Which falls completely flat when you realize that the Horde were given blue skinned Elves. Where is the ā€œIf you want to play blue skinned elves, play Allianceā€ statement? Hypocrite.

Literally the only thing that matters.

ā€œTheyā€™re the sameā€ just like Republicans and Democrats are ā€œthe sameā€, or the way English and Americans are ā€œthe sameā€.

Wellā€¦ yeah. Republicans and democrats are not completely separate racial groups.

Ah, so a Black Democrat is a European. Got it. :rofl:

Besides ā€œraceā€ isnā€™t a pure biological descriptor. After all, Orcs from Orgrimmar and the Magā€™har Orcs are made up of the same race, and in many cases even the same exact people. Yet theyā€™re listed as separate races. Kul Tirans are a ā€œdifferent raceā€ from the people of Stormwind, yet you could take a handful and mix them up and you would never be able to tell the difference.

sorry bud but theres 0 diff between the blood elves of either faction visually unlike the races you just listed. dems just the facts. i would settle for blood elves being able to choose either faction like pandas but to waste a new allied race spot for alliance by just renaming blood elves ā€œhigh elvesā€ would be a HUGE missed opportunity. especially since only a small but vocal minority of the player base is asking for that :smile:

I already know you donā€™t know what youā€™re talking about. You donā€™t need to reiterate it.

First of all, there are no Blood Elves on the Alliance. And there are no High Elves on the Horde.

Secondly, Blood Elves have glowing Green or Yellow eyes. High Elves have muted glowy Blue eyes, because they arenā€™t hyper tapped into the Crackwell like Blood Elves are. Blood Elves also have redder skin and hair compared to the High Elves. Those are noticeable physical changes that have happened since the two groups split, and itā€™s only been around 20 years.

Finally, there are vast ideological and political differences between the two groups.

But if you want to remain as blind to it as you are being, you may as well become a Demon Hunter and cut your eyes out.
