And yet a lot of people do, poor things.
I agree it’s good to have it all written and stuff but when things are changed in-game depictions in the current expansion, I kinda just go eh to chronicles and use whatever I’m told in game.
More fabulous, in fact.

I wish they would retcon the entirety of BFA.

Thanks. Now that you mention it, I may have seen you talk about this in the past. But I forgot a lot of stuff in my absence from the forums.

Like any lore it should be considered canon to that time it was written.
Anything that comes after that effectively changes it is what changes it.
Which circles back to what I said when Lore Matters until it’s changed.

I mean… The Original Death Knights are nothing like our Death Knights.
Death Knights are dead humans with a Shadow Council Member shoved into them.

Too bad I was told my “bad attitude” wouldn’t make me attractive.

Well. It’s also not a sentence long opinion either. That doesn’t help.
I think the developer intent is that these are High Elves, be happy with your lives.
We’ll see if the forums and the powers that be can pervert that accidentally or intentionally.
But we can infer that Illidan was making Varedis and Leotheras around the same time as the player character demon hunters, perhaps a little earlier than the players.
The original Death Knights were made by a completely different group decades apart from each other. The only similarity they share is necrotic magic.
I would argue that the two situations aren’t exactly analogous to each other.

Eh. I disagree with, “Ignore Lore.”
I think it’s pretty obvious, with a ton of cosmology planned expansions coming up that the “Cosmology” portion of WoW is gonna get smashed.
But I doubt the, “We revised the history of Azeroth” part will be changed really.
If there is something in there that limits them then they’ll change it. But the vast majority of the books aren’t going to limit them.
I didn’t say anything about “ignore lore”.
It’s still not odd that the prototype models and the mass produced models are different.
Sure, New Lore in WoW supersedes previous lore. But Chronicles was written way after the introduction of Blood Elves / High elves in WoW and Night Elves for instance.
Some stuff is gameplay. So when you’re arguing that everything on the racial select screen is a different race, even if some of them are “Humans” and “Other humans” then that doesn’t really hold much weight. Nor does, “They look different!” when the lore’s been written after their appearances were made.

He’s more fabulous than Night Elves.

Yeah. I used to have a weird stance where I was against belf skins on velves as a solution to helves, but for them so I could be a better mini-Alleria.
Now, I’m content with my mini-Alleria of course, while I’m also glad with the way SL is going in terms of customization, at least we pretty much get the High Elf Wayfarers taking the name Void Elf.
It’s not the ideal total package situation I was hoping for, but it’s a lot more than I thought I could get to be honest.

What I wanted most is for Void Elves to be retconned to draw from elves that were already with the Alliance

Probably the best we could have hoped for realistically.
And at least it finally explains whether or not those wayfarers and scholars could become new void elves!
