Tbh, it's good you like warhammer wood elves, but to want night elves to be that only when they could be that and more, i don't get it, I love that the night elves are more, and glad for you that you like them as wood elves though you don't play them at all, you just like that someone else can be that. Bur for those of us who love them, I like that I can pick up a night elf mage, a night elf druid , a hunter,, a priest and a demon hunter and have a powerful fantasy to connect to.
Without feeling that oh, only hunter types is my races' vibe - it ruins the integrity of my mage, my demon hunter and my caster priest - and it's un-necessary. this is why I am glad that blizzard hasn this depth in thier lore.
Now for me to start thinking of the night elves as exclusivley wood elves? it just kills my mage, DH, priest - that's not their fantasy, I picked. It may be enough for you who doens't really care about them, but for me who does, I want more than a niche in some human story. Soz.
