i would say the dark spears are more a oddity then the norm though heck up until rastakhan and his foolish pact they was pretty much the only tribe that worshiped Bwonsamdi it seemed
Yeah, but they are the horde the blood elves are allied to not the Amani.
Even when it comes to Orcs, most of them are rescued by Thrall from human internment camps and they left Eastern Kingdoms to never have to fight humans again. So I do think the difference is big enough to justify the branding.
most high elves wonât see it that way a troll is a troll a ancestral enemy the blood elves betrayed the fallen of the troll wars by siding with the horde
that said we know alleriaâs motive for not liking the horde and its not about the trolls but the orcs themselves
Right, but they lost that moral high ground long ago when they committed ethnic cleansing on blood elves during the purge of Dalaran.
Literally no one:
Blood Elves are in dire need help. Humans ignore them, night elves sabotage them.
They seek help from the horde.
OMG that is evil, we are going to the alliance.
That is high elves for you.
Sorry that makes absolutly no sense, because at that point in time where Kaelâthas and his followers went through the Dark Portal they were not allied with the Horde.
That group represented Silvermoon alone and all that was left of QuelâThalas- yet those Alleeian rangers were more concerned with the Alliance champs not confusing the with Blood Elves(not even knowing what or why) - yeah thatâs some real compelling lore going on there.
And then later the Horde comes through with groups of High Elves, and amongst those allot of civilians from SilvermoonâŚyou know, those people Alleria and her rangers protected for years and crossed the Dark Portal for to help keep them safe in the first placeâŚyouâd think that- ahh nope, only âi get angry when you confuse with Blood Elf!ââŚyeah much depth, so lore these High Elves.
As for Vereesa and the Silver Covenant, they werenât a thing back in Burning Crusade- As in they were litteraly never mentioned or alluded too before Knaakâs books and WotLK.
but blunder donât you know TBC was the GREATEST expansion ever ⌠
so it must have masterful lore and writing âŚ
And why not? He allied with Naga and Illidan Stormrage to try to get some kind of future for his race, youâre going to tell me guys like Thrall, Volâjin or Cairne are so horrible and unreasonable in comparison?
And then there was Lady Sylvanas Windrunner herself too.

Biggest problem is not players waging war about it⌠but Blizzard eating popcorn while watching it! Instead of adding proper lore! Either focus at Silver Covenant being important part of Alliance or kill them⌠or turn them into Void Elves. They should do SOMETHING because I am actually pretty tired.
I hope that those new visual options will have tons of lore attached to it!

see that would imply competence on their part but at this point Iâm convinced their just horribly incompetent and incapable of telling a consistent story
Um⌠you mean the same blood elves that helped Garrosh to bomb Theramore? xD
Donât twist the story to fit your narrative.

yupp and in so doing killing a lot of high elves that came with jaina lets be real the blood elves did a purge first!
Peoples arguments as to why it was that bad differs.
For allot of people the Blood Elves joining the Horde would have done it already - allot of those are now asking for Void Elf Paladins with blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skinâŚso go figure.
Also âHigh Elvesâ were one of the bad lore developments, for the reasons Iâm pointing out now and in my earlier posts, they make No sense in their actions, and undermine the most important parts of the Blood Elf story arch in the Frozen ThroneâŚand well, theyâre still doing do.
Beter to get rid of them, cannonicly split them between the Blood Elves and the Void Elves, time for High Elves is over(and actually has been since The Frozen Throne).
i rather they get rid of the blood elf name it was given by a man who betrayed his people to the legion in his own vanity and greed also the alliance tears would be sweet i guess
You mean the same blood ELF. No plural.
One individual to judge the whole race?
The Alliance tears? Why⌠just why are people that toxic?
Really now, go outside, breath some fresh air. This is just a game. You might even enjoy both factions.
Jeez, people come on. Itâs not like the sky is falling.
sorry i guess you didnât get that i was stereo typing the kind of responses iâve seen by the anti high elf posters
Oh, ok, sorry then 
For those who didnât play in MoP, this is the best video I found.
The silver covenant commits ethnic cleansing on blood elves because they doubt a singular sunreaver might be responsible for stealing the bell. Out of the gate you murder several blood elves in cold blood before even making the accusation, and then you go on and kill shop keepers and bystanders, even kill sunreaver dragonhawks, because god forbid, even if animals wear the flag, they must be purged.
Watch that and tell me you felt like an alliance âheroâ.
Silver Covenant never had moral superiority, and the facade that they thought they had, they lost when they committed ethnic cleansing. I honestly hope Blizzard kills/scatters them, since it makes sense with the customization options void elves are getting

Doubt, Baine warned Jaina of the attack.
And so allot of people were already evacuated, wich mustâve included those twelve or so âHigh Elvesâ there.
it could have all been avoided if Archmage Aethas Sunreaver did his duty and stopped the horde from stealing the divine bell but he choose treason to the kitrin tor and brand him self and the sunreavers as traitors many innocent blood elves was caught in the cross fire of this manâs hubris to this day this coward of a man has never come clean about his crimes and failures to uphold his oath to the Kirin tor as one of the Six
