Easy to say that, but then you look at how much they are failing with the factions. I get it, it is a faction based game, but the thing is, theyâre not keeping it as a faction based game when they canât even keep the factions within check. Lets face it, in BfA, they failed. The entire look towards factions make no sense. The story within each faction makes no sense.

It has been making sense since the launch of the game. One flop is not going to change the fact that factions have always been distinct regardless if thereâs a war between them or not, thatâs the entire gist of the game.

Right. Is that the reason why High Elf NPCâs keep popping up with the Alliance as if they also come off the Assembly line too?
You really want to make the case using NPCs that have had absolutely no relevance for 15 years?
And personally as someone who LOVES Blood Elves and Void Elves I feel like Void Elves have this unique story to be told, but fail in any sense of rivalry with Sinâdorei, preferring Horde myself and almost exclusively playing Blood Elves until I unlocked Void Elves I feel like Iâd enjoy targeting HEâs in pvp or rooting for cutscenes where we take them down.
If anything they add to factions not take away imo, and then additionally they would add to VEâs too because maybe we will see a unique friendship come up akin to NB and BEs.
I would really Ive said this before lol but Iâd live for the Easter egg dialogues between Void Elves and HEâs working on various projects together the way there was those Easter egg dialogues in Xiabala with NB and BEâs
I like my void elves I came back asap when I found out they can be dks my fave mdps class ever .
Tbh IDC if ppl hate on us void elves thatâs just their opinion but we are here to stay and be fabulous

Why do you like your void elf?
I would. Because remember, there was also supposed to be limitations in regards to NPCâs as well to keep within that faction identity. But that has not been the case.
And here is also the other things:
- Is adding High Elves for the Alliance going to hurt the faction identity? No, it isnât.
- Is adding High Elves for the Alliance going to hurt the faction stories? No, it isnât.

Give void elves purples eyes blizzard, you cowards
No, because some remnants happen to be used by blizzard sometimes (mostly as stepping stones for humans, mind you). Factions are still distinct because their playerbases make it so, thatâs one of the biggest aspects of it. And it should remain that way.
I feel they dont fit with the Alliance Lore Also I feel they are a quick compromise based on looks. So we are of opposing opinions, so no need to argue. I agree to disagree.
And you think that High Elves are going to ruin that distinction to the playerbase.
And how did we ever come to that logic?

Can you please finish your posts completely before moving on? I really donât want to have to reply to things I could have replied to earlierâŠ
Yes, blood elves are a key race of the Horde. To see the exact same race frolicking around but with blue eyes, would be damaging.
And donât you dare to bring in pandaren, I really donât want to have to point out that thereâs a whole difference between designing a race to be specifically neutral and making a race neutral after it has been established for 14 years⊠oops, I did it anyway /s.
Irrelevant, the argument is not about faction stories, is about factions remaining distinct. Donât move the goalpost.
Because they are the exact same people with different eye color.

My name is better
They do give Alliance a void exclusive race which is kinda cool too imo ValarĂan , and kind of gives a cool aspect in the sense of Iâve always been Horde and nothing else has made me want to roll an Alliance previously. Always been a BE fan myself, and I donât think HEs would pull people like me to Alliance Bcz Iâd be apt to have stayed Horde, they kind of fill this niche for people who like power hungry ambition driven type people.
But I respectfully disagree of course on the stance of Void Elves, and I still admire and pursue / lend my voice to the Pro HE argument and understand why pro HEs would be disappointed by VEs heh

EXCEPT THEY ARE NOT THE SAME PEOPLE ANYMORE!
When Kaelâthas Sunstrider renamed his people, they also pledge to be no longer be High Elven. The High Elves that are within the Alliance, are more set on different group of people now, as they do not share the same priorities as the Blood Elves. And also have different behaviours.

I donât dislike them I have two (for different reason then accepting the compromise), I just donât accept them as the compromise and the lore that came with them. If people like them awesome, If people like the way they look awesome! If people want to play them awesome!

You can use bold caps all you want but it wonât change the fact that they are indeed the exact same people.
The biggest connector of all Thalassian elves, the Sunwell, is something that still affects them, and blizzard has made no move or given a single hint that this will change, specially after they established that Alleria felt the impact on the Sunwell when Kaelâthas decided to nuke it from orbit while she was literally worlds apart.
Let me put it in simpler terms:
Kissing up to humans doesnât make them a different race.
Wrong, and wrong. Kaelâthas didnât rename them, and even if he did, a name doesnât change the race. And second, the High elves that had dealt with the Scourge were the ones that decided to pick on the name Sinâdorei.
Honoring their fallen doesnât make them a different race.
