I like the fact Blood Elves look good. And I couldn’t care less if other people don’t. Their loss? Whatever.
2/10 you can do so much better.

the current expectations are extremely low, there is not much damage that can be done.

It’s the only reason you’re playing them, let’s be honest here.
Well, ok, you do have a point there.

All elves are trolls!
All elves are devolved and mutated trolls.
Lord Grand Marshal Othmar Garithos was a noble and glorious champion of the Alliance. He, ofcourse, should be thanked for driving the Blood Elves to the horde, that was a very good thing.

He was just a man trying to solve Alliance Bias.
Just as Arthas did for living bias.

Yeah, you keep driving people to my faction.
With every comment, you just bring more people to me. Thank you for that, it’s good to be the Queen.
You’re welcome!
Belves are a gateway drug to the sheer heat of Zandalari chicks.

The Alliance might as well be deleted and the game, renamed to “World of the Horde.”
I mean, the Horde is the only important faction anyway.

Rude.
You’re not wrong but that’s rude!

You’re wrong and I still don’t care, rolled this in TBC, only paladin option horde-side.
Not really though… One has to stretch ones imagination quite a bit to make them actually fit in there. (They’re not as out of place as they were anymore though, with the Nightborne to keep them company)
Seeing as the Orcs literally attempted to wipe the Elves off the face of Azeroth by allying with their arch-enemies the Amani trolls.
If the Orcs and the Amani succeeded in breaching the walls of Silvermoon it would be a genocide.
And if one makes the argument that it doesn’t matter because that was the “Old Horde, not the current Horde”.
Then one can’t make the argument that Garithos’ actions should matter either as that was the Alliance of Lordaeron, not the Alliance of Stormwind.
That’s why you have the quests in the beginning of the Blood Elf starting zone, where the Night Elven army is invading for no reason and sabotaging Silvermoon property.
It’s to force the narrative in the direction where they join the Horde.

Well. Alliance didn’t exactly help them either. Neither for that nor for arthas invading them for the sunwell and killing them all. Then when alliance came, they sent blood elves for a suicide mission and decided to execute them all for the sake of seeking aid.
They joined the horde because sylvanas helped them in their time of need. unlike alliance.
Well, they didn’t exactly ask for help either…
By the time of the Third War, The Kingdom of Quel’Thalas under leadership of King Anasterian Sunstrider had officially cut ties with the Alliance of Lordaeron.
Alleria was even ordered to return to Silvermoon, but she refused, a she was one of the few that argued that Quel’Thalas couldn’t stand on its own.
And even if they were still allies, the Alliance of Lordaeron wasn’t exactly in any shape to render aid, as Lordaeron and most of the other human kingdoms were left leaderless and in ruins.
First of all, that was Othmar Garithos. A man who was only in charge because everyone else above him in the chain of command were dead.
Secondly, the Alliance of Lordaeron was almost eradicated by this point in time.
They existed in name only.
The few remaining were just the ragged band of survivors and stragglers.
Thirdly, that was the Alliance of Lordaeron, not the current Alliance of Stormwind.
Yes, which is why I mentioned the quests added in the Blood Elf starting area.
The Blood Elves had no reason in-lore to join the Horde. But the developers wanted them to join the Horde, so the devs then made a reason for them to join the Horde.
Up until that point in time there was literally no reason the Blood Elves would join the Horde.
But that’s how lore in any universe works- it exists because the writer(s) want it to.

Of course… But there’s different ways of going about it. Good and bad.
Some things fit the set lore easily, some require a bit of retconning or stretching of current lore, and others break lore entirely.
George R.R. Martin could write aliens into Game of Thrones, and it would be official canon.
But that doesn’t make it good writing.
