Did I really? Really now?
I just said that Moontear deserves an appliance. I don’t care enough about it to even look at its direction if I saw it across the street.
Nice opinion bro, but I’m affraid no one F’ing asked.
Maybe go to your mom/dad to tell that, she/he always tell you how special and important you are, not like everyone else.

It’s a forum, not a closed discussion. There are opinions abound. And there is a difference between posting an opinion people don’t like and slinging random insults around in wake of said opinions. Luckily there are posters presenting well reasoned thoughts as to why HEs should be a thing. Fair play to them, and I hope one day you get the races you want.

3 Doritos after:
Maybe get out the way instead of trying to fix it when someone else tells you that your personal opinion is not more important than others.
Blood elves were given to save dying horde from extinction.
Elves in all fantasies are sided with alliance, not orcs.
And a bunch of other reasons too if we are to believe a certain former employee at Blizzard.
I suggest replaying Warcraft 3 if you wish to learn why the elves split from the Alliance. It’s pretty cut and dry by the time you reach chapter four in the Blood Elf campaign.

Tell us why some new races were added to World of Warcraft in the upcoming Burning Crusade expansion?
One reason for the Blood Elves choice was obviously looks. You’d be amazed how many people will not play the Horde based purely on the fact that they’re monstrous. So by giving an attractive race to the Horde, we feel like we’re opening a whole new part of the game to the people who wouldn’t experience that half of the game.

One. Implying there are more reasons like aesthetic diversity, thematic connection to the expansion and additional Horde bases on the Eastern Kingdom continent.
Blood Elves on the Alliance never made sense after what happened in WC3 anyway so it was obviously either the Horde or none at all.

Whatever you feel about the subject… This is way over the line.
Personally hope none of the Covenant races are made playable…
They are literally spirits, why would they care about a war among mortals?

I actually don’t want any more races in this game ever again but it would open up for Kael returning home. 
You mean the incedent with Garithos, who was formally part of the Alliance of Lordaeron, before becoming the Alliance resistance in Lordaeron to help fight the scourge? Yeah, that was the old Alliance, not todays alliance. Otherwise, if you want to play by that logic, then Blood Elves joining the Horde makes no sense either since, well… They have history with the Orcs.
You should really go back and play WC2 & 3 again.

Seeing as they have this while joust over souls and anima going on, it actually makes some sense for them to send a few agents to mortal realms to cultivate races, with aim to making their eventual death causing their soul to go to their respective realm. Ie a Kyrian mentoring young humans with aims to set them in a righteous path so when they die, they become Kyrians too. Whether these agents have to be the SL races is another question.
This said them getting muddy with race war politics seems a bit strange. I’d seen them more as guardian angel type figures if they did venture to Azeroth, shaping events rather than actually picking up a sword and killing things.
Whatever the Orcs did in the Second War pales to what Garithos and his army did in the Frozen Throne campaign.
And besides it wasn’t just Garithos. The Kirin Tor and the city of Dalaran and the Dwarven forces were equally complicit in his crimes against the Elves.
It’s also interesting that the Grand Alliance never reached out to apologize for their “rogue warlord” but instead elected to send military forces to occupy the elves’ ruined lands. Makes you wonder doesn’t it.

Fact remains it was the new Alliance who was sending spies to their lands, is allied with nelf (whom hate belf) and didn’t extend formal offers or support, whereas the new horde did.
Belf are pragmatic and the pragmatic response in that situation is not to make enemies of the group extending an arm “because once upon a time” because then you’ll have enemies on all sides. Similarly it doesn’t make sense to try and seek an alliance with the chaps who are sending agents to spy on you and further destabilise your kingdom when you’re on your knees because one merry day in the past they were on good terms with you.

Indeed, it makes little sense.
So I’d prefer it that the Covenant races remain where they are. They are immortal spirits and should remain in the Shadowlands where they belong.
To have a Venthyr Rogue start butting heads with a Kyrian Paladin in Warsong Gulch makes no sense.
While what Garithos did was bad, it doesn’t exactly “pale in comparison” to the Orcs joining hands with the Amani, the oldest and most hated enemy of Quel’Thalas in an attempted genocide of the High Elves.
No one’s disputing that though. But those questlines barely make any sense.
The Dwarves and Night Elves go ISIS on Quel’Thalas for no reason at all?
It was just written in to create an excuse for the Elves to join the Horde.
But done is done.
I’d prefer it if they leaned much more heavily on the connection with Sylvanas through the Forsaken. She was one of their greatest leaders and fell in defense of Quel’Thalas. Could have written a decent story out of the Blood Elves being extremely skeptical at first when it came to the Forsaken, since they are the same undead creatures that ravaged their homeland to begin with.
Instead of just one zone where they kill a few undeads together and that’s it.
Whether Sylvanas helped through “old feelings” for her people, or because it’s pragmatic to make an ally of your northern neighbor when your southern neighbor is your enemy doesn’t matter.
But either way makes more sense than the “ISIS Elves” going ballistic all of a sudden when they knew of the existence of the High Elves for years at that point and did nothing.
And to say they hate the High/Blood Elves is a stretch… They don’t trust them.
If they hated them they would have executed their ancestors for dabbling in Arcane magic, not exiled them.
They didn’t execute them because they didn’t hate them. They couldn’t bring themselves to sentence so many of their own people to death. Hence, exile.

So, when are you guys going to accept that the blue players are getting fair-skinned blood elves as a playable race which will likely even get even more customizations? You all can nitpick all the day long but when it is enough for everyone to simply accept it?
Given that the US forums are revolting against the system again, it becomes clear to me that our side is just louder (red team) because they have more voices to express.
