Disproven? It's a much stronger argument on the anti side than the for side, by a mile. Let's not forget Blizzard also said no multiple times. Add that to the anti argument, and there is no contest. Your views of the anti argument being disproved, is just that. Your views, your opinions. Nothing more.


High Elves fulfill every requirement to be an allied race. With much of what we know about them from Wtolk being retconned, they now have their own culture, relevance and a decent population (not that population matters to what's playable anyway). It wouldn't take much work from Blizz to implement them, so it'd be not much work for a good amount of $$$. High Elves wouldn't ruin the Horde's population, and it won't change any aspect of the game for people who don't want them.

Honestly the only arguments that hold any weight is "elf fatigue" and the whole, "muh player model" debacle. Neither of which disqualifies High Elves from being added. If you're hoping for a more interesting and unique race, I'm sorry to say that allied races are just modified versions of existing races. I still hope that we get the races you're requesting as well, though :)

And regarding the elf fatigue thing, I'll leave this here

Also Blizz never said no. Anything is possible in the future


Keep lying to yourself. You will be continually disappointed. Blizz is smart enough to not add them. You got void elves, and void elves being so popular, they won't be removed.

I can guarantee, 5 years from now, we will see these spam threads still requesting high elves, and blizzard sticking with their same response of No, and maintaining their stance on the subject. And I support them 500% on their NO response.

Just because it makes sense to you, does not make it right or good for the overall game.

Not getting your way is not always bad, and this is one of those situations where this is true.

You wanting <> you always getting.

You Being heard <> always mean your demands will be met.

You are not getting High Elves.

Would you be willing to edit your topic and question to read more like

"Would you consider High Elf Alliance Loyalists (Silver Covenant, lodges around the world, 7th legion) to be playable? What criteria of an allied race do they fail to meet?"

Or something along those lines? I just want to avoid getting a non answer from them that'll turn into another meme and would love to know why they actually don't want them IF they don't want them.

It's like the biggest cash cow they could put out right now. I couldn't fathom how much money they'd make if they actually brought them to the game. Definitely a couple of hundred just from me from race changes/boosts.

(Even though I really enjoy BfA) Here's hoping they get a bit worried with some people not and decide to release HEs to make us happy :DDD


We'll definitely be getting them at some point, whether it be at BlizzCon or in an entirely different expansion. It will be a historic event for WoW. I will personally race change 4 of my characters, and I know many people who'd resub to do the same :)

"They arent on the table, but anything is possible."

It's either gonna be a non-answer or it wont be answered. Dont expect anything.

Actually he said, "there are no plans currently to add High Elves, but anything is possible in the future".

From when he said that to now is barely the Future. Pushing it constantly at them is only going to make them more annoyed.

Also

NO

There will be more elves one day. It may not be High Elves, but being the most popular race by far, it would be a dumb move not to add more.

Blizz is a business, it'd be smart to add them at some point due to the profit motive alone. Their overall stance is not a no, we know of some Blizz employees who are in full support of Alliance High Elves. Even Ion himself said that anything is possible in the future. I guarantee that High Elves will already be playable within 5 years, and the anti crowd will look back and realize that this whole thing wasn't worth fighting about

We are not children hoping we get our way, we are voicing our opinion as to what allied race we'd like to see in the future, something Blizz told us to do. I fail to see how the inclusion of this allied race could be bad for the game, nor do I see how their exclusion could be a positive thing

He's still not wrong... 3% of the whole population does make them one of the least played races in the game. If he'd said that they were the least played allied race in the game, then you'd be correct

They did, several times. Now you're just ignoring history to support your fruitless argument.
There's no reason not to have playable high elves. Even Taliesin made a video with a neutral mind and agreed with us. There aren't any valid arguments for the anti side. Like it or not but this is a fact.

Void Elves are doing the best for an allied race (Nightborne the next, two elf races go figure) sure, but that's it. They may take over Draenei as the 3rd most played Alliance race one day, but I doubt they will beat out Night Elves or Humans because of their class selection.

That all being said... a new elf race on either side is going to do well. The only reasons Nightborne aren't doing as well as Void Elves (imo) is because their models have issues and they are going up against Blood Elves (who by the way, have Paladins, Demon Hunters and Death Knights, classes they do not have).

Oh so only blizzard employees' opinions count? Yeah uh, there are plenty of blizzard employees who want high elves. Sorry, but you can't win this. Might as well give up.
