Official High Elf Discussion Megathread

Gotta be honest, I'm pretty sure I got it right with the first one, big guy. Your post just had that kind of quality to it, you know?

Too bad. Not only can you only push your point by insulting others, you can't even find a proper insult. Thats pretty pathetic. Its like that one nerdy kid who tries to make a comeback but only "uhm" and "errrs" are coming out.

Aw, poor guy, mad about being insulted after posting nothing but insults and drivel himself. Nice banter by the way, really top notch stuff. What point am I pushing, by the way?

I don't think anyone knows that.

And no, calling people shitfiction...well shitfiction isn't insult. Its desperate plea to bring them back to reality.

Why would you say I'm pushing a point then? You're probably pretty confused with that soft head of yours. "Shitfiction"? What are you on about now?

About this thread. And about "nananana can't hear you devs/haters" crowd.

Blood Elves are High Elves.

Tushui are Pandaren. Huojin are Pandaren.

Playable Alliance High Elves sole difference from Blood Elves is their political alignment.

The sole difference between Tushui and Huojin Pandaren are their political alignments.

Alliance High Elves therefore de facto turn the Horde's most popular race neutral.

As I said, it is very simple.



Neutrality failed the Pandaren because it crippled any further story potential they can have.

Neutrality failed the Alliance and Horde by blurring the lines between the faction to an unacceptable extent and that was with a race designed and introduced as neutral with a theme of neutrality and a storyline of balance and neutrality.

You are attempting to justify that Pandaren worked when all the evidence we have, including the fact Blizzard has failed to introduce any further neutral races in six years, a dev tweet showing they were unhappy with how it worked and Ion's recent comments indicating that maintaining faction diversity is a top priority shows that the concept of a neutral race failed.

Again, just because you believe the opposite does not make it true. You hold a contrarian opinion because you want playable Alliance High Elves. Because you want playable Alliance High Elves, you are willing to overlook or twist actual facts, or disregard what the devs say, because they are an impediment to your goal.

You argument is hopelessly biased. Of course you will argue I am biased as well, and I admit that, but my biases match what the developers clearly want for the game. This is why I can quote sources, both in game and out, to support my positions.





High Elves do undermine Horde. Again, this is a contrarian position you have adopted based on a personal goal that you have the luxury of taking because you are not a developer. The developers have to take a holistic view of the entire game. If they feel High Elves would damage the lines between the faction, the faction wall, then they are correct and you are wrong. You are wrong because you are biased. You are biased because your goal of playable High Elves means you would be incentivized to minimize or ignore the negative consequences of playable High Elves.

Your final assertion, that HE would improve the faction conflict by giving the Blood Elves a rival, is subjective. While possible, it is not worth the cost to the identity of the Horde and the role of the Blood Elves to allow this thematic intrusion. Void Elves now more than fulfil this role of 'rival' you postulate, given they are traitors that are ideologically opposed to Silvermoon on every level. High Elves offer nothing a Void Elf cannot in terms of rivalry. Void Elves offer the void theme contrast to Blood Elves which High Elves cannot.

High Elves are irrelevant.

This line of reasoning would suggest that World of Warcraft is a Kindergarten level game in terms of complexity when it comes to its faction content. That is ridiculous at the very least and insulting to every player's intelligence at its very core.

Seems like you're having a lot of trouble sticking to a topic (proper diet and exercise can help your concentration, too). I feel a little bad now, since I expected you might be able to hang a bit considering your garbage posts, but I'll admit I was wrong about that. Carry on then, my guy.

Hah, is that really the best you can do ? What are you 12 ? And maybe you need reminder that you are the one having issues with sticking to topic.

This is painful, seriously. Do you have an elementary school level banter book on hand or something? "ur 12" and "no u"? Come on, now. It's probably the fat clogging up your skull.

My, aren't you a skilled orator ?

Thanks, big guy. Don't feel too bad over it.

Man, you are going super hard on that. You have some insecurities or something ?

Oh no. Projection? You're bringing out the big rhetorical guns now. Don't think too hard on it (that might be painful for you), it's just a colloquial phrase. I'll call you little guy instead if you like.

And you just can't let go. You really are projecting.

Did you confuse yourself again or something? Let go of what? You know that "I'm rubber and you're glue" is still grade school stuff, right? You can't be that oblivious.

this is getting sadder and sadder.

Weak. But like I said, don't feel too bad about it.

Not as weak as not even talking about topic, and instead resorting to ad hominem only. Then again, you can't expect much from someone who considers "fat" to be insult/argument, now can you.

Do you actually not remember the post of yours I replied to? The one that had nothing to do with the topic and was only an insult? It wouldn't surprise me if you don't actually remember. I replied in kind and now you're really mad about being called fat. Seems like I struck a nerve. Don't dish it out if you can't take it, fella.
