Why does horde hate Void Elfs?

[Siersha-proudmoore]

Because its apparently the only horde race people liked playing. So they think they got ripped off.

[Oakleåf-moon-guard]

It has come full circle – The Alliance were peeved that the Horde got the Nightborne while the Horde rubbed it in our faces…

…How the tables have turned.

@Ronalio-stormreaver

THose actually consider themselves Sin’dorei because they went over with Kael’thas after he renamed them to Blood Elves. Plus in lore most of them fell with him in Outland .

She is not talking about them. she is talking about the high elves that are in say in Allerian Hold.

I talked to some people (mostly blood elf players) and their counter argument was that Void Elf’s being accessible to the Alliance made Blood Elf less unique.

It’s a ridiculous argument because blood elves don’t look unique; they just look like humans if they made the humans in this game less ugly. (Female humans look alright but everyone knows male humans are ugly. Male blood elves are hot though. Female blood elves are on roughly the same level of attractiveness as female humans in my opinion.) Also they have green eyes and pointy ears but that’s about it. Also lol @ talking about being unique while playing probably the most played race in the game

[Näglfär-tichondrius (Näglfär)]

Honestly I often forget they were even given to you at all, same with nightborne for us.

[Breadisfunny-turalyon (Breadisfunny)]

because they are abominations.

[Magnificent-wyrmrest-accord]

@Púppý-stormrage

how they refer them as well such as “fake blood elfs”, “mutants”, etc

i prefer soulless clone

@Púppý-stormrage

I hardly see Alliance players complain about the fact that the Horde got Nightborne

nightborne have a unique model and aesthetic. they arent a night elf clone thats why but void elves are a straight up soulless clone of blood elves

[Andrastelle-emerald-dream]

I like void elves because it finally gave me a reason to play alliance since I can basically look like a high elf/blood elf

[Bkwalker-area-52]

Bad story plot. Basically, the leader of the blood elf wanted to give his fellow countrymen over to the alliance in a show of allegiance. It works out so well that he adds a bonus and offers all horde to them. Well, that’s how I see it. Besides he did turn on his former king. so there is that!

Dirty traitor forgot what the dark elves did to us. Plus I suspect that the ones who went over are up to something against this so-called leader of ours. What better way to get rid of disodencince.

[Murugan-hydraxis (Murugan)]

Because they stole an entire Horde race after nearly a decade and a half of spamming helf threads.

[Oghra-saurfang]

I don’t hate Void Elves.

I like killing them

[Anyn-hyjal]

I completely agree.

@Orctang-area-52

@Púppý-stormrage

Why do you dislike or like the Void Elf?

I love all elves!

On toast? In an omelette? Smothered with Hollandaise sauce?

These details are important.

[Anyn-hyjal]

You just hate me, because I’m more fabulous then you.

[Holigreen-bleeding-hollow]

I don’t care about the whole blood elf thing… but void elves are just a lame reskin… but that’s on Blizzard, plus I also won’t play a blood-elf. I don’t care for high-mountain tauren or lightborn dranei… lame reskins.

@Zaienor-stormrage

Cause it’s lazy they just copy repasted blood elf and called it a new race

No, what was lazy was Blizzard attempting to fix Vanilla’s faction imbalance by giving the Horde a “pretty” race that had been part of the Alliance since Warcraft 1, and had fought several wars against the Horde for the sake of their own survival.

[Primarch-icecrown]

The act of joining the Horde is a large part of what made Blood Elves interesting. Without it they were just your cookie cutter Tolkien elf that would have just served as human sidekick #161947.

They also made them into energy vampires and that was awesome until they weren’t. I almost want to get rid of the sunwell to make them desperate again.

Lor’themar is easily the best faction leader in the game. He may not be the strongest but he is the most competent.

[Adaia-moon-guard]

Because Horde players are extremely fragile and fear the inclusion of Void/High Elf fantasy/RP from Alliance perspective because Blood Elves are the only reason why Horde is the dominant faction, everyone knows this, but doesn’t want to admit it.

[Brewa-hyjal]

@Meezah-moon-guard

I see it like this: due to the ever incessant whining of the alliance players over High Elves, Blizzard made a race out of nowhere to justify giving them the Blood Elf model without actually giving them high elves directly as a way to not piss off the Horde players (and contradict themselves since they already stated that high elves are technically part of the horde already).

It’s a dumb race with an even dumber lore created as a “maybe now you will finally shut up” from Blizzard that actually backfired and made the helf crowd whine even worse because not only they got the model they did not deserve, but they just want more and more, in fact it’s the only allied race to receive extensive new customization options when Blizzard made the core races “revamp” early in SL, they very specifically said only the core races were getting new stuff, yet alliance players cried so freaking much that they ended up getting more new stuff on their new allied race than pretty much any other core race did.

This is why I hate void elves, they only exist because Blizzard got tired of you guys crying on their ears.

Spot on.

As for this question:

@Púppý-stormrage

I hardly see Alliance players complain about the fact that the Horde got Nightborne

A. Nobody in the Horde asked for Nightborne.
B. Barely anybody plays Nightborne.
C. You could move Nightborne to Alliance and nobody would care.

[Drakthull-grobbulus]

Personally I enjoyed the crying of blood elves when blizzard gave high elf aesthetic to void elves.

Also glad they lost their uniqueness

Blood elves folks are equally as obnoxious and annoying as high elfers. So I have no sympathy for them
