sanctum it was only a matter of time until something went wrong.”

The quest implied rumors of it before, and after confirming their presence, this is the dialogue with the same NPC.

Night elves? Here? Those rats! Do you suppose they had anything to do with the malfunction in my sanctum? If you have any information, you’d better take it to Captain Sunbrand at once!

I’m fine with both, thanks. I actually like void elves. But I don’t mind options being added.
