There's a sickness in the Alliance

Except it does. I can very much tell the difference between a Lightforged and a Draenei. And sorry, but mechanical arms and legs don’t look like normal ones. Purple skin stands out for Velfs.

She not a Void Elf. High Elves and Blood Elves are biologically exactly the same. Old lore literally tells you that. She didn’t go through the same process as the Belfs did. She’s not a Velf. She absorbed the Void entirely differently and from something different.

I didn’t prove anything for you and your “point” doesn’t even make sense.

I did. And no idea what you’re talking about.

There’s no way to please everyone. And pleasing marketing is top priority over a small percentage of the playerbase complaining here on the forums.

Most people don’t say anything, they just quit, which is why you see a dwindling amount of players playing. Complaints from a “small percentage” are a good indicator of the majority. Which is why you have forums, to gauge that. Then from there do your own studies to find whether its a falsehood, or a legitimate concern. And if you play, whether horde or alliance, you can definitely see it should be a legitimate concern.

I didn’t realize there was such a big market for junkgnomes, kultirans and void belves! :open_mouth:

Void Elves are the 4th most played race on the Alliance. Mechagnomes and Kul Tirans are more niche, but being niche isn’t a bad thing.

Personally, I think it’s because alot of people on the Alliance have bad taste.

Again, because are blood elves! Nice model! And only that!
Everything else is a placebo!

Humans are only played because they use the human model.

Night Elves are only played because they use the Night Elf model.

Do you realize just how awful that sounds?

There is consuming sickness in humanity.

And Night Elves did get a different version of them. It’s called Night Warrior. And I am dam proud to be one. :stuck_out_tongue:

FOR ELUNE!

It’s almost like your opinion doesn’t matter because people are actually leaving the alliance for the reasons I stated above. I linked the data, click the links. You and the OP are basically just telling us that everything is fine and that we’re whining, but bruh… bruh… Click. The. Links.

Being the “good guys” or “hero” faction has nothing to do with it. I already made you a clear list of reasons why alliance is losing players, and this isn’t one of them.

As to your second point, who cares? Void Elf players are popular and appealing to players who are already playing Alliance. Why would Horde players be interested in playing one when you can already play a Blood Elf? Void Elves clearly aren’t fixing any population issues because the A:H ratio continues to get worse.

What does this have to do with anything that I said? Do I need to relink the data? It doesn’t matter if a handful of amazing players are playing the faction, there’s still more of a community and more players in general playing Horde and doing all activities. You cannot argue with data.

Agreed. Though I speculate they might be saving broken draenei, high elves, wildhammers, and other races that are prominent in outland (like ogres) for a return-to-outland expansion.

I’m down with the sickness.

Okay, Blizzard employee. Your patronizing shill-post won’t change any minds. High Elves should be playable for the Alliance and everything else we’ve been given is an insult.

Stop trying to justify Blizzard’s crap decisions and embrace the High Elf cause. Warcraft’s survival depends on it.

gasp People want to play as certain races in a fantasy setting!?!?! That’s unpossible!

In all seriousness, while I don’t hate any of our allied races, it does more or less feel like they were given to us as a compromise.

Show me when the community cares about World First M+20 Freehold. Actually, show me when clearing above a 10 confers anything other than bragging rights. At least raiders still get transmog and mounts. Sorry, but no one is going to come to the faction with the garbo recruiting pool for recycled armor and a pittance of Residuum. Next season’s affix is going to end Shadowmeld’s whole career anyway, then it will be back to all Blood Elf Outlaw Rogues, all the time.

“Not only am I upset that I didn’t get my third-rate elves. I’m so deluded that I think the literal survival of the game hinges on me being able to play blue eyed blood elves on the Alliance.”

You sound ridiculous.

Racials really aren’t that big of a deal. It’s purely a playerbase problem. Alliance dominates in PvP as well.

The easiest solution is just to relax PvE restrictions, and let people group/guild together. That’ll do more than attempting to make racials OP.

And Red players complain constantly about story and pretty much everything. They complained incessantly about Nightborne. Too ugly! (they are certainly NOT ugly) and their racials suck we don’t want to play them, but NOOO!! you Alliance can’t have them!!! Same to a lesser degree about high mountain tauren and their ‘crap’ racials. We want lots of conflict, but no internal conflict, and win all the time! Why isn’t stormwind burned to the ground yet???

Neither Red nor Blue has a monopoly on complaining and certainly some of it is justifiable. They are customers. If you make them a subpar low effort action figure doll for your kid, for example, you are going to rightfully complain.

I really don’t know what this guy’s point is. No discord I’ve been nor guild chat I’ve been a part of in BFA complained much at all about Allied Races. Maybe??? His message is shut up and like mechagnomes even though the male base model base looks like crap and the female model needs some touching up while Vulpera looks great and high effort?

Excuse me, are you dissing the Neutron Style? They look fantastic and sound like a bootleg Dr. Kleiner. They’re perfect.

They don’t though? Female gnomes are perfect, and the mechanized one is the same.

Oh ok. I didn’t know 6 customization options and a goblin asset flip counted as “high quality”.

North American servers carry 2/3 red players compared to 1/3 blue in rated above 2000 or so that isn’t accurate for the state of the servers us Americans play on.

Ah. Troll it is then. Well done. Wish the forum had ignore :smile:
