Why does Blizzard give *almost* what some people have been asking for a long time?

While people have been begging and pleading and sacrificing legions of gnomes for upright forsaken for decades

So because blizzard doesn’t have the time to sit there and just churn out lots of customizations that you approve of, they should just reuse assets because you don’t like the choices you currently have for void elves.

Void Elf hairstyles are fine, you don’t like them that’s fine but you wanting the Blood Elf ones play a Blood Elf instead this isn’t a hard concept.

People like you act so childish over hairstyles it’s cringe.

Because they’re stubborn like me

And Drak’thyr are elite dragon warriors btw

Reading a lot the posts in this thread strikes me as weird to note many players apparently think a company developing a game should be akin to a restaurant. That being the players order what they want and that’s that.

But making a game , crafting a story - is an artistic type of calling. Just like a script writer and a director of the next blockbuster action flick have an idea they want to bring to life or an author that starts writing a fantasy novel has their own visions and idea of creating something- it’s not a design by people committee type of endeavor.

Sure you want to appeal to people’s interests so your book is read your movie seen and your game is played but it’s still and artistic desire you are trying to realize - which boils down to “this is my work my vision, if you want another story you can write your own and that that’s your vision your story”

In short the company doesn’t need your permission or approval for their own ideas to win out in their own project.

Nothings stopping anyone from pursuing the creation of their own game story movie etc.

Ego. They refuse to ever consider they may be wrong about something

and

Spite. They refuse to ever give players what they want because they take criticism very personally. And over the years, the criticism has been heavy.

just requoting it in case you missed it.

I’m just providing suggestions. That’s… you know… part of having discussions. You’re the one throwing a hissy-fit right now and calling people dumb and childish for suggesting the implementation of more hair styles. “NOOO, I DON’T WANT IT” is also not very good argument. You can do better, try it.

Dude.
As a person who has dungeon mastered, you are not getting to play a dragon.

How about this one then Ion is who runs the show and Ion says that people like you play Void Elves can play your Void Elves with normal skin, normal hair and blue eyes and that’s essentially all High Elves are so you have more than enough, get it yet?

I don’t make the rules and neither do you and thankfully it’s not on your side anyway because going back he figures if you want to be a normal High Elf play a Blood Elf.

That’s easy.

You are focused on getting what you want, and the devs are focused on giving you what you want without wrecking the game.

Take the W.

Nelfs have the best racials anyway.
:wink:

And Blizz has never changed their minds about stuff, huh? Spoiler: It happens a lot.
I also didn’t ask what Ion’s opinion is, I asked about arguments from you why this is a negative thing that should never happen. You’re just saying it’s bad and don’t provide any further inside.
Or is it some kind of sacrilege to you to question some things about the game’s design?

It’s actually Dwarves and Dark Iron Dwarves especially in max/min content.

Dark Iron Dwarves are juggernauts in PVP.

I mean of the elves.

It’s more I follow what has happened, people wanted to be able to play pretend on Void Elves which is why they asked for blonde hair, fair skin and blue eyes, you have all that on Void Elves so use it.

Don’t like the racial that makes you glow, macro it off so it doesn’t proc.

Your hairstyles are fine which leads me back to if you don’t like them don’t play a Void Elf play a Blood Elf, this isn’t rocket science.

They really do sometimes.
Like, the whole Classic thing? They were hardline against that for years, so much so that there was a whole meme developed around the request called the Wall of No.
And now I needn’t say a word more, because history speaks for itself.

OP: Sounds like your mom and dad never said “no” to you? They didn’t do you any favours.

It is, because you still didn’t provide any arguments to why this shouldn’t happen and why it would be bad for the game.
I repeat: “You don’t need it, stop providing feedback” isn’t an argument.

Easy answer you don’t need it, you really don’t, you and people like you have already taken more than enough from Blood Elves for Void Elves, it’s time Void Elves get things that are just them and under the void umbrella not the wannabe Blood Elf umbrella, you want different hairstyles ask for that but stop trying to take more of our stuff.

I still haven’t seen a good argument as to why they should just take the blood elf hairstyles and give them to void elves. And no I don’t consider “I don’t like the void elf hairstyle choices” a good argument. Or “Because it’s more customization” because asking for new hairstyles is also more customization, even if they can’t/won’t do it in a timeframe that you like.
