My argument for adding High Elves to the Alliance

[Sincubus-moon-guard (Sincubus)]

Thats true enough. Thankfully Vanilla has a good selection and the Warlock ICC set has a classless version that works good.

Oh no in my eyes they won’t.

I’m looking forward to seeing you and all the male blood elves showing off their chiseled chests, thank you.

Eh, I mean, when you see folks acting like jerks, do you want to see them win and get what they want in the end? It’s just how I feel right now.

I mean, jerks are going to sometimes get the things they want whether I like it or not, it’s a fact of life.

I hate it when High Elf folks trash Void Elves because they weren’t exactly what they wanted (despite them being a cool and unique take on the elf race, imo). I’m also not talking about constructive Kul Tiran criticism. I’m talking about, again, those angry High Elf fans trashing “those disgusting fatties” because again, they weren’t High Elves.

That’s the thing, it’s not exactly what they want, so they have to put other things down to elevate their own.

For the record I think Kul Tirans are pretty awesome and I’m working diligently to unlock them so I can play a rough and tumble brawler type monk. xD

I’m more of a dark irons kind of gal, but I can’t bring mysef to play Alliance >.<

Whats the point of having High elfs when the alliance has Night Elfs to me I can’t tell em apart… sort of like Dwarfs and dark Iron dwarfs there the same with different skin …

Its easier when you play a race that isnt exactly tied at the hip to the whole Alliance kumbaya, friendship is magic narrative. Helps my headcanon to keep an outsider perspective.

I consider this cyber bullying.

I just don’t like the sense of self-righteousness that comes off from Alliance but I do like dwarves in general… what other race would see that one of the clans summoned freaking Ragnaros and decide to let it be for 300 years?

I consider this cyber bullying.

Well, I find your offense offensive, good sir.

Oh I know, but you still don’t want to see them succeed nonetheless when they’ve slighted you.

That’s the thing, it’s not exactly what they want, so they have to put other things down to elevate their own.

Which is pretty messed up imo, and partly why I’ve taken on the anti-High Elf banner. Though it’s not just pure pettiness either, there are legitimate reasons to argue against the inclusion of High Elves which I’ve presented in other threads in the past.

Understandable. I’ve only just now started to grind for that rep on a dwarf rogue, but the meat of my time in BfA has been as Horde.

[Ruterot-barthilas]

Man, this thread gets a lot more civil without helfers.

[Midare-area-52 (Midare)]

Oh I know, but you still don’t want to see them succeed nonetheless when they’ve slighted you.

To be honest, for me it’s not a matter of them succeeding, I’m more concerned with things like how the balance of the playerbase population could be affected and to see the faction lines blurred if they were to get what they wanted.
If I had to be spiteful to every single person that has labeled me in a negative way, I’d be even more miserable than I already am, heh.

That’s understandable as well, and I’ve seen that being the case with other people that initially were pro or more neutral leaning that had been pushed away by the zealotry.

The only time I managed to play an Alliance character, not only those in my friend list, both horde and ally players, spammed me asking me if I had a fever or if hell had frozen over, but also I kept asking my guildie “Can we get back to Horde now?”

I really don’t want to say that you’re right… but am I gonna?

[Kreivos-area-52]

Definitely one of the legitimate points for arguing against High Elves.

That’s understandable as well, and I’ve seen that being the case with other people that initially were pro or more neutral leaning that had been pushed away by the zealotry.

I do take it slightly personally because I genuinely love Void Elves. From the first day I stepped foot on Mac’Aree I had hoped they would give us a Void-related option. Never expected it in the form of an elf but hell I’ll take it. xD

So it does upset me a little when folks disparage them.

Lmao I understand. It does take a little work to kind of “motivate” me to play Alliance and unlock their stuff. If it does help though there’s a number of things you can get from that side that your Horde characters can use. So it’s not a complete waste of time to do so and your mains will benefit from your efforts.

The super secret trick to it is to make the leap and main that character for a while. It’s a lot easier to farm wqs when you want azerite to get them ilvls for your m+ team.

Plus you get so much rep from the war campaign now you only really need to get to like revered from friendly then do the campaign for 7th Legion.

[Kreivos-area-52]

It also helped to turn this character into a real moneymaker as well. Mining/herbalism. I’m grinding Alliance stuff while using this character to fund token purchases. It’s not too bad. xD

I think we should keep conversation about High Elves to the megathread.

High Elf Allied Race Megathread (Continuation)

[image] The following thread is a continuation from the previous Megathread created in April of this year. *Disclaimer: This is the Official High Elves Allied race mega thread, We want to respectfully keep the discussion to stay in this mega thread. As it stands we would like to keep it respectful and for the discussion to focus on the developments and the story of Quel’dorei (High elves) since the last mega-thread. We do not condone trolling from either sid…

Oh wait! It’s getting mass flagged and the GMs aren’t doing diddly squat about it! Nevermind! Carry on

I’m not even sure that’s it. All the helf related threads have been getting locked for like a week. I think Blizzard’s just over it, tbh.

I can absolutely relate to this. I do tend to take it personally when they try to use Forsaken for the argument that “Horde already has humans anyway!”… it makes my blood boil.
But in the case of Void Elves, that’s possibly, no, that would be the only other race in Alliance I could bring myself to play. Sure, it has its issues (like them being blood elves or how quickly the poped into existance), but It has so much potential and they look so cool. Granted, the exploitation of their story potential depends on blizz so…

Are you saying Forsaken aren’t human? They’re just a little flayed, they’re still good, they’re still good.

[Proserpína-sargeras]

People in Blizzard don’t have to agree with me. But I will keep making myself heard about high elves. But if I’m going to be silenced and not have my opinion heard, I shall take my business Elsweyr

We’re the next step in evolution, baby.

Please, asking for High elves is not something that needs to be “silenced” as if the request was some sort of demand for rights.
But blizz addressed this several times, just because you don’t like the answer, doesn’t mean blizz has to keep listening to you.

[Ruterot-barthilas]

I disagree with everything you stand for. But for just a moment I thought you deserved high elves for that.

[Proserpína-sargeras]

And just because I’ve been given an unsatisfactory answer doesn’t mean I have to agree with it. Your move
