Because Warden was never a thing in the game for Night Elf players. Blood Knight Armor existed with the introduction of BC.
That’s a complete different thing.
They got rid of iconic years ago, I don’t see why now is the point they suddenly would stop.
And btw. Dark Ranger Armor anyone?
Well now is a good time to kick off about it.
Yep, and I kicked off about Void Elves getting Dark Ranger customisations when that happened as well.
There shouldn’t be void elves, still you play it.
Hypocrit?
I don’t play Void elf. Look again.
this just showsblizzard will literally make a big poo poo on alliance lore as long as their pet special faction horde can have cool stuff
Sorry, I took you for the other guy
Like I just told you, then I simply don’t share this defeatist sentiment. It’s not what I desire for the game, so I’m going to tell them that I disapprove.
If you want to clap and cheer at their design direction, or stay passive and say nothing, then you do you.
And I do me.
I haven’t expressed having a problem with the addition of Void Elves in WoW, so no, not a hypocrite at all.
I approve of Void Elves for the exact reason that I expressed earlier in the thread: That Blizzard have introduced and made them available through lore and story and tied them to the Warcraft fabric.
I approve of adding things to the game that way.
I disapprove of just throwing it onto the Trading Post or attaching it to an achievement for logging in.
But there is a toy in-game were we can look like Wardens since Legion anyways.
If set to just NELFS which classes and specs are next ?
It bascially looks like a HD version of T3 druid which all leather wearer’s can wear aswell.
I am not agiasnt your view btw just saying the other statements others can make.
I’d say keep the mount in, just because of the effects it has. I also agree that the Burden set should be restricted to Nelves, and for another reason as well: It’s a weird reward for a year of TP activities. The reward could (or should) be a box of racially neutral items-a mount, pet and a transmog set.
I really love their mentality regarding the trading post. Maybe they could calm the nightelf community down by giving Demon Hunters a Night Elf Lunar Skin after we see the new teldrassil, since the Legion is gone and demon hunters need a new purpose 
They could do the same for blood elves and give demon hunters a Sun Fury skin aswell in the same patch, but honestly: we need some alliance bias anyway
Dayum seems nice
While I agree with you on that, the warden set is something that should be restricted to night elves only, I think we have crossed a line forca long while now concerning this sort of stuff.
A recolor of the judgement set, a good looking paladin set, is available to every plate wearer.
Every leather wearer has access to the frost wolf armor, as far as I recall even Alliance.
And many more that I cannot recall currently.
They can go with restricting the armor, but I would prefer if they give something else, equally cool to every race to make up for it.
That is a lot of work however, that Blizzard will not do.
I see the warden set as a simple loyalty reward for being subbed for a year, had it been a NElf exclusive it would have been like a second heritage armor (I know they don’t have one yet, but neither do other races). It wouldn’t work as a heritage armor because far from every NElf is a warden, so why not just give it to everyone. As I see it more cosmetics is “more better”, and I really don’t see this as a problem.
Honestly it’s kind of hard to understand what sort of rules Blizzard has regarding, certain iconic pieces of Gear 
I agree, the Warden set should be NE exclusive.
Cheers.
What line? Honestly there’s no such a thing anymore. It seems like the game has more of a “let’s have fun during the time WoW has left” mindset now (replace fun with money from Blizzard pov). Once you start allowing more I don’t believe there’s going back so imo it’s too late, this is obviously their new direction and plan with WoW.
Blizzard being Blizzard again, nothing new here.
holy words. Exactly this.
I would add “without overthinkin”.
I fundamentally disagree.
Turning a reward that takes (at least) a year to get into something only 1 race would be able to use would be ‘the dumbest decision in a long time’. That would almost negate the ‘alure’ of such a reward because it would only be usable by a small part of the playerbase.
Now, if they had made a more ‘neutral’ but still cool looking set that didn’t fit one particular race and had made THAT the year reward, that would’ve been fine with me.
I don’t care for the set personally; I’ve never had a ‘I’d like to play a warden’ fantasy.
But then again; I’m not an elf enthousiast in general.
Yeah, me too.
Besides, if I were a Horde player who didn’t care about Night Elf stuff, then the Warden set is probably a pretty lame reward to get for an achievement that takes 12 months to complete.
Why don’t Blizzard just replace the Warden set with a mount or transmog that would be cool and appealing to everyone? Why settle on the Warden set that’s obviously going to be controversial when they can easily pick something else that would be less controversial and make more people happy?!
Associate Game Director Jeremy Feasel says in the Community Council chat that Blizzard just wanted to make something cool.
Okay, fair enough, but that hopefully doesn’t limit the creative possibilities to the Warden appearance only.
Just make something else that’s “cool” and use that as the reward. And bonus points for giving the Warden set to Night Elves through some relevant story quest.
I don’t think I’m asking for a lot here to be honest (at least not to start with).
