Barrens chat was very much active even well into WotLK. Why in the hell did they decide to split it in two and thus forever killing the one zone where there was as much ingame activity in leveling as there was in chat? We have shirts saying “I survived Barrens chat” for crying out loud. Not Feralas, not Ashenvale, not even Elwynn, Duskwood or Redridge…

Looking at these again, I’m a bit peeved that the BElf levelling gear has two Alliance tints (Alliance Blue/gold, HElf/VElf blue/white/silver) while the max level VElf gear has one debatably Horde colour (red/black looking closer to Venthyr than Horde shades) and no explicitly BElf colourations.
Replace the hideous white/amber/teal colour option with red/gold/green of belves tyty

skill issue. a full heroic clear of halls of origination was harder and felt more rewarding than any mythic+ ever will.
or original state end time. eesh. if you got sylvanas or baine you could be there a while with wipes
I don’t really mind, the blood elf gear has at least one undeniably blood elven colour palette and it doesn’t need more than that, nor is there any Horde race that really works well with the aesthetic of the void elf gear in the first place. Though I do find it funny that four of the six void elf gear colour palettes boil down to “various shades of blurple.”
My only peeve is that the blood elven colour palette has changed from red, gold, black and green to red, gold, white and blue.
Yes, I know, blood elves were never into fel stuff and it was all a part of the deception of Kael’thas and the edgy blood elves of the Burning Crusade that people reminisce about never actually existed.
However, I liked the old blood elven aesthetic and now blood elves can’t even wear the blood elf heritage set without looking suspect and out of place in Midnight’s Silvermoon City, what with all of the fel green gemstones inlaid in the armour.

The fractal gazebo floating in the sky in the second-to-last image is pretty horrifying.

So apparently, in Haranar, Halduron can “understand the voice of the roots”, which would be a nice little addition to him being a Farstrider(and them using Druidic-magic, where Dark Rangers replaced that with Necromancy) and it might even, perhaps, maybe, lead to him becoming the first Thalassian Elf Druid and there leader? I wouldn’t be against it, tbf!
Ofcourse that would mean Vereesa or Alleria would replace him as Ranger-General, probably, lmao and that would suck

I mean, Farstriders already have the ability to communicate with the natural world like trees and animals.

Wasn’t there a “druid” working for Keal’thas in Outland
I could swear they had a botanist who used druid spells in one of the dungeons.

Yeah he’s a boss in Botanica. High Botanist Freywinn. He uses tree form and tranquillity.

He used Arcane magic to bend nature to his will, afaik.
Kinda like that raid boss in Suramar!
In Midnight we get specific mention that it is one of Farstriders’ duty to tend to the spirits and animals of the land as kind of proto-druids! In TBC we had them deal with the treants and ancients, though it wasn’t confirmed at the time whether the tree tenders were Farstriders or a separate (then-unnamed) order. We help them on a quest to bring back the Spirit of the River Elrendar, as well as help them with the life cycle of the manawyrms which are important to the arcane ecosystem of Quel’Thalas.

While I would love blood elf (and nightborne) druids, I rather we get the balance back.
Horde already got more druid races than Alliance! So Dwarf druids first!

Tbh i thought it was pretty clear from tbc that farstriders are functionally druids. They might not shape shift but they bond with animals, communicate snd tend to plants etc.
They might not be the class ‘Druid’ but in every way that matters they basically are a similar concept in that culture.

At least in Classic and TBC Hunter had a fairly big ‘nature guy who speaks for the trees’ flavour in a bunch of places. Less than druid but still fairly prominent.
