Talk about an Alliance between enemies.
The Same Orcs who obliterated Lordaeron are the same orcs the Forsaken swore allegiance to.
Not ones worth taking seriously. I legitimately want everyone to get a good experience from the game. I donât think thereâs a finite amount of fun in this digital world of pretend.
If your idea of fun involves griefing others though yeah, take a long walk off a short pier. Hope thatâd go without saying.

It seems the ones who think this about night elf fans seems to be night elf fans more than anyone else.

And people wonder why the stereotype regarding Night Elf players being toxic exists.

In my experience, its edgy Sylvanas loyalist, or Horde players who canât bring themselves to admit the Horde has done anything wrong ever.
Horde player is toxic
crickets
Night Elf player returns it

Honestly there is no shortage of reprehensible Forsaken players. But on the story forms, specifically. Eh, yeah⊠Nelf fans have a reputation, to put it diplomatically.
Not all. Of course. Iâve had great conversations with Nelf players here. But thereâs some, certain ones I donât even bother responding to at this point.

I think the funny this is the Forsaken have been my favorite Horde race for awhile. So BfA was double threat for me. I didnât win no matter which side I played.
But you know, Nelf players are toxic and Forsaken players arenât⊠not sure what that makes me, but I suppose thatâs right on brand with my reputation here.
Just throwing it out there, but if Blizzard took population numbers seriously the Darkspear tribe would be extinct. Theyâve gone through like⊠Five near-apocalyptic events in recent history.
- Chased into the sea by the Gurubashi after being expelled from their first home.
- Had their second home invaded by Kul Tiras and then murlocs. This home sank into the sea shortly after.
- Their third home was bombarded into oblivion by Daelin Proudmooreâs cannons, forcing a total evacuation.
- When they eventually returned to the ruins of their third home Zalazane went insane and mind controlled half their population, then spent the next decade or so sending raiding parties to their fourth home to kidnap new victims in the night.
- Eventually get back their third home for a second time only to be expelled from their now fifth home of Orgrimmar by Garrosh and had whole groups lined up to be executed.
Yet the Darkspear are still here. Still contributing large forces to the Horde and their massive world wars.
How are the Darkspear still around? No idea but they are.

Oh hordeâs done plenty bad, Iâm not denying that, nor am I denying that horde players can be toxic. Some have legit complaints though just like nelf fans do.
Frankly everyone who likes something about WoW has a legitimate gripe.
Iâm not trying to downplay the idea that night elves have been pooped on this expac and have had little to show for it. That doesnât mean that horde players who are tired of their faction being beat to jelly paste with the villain bat over and over again donât have a less legit complaint.

Uh like I said Iâve had pleasant conversations with Nelf fans. Frequently. Just not on topics I frequent here. My first post here was saying trying to measure dissatisfaction is asinine.
I do frankly get annoyed when Iâm told Forsaken disappointment is incomparable to Nelfs. Like - also got a city destroyed. Only instead of bad development we got - well none really.
After Legion which showcased Undead characters that ran the alignment gambit pretty much to a man every NPC was, at least in one case literally, a puppy killing level bad guy. And those that werenât was Voss, who just joined recently and Zellimg who joined and then died even faster.
They donât have another Forsaken character to point to because Windrunner and the Undercity was our main shtick. And thatâs gone. So weâre left with a big oleâ bowl of uncertainty.
Like when this launched if youâd asked me if Voss should lead the Forsaken Iâd be very confused. But now
âWelp, sheâs literally the only well written character so⊠by default I guessâ.

On the other hand, a part of me cant help but wonder if a slight part of the problem with the NEs is that they were sort of placed on this unreasonable pedestal in the beginning; so they had a hell of a lot further to drop if they got pooped on.
I mean, conceptually, if Blizz didnât wail on them, there is no PC race more perfect and âspecialâ in this game than the NEs. They are a thrice blessed race of ageless people, gifted with good health; long life; amazing physical abilities; and immense magical potential. They are beloved by several demigods and the âchosen peopleâ of the only apparent ârealâ deity in all of the Warcraft Universe. They far outstrip the Draenei in this power fantasy, because the NEs have âevolvedâ beyond the petty reliance of Arcane Technology; and the Draenei covet false idols in some magic space Chandeliers that anyone can worship. The only thing stopping them from being truly âperfectâ is the immortality that was stripped from them ⊠which they should totally get back btw.
Its ⊠a bit overwhelming tbhâŠ

If youâre talking about night elves as a faction then, well⊠I doubt it. Everyone knows that Blizzard have no guts about letting Alliance be aggressive.
If youâre talking about angry night elf players starting pvp fights in newbie zones or questing areas, this is nothing new.
To think. All this coming from a group of Dark Trolls who stumbled upon a well of arcane charged water. Maybe said diety led them to it? Iâm not sure.
I know that Iâve sort of taken the place of Lena, but the Draenei are still in game you know.

Well in fairness the Draenei are portrayed as the worst pilots in the universe. And have failed to not be murdered on multiple worlds because their knee jerk reaction to a rampaging tyrannosaurus would probably be a kind greeting.
I sorta get the sense they were less the last, best hope and more the uh, last one. Why do you think the Naaru globed onto Azeroth so thoroughly as to inspire a religion?

The Draenei are impressive, but when you have a literal race that culturally moved beyond the very primitive Arcane Technology that the Draenei still rely heavily on ⊠yeah, its pretty apparent who is more âspecialâ. Thats not even including the whole âChosen Peopleâ of the only âRealâ god in the entire universe thing. The Kaldorei have become so enlightened and evolved they are one with nature; the Draenei still have to butcher nature to thrive as a people. Which is why they must remain contained on those two islands, away from where they can hurt nature.
Those primitives still relying on that abomination tech ⊠pshh. Filthy savages.

Yeah. Humbos. Did you not notice to humie leading the Army of Light?
Whining about elves in a game that has a faction built around how âspecialâ humans are is kind of hilarious.
