The High Elf Love Thread 🥰

[Drede-cairne (Drede)]

That was your argument.

We’ve been comparing actual factions and when you look at it, High Elves are perfectly viable when compared to other, already playable races.

Sure.

You die on that hill.

What’s odd? When you present alliance allied elves from each expansion as being different elves, that’s like saying the ranks of the Kor’kron can be counted by adding up all the kor’kron members from each expansion. Many of them will be the same individuals continuing their service.

Im pointing out that they are putting Alliance High Elves in Alliance story somewhere every expansion. Adding more each expansion. at the same time your sitting arguing they are not in the Alliance.

[Awz-wyrmrest-accord]

Points at high elves.

Points at other races with smaller populations.

stop strawmanning

Modern high elves are a rare sight, and are commonly mistaken for blood elves. In consequence, there are very few high elves left on Azeroth today. High elves did not gather in any significant numbers and are a very small group of individuals. Indeed, modern high elves cannot even truly be said to have a culture—only a past filled with glory and regret. As a people, the high elves are all but extinct: the remnants of the remnants of a fallen race.

caydiem quote as well

In short, High Elves are not playable because there are very few true “High Elves” left – far less so than Gnomes.

Except this is what I was responding to.

Yeah we have. You just don’t agree with it for whatever reason.

To that I say; no, you die on that hill.

[Hecatone-burning-legion (Hecatone)]

Except skipping WoD and, what 4 and a siege engine in BFA?

[Valarían-hydraxis]

BFA, there are more High Elves in Stormwind and the rift since BFA started

[Awz-wyrmrest-accord]

those are tied up with the void elves, and only appear if you unlocked void elves. their implication is obvious and confirmed out of game by steve danuser

[Hecatone-burning-legion (Hecatone)]

the rift

Wonder what they’re doing there?

And you mean to tell me that they aren’t just the one’s that were already in Storm Wind moving around?

[Hecatone-burning-legion (Hecatone)]

They’re looking to end their dependence on the Sun Well, and thus the Horde.

[Tarrok-thorium-brotherhood (Tarrok)]

at the same time your sitting arguing they are not in the Alliance.

What?

The only group I’ll contest is I don’t think you can straight up assume that the full force of Allerian Stronghold would stay with the Alliance as they did not make the decision to split from their people like the other high elves, and that many may have wanted to return home for one reason or another.

I’m just saying that repeated use of High Elves in expansions (which is definitely lessening as time goes on) doesn’t mean much in terms of numbers, especially when you’re doing things like counting one group from one expansion three times. Alliance Vanguard contains both Wintergard Keep and the Valiance Expedition.

the Sorceresses, and the mage trainer all in portal handlers, The Wayfarer High elves that come from Stormwind into the rift.

[Drede-cairne (Drede)]

Except this is what I was responding to.

So you’re snipping the conversation to try and prove a point. Neat.

I will restate again then.

We compared player race populations that number in the hundreds to thousands.

Void Elves are a few dozen scholers on a rock literally referred to as an elite crack squad.

Draenei are a few hundred as stated in Rise of the Horde.

Lightforged where almost wiped out as stated in the intro quest.

Darkspear are listed as almost extinct in their racial description.

Mag’har populations are up in the air.

Gnomes are a few thousand at best.

The numbers ‘argument’ is dead on arrival.

[Hecatone-burning-legion (Hecatone)]

And are they meant to represent an army of Alliance high elves, or are those just moving around? In this case to where Void Elves were made.

[Awz-wyrmrest-accord]

Alliance Vanguard

The Alliance Vanguard oversees the forces of the Alliance that have established themselves throughout Northrend. Spearheaded by the Valiance Expedition, the Alliance Vanguard consists of the following factions:

Valiance Expedition - The main army of the Alliance in Northrend, unified under King Varian Wrynn’s command.

Explorers’ League - An organization dedicated to researching the origin of the dwarven race.

The Frostborn - Having recently befriended the Explorers’ League, the frost dwarves have agreed to join the Alliance.

The Silver Covenant - A militant faction of the Kirin Tor, these high elves have recently teamed up with the Vanguard.

Their Horde counterpart is the Horde Expedition.

they team up temporarily, just like the sunreavers did with the horde expedition, then return to dalaran at the conclusion of wrath. they like to put way more into, just like everything else

[Hecatone-burning-legion (Hecatone)]

So you’re snipping the conversation to try and prove a point. Neat.

You snipped a conversation to prove a point. Neat. You even deliberately misquoted to make it look like I responded to a different part of your post. Then complained about exactly what you were doing. And to be fair, the rest of it ignored any of our points anyway, kinda more of the same.

Also I don’t think I made an argument, I just boomeranged your weak jab.

[Valarían-hydraxis]

And are they meant to represent an army of Alliance high elves, or are those just moving around? In this case to where Void Elves were made.

They are there to represent High Elves In Stormwind.

[Tarrok-thorium-brotherhood (Tarrok)]

We compared player race populations that number in the hundreds to thousands.

Are there any actual solid Blizzard provided numbers you can point to?

Because if no, what’s the point in arguing this?

[Saraslam-frostmourne]

Why on Azeroth are people using population as an argument?

Numbers is the worse argument anyone could use.

[Awz-wyrmrest-accord]

They are there to represent High Elves In Stormwind.

oh yes ofc! they are there to represent a MASSIVE, UNSEEN alliance high elf population

[Valarían-hydraxis]

Yah its called game scale look it up.
