the elves left the alliance. the story showed them leaving. all you have are a couple portal keepers standing around to reflect the lore that a few individuals remained loyal to the alliance
in fact hey had left the alliance in the wc3 expansion which launched several years before TBC entered development
the alliance had no claim on them by that point
i doubt theyll allow you to play blood elves on the alliance. if they were going to do that, why go through the bother of making up void elves?

Guess someone missed the faction delineation memo
best you can hope for is you can group up with gimli and aragorn for LFR/random bgs/LFD. factions arent dissolving

Who said anything about dissolving lul
We want to play those ones that remained loyal to the Alliance, which the Alliance certainly has claim to. Other than Humans, they’re the Alliance’s longest-associated race within Warcraft games.
Sorry Dwarves. You were booted from the Alliance club.
But actually, before the Third War, there was no Alliance like how it is today. There were several factions of the Alliance. You had the Alliance of Stormwind, the Alliance of Lordaeron, the Alliance of Stormgarde, etc. It wasn’t until after the third war where all these factions merged into 1, becoming the Alliance that we know off today.

High Elves have been part of the Alliance just as long as Dwarfs, and were never “booted from the Alliance club.” Come back when you have anything other than the Horde being given Blood Elves to balance faction numbers.
they dedicated an entire section of the wc3 expansion to their departure, and they had TBC show us why the high elves joined the horde
quel’thalas and the high elf people parted ways with the alliance during the third war. but they still needed help. sylvanas led one of the largest factions in the region. with her ties to quel’thalas it was only natural she helped them out. and shes the main reason why the high elves of quel’thalas proper(now known as blood elves) are in the horde
what you have are alliance individuals. they havent been an ‘iconic’ alliance race since wc2

They’re already there. You can have golden eyes on your Blood Elf. Go go go go.
In WC1 it was just Orcs and Humans… BUT ogres were also around.
According to this weird logic HE people go with where age is the most important factor ogres should have been in the game before trolls, dwarves, gnomes, goblins and HE.
You guys should be championing ogres above anything else!
That was the Alliance campaign, sweetie. Kael’thas’ perspective was that of the Alliance and Garithos was a dreadlord-enthralled bad guy. Can’t believe you didn’t notice this.
That’s cool. High Elves as part of the Alliance have always been unofficial delegations and individuals who refused to forsake their Alliance friends. People asking for High Elves want to play those ones. What the government in Quel’thalas believes is irrelevant to High Elves becoming playable because it’s never mattered in the past for playable iterations of High Elves.
When something is iconic, it is forever associated in a certain way. High Elves are iconic to the Alliance. That doesn’t detract from Blood Elves participating in the Horde due to faction population balance reasons, nor does the necessity of artificially giving the Horde an Alliance race make that race any less iconic to the Alliance.
Definitely not “above anything else,” but they should have already become playable for the Horde.
Horde already has the option they are now called Blood elves.
the high elvess are playable. you are deluding yourself if you think that a change of adjective means they arent and that blizzard is going to go back for a third time to the thalassian elves and give the alliance a second variant identical to blood elves

They aren’t playable. A Blood Elf aligned with the Horde is no High elf at all.

So it’s a ‘fight’.
I know you’re not the only helfer who has referred to it this way. It really shows how sad this really is.
Since it’s become a fight for you guys I really believe it’s gotten to the point that you all should just step away from the keyboard because you’ve gone over the line.

Well that’s ultra-dramatic don’t you think? Eat your grownup cereal because this is a grownup discussion and some words will be exchanged and some feelings are going to be hurt.
Now please excuse me while i have a big bowl of Lucky Charms.
haha…
Ok…go eat your lucky charms.
Maybe that will help the ‘fight’…
Well, I haven’t had a drink in 5 months, but since it’s legal up here I just packed a small bowl with a little of one of the finest strains of British Columbian bud in your honor.
