My argument for adding High Elves to the Alliance

[Muir-kelthuzad]

A blood elf can identify as a high elf if they want too

Show us a Blood Elf calling themselves/wanting to identify themselves as a High Elf and you would have a point here.

[Callistus-wyrmrest-accord]

You’re the problem and the others who continue to flag posts with no concern that are getting the topics shut down.

If I’m getting harassed or being trolled, I’m going to flag the post. I’ve been told to do as much by the GM’s.

I’m not responsible for someone deciding to be vitriolic.

We could call ourselves Horde High Elves but that would be unpatriotic.

[Muir-kelthuzad]

Why would it matter?

You’re the one making a statement about it to a conversation as if it should matter, I’m merely asking for evidence to back up such a statement.

Lorthemar now allows any high elves into his kingdom

Again, show me proof of where High Elves are allowed to go back to their homes/families in Silvermoon aka show High Elves mingling with Blood Elves in their home sort of like y’know how we can see High Elves living in Stormwind, an actual Alliance city/home among the people of the Alliance.

Spoiler alert: the Sunwell isn’t a home, it’s more like a religious site akin to a Mosque or what not. Which also the allowance of that was succeeded by the slaughtering of Blood Elves by High Elves in MoP.

Please provide current proof of statements you make in attempt to strengthen an argument you’re putting forth.

Otherwise we can just spout random stuff all day and end it with: FACT

Merely saying something doesn’t make it true.

I always hear “we” as if us players speak for the lore of the game. We don’t. I’m not sure where this behavior started from.

Blood Elves never go around calling themselves High Elves, “the true High Elves”, nor even have given any hint of such things. Until that’s provided, it’s straight headcanon to do so.

If we were to go by headcanon then an Allied Race system wouldn’t have to exist in the first place. Everyone “could call themselves” whatever they wanted.

Uh huh. You’ve interacted with your side of this? Or is this just something you selectively do?

[Muir-kelthuzad]

I’ll respond to you with a quote of mine.

I don’t think you understood my statement. For instance look at Sincubus’ post. Him making a character named “Highelf” doesn’t speak for the lore of the game.

I could go and make an Orc named “Highelf” too, it doesn’t make Orcs high elves. I hope you’re understanding what is being said, which is, what we do as player characters has no bearing on the lore of the game.

This is why WoW is a “themepark MMO”, we’re just here for the ride.

In lorthemars short story he made it clear any high elves were allowed back into the kingdom!

He asked one group, who weren’t even part of the Alliance to come back. He did not go around spreading news everywhere “all High Elves welcome back home”.

I don’t see how this supports “Lor’themar allows any high elves”.

He even asked the high elves himself to rejoin

And those high elves refused. Clearly showing they don’t want to be part of what the Blood Elves are. Then Lor’themar just gave up after that. Oh and then MoP and the Purge of Dalaran happened where a bunch of High Elves slaughtered Blood Elves.

Yeah I’m sure they’re super welcome after that display. (/s in case one can’t understand the sarcasm of this sentence).

Guys, the self-identifying as a high elf thing was just a bit of a meme.

[Sincubus-moon-guard (Sincubus)]

Alert the press!

[Hecatone-burning-legion (Hecatone)]

I don’t think you understood my statement.

You didn’t understand mine? Or when you’re just lashing out it isn’t necessary to?

I could go and make an Orc named “Highelf” too, it doesn’t make Orcs high elves. I hope you’re understanding what is being said, which is, what we do as player characters has no bearing on the lore of the game.

That’s a restriction YOU placed so you could pick a fight.

Then why are you even here? Stop bothering people on the forums and enjoy the ride.

[Carissaria-aggramar]

Considering the official alliance position on Zandalari warlocks is shut up, sit down and forget it because you are never gonna get it…

But I think they should have more classes for all races?

[Hecatone-burning-legion (Hecatone)]

[Muir-kelthuzad]

Um, this is easily proven by the fact that the story of WoW heads in one direction regardless of whether you play it or not.

Then why are you even here? Stop bothering people on the forums and enjoy the ride.

You appear pretty aggressive just because I asked another random poster to provide evidence for their statement. If they can’t, they can’t.

Just providing clarity on what a headcanon statement is and what isn’t while I sip my morning coffee, what’s the harm here?

Dude, it was a joke. Stop carrying on like a pork chop.

I would finally roll a gnome.

Meekdoh’s statement? I know Sincubus was joking. Meekdoh didn’t seem to be by further engaging with their thought process of their own statement.

[Muir-kelthuzad]

I would too actually.

[Ruterot-barthilas]

The entire thing is a joke. The premise of self-identifying as a high elf was not meant to be a serious discussion.
