Okay, you better write all those essays for all the Ogre, Forest Trolls, Ethereal, Tuskarr, etc. fans as well. Weird how they’re still not playable after 20 years.
And I insult you because you are a troll, so you deserve to be insulted. It’s simple.
Nobody deserves to be insulted over a video game unless they lower themselves to the point where they begin insulting others. Again, grow up.
And all those races would be valid race choices, they simply have not been selected as of this time and may never be, but they don’t break the cardinal rule of being already playable.
Even Forest Trolls would work as an Allied race.

If you actually did the Suramar campaign, you’d know that Elisande makes it very clear, Vereesa and her followers are actually UNWORTHY of the name Quel’dorei.

The exact quote was
Quel’dorei? You are peasants playing at nobility, all too willing to mingle with lesser races that dilute your bloodline. You are unworthy of the name, high elves
So, how is it different from what I said?
I hate to be the “um actually” guy, but you said that Elisande didn’t call them “Quel’dorei”. She did call them Quel’dorei but said they’re unfit to call themselves such. Small difference but significant
Also, she’s the bad guy, of course she’s going to talk smack about the people fighting her
?
Did I ever claim she didn’t say ‘Quel’dorei’?
She is not, the writing was dumb.
The rest of the Kaldorei Empire fell and their old customs disappeared 10,000 years ago-but in Suramar, the Nightborne literally kept the Highborne/Lowborne hierarchy alive, as well as almost whole culture unchanged, for millennia.
Also, the Nightborne looking down on everyone else isn’t rare. Go to Suramar, you’ll hear them shouting “Lowborn scum” like it’s a greeting.
Unfortunately, NPC with 8 posts, she still refers to them as “Quel’dorei.”
What do you think Blizzard meant by this? That Elisande is right to be racist? Or that Vereesa and her people are… Quel’dorei?
They all elves yes. But you half right. The Highborne that was exiled from Kalimdor did not call themself High elves until the Sunwell “changed” them as they lost their purple/blue skin and their hair color also started to change and in time they also started to shrink in size. And Later called themself Quel’dorai (Children of the Highborne). The Alliance High elves, Blood elves and Void elves are all Children of the Highborne. The Blood elves known as Sin’dorei means Children of the Blood.
The Kal’dorai were the Children of the Stars which is the Night elves. The Highborne were “Children of noble Birth”. Shal’dorei were the Children of the Night and sometimes Children of the Shadow. Dorai means Children in Warcraft elves tongue. But there has been many Kal’dorai tribes out there in Azeroth, either killed by trolls or other creatures or magical experiments gone horribly wrong. Like the ones in Crystalsong forest. Many Highborne/Kal’dorai ruins all over Azeorth.
There is also another Highborne/Shal’dorei race out there. They are called Fal’dorai that are Nightbonre that is cursed. While not explicitly translated in the lore, “Fal’dorei” could be interpreted as “Children of the Spider,” “Children of the Fallen,” or “Children of the Deep/Ground”.
They look like half Nightborne/half spider as their mana tree, the arcan’dor tree became unstable and died and turned the Nightborne in seconds to what they look like now. The Nightborne we know uses the same mana tree…sooo we might have doomed the Nightborne.
Vereesa Windrunner and her Silver Covenant and Highvale elves, Auric and his rangers, Dalaran elves, Alliance High elves are all Quel’dorai and they do exist. They just need to come together under one banner. Silver Covenant would be best as they are already establish faction within the Alliance with a tabard, mounts, leadership etc.
The ones your are talking about are Shen’dralar. They were Highborne that calls themshelves now Shen’dralar which means “Those Who Remain Hidden”. A secretive Highborne/Kal’dorai group hiding in Eldre’Thalas ruins. They have now joined the Night elf society since cataclysm and become part of the Alliance.
The ones in Silvermoon called themshelves Quel’dorai then later Sin’dorai. Its the Birthplace for that name. Majority of the survivors calls themshelves Blood elves/Sindorai yes but they have split off to many diffrent smaller tribes/factions. Some tribes still calling themshelves High elf.
Grand Magistrix Elisande somehow knew of the existence of Quel’dorai and Sin’dorai, being stuck in a bubble for 10000 years with out contact of the outside world unless they hade prisoners of both Horde and Alliance during Legion expansion.
Only the High elves in Silvermoon change their race name. The High elves in the Alliance kept their Original race name they had for almost 6000 years. As it was 6000 years ago they arrived on the shores of Eastern Kingdoms. Few hundread years later a High elf scouting party encountered a Human group fighting the Amani trolls. They talked afterwards and left in peace but it was 100 years after that encounter, the High elf king (Keal’thas grandfather and being among the exiled Highborne that turned to a High elf because of the Sunwell) went to meet the Human king of Stromgarde to deal Amani trolls. The Human king agreed if the High elves taught the humans magic. So the High elves did, 10 High elf mages taught 100 humans Fire magic. They defated the Amani and later the High elf mages stayed and helped the Human mages built Dalaran and stayed there for 1000s of years. As they liked working with humans.
Well Im hoping the Amani will be a Allied race. I really am, 110% hoping. But for the Horde, not the Alliance. Ancient Ally of the Horde returning.
Only in her eyes. But you are forgetting she also mocked the Sin’dorai as well for dealing with monsters. Elisande wanted the elves to fight for elves. Continuing the Highborne legacy.
Well true they were inside a bubble for 10000 years, undisturbed and no wars but the High elves/Blood elves would been the same as the Nightborne if they didn’t have had the troll wars and the Horde war. The wars set them back.
Well so did the High elves in Silvermoon back in the day, But so did the Humans of Lordaeron aka the Forsaken. Seeing themshelves as superior. While not all high elves since Alleria gathered High elves likeminding as herself to help the Humans. Those High elves are still in the Alliance and never left when their King ordered them after second war with the Horde. Becuase they believed in the Alliance and still do. Also they like working with humans just like the High elves in Dalaran when they also was only told to teach 100 humans fire magic but they stayed and also build Dalaran and still living there with the Humans, researching new magics.
No Vulperas survivors are only few wagons as the snake people Sethrak hunted them down and enslaved them as well for decades. Vulpera are an extinct race. But im sure Bliizard will work their magic so they are no longer extinct like they did with the Tauren and Darkspear trolls. But they were made playable as players wanted them playable because they were fluffy race. And both Horde and Alliance players wanted them.
The Void elves were just 23 people…hardly a sustainable race. They are more now sure after recruiting but still not enough yet they were made playable. The High elves in Telogrus rift were just stragglers, not belonging to any of the Alliance High elf factions. Most are just Blood elves from Silvermoon. Or we would have seen Vereesa windrunner and her Silver covenant there or Auric with his rangers from Allerian Stronghold on Telogrus Rift. But we didn’t so they never became Void elves. So the Alliance High elves are still out there. We also saw Vereesa at the end of Shadowlands. Still as a High elf. Yes we saw Silver covenant in Dornogal in war within with Void elf hairstyles. But its just hairstyles. Did anyone see them with tentacles on their heads? or purple/blue skins? No as it was just hairstyles to make them look different from the Sunreaver Blood elves.

Are we going to come up with logical ways for playable High Elves or are we just all sitting around, slagging each other off? 
That’s pretty much what it is now.
Here was me thinking we were all grown adults 
Have you seen the forums!? LMAO

Once again, it shows how childish you and the OP are. Pathetic.
No, it shows that you have no argument and you’re just here to troll.
Again:
What did Elisande call them? And did Blizzard intend for us to agree with Elisande’s racism or to acknowledge that this group of people are ?

Can we get anything OTHER than yet another elf, human, dwarf, troll or orc or something that looks like it?
There are so many cool and interesting races and what do we get? Dracthyr… basically the least cool version of Draconids they could have picked, equivalent to the Dinosaurs sitcom TV-show looks.
…and now we get some troll/elf wannnabe Avatar like race.
Why not Arrakoa, Wolvar, Furbolg, Gnoll, Hozen, Vrykul, Jinyu, Ankoan, Kobold, Mogu, Murloc, Naga, Ogre, Sethrak or even a Venthyr…
Because only 0.1% of players will play them, why would Blizzard do something that won’t be useful for the majority of players, spending time, money, and resources on it?
If you look at the popularity statistics for game races, there are only humans, elves, and orcs.

This argument holds little merit in a game that uses racial abilities that impact gameplay. All they need is to change the racials to make Vulpera the most played race.
