Hah. Some of you can try and rationalize it all you want but the fact remains that these Alliance elves will be the real High Elves if Blizzard didn’t pander to the Horde just to attract more players to the Horde, that’s what would’ve been on the Alliance in the first place.
Blood Elf never fit with the original Horde aesthetic and it was always a ploy just to attract more people there, it worked in getting more people to play Horde but just because it worked doesn’t necessarily mean it was right. Something else could’ve worked as well it didn’t have to be a knock off of High Elves. When that update hits I feel that will be a correction of that timeline.
