I did know. And you know what else I know?
Population numbers donât matter at all anymore in regards to a raceâs inclusion.

You right. Itâs in Blood of the Highborne:
âThe reputation of your Blood Knights has reached all the way to Durotar. I think that your new order has made the prospect of an alliance with the blood elves far more tempting." - Lorâthemar
and I canât agree with you on the point about Aethas. Aethas makes it clear that there are Sinâdorei who are going to join Dalaran whether they have Lorâthemars approval or not⊠and since heâs the Lord Regent thatâs quite the statement.
Also, Lorâthemar spends the whole novella grappling with whether or not to let the Sunreavers go. That means he knows saying âNoâ has repurcussions or he wouldnât be thinking about it so much.
Pandaren though.
Even if youâre assuming because theyâre the same race they canât be cross faction there is another race with a political division thatâs cross faction.
Not to mention Nightborne and Void Elves.

High elf posting in a High elf thread. Oh, if you donât think that Iâm a High elf, then please reread the racial descriptions on the Sinâdorei.

Weâre all aware that theyâre the same race, itâs just that âHigh Elfâ no longer refers to those who now go by âBlood Elfâ
The question is, does being the same race disqualify them from becoming an allied race?

To be completely honest, I donât think Blizzard should be doing repeat races for the ARs.

He didnât grapple with letting them go, he grappled with the consequences of it. Clearly Dalaran desired to renew the relationship with Silvermoon in a formal matter. Lorâthemar made it clear his concern was the political maneuvering and not merely the matter of them jonining.
As for the blood knights, it comes across as more desiring to mke an alliance with the blood elves.
If we beat this argument into glue, it wonât be enough until it is a powder.
Pandaren were designed to be neutral and were made to be available to both factions.
This is the only case where politics was ever used, and it is the only one it will ever be used since originally,it was a race meant for the alliance.
It is also a race that was NOT established as playable on another faction.
Stop bringing up the friggin pandas.
If you say Forsaken I am just going to sigh at you. Being undead makes you a new race all together.
Both of which are different races from their core ones.
Can we stop bringing up these same old flawed arguments a they have not been counterpointed already?
Nope.
Pandaren.
Just because something defeats your argument doesnât mean you get to, âCall it off.â
Not the Nightborne.
If you think glowie tattoos make you a completely different race, then glowie green eyes make you a completely different race.
No?
You canât get over the Pandaren hurdle because you canât get over the Pandaren hurdle.
Itâs just the end of the conversation.
If you want to have a different conversation then pick a different argument.

It doesnât defeat an argument when it ha several counter arguments against it listed above, which you often, and continuously ignore for the sake of pushing âbut pandarenâ argument.
There will never be another neutral race per Blizzard, which is another nail i the high elf coffin.
Besides the fact there is an entire area and storyline dedicated towards dictating how the nightborne are a different race from the night elves?
If it is stated they are a different race by the devs and the lore, they are a different race period.
sigh
Counter the argument then?
Waiting for a counter to my counter points.
Still waiting for a counter to my counter points.
Or are we going to do another thing where I go âhey what are the cultural differencesâ and people prattle off things that have been defunct since TBC?

I didnt know we were making the blood elves neutral. Guess both sides get green eyes then
The âputting your hands over your eyesâ technique doesnt work in forume, Callistus.
Pandaren argument is a bad meme, and if you want to continue repeating it like its some advantageous proof (its not)âŠgo ahead, ill just laugh at you from over here.
Make your own side look bad broski, scream out the same argument that has been done to death as if its something new.
Because at the end of the dayâŠthe pandaren argument doesnt mean anything since its a different system, which you cannot refute (unless you can play maghar orcs on Alliance) and we know how Blizzard is with consistency with their systems.
Oh the lack of self-awareness is overwhelming.
the low pop argument is brought up time and time again by development, not just antis. still void elves get around the population problem because they are implied to be able to bolster their numbers
oh, and they are distinct from high elves
Where?
How?
