The High Elf Love Thread 🥰

[Tarrok-thorium-brotherhood (Tarrok)]

Is there more to that than the one Q&A where he made the joke that was basically “Put your feedback on the forums, we’d love to know what you think. It’s high elves”

[Callistus-wyrmrest-accord]

I don’t think that’s the first time they’ve acknowledged it’s the number one request. But it’s time for me to sleep.

Thanks for picking up the citation though. Also, yeah, he’s making a joke that he knows what the biggest request will be, but that doesn’t invalidate it so I’m not sure what you’re trying to say there.

[Tarrok-thorium-brotherhood (Tarrok)]

Well, not quite a citation of anything other than how loud the request is.

[Zootopia-moon-guard]

I don’t think that’s the first time they’ve acknowledged it’s the number one request

theyve never acknowledged it as a number one request

polls if anything prove that high elf fans flock to these polls like crows to carrion and that internet polls are a piss poor way of deciding anything

[Callistus-wyrmrest-accord]

That video is before Ion’s Q&A in April. (The one before that was largely ignored.) and so it was before the request got loud.

[Tarrok-thorium-brotherhood (Tarrok)]

It’s been loud for years.

He cracked a joke, I don’t think it’s a sign that the request is anything other than contentious.

Besides, it was a dev statement, and we all know how much you trust those.

[Callistus-wyrmrest-accord]

It’s acknowledgement that it’s the most requested race. Which was the point of the original post.

[Tarrok-thorium-brotherhood (Tarrok)]

Nope.

It implies that it’s one of the most requested races, but it’s not a confirmation of anything concrete.

[Hecatone-burning-legion (Hecatone)]

You brought up what the devs have said. I responded. It’s funny to see you try and dodge when your ‘argument’ gets smashed.

the request isnt loud at all. its just the length and number of the threads creating the illusion of numbers and a mass movement where none really exists. what are we 15 regulars here?

always remember, the vast majority of people do not visit forums to express their opinion. only the most passionate on a topic will care to comment. none of us are representative of anything

[Renotarshil-malganis (Renotarshil)]

I am.

I represent the church of being fabulous.

I don’t know, I think I’ve decided that I’ll take my turn speaking for the Alliance. The Alliance says, “No!” to playable Alliance high elves.

[Licynia-sargeras]

They are Horde and their story is tied to the Horde. All they have to do is update the story for the elves that aren’t Blood Elves and make them playable…

I think Playable High Elves and developing their story would even help give the Blood Elf story the jolt it desperately needs. I mean, some people in the thread refer to them as “race traitors” and people who “abandoned Silvermoon,” an ignition of tension between the Elves who stood by Silvermoon vs. the Elves who stood by the Alliance would make for an interesting subplot

it was a joke. just a joke. nothing more than a joke. an acknowledgement of forum spam

void elves fill that role now. if you want to play a high elf, then roll a blood elf. they ARE high elves

[Midare-area-52 (Midare)]

I really don’t see how having people that abandoned their own, and sat on their rears for decades while those of them that actually honored their fallen and fought for their survival instead of depending on someone else… those people becoming autonomous enough to become murder hobos, will hell the story of the blood elves at all.

If anything it just says “hey, why did you bother getting things fixed? You could have hidden behind the humans and suceed regardless like us”.

[Guzzle-barthilas]

You need to clean this fel in your eyes before you can call yourself a “pure” high elf.

Oh well, I guess the golden eyed blood elves are good then?

[Midare-area-52 (Midare)]

Oh hey, is this weird obsession with some non-existant “purity” again.

[Tarrok-thorium-brotherhood (Tarrok)]

So what’s up with all the people pushing the usual hot buttons that have suddenly decided to join the topic in the last 24 hours and all have single digit post counts?

[Masurao-lightbringer]

Aren’t Blood Elves addicted to bloodthistle while High Elves are not?

[Sarallesta-shattered-hand]

You need to clean this fel in your eyes before you can call yourself a “pure” high elf. The pure high elves aren’t playable but they are part of the alliance whether you like it or not.

You know Blood Elves are technically pure High Elves. The Fel, yeah, the green eyes isn’t a sign of Fel corruption, but infact, the radiation effects of the Fel.
