This is pretty disingenuous asking someone to dig stuff up that’s five years old. Especially when you can Google it yourself.

Here is part of what started it way back in 2014 along with someone harassing a popular artist for having a brown elf in their art.

To counter this attitude a bunch of people demanded darker skins on Blood Elves and started making dark characters and flooding the internet with art of brown skinned Blood Elves. You can find a few remnants of this on Twitter if you search back far enough, but people delete Twitter accounts and Tumblr accounts. There were posts on the old bahleeted forums, too.

I actively cannot comprehend how you think the concrete fact that you are being showered with customization options as opposed to the only confirmed “high elf” options for void elves being blue eyes and regular skin tones, means you’re losing this “race”.

Sorry, showing that you believe we “have enough”, when the biggest point of contention missing is lore connection obviously shows you didn’t know what we actually wanted with the request, it’s like point 1, I don’t need to be the voice of the people to know that.

And yet I have multiple posts that have advocated for lore being the easiest thing to add. So you’re apparently ignoring my posts and picking out the ones that don’t fit this hive mind mentality you’d prefer I subscribed to instead.

You have enough for now. There’s no reason to push in front of BEs anymore during core race customization. And I’ve been also vocal about hoping Blizzard does go back to them because they are a core race. That’s not to say I don’t support more down the line.

Exactly, it’s five years old. That’s the point. It wasn’t a recurring request, it wasn’t something that people asked after Shadowlands was announced. It was a forgotten request from five years ago.

(Oh, and blood elves got the dark skins, so what’s the complain again?

Back in WoD no race got more options. It’s not like it was just the blood elves left out)

Which is good, because we want to avoid a, “Classic World of Warcraft 2.”

Funny thing is the two are mutually exclusive, I don’t know how you thinking about “high elves have enough” is the same as “I’m gonna ask for more blood elf customization”.

You can literally do both without them trampling on each other, we can keep asking for high elf customization, I don’t know why you think you can’t ask for your own instead of attempting to stop others from getting Theres.

Because I am using my voice to for Blizzard to see people do notice the lackluster BE customizations yet they made the time for VEs and I want them to do a good job for core races like they promised.

This goes back to what I’ve been saying about Dark Rangers…

It’s not enough to request Dark Rangers in a thread about High Elves.

Obviously this thread is different. But if the request is being made in a topic about something else it’s going to be glossed over.

Particularly if it is happening in a noisy venue.

Isn’t it time to get over what’s past and done?
Why are you dredging up things that are not relevant now?

This thread is about Blood Elf customization also. And iirc all you said before about Dark Rangers was in fact saying it’s not a valid request? Or was that someone else who said that?

Are you saying that you’re welcoming the new Alliance playable High Elves? :purple_heart:

This topic is about Blood and Void Elves, not high elves.

He was insisting that Blood Elves have never asked for anything but blue eyes. An example was given with brown skin and he didn’t believe it and wanted proof. Now he thinks it’s complaining.

I wish I had the short term memory of a goldfish.

True the title here is about Blood elves and Void elves.

present thread excluded. That being said, this still isn’t a thread about Dark Rangers becoming playable and the couple hundred posts about Dark Rangers currently in a thread that is 12,000 posts long also isn’t really conducive for a strong request.

As far as the Dark Ranger request…

First and Foremost… I have made the Dark Ranger request.

and second, I was referring to the disingenuous and half hearted request that was for more Blood Elf themes without specifically mentioning what those themes might be.

In fact, I’m the one who recommended such a thing to those posters.

They don’t make air quotes big enough to hold this.

And how they’re putting aside the void aesthetic for the high elf aesthetic, at this point, void elf is a name only :man_shrugging:

But you’re right, it’s not a high elf thread, despite the strong alluding to done by the blue themself.

Well he started out with a lie so…I really should know better than to go there.
Still…people need to let go of the past and move on.
