Why the heck do you even care that we want High Elves? If we were given High Elves to play that wouldn’t remove Blood Elves. It wouldn’t invalidate any of the time you spent having fun playing your Blood Elf, hanging out with your guildies and friends. Adding joy to High Elf fans by letting them play High Elves does not reduce the amount of joy you have had or will have.

She says Quel’dorei because they are the only ones who still call themselves High Elves, i don’t know the whole point of trying to say they are unworthy of the name High Elves when the Blood Elves themselves abandoned it, and yet you people still try to hold some kind of ownership over it

because asking for playable alliance high elves who are almost extinct, is like asking blizzard to copy paste a core horde race that has become part of their faction identity
and we dont want the quel’thalas elves to become the next faction identity less mistake like pandas are now

Unlike what Goebbels said, telling a lie a thousand times does not make it true. I posted a quote, they were not meant to be something players were familiar with, they are a new concept, High Elves are not a new concept.

No Lydon.
Those things don’t matter. Our actions are lining up just fine. We want playable Alliance High Elves. We’re asking for them because we want them and we don’t accept the notion that Void Elves are some sort compromise.
I can like Void Elves and still want High Elves. I can play Void Elves and still not accept them as a compromise for High Elves.
Your “points” don’t matter.

OK, lets put things in perspective here.
Instead of the extensive starting area the Blood Elves got in Burning Crusade, lets say they they got an Island with a few huts. You walk around and there are a few Blood elves that you can interact with that tell you the basics of the lore and that the Blood elves are now a part of the Horde.
There are a few Blood Elf mages with a portal to Orgrimmar. You step through and you’re there. In Orgrimmar. Time to start leveling!
You get to level 60 and go to Outland, and there are no Blood elves except the ones inside Tempest Keep. The final patch comes around and the Sunwell raid comes out rounding out the expansion. No Silvermoon except the “instanced” one inside the raid.
As a Blood Elf player would that feel satisfying?

Numbers don’t matter. Void elves are a crack squad, far less than there are still elves that politically align themselves as High Elves. Mag’har probably number less than Void Elves.
High Elves were a core Alliance race long before the Blood Elves joined the Horde.
This still doesn’t invalidate my statement that adding High Elves as a playable race adds joy to that faction’s fans and does not reduce your own.

That’s another alt of Fyr.
I would stop responding to them.
So’s every other Allied Race that doesn’t stop people from requesting new ones.
And the developers stated the exact opposite multiple times.
Considering they are complaining about the Void Elf lore constantly at almost every opportunity it gives them more right to complain.
They don’t. Deal with it.
You’re just making up a bunch of things in your head trying to come up with another angle to discredit their arguments. It’s not working.

they were allied with the original alliance of lordaeron, which they later would withdraw from. not the alliance we know today
unless you live in a wc2 time bubble and wow was made reflecting that. the elves were never a core race for them

It’s not about deserve. None of us deserve anything. We will ask and discuss and argue about lore and logic and feelings, but it’s not about deserve. Its about adding something fun that feels like should have been a part of the storytelling from the beginning. We’re asking for a correction to what we feel was a mistake. We don’t deserve it, but it would be nice.
That’s a rhetorical strategy that never works unless you have genuine power to shut down a topic, like being a parent or a forum moderator that locks a thread.

High Elf Fan: Hey Blizz, give me $20.00 bucks for a High Elf shirt.
Blizzard: Ah, can’t do that. Blood Elf shirts are kind of High Elf shirts. You can go in the Horde line if you want a shirt like that. Here’s $10.00 bucks for this Void Elf shirt, though.
High Elf Fan: buys a Void Elf shirt and puts it on
Blizzard: Well?
High Elf Fan: Well what? Give me $20.00 for a High Elf shirt!
Blizzard: What? I just gave you $10.00 for a Void Elf shirt. You’re wearing it.
High Elf Fan: Yeah, I thought it was cool. I still want a High Elf shirt.
Blizzard: We already gave all those shirts to the Horde. If you want one, the Horde is waiting for you over there. Why’d you take my Void Elf shirt?
High Elf Fan: It was still an elf shirt. It’s not the one I wanted, though.
Blizzard: Why did you wear it if it’s not what you wanted?
High Elf Fan: It was the closest to a High Elf shirt, ok! So, where’s my $20.00 bucks?
Blizzard: Look, I’ve got a lot of shirts to give out, maybe we’ll talk about this later in the future, but no plans in the near term to give out High Elf shirts. walks away Oh and don’t give up hope!

As suspected, the writing is the same, where’s Archmage? Something is not quite right here.

tbf, alliance high/blood elves are basically extinct or soon will be. i suspect thats why they just gave the narrative of blood elves becoming void elves. there arent even enough of them to fit that story narrative of becoming the void elves

Prettending this comparison makes any sense, it’s actually the High Elf fan who gave Blizzard the money.

A “blood elf shirt” is not a “high elf shirt”.
I’ll wear my “void elf shirt” and enjoy it while also continuing to ask for a “high elf shirt”.
I am allowed to wear a “void elf shirt” and still ask for a “high elf shirt”.
You’ll just have to accept that the “point” you’re trying to make isn’t a valid one.

While this is the Alliance of Stormwind and not Lordaeron, it still carries Lordaeron’s legacy. If it didn’t then the Blood Elves would have had no cause to carry their grudge against the Alliance with the Stormwind Alliance. There is still a narrative and core system of legacy binding the 2 Alliances.
Not even considering the Warcraft RTS. There have been High Elves acting as Alliance allies since Classic. And major NPCs weaving through our stories as members of the Alliance from BC through Wrath through present day.

You’re right. I’ll fix it.
So… the moral of the story is, if we want High Elves, we shouldn’t play at all?

The only way to fix it is to delete it.
I’m not silencing you, but prettenting “Blood Elf shirt = High Elf shirt” is the same Horde biased argument Horde mains keep making.
