this logic goes both ways. helves were NEVER part of the modern alliance, and only ever horde, but this gets thrown out the window when yall cry about how they’ve always been an alliance race. either the old alliance counts, or it doesn’t. so yall get together and decide and then argue as a united front on the forums. until then expect to be called out for double standards and bias.

I’ve literally never complained about Blood Elves going horde, why are you bringing this up?
In addition, there are Alliance High elves. They could be seen as far back as vanilla were they had horrifying models.

Why am I suddenly responsible for literally everything someone with a blue background has said?
Are you responsible for everything someone with a red background has said?
MDI has nothing to do with in game participation levels, which is what actually matters.
yes there are. just like there are humans that have joined the horde. those are outliers. do you think because of the opening to tiragade that kt should’ve been a HORDE race? it’s the exception that proves the rule.
reread your posts in this thread. the tone. then realize that you’re being responded to because of how you’ve responded to others.

It does when the person you’re replying to is literally talking about racial balance in response to op who kept bringing that up.

people who bring up the MDI or mythic raiding parses as to why they can’t get past lfr are always hilarious to me. horde, or alliance. the people at that level would play a blue cube if it gave them a slight edge in dps. they are not actually “players” the way we are. it’s their jobs.

God, and people say only alliance players turn threads into High elf argument threads…
All I see is you being rude to both me and several others with literally no provocation.
Racial balance that is theoretically impossible to pull off with actual in game pushes, where IO and actual key level matters, rather than cheese strats to complete mid-tier level keys as quickly as possible? 
Meld does not have nearly as much influence on M+ as people think it does. If they did, the entire ladder in game would be blue, and nothing but nelf. But it’s not. The meld cheese strats aren’t nearly as effective for true push keys as they are for MDI strats.
The thing that matters most in these cases are how things are effecting your mid-tier to average cutting edge players.
The top of the top are going to take every little advantage, no matter how minor.
The issue now is there’s this stupid perception that x and y is best, when it’s usually not, and now literally everybody is Horde when they don’t have to be, snowballing it so everybody’s now Horde because that’s where everybody that’s semi-serious about content tends to be.
But what do I know, one of my last serious tiers was Throne of Thunder where Beastslaying was so massive I watched a US top 10 guild I was in have a good chunk of DPS swap troll. And then a bunch of their fans follow despite it not actually helping them.
quote where i’ve been mean to “several” others. directly quote me. i made one comment about someone whining about racials when at that the level of play they’re talking about is beyond anything most people on the forums will ever experience. if shadowmeld was some sort of must have racial they wouldn’t play horde races on live. though if mechagnomes hadn’t been nerfed to dirt a LOT of the horde would’ve switched. as the racial was so busted it would’ve been worth it to switch. these people don’t care about dungeon stuff the way they do about world first raiding.
have you looked at icy veins for a lot of specs? they say x covenant is literally trash compared to y covenant. then you look at the sims they’ve provided and it’s literally like a 2% difference. 
there are people who are meta slaves who complain about balance at levels that don’t affect them and use talents they hate and are miserable playing because of a slight different in dps. lol
Why should I quote it when you literally pointed it out yourself?
Eh… I’ll do it anyway.
All of this ranges from Passive aggressive to being a Jerk.
You’ve pretty solidly proven to me though that you think it’s justified though so I dunno why I’m bothering.
tbf a lot of helfers play blood elves.
You’re saying that a strat that dominated mdi is impossible to pull off in game?
No, it doesn’t. But if someone wants to have a fat sook about non-existent racial imbalance, the fact that the Alliance has the strongest m+ racial bar none is a valid point to bring up. Just like it’s a valid to point out that the Horde doesn’t actually have a racial advantage.

Ya know what… Fair enough.
you quoted things i said to you. unless you’re more than one person that is not “several” people.
edit: i said things to you, and a vague reference otherwise. that’s a COUPLE. which is different than “several.”
Assuming you’re right, I don’t see how this is any better…
Either way, thanks for the out of the blue insults I guess.
Don’t quote me on this, but I’m pretty sure when it’s a Horde player it’s out of the red.

There is no dislike button unfortunately so I guess I’ll just click the heart instead.
i was an alliance main from vanilla until bfa pre patch. the reason i’m horde now is because of alliance posters on the forums saying silly things and then playing a victim when you call them out. i had been posting on my kt druid for a long time as well and did the same thing.
No offence homie but that’s kinda petty.
if you had dealt with it for over a decade you’d understand. my breaking point was the army of lowbie nelf druids who cried up a storm about MUH GENOCIDE. having actually had a huge amount of my family die in the actual holocaust and to see them compare it to some elves dying in a video game was my breaking point. wow is not real life.
