Why do blue eyes matter so much? Seriously though why the rage?

thats not what im seeing here.

they don’t, they use Lore population, by lore high elves are almost extinct, thats a fact, and since then their numbers only decrease, cause they can’t reproduce in a high speed or reproduce with humans.

silver covenant is not the elven fantasy, the elven fantasy is in their culture, in their kingdom and in their people, silver covenants are elves subservient of a human nation of mages.

completely pointless

just because you ahve an elven group not affilied with the horde don’t mean they have a different culture, the heck you are talking about? even if they had, that would mean the alliance elves became way more distant of the true thalasian culture.

it is as i had seen.

vindicar is not group of people who supposed to be loyal o the alliance

they were already wek by the fight against the Legion with the emerald dream corrupted, the ancients never rly joined the alliance, so your point is invalid.

unimportant.

i never said they stopped existing, i said they were in fact, a neutral group most of time and not rly that much pro-alliance like people love to paint in their headcanon.

it is explained in one of their Q&A, they were depleted of resources after a war against the burning legion, maybe you miss that war.

Always trying to go for the appeal of emotion.

It is meaningless to the game, alliance players lied and delusion themselves for 13 years that the high elves belong to then and are a crucial part of the alliance fantasy when it never was, people are just mad because its hard to support so much fallacies and headcanon now

Oh, I don’t mean Auric himself, but rather what his position and mentality as a High elf in Quel’thalas represented. That not all High elves look at Blood elves as the enemy, and embrace the division between them, and that some still see all Blood and high elves as children of Silvermoon that should rally behind a common cause. To this end it is not unlikely that other High elves might share those ideals, or even pledge themselves to them.

To me, the whole purpose of allowing High elves back to the Sunwell and giving Auric that speech was to facilitate the warming relations between the two groups, and that not all high elves are as hostile toward the Blood elves as the Silver Covenant.

It matters because they are in the lore and on the alliance, they’ve been there for most of this IP’s life and haven’t gone anywhere, being a fundamental race of the alliance, they show up in the story all the time and have more members of their faction than the void elves do, yet somehow blizzard adds void elves (no lore, hardly any of them even exist) instead of high elves.

Blizzard is arguing for aesthetic, but fans want the LORE of it. If it didn’t matter blizzard should stop having high elf characters constantly thrown in your face in the lore.

I personally think that if you added high elves to the alliance, it would decimate horde population numbers, and that might be why they are hesitant. People want to play pretty elves, and people want to play the good guys, so splitting the two biggest groups across both factions keeps things more even.

Did you not play WC3 and BC? High elves left the alliance and joined the horde, regardless of the name change. It’s literally reinforced when Metzen introduced them then backed up multiple times throughout the game’s history and many developer comments.

Just because Vereesa and a few others stayed doesn’t change that playable high elves happened. There’s no requirement that every little group has to be playable.

The lore evolved, blood elves are it. They are high elves and have the entire same history and culture except the past like 10ish years of a few of their people (a tiny % compared to the main body) that are generally integrating into human societies. Blizzard doesn’t have to stop using NPCs just because people can’t handle the facts.

Blood elves are the future of the high elf race.

You can deny it all you want, but there are very obviously high elves still in the game and on the alliance that don’t identify as blood elves.

1+1 = 2

Rainbows appear after a storm

What goes up must come down

And high elves are still in the alliance.

So? High elves are playable and it’s been reinforced multiple times that Alliance isn’t getting a straight copy of a playable Horde race (which is what would happen,) and very soon blood elves will have more customization including the ability to use blue eyes, making it so that you can play as any kind of high elf that you’d like.

The Horde is waiting for you if you want to play a high elf. It’s just as if someone wants to play a human/dwarf/gnome/etc. you have to play alliance.

Lore puts them on the Horde side. The only thing that puts them on Alliance side are a few peoples head canon.

Actually it’s people like you who are in denial.

they want a lotr lore that does not exist in wow, they don’t rly want elf lore.

And since most of it is Headcanon, they only care about aesthetic, as long they get the white and blond blue eyes elves, lore can be bend and twisted in anyway so they get that, that including even by giving Void elves blood elf color.
