Kelfin were asked for and those are still not playable and a lot of people do want them. In fact they are just about as potentially popular as vulpera and have potential to be a great allied race. Its just that they don’t have as much of an organized lobby group like the vulpera have.
The Alliance’s Allied Races are all variants of what players had asked for over the years, rather than just giving the players what they asked for.
This is just horribly wrong. Are you forgotting about one of the biggest requests in the history of wow? High elves. Also the following:
-
Void elves are the most popular allied race hands down.
-
Dark Iron dwarves were requested also and they got that.
-
Gnome fans requested gnome hunters. Got those.
-
Gnome fans requested more gnome content and got mechagnomes and another major set of lore surrounding gnomes and a zone.
-
In classic wow there was requests for draenei and they got that. It may be an old request, but it is valid.
-
Wildhammer dwarves were requested and added as customization. Since they look nearly identical to standard dwarves, its not a huge problem. though wildhammer druids would be nice.
About the only thing the Horde didn’t get from their requests was Taunka, but at least Blizzard didn’t go, “Okay, so here’s the Taunka, but they’re all voided out now so it’s pretty much ruined and guarantees we’re never adding the race you actually wanted all this time.”
They also didn’t get ogres and there are some ogres already technically apart of the horde. Ogres are one of the oldest new race requests.
