I feel many posters here actually adopted Blizzard's view that a high elf means thalassian elf, regardless of political affiliation, you hardly see these "blood elves are high elves" vs "true high elves are on the Alliance" fights lately. Even though this thread was originaly meant to be about Alliance aligned elves, that changed. Right now, the only elves excluded from the discussions are night elves and nightborne and their mutated offshoots like naga and satyr, but I don't these races should be counted among elven groups, since they were changed fundamentally.
What I like lately is that people here are posting their take on high elves, inspiring others on their appearances. I'm myself quite a T-mog hunter, so I'm always into some t-mog sharing
Here's one of the T-mogs I made recently, in honor of thalassian ancestry of my character. I only wish I could make that green glow on shoulders disappear, or recolour it to blue or gold one.
