yeah, we were invited to them but we had our own campaign going on at the time.
That’s part of it tho I am not gonna say I am wasn’t guilty of it myself but nelves always put there own guild campaigns first and human rpers from my experience tend not too they tend to do bigger multiple guild campaigns
I also feel that human Rpers are more in sync with there lore than nelves are, their fanon stuff anyways
I don’t see that as a bad thing… I don’t see how that contributes to the decline of an entire community of people. Big events like that are honestly not fun to do all the time. It’s spammy and impersonal. Just because people kept to their own guild isn’t the reason a large number of Nelf Rpers quit.
This hasn’t been my experience, and I have been in many human guilds.
I mean, sure, since a large number of nelf RPers are purple humans.
The average human RPer isn’t pretending they’re a woman who is also packing a dingaling, so this rings true.
Hey… Don’t group us in with Draenei.
I dont think big events are that’s fun either but they do make for a better sense of community I mean the nelf community is like dead right now the dwarf and human ones are like ok. Personally I think the big humans events where more fun than the ones i did with nelf players they where a bit more loose and less scripted at least in my experience
They’re worse about it because they genuinely believe it’s how their race actually is.

To their credit… For all we know, Azerothian reproductive structure could be entirely alien.
Even better, both orcs and draenei are from other entire planets than Azeroth, who knows what anatomy they could theoretically have
Except that soldiers of member nations wear their own country’s flag. Wearing an others post-WWI is a war crime.
Hell, the few joint exercises I’ve partaken in always came with a brief to never go on duty while wearing another’s patch. Its customary to swap patches with other units, but going out on duty it could be interpreted and reported as a false-flag attempt.

Good point. Though I assumed that regiments/groups/etc would be carrying or wearing their nation’s colors or seals as a tabard or some such, I don’t think we see this in game.
The do, there are sentinels in nazmir dressed like sentinels, and all the nelves in lorderan wear nelf stuff, yeah sometimes blizzard puts them in stormwind gear, but sometimes they put the horde races in orc gear, its dumb that some players are trying to say this is only a human and alliance thing.
It’s one of those unexplained story elements. We don’t know what caused the High Elves to suffer in Lordaeron. Maybe an Old God took up residence, had it’s fun, and then left after the High Elves deprived it of more to fee don by leaving.
We simply don’t have the details other than that one passage.
They don’t likely because devs don’t think too much into it. They always had issues with showing and not telling.
There’s another saying that I have always had a personal beef with call “Perception is Reality.” Ever notice in ever boot camp video that the Drill Instructors never seem to sweat or have dirty uniforms? Because they go to work with several sets of uniforms to give the illusion that they are that good. How many times have we seen a male-human paladin post that Anduin should kick Tyrande out of the Alliance or that High King is a literal Emperorship? Myself and other call the Alliance a human-ran empire with vassal races because the Alliance is perceived as such unless someone goes digging into developer twitters or wiki’s. And if a fan has to do that, the writer or developer has failed their presentation. It should be no question that the Alliance isn’t a empire, but the developers have failed to show us what the Alliance really is. tl;dr, Blizzard once again fails to show, not tell.

I actually haven’t seen this a lot.

There is a very specific person that used to make several of these, and he’s no longer doing it because he’s grown and improved, so there’s that. But I can certainly say he wasn’t the only one.
It’s because of the scuffle in the Tavern. Unfortunate.

I have in other paces (namely le Reddit, since Blizzard is fond of echo-cambers.) Human Paladins and Orc Warriors have this ugly steriotpye, not like night elves and blood elf posters.

Perhaps, but most of those posts were being made to troll fanatic Night Elf fans because the posters knew what buttons to push.
Now I’m wondering what the stereotype class for every race is.
