Why so much hate over high elf options

Welp, that was certainly a series of words.

In general, thereā€™s literally no reason ANY consumer should be pleased about less options. Gamers are bizarrely corporate protectionist and itā€™s really very weird. My whole life older people told me games would rot my brain, and watching a generation of kids grow up to be corporate propaganda mouth pieces makes me think maybe they werenā€™t as dumb as I thought they wereā€¦

Itā€™s human nature to villify others to excuse their own bad behavior. Itā€™s a sign theyā€™re probably not a very nice person.

Would be nice if they had the courtesy to make a little bit of sense at least.

Horde: Wait, Alliance are get cool things too?!

Ion: Yeahā€¦ apparently thereā€™s no more Alliance players doing high end content and about 3 horde to 1 alliance doing PvP. Maybe giving them elves will fix it?

Horde: ā€¦ wait, Alliance get cool things too?!

Ion: sigh. Think how many blood elves will go back to Alliance now.

Horde: ā€¦ Shoulda lead with that.

I wouldnā€™t sweat them. Theyā€™re hurting their point more than helping it.

So do Cezol and Call, but they at least have the courtesy to just sling around petty insults and not delve into some sort of reverse vampires situation

Ghosts only have as much power as you give them.

Iā€™m just glad I wasnā€™t the only one confused lol :rofl:

Itā€™s actually a fairly well documented piece of human psychology that humans DO NOT like choice and tend to seek out the option that lets them think the least. Itā€™s why your favorite meal at your favorite restaurant is probably all youā€™ll ever order or, barring that, you rarely choose something outside that variety. Itā€™s also why your brain can shut down when you have, say, 50 different varieties of potato chip.

Iā€™ve seen a lot of horrific behavior from the helfers that have caused me to orient against their behavior.

Aside from the constant demands, Iā€™ve seen a helfer threaten to quit over transgender representation, one spewing anti-blm talking points. The caustic behavior of Dr. Femur, passive aggressive emoji dog, and smug parade guy donā€™t help any. Obnoxious junkergnome is the icing on the cake.

Why would anyone be sympathetic to their cause?

Except it isnā€™t a break from tradition. Itā€™s still orcs vs humans as the main priority. Not to mention I donā€™t believe you would another tradition break in the form of factions merging :eyes:

Bruh, Blizz is play d20 strats. Velfs for preordering BFA and then High Elf options for SL. Next expansion is going to be half of the hairstyles.

See Iā€™m not happy cause they stuck half-baked customization options to ā€œvoidā€ elves. If I wanted to be a high elf I can only pick 3 different hair styles (cause the rest have the void tingle to em), I cant be a paladin (even though high elves canonically can be pallies), I donā€™t get pure white hair, I donā€™t get tattoos, etcā€¦

I wont speak for others but I donā€™t want anymore compromises in the topic of high elves. We have been asking for this for over a decade and they compromise once with void elves. A race that literally had ZERO lore to them until they just shoved some weak excuse of a story in to try to make sense of it (blood elf loyalists turn purple and decide to join the Alliance? LOL!). Now they give us another compromise with giving void elves pale skin tones and blue eyes. But what high elves are is more than just pale skin tones and blue eyes. We need that albino white hair, we need the tattoos, WE NEED PALLIES! So yeah, Iā€™m just upset from the opposite side of the spectrum.

Edit: Forgot to mention we cant even hide entropic embrace. Before yall say anything let me stop you right there. I donā€™t want the racial removed. I want the void tint hidden as an OPTION.

Just wondering. Do you think just because people have asked for something, they have the right to get it?

Whoa whoa, Hold onā€¦

The Junkergnome is super polite and fun, how dare you.

Because most people donā€™t have narcissistic personality disorders and form their world view off of one or two forum posters?
