So I'm right and he was a warlord abusing his previous stature and not a representative of the entire Alliance? I mean the Alliance was shattered, you just quoted it yourself, and he only led remnants of Lordaeron after Arthas was done ravaging the lands.
Not sure about the whole people being ok with genocide of the elves in Dalaran. Considering a good group of the people in Dalaran were elves themselves. Again, do you have a citation of everyone in the Alliance saying it's fine to kill all elves? Or is it just more conjecture because you don't like the Alliance?
no you are wrong, and from warlord he ascend to leader of the alliance
the remnants of the alliance of lordaeron consisted of dwarfs of ironforge, stormwind, kultiras, the gnomes of gnomeregan and late with kale the elves of quel'thalas ( and o coursr what let of the lordaron kingdom)I mean the Alliance was shattered, you just quoted it yourself, and he only led remnants of Lordaeron after Arthas was done ravaging the lands.they are all ok, and about the elves there they obviously get the same treatment

silence was consent, if they say nothing they were okAgain, do you have a citation of everyone in the Alliance saying it's fine to kill all elves? Or is it just more conjecture because you don't like the Alliance?
Again, the only other contact with an alliance figurehead was Arthas straight up trucking their city, whether he was undead or not. So you have dead lordaeronians destroying your place...and the ones left alive treating you like scum.
But yeah, I'm sure you'd stay alliance too.
Most High Elves that are still High Elves are said to have been stationed elsewhere during WC2 and WC3, being away from Quel'thelas when it was sacked...thus not having the same experience with Garithos, etc. This was spoken about during one of the Cdevs.

I might have read that wrong though and it was just his other forces that were not elves forming the bulk of the line, and Kael's troops sent to hold the unexpectedly open flank.
Why the heck would players get out their pichforks over high elves? at worst you would get an eye roll or someone complaining about 'elfcraft' or some crap. Players love elves, they are consistently the most popular race on both factions (other than humans) so the majority would likely be in favor of it.
Chances are players playing elves will continue to play elves and players who hate elves will continue to not play elves, so i doubt we would see more elves, just a different variety of them.
allied races are all reskins, they are cheap to make and highly effective, the fact that they require less work for just as much impact is why we are getting 8 new races in 1 expansion (at least!), we wont see new 'proper' races like hozen or naga as allied races since they require completely new models, skeletons and animations. reskins using existing skeletons is all we can hope for as far as allied races are concerned.
your point about blizzard making a lot of money from preorder allied races is counterintuitive. allied races have been quantity over quality, they avoid quality issues by re-using existing content so it all passes. using this formula they can quite cheaply start mass producing new races just by adding new skins to existing models and some minor changes. vanilla elves and zombie elves are 2 popular requests so i dont see why they wouldnt go for those as easy wins.
and again, high elves are already in the alliance. all void/blood elves may have once been high elves, but not all high elves became void/blood elves.
It also helps justify that they're a significant fighting force.
Honestly I hope we just get a lore event that shows all or nearly all of the high elves in the alliance actually elect to go through with the transformation after seeing how well void elves fair against the horde. That way the faction has an actual lore end (Not lingering in some odd purgatory), and what they become can actually be used as a tangible / credible force in the lore, with motivations of their own now complacently separate from the Bloodelf world.
Yes they are different. But my point is that 2 same or almost same looking species can exist ingame. Even across factions.

enough said.
This is not the end. There are only two things that will end the debate.
A. Blizzard adds playable high elves on the Alliance, without a gimmick like Void Elves that makes them different. Nothing short of that will satisfy the people calling for them.
B. World of Warcraft ends without them ever having been added.
These are the only two ways this ends.
