Does he have a history as well? I dont know him.
Yes. Much more of a history of what you were accusing that person of having than they could ever hope to achieve. Just blue flavored

I see, well the same goes then.
Only reason I said anything because I Thought this conversation was going into that direction as it commonly does.
I could not care less if someone thinks some Elf is a wife incert to please/displease red or blue team.
I mean, the Knaak thing isn’t exactly out there. Especially not in regards to Vereesa being mainly created to be a love interest for what is at very least a favored character he made up.

The guy could have modeled her after his actual wife for all i care.
I mean, Rhonin was always a mess of way too special character syndrome. Something shoehorned into an existing story that takes away from the other characters (wasn’t he back there teaching magic to the highborne or something similar style OPness?)
And until they took her up to use for SC in Wrath, she was mainly just there as his love interest. just a really thin character without much going on.

Rhonin? The guy who died in Cata?
Yes. The one who Velveeta was made to be the love interest of. Just kind of additional evidence that Knaak was a bit of a hack

How…is making love interests in writing bad?
It’s not bad in and of itself.
But it can be done badly.
And when it’s making up a new character related to other important characters to be the love interest of your self insert character that is the bestest at everything, you aren’t setting yourself up for success in that regard.

I thought the writing was fine. People self incert all the time.
And it can detract from the story.
Like the war of the ancients stuff, where rather than telling the story of that war it ends up being a time travel thing, where the new character is mentoring the ones we already knew and fixing their mistakes.

Well yeah, there can be good writing and there can be bad writing
Vereesa was part of Sylvanas’ trial. And again, Blizzard could have given us any other NPC to show up in Warlands for their idealized Alliance vs Horde and yet they chose a high elf npc instead of any of the other Alliance races.
And yet war after war they keep sending troops to help the Alliance. It is almost like gasp it doesn’t matter. Hell, if you want a faction that should be even less, we should be talking about the Pandarens. At best, only one school and two villages joined the two factions.
Again, 80% of the draenei died even before Warcraft 1. Deaths do not matter in WoW.
Said NPC I linked did not have voice lines and only attack noise.

Not all the time but when they do, it’s often bad. Because it’s way too obvious. Hence why people started to hate Thrall during Cata. Comics are even worse with this. Where they change characters established for 60-80 years completely because one writer wants to put themselves into the story.
It’s likely less annoying for Rhonin because he didn’t live long. But poor Vereesa didn’t get any real development even with his departure. Just some bit parts here and there. Neither being fully realized characters.
And again, is an AU character from a universe where the event that caused the split never happened.
Yes, and it’s never huge numbers, and hasn’t really been shown since Legion.
Nope, just matters how Blizz treats that group in game.

And again that is not the point. The point is Blizzard themselves consider the high elves as an Alliance race. Hence adding them to their AU roster.
As oppose to anyone else? Like Legion was the last time the draenei(nearly anyone actually) were in full force.
And in this matter, they treat the high elves better then most of the playable races even though they keep saying “it is nearly exctinct” they still managed to add them to nearly every expansion.
It’s a what if they had stayed with the Alliance. But if they had all stayed, they’d have become crazy zealots reality.
