Few in number for sure, but theyâre around. Enough for Blizz to occasionally drop a few in as nameless npcâs at least.
Iâd agree with the population argument if there were exactly 5 High Elves left canonically, and we knew their names and exactly where to find them, but its still up in the air with High Elves
Their population is likely comparable to other races that are already playable
You are not rquipped with the knowledge to make such a statement.
Exclusivity, diversity, creates interest in the game.
High elves would not gain them nearly as much money as creating say, sanâlayn, or ogres, or undead night elves.
Mhmm, go on, tell me what your lost on, let me aid you.
Or do you just have an agenda, yeah thatâs probably it.
Their population is canonically nonexistent. Theyâre rare even in Dalaran.
Yes my agenda is to keep a Horde race out of your hands. you got me. I was trying to mask the transparency.
My agenda is to keep boring, throwaway races out of the Alliance. Want to meet in secret? Iâll bring the knives and cloaks.
Really?
Does adding more things into a game and then putting them behind a paywall not equal more money? Geez, better go back to get the business degree to really understand where money gets spent.
Who says they canât do that too?
This is a basical psychology pitfall.
If its an idea you are against, then you deem to place negative actions on that group as a whole.
If its an idea you are for, then you deem to place negative actions on specific individuals to try and distance them away from the core.
Your plots are uncovered, deceiver!
Yes, we call that âspiteâ and âI donât want the other kids to play with my toysâ
Atta boy, ya figured it out.
The same could be said about the Darkspear, they were driven to near extinction twice, werenât they?
Void Elves didnât need large numbers to be playable, either
How many DKâs and DHâs are there in lore? See why this argument doesnât convince me?
But you just clearly admit that they are the Hordes toys, so why should they come to the Alliance?
if your toy was large, obnoxious and damaged the other toys by mere presence, then yes.
I call that protecting the quality of the game. Something i said before you arenât interested in. You think money is the end all be all. Sorry, some things canât be bought with money. Intangible qualities you canât physically hold.
And what makes you think that having a race copied from Horde to Alliance will fix the progression issues? Unless they come with obscenely OP racials, it will do nothing other than possibly ruin the population balance (because a 3,5 itâs negligable gap specially since it was perfectly fine when Alliance had a 5-8% advantage in the past).
And well, considering that almost every person Iâve seen asking for high elves have as much pve progression as me (which is 0), that should tell you how that would affect the fact that Alliance players are not getting things done (it most likely wonât).
Itâs what Iâve observed to be the case after 7 years of being involved in this debate and after seeing posts here and on other forums and the polls being made.
I imagine you didnât speak to every blizzcon attendee, since that would be essentially impossible.
As opposed to âITâS NOT FAIR! That other kid got the toy I WANT! Make them give it to me!â
I think we need to tone down the hostility on both sides, hereâŠ
Giving a race to Alliance solves nothing but boost numbers through alts.
Darkspear have an entire island chain to themselves, and are quite clearly prolific. Demon Hunters and DKs are hero classes, not a race. Their races are prolific, despite them being limited in number.
Dks are even recruiting come Legion.
High Elves are less than 10% of a 90% reduced people. Thereâs maybe a 100 individuals.
The same could be said about any allied race, really
