That doesn’t make sniping someone’s artwork without their permission or a credit exactly… cool, though.

It would have been cool.
Horde might have actually won a Warfront and we would have gotten BE themed sets and an updated Silvermoon.
I would have loved to get some Spellbreaker/Blood Mage/Farstrider/Whatever Valeera is Armor sets.
Missed opportunity for everyone.

Guess you should let Blizzard know, cause High Elves continue to field named NPCs on Alliance cities and scenarios, as well as the Alliance having claim to their biggest groups and legitimate reputations that only Alliance players can earn.
Ah but yes, the few blue eyed blood elf npcs you find are a sturdy foundation to lay claim to something Blizzard themselves say isn’t your’s.
Typical Horde i guess.

Considering the stuff you’ve managed to ignore with people who defend HE stuff sledge, its small potatoes as they say, and on top of that Blood Elves are HEs so the intended audience for those mock ups are BE players
Like this person who came in with non points
And when I pointed out actually problematic stances you liked a few posts thinking that was more problematic than anything else
Remember you gave this a like implying you felt that it was more wrong to mention that issue but I’m glad this small potato issue is something you find worthy to speak on

Yes, recognized so much. Can you point out to me a single High elf military squad, or unit that fought for the Alliance during BFA? You know, the expansions centered on faction conflict? And didn’t we just get a High elf mage trainer in org?
Right, still waiting on any of that customization being legitimized or made canon on the Void elf side, while Blood elves are already getting new blue eyed elf npcs on Horde side. Only one side seems to be “Canonical” in any respect, and it isn’t the alliance. You’re still stuck with tentacle elves

Not a bad thing.
I wish they would with a little NPC thing showing them becoming Void Elves proper.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about, Lann.
I just find that particular practice tacky in the extreme. It’s one of the reasons I stopped posting my stuff online a decade ago.
And seriously, me liking a snarky joke is not worse than that.

The Silver Covenant, actively fielded High elven ballista at the gates of orgrimmar with their racial leader present in the questline.
Like the Blood and High elf scholars in the rift and High elf sorceresses and Void elves patrolling around Stormwind together?
You failing or refusing to connect the dots is your problem, I too look forward to an actual explanation as well though, till then ill continue to look at all the evidence pointing towards the answer you don’t wanna accept.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ugx9mOJUV8c, Start from 9:43 and tell me what you see towards the path leading to the gates, 3 blue ballista, weird hu?
Blood elven and Night elven Ballista models exist and both could of been there, yet i see weirdly specific thalassian ballista…but blue.

Two things:
-
Blizzard Entertainment sites are more reliable sources than “fan” sites like “Wowpedia” or God forbids, “Wowwikki” (Wowwikki is the “Noxxic” lore equivalent dude… considering you are waaay more a min-maxer than myself, I hope I don´t have to explain more to you).
-
Fan sites can be edited by every Dick and Harry, so again… go to Blizz official sites or consult Blizz official side material like: novels, novellas, comics, manga, etc. everything is useful as long as it´s both delivered officially by Blizzard Entertainment AND it´s still considered canon by the designers (for example the RPG books are NOT considered canon currently therefore the information contained in those is not longer valid as a “canon” lore source).
Does THIs image -thge image of the “drama” sport the “Human neck”? The “Human haircut”? No? Good. Then as far as that poster is concerned -and we all should be- this could indeed be used for Farstrider esque themes a.k.a. for BOTH Blood AND High elves.
Gal, if we go absolutely strict on the matter “people” started it by sniping artwork directly from Blizzard themselves.
That poster can go and try to “demand” Blizz for “stealing” their idea about making available dark skin tones plus shorter ears to Belves… but that person shouldn´t be surprised if he/she gets powned with an actual demand from actual artwork stealing from the company themselves. Cause as much anguish it can cause anyone, at the end of the day the basic model BELONGS to Blizzard and anything they do IS fair game for them, period.
And I´ll repeat for like the n-esim time: the poster on the Belf thread:
a) NEVER claimed “ownership” of that art… she literally said “another mockupt Blood Elf farstrider” and that was it. If the people here DO believe in their BS about “Farstrider” themes being “common” for both races, I don´t see the issue.
b) When Mr. “I wanted to be a Moral Highground but failed” tried to bait her into a forum fight, she literally answered with “yes, it works to be used as a Farstrider mockup, if you have more it will be useful”… and he “relented”.
/she would actually see ONCE again the current raid tier end cinematic and “wonder”… how much did the Nelf / Worgen fans won, again Drede?
/she would go and see how “important” and relevant are the Forsaken in Shadowlands (you know, the “death” realm) to the point we know what´s going to happen to th… oops!!
Do you HONESTLY believe THIS (the Belves NOT getting humiliated and powned to make a cheap kindergarden esque moralistic story) could had happened?
The current set IS Spellbreaker themed, dude. And god NO the fanservice useless Valeera thing, I want actual useful rogue armor for my Belf rogues, not stuff that´s a mockery of the class tyvm.
Headcanoning stuff does NOT canon lore make, dude. I´ll repeat once again my dissapointment with the RP community when they resort to this APALLING behaviour when they should be actually the more invested in keeping some faithful representation to the lore.

You liked a post defending the behavior I commented on and if you click to expand that is very telling indeed.
But apparently to you despite the fact Blood Elves being HEs and the intended benefactor of HE options using a mock up to showcase that is enough to comment on and present as bad behavior?

1 actually.
Long time fan-sites don’t merit immediate denial because the answer doesn’t fit what they want to see, which it frequently doesn’t when you deny lore that you can see plainly in-game.
Blizzard created a game with an existing High elf story separate from the Blood elf story, it’s plain to see in game, especially if you play on the Alliance.
Where do you think these “fan sites” get the information?
This argument is tired and old, used only by antis to deny what the game tells us all, enough.

Should have never been added to the Alliance in the first place, but anything to stop giving Alliance players what they asked for. Even though they hung it in front our faces over the years with the Argent Tournament BS.

You’ve had like the same handful of NPCs in those cities for over a decade, and… they haven’t done anything with them. In fact Blizzard went out of their way to make an entirely NEW species of Thalassian elves just to make sure you never get them, while we keep getting new High elves on the Horde side.
Y i k e s.
There were no actual Silver Covenant at the gates of orgimmar, unless you can actually cite an image of a unit of them spotted anywhere? Yeah, didn’t think so.
And the only reason Vareesa was there was to help find Sylvanas with her sister, hence why not a single Silver Covenant High elf was added anywhere. Weren’t you just the one that was trying to be condescending over “small” numbers being insignifigant, and yet your only argument for the Silver Covenant’s involvement is an instance where there’s zero silver covenant? Uhh, ok.
Except none of those are actually Void elves using the Helf customization? Funny that Blizzard deliberately added a new High elf mage trainer in org for us, but didn’t add a single thing to support it on the Alliance side. Oof~~
I mean, if we want to split hairs over semantics and ignore the obvious implications of adding elves using High elf customizations to the Horde side, you cant then turn around and tell me that I’m being stubborn about it on the Alliance side. You’ve got literally zero proof, and despite Blizzard making an effort to make an example of the new customizations with the high elf mage trainer, they did absolutely nothing to showcase it on the void elves? It’s almost like the implications, and reasoning for this are as plain as day.
You know what I don’t see? A single Silver Covenant High elf.

Funny we can actually look more like High Elves then the Horde can yet we cant play them. This vid was done before the customizations were added also.
