    Question Blood Elves doesn't exist

    Are Blood Elves still in Horde or they're a 3rd faction right now? I'm pretty sure there isn't a single BELF on the whole Pandaria. Both Horde and Alliance discover new land which they want to conquer and Blood Elves just sit in Silvermoon and do nothing. I know that they will take part in 5.1 lore but not seeing them on Pandaria is just silly. Is Blizzard lazy or did I miss something?

    It's just part of the whole trend that Blizzard has taken since Cataclysm to make everything revolve around Humans and Orcs. Pretty annoying and, above all, uninspired.
    In all fairness, the next patch will provide some action and lore for to the Blood Elves and other races. And they recently recognized on Twitter that they neglected the Blood Elves lately. Small good signs, but definitely still too little for Blood Elves and all other non-Orc or non-Human races...
    It's also pretty odd since Blood Elves are more played than Orcs. One could say that it shows how much Blizzard cares about their players view, but that's debatable of course...

    The problem is with elves itself (both in Alliance and Horde).

    They're not exactly trusted by either faction.

    BEFs basically are traitors in WoW lore from an Alliance perspective, and as distrusted. Were the Nightelves although allies, are linked to that Worgen curse (let alone whatever tomfoolery to come). They just not the people to trust, you have to keep an eye on them, like with the Death Knights (who may hear their master's call again).

    I have my DKs in a Holy paladin guild for a reason, let alone my Worgens.
    From the #1 Cata review on Amazon.com: "Blizzard's greatest misstep was blaming players instead of admitting their mistakes.
    They've convinced half of the population that the other half are unskilled whiners, causing a permanent rift in the community."

    in the cinimatic where the united Horde battle fleet arives to pandaria you will see that the footmen are only made out of Blood elfs, Goblins and orcs, There is no Undead, trolls, Pandas or Taurens joining the battle in that cinematic

    Well not to be a dick realy, but ur wrong.

    This topic has been beaten to death, allaince screwed over the elves in couple of ways.. now the horde does the same with garrosh. So realy the elves should be the ones who distrust the alliance and horde. Btw didn't the alliance tried a fail attempt on making friendship?..

    What? Belfs have barely had any lore whatsoever since TBC. Certainly much less than they deserve.

    The word you want to use is "have" not "of".

    I think you mean it is part of the trend Blizzard has taken since Warcraft: Orcs and Humans. The series has always been, at its core, about those two races.

    Ask yourself why it would fail.

    The backstory even in WoW is the elves are mistrusted. You saw it in the Worgen's existence storyline, and the shame of yet another Elf created mess rearing it's ugly head again.

    Why?

    Because it's the nature of elves to mettle and distrust others (especially humans). This is not something new, even the D&D backstory of the elves are they are high/vain creatures, who look down at humans. BEFs are an extreme stereotype of the vanity of elves, but that is what they are at heart.

    If there's treachery and sorcery involved, turn and look around. An elf is involved somewhere.

    The Horde side of Dalaran was because of blood elves. The Horde part of the Argent Tournament was blood elves.
    In Cataclysm the blood elves got an archeology society of sorts.

    What did the draenei get since BC?
    In Wrath they had a quest where they were turned down for help, the end.
    In Cataclysm we saw their leader visit a town to say goodbye to a dying friend, the end.

    No, it was changed since Warcraft 3. Because you also had the undead and night elves there too.

    Ok, but that has nothing to do with the warcraft story we all know. Even in 5.1 Lorthemar is mentioning Garrithos.
    If u just purely look at the story of the blood elves, this is not realy the point. People hate the blood elves cus of their alliance, but if u played warcraft 3 they got kicked out for no ( real ) reason.

    Because the Horde army hasn't arrived yet........

    We where part of a special task force to take Pandaria that quite frankly failed, thus why we enlisted a hozen army.

    It has e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g to do with WoW.

    The whole storyline is similiar to D&D's take on elves. No patch is going to change the bottomline: elves play with humans (or any "lesser" beings than themselves...remember that ego?), as that's their entertainment, as they love treachery and deceit.

    BEFs are the stereotypical elf. Vain, egotistic, and ever the lover of magic and mischief.

    Those who understand the lore of elves understand they have to be watched, if for anything for their own good (let alone the world).
