I do not get this at all. I can only assume these guys feel funny when watching Disney’s Robin Hood, and project their self-hatred on anything vaguely endearing that features a beastrace.
Unironically had the same thing happen over a year ago during the the Redridge campaign. As my Forsaken priest was naturally a healer he went around offering to patch up any injured comrades through a mix of magic and mundane ways.
Cue to the insufferable Blood Elves present who promptly dumped half a dozen “mortally wounded” (as they seem to have some weird obsession with becoming in these things) characters in what I had set up as an infirmary. So I go around offering to each of the wounded elves if they’d like patching up.
Annnnd blanked. Each one. We had literally people bleeding out on the floor while I was standing there, spell and scalpel in hand ready to save them. “Reee u will not touch them filthy forsaken.”
“well okay enjoy your afterlife i guess.”
I wasn’t sure whether or not it was just bad roleplayers, a bad guild, ooc prejudice against Forsaken characters or the guild tag I had under my name at the time. Either way it was hilarious to watch 5 or 6 elves writhe in pain and watch a stupidly melodramatic scene of one on a deathbed when I was literally standing there bemusedly waiting for them to realise what was going on.
I really don’t understand this weird tendency for Blood Elves to get either
1.) Captured then insist on some sort of prison torture rp or
2.) get themselves so beaten up but refuse to be healed.
If I was you in that situation as a Forsaken, I would have just waddled around placing Blight cannisters about to release deadly gas that would have raised them as mindless ghouls.
