The truth I already know and it’s too obvious, it’s been ever since WoW came out, hence the subject forever being alive. Players will never stop asking for it.
As of yet, and against everything, High Elves are not a playable race.
Enjoy.
Oh ok, actually you’re absoultely right.
You could play belf, then they became playable race.
You could play helf before that, and against all reasons are not yet a playable race.
If you’r nitpicking and corrections invalidated my point, I’d care.
Ok so I read it now so that people stop being mediocre enough to take that as an argument against high elves being a playable race, just among every other logical fallacy and cognitive dissonance I’ve seen on this thread, definitely not to mention at all the jokes, or the memes, or the videos.
Ok. Pedantic and pointless. “took fel”, “got fel” idc, it makes them different.
“Turning them into Void Elves”, hence no longer High Elves. Hence not High Elves, just as Belfs are no longer High Elves. Thanks
A name change is not the only difference between Blood and High elves, and even yourself have pointed out other ones, but I already quoted you. Anyway just as you keep accidentally pointing more differences out, this counterpoint you gave says nothing about High Elves not having to be a playable race, just as every single of your pedantic nitpicks.
Again, you gave no argument against High Elves, ever, just some empty details about some facts.
“The only diff…” then they are not the same pal. Shhh.
“The only difference between Blood Elves and Void Elves is one of vague political and ideological differences”. Yet we have Void Elves. Same with every other race that has an alusive allied race in the game. Many would say there’s even a greater difference between blood elves and high elves than any other allied race that belongs to the same faction(even less of a difference) of its allusive race.
They keep telling this insane lie “because they are the same”. Then void elves are the same, but they’re playable. Mag’har orc, lightforged draenei, etc etc etc, and they’re playable. Stop saying it, you’re insane.
That’s not up to you.
Seeing them as “improved” isn’t either. What anyone likes more than the other is not up to you, just as the entire situation about there not being High Elves as playable yet.
You ask “why not…”, as if I hadn’t typed enough, now you want my own personal reasons why I’ll never play Void Elves? Huh, um, no.
Oh yeah? Why? Wanna elaborate? Cause honestly, if I didn’t read you at first it’s because it’d be a waste of time, AND IT WAS. The stunts people make to bitterly keep High Elves out of playable races are risible at best, reading you and replying will make NO DIFFERENCE, it’s obvious everything anyone says against them being a playable race is made up and obeys no good reasoning, so why would you listen to me at all? why read you at all?
Alright, so don’t play them when they come out! I don’t like void elves, it’s the only race I’d never play, in fact I did’t play since the BfA prepatch because of that among other reasons. And yet, they exist, they’re also proof that blizzard can do absolutely anything they want about any subject, race, class or anything whatsoever, so your lore scraping stands for nothing against what they can do if they want at any time either.
To each their own! hopefully this guy who keeps copy and pasting this repost obsessively over and over again will enjoy, for some bitter, creepy, weird, personal reason, a more than legitimate allied race not being playable, and stop reposting the same thing like a stubborn freak. They’re not playable, relax, enjoy, as of yet, all the people you don’t want to be happy aren’t and all those who could enjoy the game because of it, aren’t, so rejoice and sod off :D!
Makes a fair difference. One doesn’t change the race in any way and the other does.
Blood Elves got radiation which changed their eyes. Nothing else.
Felblood Elves TOOK the fel and became demonic.
Very different. Very important.
While I do not generally see Void Elves as High Elves, it is still up in the air from Blizzards perspective. They haven’t directly said.
Blood Elves on the other hand are High Elves and they have commented on it several times.
High Elves are playable was my point. They’re Blood Elves. Horde side.
RP options have been provided for anyone Alliance side interested.
Its done.
This part was not for arguing for or against. It was pointing out that you were starting with incorrect information. Arguments made from that point are inherently flawed.
There are no physical differences or even notable cultural differences between High Elves and Blood Elves.
There is between Void Elves and Blood Elves, or Tauren and HMT, or Draenei and LFD.
If High Elves were on the Alliance it’d just be two of the same exact thing on both sides.
Which historically did not go well.
This was more of a poke… >.> Didn’t particularly expect a real response.
I mean sure if you want to share this info with us go ahead.
Both sides verge from simple “I don’t want this” to respectfully having differing opinions on where High Elves fit into the current lore.
You seem to just want High Elves and paint Blood Elves poorly while mistaking the lore.
And honestly, I personally, want Void elves to go forward as the main Thalassian in the Alliance. They’re objectively better as they’re a differing story to Blood Elves with differing power sources and have a lot of room to grow without just being more of the same old thing.
Still, you should get your lore correct.
Couple things, I play what I find a good story for. I in fact have a Void Elf who was a High Elf Wayfarer, and has now mastered the Void and absorbed a strong Void essence to be a Void Elf.
Also Blizzard could do whatever they’d like this is True. However they have not given Void elves the natural hair colors. So for now, they do not intend them to have them.

Uhm… I’m getting some strong vibes that remind me of Mr. “I measured the femurs”… is it just me?

High elf= quel’dorei which mean born of noble. The real born of noble are the highborn who are now named nightborn. Some also joined the night elf currently which doesn’t make them high born anymore.
The second ‘‘born of noble’’ are the elf that weren’t in Suramar when they got in a bubble and left the night elf as they still used arcane. They took the name ‘‘born of noble’’ or high elf in thalassian because they are what used to be called highborn and build the city of Quel’thalas ( high home).
Those elf left the alliance in WC3 and called themself ‘‘blood elf’’ to honor those who were killed by the lich king. Those are still the ‘’ born of noble’’ as they are still the one ruling over the kingdom of Quel’thalas ( high home).
The elf who stayed in the alliance, are the one that abandoned their kingdom and as the same moment, abandoned their nobility. Those are the one that still call themself ‘‘high elf’’ even if they lost any meaning coming with this name.
The last one are the void elf, who like the ‘‘high elf’’, aren’t part of the kingdom of Quel’thalas (high home) and lost at the same moment any nobility so any right to be call ‘‘born of noble’’ high elf.
So you may like it or not, the horde are the one with 2 race being close to a real high elf compare to the low elf of the alliance.

I call dibs for next one… jk.
In the interest of being completely fair, here…
-
Though their political and ideological divergences may be vague and unspecific, this doesn’t exactly make them unimportant – especially when we’re talking about two groups fighting for opposing hyperpowers that have already engaged in multiple world wars.
-
The original issue that split them into two camps doesn’t really need to exist, for the split to remain enforced – that event merely exposed an existing ideological divide, something we’ve seen happen in the real world time and again (i.e. originally, Canada refsed to adjoin itself with the United States because they viewed Americans as disloyal and opted to maintain their monarchical tendencies. This is no longer an issue, yet Canada remains distinct.).
Ion has addressed it, specifically from the physiological/biological angle – BE’s are a flavoring of High Elf, as are VE’s.
Not looking to be apart of an argument. Just here to share a desire to see Blizzard cave into giving High Elves because it was an easy thing to do and they messed it up by overthinking it. Give Void elves natural hair colors like blonde and MAYBE an option to identify yourself as a high elf.
You put more effort into this one. 4/20
