Why so much hate over high elf options

@Zareem-rexxar

Nah, if you want a druid on alliance you play a KT

I have one and I love it the most out of all three of my Druids.

@Fezzy-draenor

… Lore is a very important and valid talking point… Otherwise there is no bar to any customization beyond the arbitrary.

That’s not what I said though, is it?

[Zareem-rexxar]

@Fezzy-draenor

I tend towards supporting what I feel makes sense.

For instance I’m against giving paladins to void elves

Same. On both accounts actually.

@Fezzy-draenor

Maybe velfs will never get hair colors. It won’t greatly affect me. I’ll fight for it cause again I think it makes sense.

But if they don’t get it I won’t worry much.

I think that’s a good attitude to have. Keep asking for the change you want to see, but also work to keep things in perspective. It’s a really hard line to work.

Right! Where else can I play a faux-grumpy grandad navy retire-y who spends his time fishing and transforming into a bark skeleton bear to entertain the rascally children (and to eat bad guys)

It is. Especially when folk claim we’re stealing something. We’re really not. Helfs and belfs have been at odds and on opposite factions the whole game. Velfs added to that lore and now we’re seeing the helfs step out and join both the Velf and Belf lines. We’re finally getting things solidified for the future.

I see a continuation of lore and story. (my opinion of course)

I’ll curtail how I said it earlier going forward. My words clearly give the wrong impressions given how Naughtymoon responded.

LOL, you make me laugh.

I get that. That’s why, even as a middle of the roader, I like this conversation because of how diverse the interpretation of the lore is when it comes to something like this. 3 million players and 3 million different interpretations.

ah! My job here is done!

If somebody gets something and in your mind that means you lost something that is an issue with yourself

[Fabbag-barthilas]

That makes no sense. You could literally apply that to muggers.

[Fezzy-draenor (Fezzy)]

@Zareem-rexxar

Also you wound me.

That said my only other max level druid Alliance side is a KT and they are legit extremely effective. Their racials are amazing.

@Boondock-myzrael

I’m not sure this is accurate to all situations.

[Naughtymoon-proudmoore (Naughtymoon)]

I think that’s easy for them to say because they are on the side that keeps taking stuff from this side.

[Boondock-myzrael]

@Fabbag-barthilas

That’s stealing. That means sombody actually lost something

If the Void elves lost their blue eyes so Blood Elves could get them then that would have merit. But the Void Elves still have their eye color so they don’t lose anything. Same in reverse. be happy players are getting more options and ask for more for yourself while it’s going on instead of trying to deny others.

My apologies. All druids are special in my eyes (even if we do get the coolest forms >.>)

I’m such a casual. I can’t even name the other racials other than haymaker (which is the best racial in the game period xD).

[Moritz-proudmoore]

Child of the sea
Thats the only one I know

[Fabbag-barthilas]

Yeah it’s funny how exclusivity never matters to the people asking for exclusivity to eat it.

[Zareem-rexxar]

I had to go look them up. I forgot Brush it off is really good to, imo. I like the tiny bit of autohealing it gives.

So you’re comparing an eye color that many would argue had validity to go to Blood Elves anyways. And comparing that to opening up an entire second visual theme in the form of Non Void skin tones which is a huge deal.

All I see is skewed ideas of sharing, and disparity, a situation that favors the Allied Race on the opposing faction when Allied Races weren’t even supposed to be a consideration per their own words at start and ambiguous at best later.

What’s funny is that people act like we are getting something from getting the blue eyes when we are the High Elves anyway and we should have had the option to have blue eyes like the golden and the green from the get go.

[Fabbag-barthilas]

When Alliance gets literal Horde stuff it’s lore, when Horde gets stuff that even has anything to do with the Alliance it’s Horde bias. Keep up.

Not sure about the get go, but definitely before now. Belfs do need a lot more to counter act at the very least their lackluster customization options.

Lets get the Nightborne some Night elf skins at the very least… and hair… gods that alone would help them alot… even if they do still need a rework.

A human toggle for Forsaken… Not sure how to explain normal skintones for them though in the lore. But Nathaniel- I mean Nathanos has a human body… While he was a special case, surely very fresh corpses could be at least temporarily in a similar boat.

[Hypêrspace-dalaran (Hypêrspace)]

i thought we had figured out a way to differentiate by just taking existing velf colors, lighting them up by several shades, and then add a black hair color option also. then belfs the warmer version of those pastels. instead blizz unlocks dk haircolors for belfs and now they have the cooler version of blue, silver white, and aqua. i dont get what they’re doing. haha
