It isnât written but thatis what has been observed. Unless youâre significantly altered, the AR stays on the same side as its core race. Given Ion was concerned about blurred faction lines,it is clear this is an issue internally on how to make high elves distinct from their blood elven counterparts without breaking lore, or stirring up controversy. HenceâŠvoid elves

Give High Elves Alexandraâs character model and Tattoos and theyâll be plenty different
Then we already would have our hard answer of no. This group has already discussed That its is not blizzards interest to say no, for various reasons. I am an adult, I can handle it tho.
Itâs merely an observable pattern at this point.
that is the story of the blood elves. the alliance high elf story diverged in the second war.
I think this is a huge issue those opposing high elves donât understand. You are confusing 2 different groups of people. To make things clear think of the alliance high elves as tauren and blood elves are gnomes.
They are separate people. Sure they were once the same people but not anymore. For all intents and purposes they are as different ideologically as any 2 races in WoW.

While I am sure you would not mind being told no, some would not, and would leave. shrug
Except it didnât until after WC 3, and then nothing was said until what? WotLK where you have a group of high elves being against the sunreaversâŠand then that was it after MoP. There is no real high elf story.
Except they arenât given Vereesa stated she would have been a blood elf if Rhonin did not exist or her children for that matter.
The ideologies we are are different are small, and those with significantly different ideologies were written out(quelâdanil).
So it would require significantly more writing, and I am unsure if Blizzard desires such a thing given they arenât a central focus of any storyline.

Well I wonât leave because like I said, Night elves are my favorite race by far in game, and I enjoy other aspects of the game as well. Iâd rather see improvements to core races amongst other things⊠or maybe money thrown at a better story team. Lol
But I realize this is an issue that keeps others subbed. I understand but itâs not a one dimensional game, and Enjoying the game shouldnât hinge on an AR.
Problem being the SC is a small portion of a small population.
Some High Elves that rallied around Vareesa cause they have no actual leader whoâs sole purpose in life is to prevent Blood Elf funny business in Dalaran. The NEUTRAL city of Dalaran ⊠not prevent funny business in Azeroth. JUST DALARAN.
Iâm still waiting for someone to tell me how youâre going to resolve the High Elves losing access to the Sunwell if they were playable? Itâs not a neutral zone. Itâs a Blood Elf zone that theyâre allowing High Elves access to ⊠or is that another part of the lore youâre willing to tear apart for your pretty tmog?
I wish Bliz would just kill them off or make them Void Elves and end this debate because thereâs no way to implement them as playable that wonât be another backhand to game-lore and Iâm tired of lore not mattering.
For the whole they look the same topic and they canât make them look different because they already âestablishedâ how they look let me tell you about he kul tirans.
Before BFA they all looked exactly the same as every other human. With BFA however they now have a variety of body proportions. We have thin ones. We have big ones. we have normal sized ones. They are all genetically the same. For their player model they gave us the big kul tiran model.
They can do that for high elves. Change their model because in realistic terms the entirety of the race doesnât have the same body shape. For those that want to argue about the blood elves not getting access to the new model for high elves all I can tell you is oh well that isnât the model blizzard chose for you so deal with it.

Iâm sorry, I didnât know you worked at Blizzard and could say with any certainty that the threadâs being mass flagged.

the silver covenant may be small compared to other races but it is large enough to be the size of a full military regiment apparently. That is multiple battalions worth of soldiers and going off of real world numbers that is several hundred in each battalion usually close to a thousand.

YesâŠbecause offending a huge portion of your player base by giving the alliance access to the standard model, AND a new model would go over so very well with the Horde who have access to only one.
Let alone the fact of the matter is high elves came from quelâthalas like every other blood elf, so why is there a sudden change in the appearance specific to high elves?
That would be a backhand to the lore which is your second issue.
Or you can follow your advice and
and be satisfied with void elves.
Citation for the number of SC followers?

LOL.
OK dude. YOu live in your head canon wonderland. The lore and every site going says otherwise.
But you do you.
Well Void Elves prove they donât need significant changes, although it makes sense in their case since they were literally Blood Elves up until 5 minutes ago
I suspect Ion knew that High Elves would need more development to get a proper introduction, and gave the answer he gave purely in defense of Void Elves. His response of, âNo plans in the near futureâ may indicate that either now just isnât the time for them, or they want to creat a proper setup first
Or maybe Ion really is firmly against playable Alliance High Elves, who knows?
I donât know how to respond to this without getting a forum suspension.
That is the only way the thread can get closed by the community which it is the community closing the thread. If blizzard was doing it they would permanently lock the thread. I believe it even says âthis thread has been temporarily closed due to a large number of community flagsâ
Considering it keeps being done every time the temporary lock ends that is indeed what mass flagging is. The thread itself doesnât break any rules of the forums and is completely legitimate. The community is shutting out the thread and it does not have that right. The community doesnât get to decide what topics are allowed to be discussed. So long as the topic does not break forum rules it is okay to exist. Blizzard should start getting more heavy handed and deal with the people flagging it.

How do you know itâs the community doing it?
I am just going off of what we see and what we have been told by the NPCs.
I would lean towards being firmly against it given his offhand comment afterwards about the Horde waiting for you. I donât believe he will ever give a firm NO!, but I do not believe he is actually entertaining the notion.
YeahâŠthey kind of do. Other forum users should not have to deal with constantly high elf topic spam. Now if its a legitimate topic, like the megathread, I am in agreement with you, but I cannot agree with the entire notion of stating the community has no say so in what is discussed.
because it is literally impossible for it to be anyone else. It physically canât be anything else. If it was it would break the laws of physics because something outside of reality would be causing it.
It literally tells us the thread is shut down due to a large number of COMMUNITY flags.

In Legion the Silver Covenant fielded one battalion. Depending on who you ask a battalion is usually between 100-800 men, with the usual number around 500-600.
do you deploy your entire military to a single battle?
