    I've never denied that is my motivation. I don't see why I should have to share one of the races of my faction with the Alliance simply because they don't like playing Horde. I like the look of Draenei and Worgen as well but I'm not demanding they be added to the Horde this minute simply because I want it. So yeah, you pretty much sum up why I'm arguing against you. My response though is 'So What?' It's a perfectly valid reason. I also fear the consequences of breaching the race wall again. Eventually you won't have an Alliance or a Horde if that is taken to it's logical conclusion.

    Why the hell would we want to ban you over your opinions? Firstly, conversation and debate are good for society. Secondly, your borderline obsession on this topic and easily refutable points allow us to continually undermine your cause.

    If you've been threatened with a ban it might have to do other issues, such as your recent behaviour, but if you've convinced yourself that the reason for it was some vast anti-High Elf conspiracy then you're obsession with this fiction is getting genuinely dangerous.

    No they are not a moral necessity. Morality doesn't come into this. They don't exist. They are tools to pad out a fantasy world, nothing more. As for the schtick about them being the last races of each faction that are non-playable, they are playable.

    If Blizzard did owe this fictional race a moral debt, it was fulfilled in 2007 when they were added to the game as a playable race, albeit one on the Horde side.

    Anyway after three topics in the past two weeks and several hundred posts I think I can safely say we have thrashed this one to death. Is there anything we can really add to the discussion beyond retreading the same arguments again and again?

    All we can do is wait for Blizzcon and see what Blizzard does. Maybe anyone with an interest in this topic should hold their fire till then because going in circles is getting boring.

    Moreover, although Blizzard said textually tomorrow that the High Elves will not be playable never, or that all the High Elves have died all of a sudden, I'll still be here (if my delicate health allows me), defending the right of the Alliance to have one of the iconic races and founders of the Alliance: the Quel'dorei.

    It won't happen and should not happen.

    Game play over story. Blood elves are firmly horde now and to any new generation of wow players that is the case. You know this deep down this is the case that it will _NEVER_ happen. At best it will be a sub race you can choose and even then where do you put them? As a human sub race to show they are with them? Or as a blood elf sub race and horde aligned?

    As for exclusivity of the elves you already have two elvish factions in game and 3 in lore. You have the High elves in lore with Dalaran/stormwind and for the 2 in game that you can play You have the highborne as mages and the night elves in game.

    The only thing mods have ever warned you about is keeping your fanfiction and roleplay in the appropriate section. Also this from the other day, since it seems to have been forgotten:

    Really, I think you'd get more out of these discussions if you took that to heart. >.<

    Copy + paste a race is a cheap move that won't look good for Blizzard.

    The Blood Elf intro says something about the restored Sunwell may have the power to cure the blood elves of their "curse". With the high focus on custom glyphs in WoW,i totally see cosmetic glyphs for races in the future. And blizzard will most likely add a glyph to make the Blood elf eyes, blue. Blood elves and high elves are the exact same race.

    The BE just act more rebel,allies with the horde,tattoos on their faces ( wiki info ) and like to use demon for their fun and power.
    I would laugh my ass off till blizz closes the doors if they "cured" the blood elves and they came back to alliance.

    Interesting distinction, it seems that you realize that ... I'm not normal .... entirely ...

    No, not I did not mean the moderators, I respect their work and I would never say anything against them. I meant to other people, they already know who they are ...

    And who says to you that this is not my true intention? :P

    Seriously, my comments are highlighted for three things:

    • My roleplayer tone
    • My fight for lost causes (High Elves, Calia, Necromancers, etc ...)
    • And a large dose of concealed sarcasm and irony ... or maybe not?
