    Angry So, the Night Elves are right about everything?

    They're always on the right side of history, their Goddess trumps all, they've spawned quite a few Chosen Ones (including the biggest one of all)...


    Here people were complaining about Orcs, when in fact Night Elves are written to be the master race.

    They also delivered some of the most heinous villains Azeroth knows and have orchestrated potentially devastating events on a planetary scale.

    They are evolved from trolls - that alone makes any of their accomplishments meaningless.

    Sounds like an angry hordie. Now you know why people were upset with Green Jesus, Garrosh, and all of WoD...

    I'm all for some middle ground. If "Green Jesus" was bad, why on earth repeat it (to a far greater degree) with Illidan?

    The lore of this expansion really feels like Blizzard apologizing and then greatly overcompensating for the years of neglect Night Elves have gotten.

    My only problem with the NE, is that they are such a prominent race, with such powerful and interesting character (Some not as interesting as they used to be -sadly-) but they barely get much story (thanks Legion is helping a little bit with that)

    Queen Azshara allied with both Sargeras and three of the Old Gods. I'd say that's a fairly major counterbalance.

    They are wrong about quite a few things, their origin for example, they vehemently deny to be related to trolls.

    Why deny it? They should be proud to share the same ancestors with the master race.

    trolls and elves hate each other.

    the elves conquered most of kalimdor, aka troll lands.

    This is the elf expansion. At least the 'orc expansion' have focus on draenei in more then one zone. The only alternative here is the one zone dedicated to tauren.

    Illidan
    Malfurion
    Tyrande
    Azshara
    Three of the five zones dedicated purely to elves

    I've been preaching it since Legion's announcement. They're gonna burn us out on elves the same way they burned us out on Orcs.

    Oh forgot too the only race that can play the new class, elves.

    Let's hope for some actual mixed lore in the next expansion

    Its the Kal/shal'dorei Expansion and I love it. That will probably change a bit when we finish Suramar but the story is great so far.

    I would not call them a master race that sounds like a race.. that wants to dominate other which is not the case with night elfs (any more).
    Also their leaders don't appear very epic in legion at all.

    All according to plan. They needed Illidan to be even more brooding.

    You are leaving out Stormheim and the Norse influence in this expansion.

    Maybe in Legion we will get an explanation on why 10000 year old Night elves follow humans.

    This expansion really did make NE cool again. They were becoming pretty one-dimensional as of late with any variance in character coming from books. It's nice Blizzard can write them as more than just hippy elves.
