True, but itâs a good indicator that it is a popular opinion. It wouldâve never reached that amount of upvotes otherwise.
Not to mention big social media players like T&E, Bellular, the people at Wowhead like Perculia, The Red Shirt Guy (I think?) have supported High Elves in the past. Even Ythisens who was a CM said he didnât mind the idea and he mains a Blood Elf Paladin. High Elves are also the only allied race to be mentioned during a Q&A because Blizzard knew how popular of a request it has been. They also knew they would get a lot of backlash, you could see it in Loreâs face when Ion started talking lol
Then you canât use his quote as an excuse to get rid of the possibility of High Elves on the Alliance because you have a head canon of âVoid Elves recruiting more so High Elves arenât required or are all turnedâ.
You only solve the Void Elf population issue, you do not address Alliance High Elf request at all.
huh? but then no groovy half elfs. no tuvokâs vulcan sister or tâpolâs cute vulcan brother. no scruffy bearded, shorter elf ears and elf eyebrows, ranger man with kalec blue hair or gnome pink. no asian elf with a long asian braid cascading down her back.
blizzard also knew people who dont care about the lore will like void elves as proven by their popularity and be satisfied. whereas people who dont like void elves because they kill the alliance high elf dream still persist in using lore as their shield even as they ignore the gigantic bits of it they dont like, void elves were never meant to be comrpomise for them as they are seen as unreasonable and a tiny minority
like the bit where the high elves left the alliance, joined the horde and blizzard decided adding them a second time would be the height of redundancy in a faction based game
Which would beeeee?
Vareesa has explicitly called Silvermoon her home.
Why would she attack the same place and her people?
This seems contrived and would be a terrible story.
It would be just petty and definitive enough to make me laugh is all I am saying. I have always said that High Elves wouldnât have been an issue if they had been eradicated from the alliance from the get go instead of constantly show up.
