Proof positive you didn’t read the conversation. Good job showing that you have nothing of value to add here.

I was more referring to the claim he just keeps hearing other people say it.
I’ve never heard it said on the forums before this thread lol.
Oh I read it. But you know how it is when you have nothing to fall back on just call people trolls
Oh… I don’t read the Belf/Helf threads, so maybe it’s in there? Not sure. Or he’s referring to in game?
Or it’s just another elf thread to see how many people want to fight about it.
Shockingly you still have no idea what you’re talking about, since I’m always the one correcting people’s usage of that word. But hey, keep adding absolutely nothing of value here. I certainly won’t give you any more time or respect, because you don’t deserve it. 
This is actually funny if true cause then the entire High Elf vs Blood Elf argument has parallels to the Taiwan vs China argument. I’m probably gonno get a vacation for this but I said what I said.
Did you know that Blood Elf NPCs have intentionally redder hued skin than their High Elf NPC counterparts? This might just be a flavor thing, but it could also mean that the Blood Elves did change, even a little, from their dabbling in… whatever Blizzard decides they were dabbling in at the current rotato-lore stop.

When it comes to belves and/or helven lore, several of the people responding to you will throw on blinders and are deliberately obtuse. Literal copy/pasted lore from Blizzard themselves won’t impact their opinion.
This is a laughably sensitive topic, best to avoid engaging them altogether.
If it can’t be helped, just know their more feared question is:
Source?

You’re using outdated lore again, the whole
And then trying to say
Comes from the non canon RPG.

I came into this thinking it was just a “what is the lore?” Thread. Had I realized it was one of “those” threads, I would’ve just muted it.
I suppose I’ll do that now. Thanks.

Kale Thalas just renamed the survivors on the day the Sun Well was destroyed Blood Elves. Those survivors were only In Quel’Thalas and so they were renamed.
High Elves are those who survived and weren’t in Quel’Thalas at the time. They lived in a few of the Alliance Cities and Lodges scattered across the Eastern Kingdoms. With no connection to the Sun Well, both groups used Different means to control their Magic withdrawl or become withered.
Blood Elves started draining all sources of Magic which also included being exposed to Fel Energies (Even though the Sun Well wasn’t destroyed by Fel Magic but by Necrotic Energy in a ritual that created the Lich, Kel’Thazade.) This is what makes them different to those High Elves who didn’t go through all of that. (Watch the TBC expansion cinematic of a Blood Elf draining the magic out of a wyrm and then having their eyes glow)
Another group of High Elves would also have been on Outland and survived as part of the Alliance expedition in WC2 to finally stop the Horde once and for all. (We see High Elves in Alliance content there)
Let us all agree to disagree, yes they are all High Elves but Blood Elves and Void Elves are culture splits from the main branch on the Elven Tree on one side with Night Elves on the other all under the Highbourne name sake.

I’m using NPCs added in Legion. By simply comparing the two groups, there are obvious differences in skin tone.
You’re trying to argue what the old non canon RPG stated as if it can still be argued as fact, and it is not.
Blood Elves are High Elves, as told to us by Blizzard, this weird reach argument you’re doing to argue the old non canon RPG idea that BEs have “redder skin tones” is not canon.

I literally linked two different NPC groups: Blood Elf Boat Partygoers and High Elf Boat Partygoers. They have different skin tones. Though I guess it’s confusing to you, as you must not see a difference between the two groups and only see one large group of “High Elf Boat Partygoers.”
Blood Elves are High Elves.
And have a range of diverse skin tones period.
The idea you’re specifically on about arguing that they have “redder hues” and trying to link that to “dabbling” in something straight up is a Helfer talking point from the now non canon RPG.
So your links mean nothing, Blood Elves are High Elves and diverse, what about it

Blood Elves were High Elves. The closest you ever got from Blizzard saying what you claim is Ion saying “Blood Elves kinda are High Elves, but with slightly different eye color, different relationship to magic and the Sunwell.” Even Ion acknowledged that there are differences between the two groups. Hell, even Elisande could tell the difference between Blood Elves and High Elves, as shown in an earlier video linked in this thread. Why do you have such a hard time with the concept?
And yet the Blood Elf NPCs have redder skin than the High Elf NPCs do. It’s a simple fact that you’re melting down over.
Spoken like a troll. Don’t worry sweetheart the feeling is mutual.
No they don’t, they’re the same people, so your two pictures show the varying diversity of the same people. Blood Elves are High Elves.
This idea you’re pushing is an old Helfer talking point from the non canon-rpg. Period.
Your pictures showcase varying skin tone diversity of the same group of Elves because Blood Elves are High Elves.

not true man! that’s impossible. clearly those skin tones are deep rooted lore about dabbling in magic!
I wanna know what some of these people are taking lol.
I literally posted one example of Blood Elf NPCs having redder skin than their High Elf NPC counterparts. That was only one example. There are many examples of this all throughout the game. And, as I said “This might just be a flavor thing.” You decided to blow it way out of proportion. But when you argue that they don’t have redder skin, when it is a verifiable fact that they do, you just sound willfully ignorant, and not worth discussing anything with.
Blood Elves are High Elves, and High Elves benefitted from the diverse skin tone additions when the playable High Elf race (Blood Elves) got diverse skin tones, along w the rest of the human skin toned races Blizzards stance has been that they have always seen their world as diverse and the additions were long over due.
So you proved something we already knew? High Elves are diverse and have a range of skin tones.
They are the same people, the diversity applies to all of them, what you are specifically arguing that Blood Elves alone have “redder skin tones” & trying to link that to the magic they “dabbled in” is straight out of the non canon-rpg and you know it.
Literally such a weird point, all it does is reiterate that High Elves are diverse which we already knew and confirmed when Blood Elves like other human skin toned races received more diverse skin tones.
The other stuff he’s arguing is literally old old Helfer arguments lmao like the arguments were old when they were making them bcz the rpg has been non canon for like ages as is
