so you just want blood elves with blue eyes?...not really are race....
High elves are shown ingame as different looking ( more pale and white like hair) and they have blue eyes because of their mana source. instead of fel or yellow eyes. And different beliefs.
As for why:
It used to be a alliance race ( old alliance). Alliance has a lot of joke races both are reason to want it.
Why people want it more!?! simple it was 1 of 2 wishes we had broken dreanei and high elves. We got neither. While horde got their trolls, upright trolls, upright orcs, more orcs etc etc.
Ion then contradicts the game itself saying blood elves are high elves.
And blizzard makes to point of saying races with not join other faction as playable races.
Then the feeling went away....until people data mine that the horde is getting ( as non playable race). A good portion of night elves.
soo.......
And for me ( and i think other alliance players). Its the fact that we have seen our faction shrink because of small racials, we have been less the focus then the horde last few expansions, since start of BFA we are a joke. Allied races, story , mounts all have been weak for the alliance. Horde gets other great wins in 8.1 alliance still loses.
So we are very salty about all of it.
and then things like hall of fame happen. ( first 100 guilds per faction that kill the raid on Mythic get in the hall of fame ). Horde is done, because of the bad racials alliance has 12 hall of famers. Still 88 spots left to fill :S
