High elves are a race for nostalgia shills who can’t stand the idea of any elves that aren’t friends with humans in classical tolkien writing.
High elf fans also like to ignore Wracraft 3 which was indeed the defining factor of current elves and why Quel’thalas decided to leave the alliance for good.
Or just a race for people who really liked Warcraft 2 and then, when they heard about World of Warcraft, hoped to play an Elven Archer / Ranger on the alliance side. It’s really not that difficult or complex. But go on, keep making blanket statements and assumptions if you think it helps your case.
That’s another strawman, nobody ignores or denies the existence of the Blood Elves or their story. Still, it’s a very stupid argument, because it goes both ways; maybe- just for once - use your own logic:
Why do you like to ignore that Blizzard keeps confirming the existence of Quel’dorei in WoW, in the Alliance, even in Midnight?
Oh the allaince NPCs crap talking the Horde is nothing new for sure. more confirmation o alliance bias while I can’t even talk back to them. Has been happening since MOP in SoO when the alliance player could insult Vol’jin with no consequences.
the High Elf NPCs in Midnight have nothing to do with the playable race but Blizzard telling the Horde palyers how much they hate them for merley existing. Happens all the time and Horde fans are angry. I saw the dialouge on Portergauge and man Blizzard isn’t hiding their favoritism anymore.
Ignoring Warcraft 2 I still don’t see a good reason to not get high elves. They have quite an interesting backstory and have ton of story potential going forward or are we seriously going to pretend that Earthen, Mechagnomes or Void Elves have a more interesting story? Most people probably don’t even understand the Earthen story. I mean I don’t and I’ve played TWW campaign multiple times. It’s just so uninteresting
Honestly I have a hard time understanding why anyone would argue against high elves. Why do people get so personally offended about getting a cool new race?
Because high elf fans are annoying little creatures who only making their demands heard by telling blood elf fans they want to steal everything they currently have because the race itself is 100% identical apart from the eye color. Anyhting the high elves gain in the lore will be doing so by taking it away from the other elf race that been here since 2007. It was never about the race for the high elf crowd it is about the faction. That is the real discourse eve if they make up dishonest lies.
What are you even talking about? The next expansion is all about the blood elves and the sunwell and they’ve remastered your entire zone. What do you mean that attention will be taken away from you?
And if you hate High Elves so much why don’t you hate Void Elves equally? They’re the exact same model, animations, customization as blood elves except they’re void-infused high elves instead of just being pure high elves
Also essentially this yes. They are not new. They are faction swapped Sin’dorei who instead of forming a kind of independant partnership with races who actually aided them when they needed the help the most became the biggest cheerleaders of humanity.
So you’re happy that we get new races like void elves with weak lore lacking their own zones and identity just so your elf race has the most interesting zone? lmao
Again, are you really unhappy that your elf zone is becoming “less unique”? It doesn’t even make sense for silvermoon to be aggressive against the alliance since the blood elves are literally just high elves
Your argument basically boils down to “muh race must be #1 “
