I feel like it’d be more accurate to call them trust fund babies though in reasoning to them not working heh 
It’s a rough job economy at the moment.
They were a premiere force at lordaeron. Are fought numerous times throughout the campaign.
Were a large force for an alliance invasion.
Are present for island expeditions.
Are dotted allnover the place

I find it unlikely that fans changed anything, because then there also may be sethrak instead of mechagnomes. I suspect however that the gilgoblins may have been a thought at some point during a development stage, and fit in thematically with the expansion.

It’s amazing how much the same people still resort to repeated speculation, pretentious nitpicking at what they consider is valid, and in a few cases just straight up cringe (mostly from fyre and her goblin mage alt)
People who aren’t opposed generally refer to lore and what’s been shown to us in game since wotlk.
A friendly reminder high elves becoming playable would have no zero on your life.
Your gameplay would continue as usual, and the blood elf story would continue as usual.
The fact that people would prefer seeing them as npcs rather than players is absurd.
I mean it’s one thing wanting Vereesa and the high elves dead because you dislike them sure, but choosing to ignorantly disregard their existence since wotlk is just silly…
Especially considering “voidified” blood elves, fat humans, antler taurens and cyborg gnomes who came out of the blue, were classified as their own race.

You’re kind of doing that now aren’t you?
Let alone Starla is her own person.
It would impact the diversity of the game in a negative way, and move a Horde race into the alliance because of skin color. So yes, it has an effect on my gameplay.
It has zero effect on your life with them not being playable on the alliance.
Yours can continue as usual without them as well. Bat swings both ways.
I think its absurd wanting a Horde race for the Alliance.
I don’t know, sounds like something you made up in your head to slander those not agreeing with you. Don’t believe anyone disagreed with them existing so this is made up in your head.
Kul tirans , antler tauren, cyborg gnomes, are all considered humans, tauren, and gnomes respectively. SO they stayed with their respective faction.
Only void elves are their own race.
Having tentacles, purple blood, and a lack of a conection of a sunwell says quite a bit.

I think it would enhance Blood Elf story personally, but generally this statement sticks out to me as I really do believe you are right here, even if it didn’t enhance it like I believe it’ll remain unchanged, and at the same time allowing so many kind RP lore loving people play their much desired and beloved Alliance race.

Like how the game is diverted now because more people are chosing to roll Horde over Alliance?
I don’t see that negative impact there.

In your opinion. Which is all any of this is. In my opinion it dilutes the faction divide and in my opinion that’s a bad thing. I think it would be genuinely bad for the game. I’ve held this view for years, you telling me…
…doesn’t change that - at all. It simply creates a confrontational environment where it’s borderline impossible to have anything resembling dialogue on the subject with you since you’ve declared my position to be absurd.
No one is…
…I’ve seen no “High Elves don’t exist” comments as if there are no High Elf NPCs in the game. And I’ll highlight this bit…
…and I’ll point you right back to insults not creating an environment where anyone should think it’s worth their time to have a meaningful dialogue on the subject with you.

This is just false. They’re still thalassians. They share the same history, act like them, talk like them and even still associate with both High Elves and Blood Elves. They’re still thalassians.

They have been permanently genetically altered…almost completely unmade into discorporate void entities, saved at the last minute from the final transformation - but not saved from transforming into what they are. And what they are is GMO-Thalassians. They are a genetic offshoot of the Thalassian race. His statement is not false.

Fyre’s numbers on high elves go down every time she talks about them, but yes most others do acknowledge they exist.

I find it hard to believe NE DH or DK’s or BE DH etc are of the same race. But VE’s are now not considered Thalassian? They still speak it, they still look it, and act it.

They’re still Thalassian Elves.
The classic Orcs have gone through a very similar transformation and they’re still orcs. They don’t share the same skin colour and they’re much bigger and bulkier than the regular orcs.
Void Elves speak the thalassian language, share their heritage, share their DNA and history. They’re still 100% thalassian elves.
Even Ion has said they’re just another flavour of high elves.
