Why does horde hate Void Elfs?

Pretty much the biggest grift the Horde fanbase has ever done is pretend that the Nightborne aren’t Night Elves.

That’s been the frame of the entire conversation. The Alliance is taking something from the Horde. But Horde didn’t take something from the Alliance.

They did, they got the coolest race of Legion. Who are Night Elves.

It’s not that the horde hates void elves it is the fact that the horde hates helfers for basically going full on Karen and getting Blizz to give them pretty much carbon copy (minus the void tendril hair) Belf skin and hair colors.

There are some of us that have Void Elves that don’t play them because of Blizz caving to them .

The lore is literally that they are former blood elves. Whereas the nightborne split off from Highborne a while ago. There is definetly a difference. It’s like saying high elves are night elves.

Well, before all these allied races there were still folks calling Belf players fake Horde.

High Elves / Blood Elves split off from Night Elves at the same time… High Elves are Night Elves. The High Elf Prince was literally a Night Elf and changed on the journey by boat.

But that’s kind of a lore consideration and not a meta consideration as well? Like, meta-consideration, Horde got Night Elves.

Horde got shaldorei, nightborne. They don’t even speak the same language, nor do they even share the same culture. Void elves literally are former blood elves.

You can make a void elf look like a blood elf, you can’t do the same for nightborne.

No, keep the Night Elf hair styles to the Night Elves… (Well, except for the new ones). The old ones still look crooked.

I think the Zandalar Troll skeleton is more alike to Night Elves than Nightborne are.

If the Horde got a copy/paste of Night Elves or Humans, like the Alliance did with Void Elves/ Blood Elves, things would have been fair.

But while Nightborne are amazing, they are not a copy/ paste of the Alliances most beloved and popular Race.

I don’t hate Void Elves, I’m a big supporter of a lessening of Faction restrictions, so it makes no sense for me to ‘hate’ any Alliance races.

However, I really dislike how entitled and demanding a small group of players have been regarding the Void Elves. I find the whole thing quite distasteful.

And hopefully with even more of the faction divide ending they end up just giving us full blown high elves and be done with it.

Honestly, with how the story is relating to the factions, it really makes no sense with the current faction restrictions in general, to with the current story. Even when they allow cross-faction instance grouping, still wouldn’t make much sense.

I mean, are we supposed to be fighting each other or are we supposed to be working with each other.

Why the ? Void Elves came from the largest faction of High Elves (Blood Elves )

Alliance high elves are a smaller faction seeing how most are Silver covenant or mages from dalaran.

Heck if anything most are like Alleria and Vereesa and their offspring would be Half Elves like Arator .

Now if they wanted to do half elves for alliance that would be cool .

Imagine comparing the Void Elves to the Nightborne, as if they were equals?

Suramar was considered by many to be the highlight of Legion, producing some of the most well regarded characters in Thalyssra, Occuleth, and Valtrois.

Do you know how rare it is in this game to produce a storyline that players enjoy?

The reasons players hate Void Elves is partially their awful in-game lore, and the obnoxious Void Elf posters begging for blonde hair.

Void elves are just a bunch of scientist that got caught up in some experiment. As I recall 10% of all surviving Quel’thalas elves did remain high elves. Also, we see surviving high elves in as far a field as Stormwind, Ironforge and Theramore, heck even in Darkshore at one time.
