I have to admit, I been a supporter for Alliance High Elves since back in Vanilla, I know it’s a very touchy subject, but as a fan since the RTS, when WC2 introduced Alliance being a coalition of different races I was in love…
We had Gnomes, Dwarves, Elves and ofcourse Humans all fighting together.
I still think Void Elves, while great to few was a huge miss on Blizzards part to truely make the Alliance complete. I still think High Elves can be added to the Alliance through the Allied Race System and with Exiles Reach.
My biggest disappointment was High Elves, Especially Silver Covenant just got pushed into certain customisations and basically you have to play dress up and pretend… Same to say with Wildhammer Dwarves…
No matter what the people say you’ll always be a Blood/Void Elf in cosplay…
I just need to say when a Race has been requested for what, 16 years now, in all forums, NA, EU, Reddit and MMO-Champ, sometimes I think why doesn’t Blizzard just listen to its customers.
My solution, Blizzard scraps the Allied Race System and adds a sub race system, so when creating your character you select Elf then you’ll have the option for Night Elf, Void Elf and High Elf. Will tidy up the character create screen too.
In short, I support High Elves, I support all new races be new or reskin, I’ve never heard of a game having too much choice in Race, Class, Customisations ever be a bad thing.
