Now that 90% of players will look the same

Can we finally do away with the faction divide? With Everyone playing Blue eyed, fair skinned elves. It seems kind of superfluous at this point.

We wound up holding hands and working together in BFA, And In Shadowlands we’re going to do the same.

At this point, the Horde and Alliance divide serves no purpose other than to cause an imbalance. The superior faction will always be the one with more guilds and players.

With the most popular race in the game being equally available across both factions, it would be best to do away with the faction divide entirely. That way anyone can play any race, and still have access to 100% of the High End PvE community.

Imbalance solved. No broken guilds. No forced transfers.

(Commentary): Honestly, if they removed Void Elves and Blood Elves and just added High Elves as a neutral race like the Pandaren, I don’t think I’d care at this point so long as the Alliance’s elves couldn’t be Demon Hunters (excluding Night Elves, obviously, I just mean Thalassian elves). But the faction divide itself should stay.

No.

Not everyone will be playing them. My green Night Elf will be staying a green Night Elf, my Blood Elf will be keeping her green eyes and when I create a Void Elf she will be blue (and have a blue inspired name).

The Alliance/Horde divide is one of the founding pillars of WoW and having faction/race/class distinctions adds complexity, variety and flavor to the game.

Please stop trying to make the game even more simplistic and flat.

Cititaion needed that everybody or 90% of players are or will be playing Blood/Void elves. :thinking:

while helfers were begging for high elves, i studied the blade

when helfers were making topic after topic, i mastered the block chain

while the forums wasted time flagging posts, i cultivated inner strength

and now that the elfpocalypse is upon us and the high elves are at the gate, you have the audacity to ask me for help?

90% is clearly just being silly, but Blood Elves are the most popular Horde race by a wide margin. Void elves are also the most popular Alliance allied race at the moment. People like their Elves. And there’s probably plenty of Horde players on that faction but not really fond of the more monstrous races.

No. The whole idea behind for Elves was that they were Blood Elves ON THE ALLIANCE.

(Commentary): I may have purchased it for some experimental research into Mechanization. The Forsaken are well supplied in organic parts for research.

This universe has been about teamwork since warcraft 3. Most major story arcs have a focus on teamwork.

Since the ending of Warcraft 3, There should have been no silly factions.

Hyperbole to bring humor into a more legitimate problem.

(Observation): Let’s be honest with ourselves for a moment. If ever there was a race that should have been neutral between the factions because they could pull it off and maintain that feeling of faction pride and animosity, it was the Thalassian Elves. Pandaren have no reason to fight each other, no grudges, but High Elves and Blood Elves? You can’t put those two in the same room for one minute unsupervised without returning to find blood everywhere and two dead elves.

The “faction conflict” has done nothing but hold the story back for WoW’s entire existence. It’s stupid, contrived, makes no sense in the story (“breaking the cycle”, anyone?), and serves no purpose beyond artificially dividing the playerbase and trying to use manufactured tribalism to drive emotions rather than attempting a halfway decent story.

It’s not a founding pillar, it’s a ball and chain.
