My argument for adding High Elves to the Alliance

Community General Discussion

That’s for a mod to decide. Groups of people are using forum mechanics in ways they were not intended in order to silence dissent.

I don’t want High Elves. In fact, I believe they will harm the game if added. However, until the pro and anti megathreads are re-established and the flagging issue is fixed, I have but one thing to say.

Make more high elf threads. Spread them across this forum like the bubonic plague!

you’ll get people getting forum vacations if they spam threads. this thread has no real purpose and is legit spam. if there was another megathread type thread that would be one thing. this is just… spam.

Okay yes void elves were blood elves until they became void elves.

No… Again. We are requesting High Elves which were never blood elves.

Contrary to what some might think, the Horde doesnt “own” or have a patent on all of that species of elf.

I really wish one day the Alliance could ask for a playable race that isn’t already in the game (game mechanic wise) with the same vigor.

You might actually get what you want then.

It was more Blizzard realizing the tons of money they could get out of it.

If thats your analysis you are welcome to it, but it doesnt make it a fact just because you repeat yourself.

maybe they already decided, and decided to give a time for those threads, for the healthy of he forum, who knows.

they are the same specie/race of elf

still the same argument can be done the other. way around, the alliance have no “rights” to have the same elf the horde have

it makes a fact because it is there

Correct. Because they want blood elves literally copied/pasted over. They want to turn the blood elves (from a game play perspective) into a neutral race.

And they wonder why it won’t happen.

Antis: Complain about too many High Elf threads.

Fans: Create a megathread.

Antis: Flag megathread to oblivion.

Fans: Make separate High Elf threads.

Antis: :open_mouth:

The purpose of this thread is that some guy wants to talk about high elves and doesn’t have a place to do it right now. I don’t agree with 90% of his complaints about the game, but he’s got just as much right to talk about what he wants to talk about in this forum so long as he isn’t toxic when he does it.

If people weren’t unjustly taking down the high elf megathread, this thread wouldn’t need to exist. It’s not spam.

Do you know how long some High Elves have been part of the Alliance? Since the very first day of the game, which is longer than Horde in BC.

if it was like the difference between kt humans and sw humans and the racials and everything else were different that would be one thing. but an exact copy of belves is not cool. especially since velves exist.

75

you do realize the vast majority of them died to the scourge and then the vast majority of what was left became belves?

They would have left a comment at the bottom of the thread as they do with literally every other one they decide to shut down.

Also, when a mod shuts a thread, it’s permanent. When it’s shut down due to community flags, you get a message at the bottom saying it will reopen in 24 hours. You can see that right now on both the pro and anti high elf threads.

the problem, according to Drede, is that once that time limit runs out, people just reflag the thread without any of the posters having time to even make another comment before the whole thing is shut down all over again.

It’s nonsense.

The Horde is waiting for you since these high elves are just Blood Elves.

i haven’t been in a recent helf thread. the last one i was in though a few months ago the pro helf people were trolling anyone who disagreed with them to the point of harassment. i haven’t been back until right now.

You do realize that the population argument for what is playable went out the window with void elves, right? Their population is so tiny.

So, what, the perpetual community closure of the high elf thread is some kind of vigilante justice to you?
