What makes you think that? I am happy with my human and belf paladins. I'm just not selfish and there are other class/race combos i'd probably be interested in. It makes no sense to restrict non-lore characters. I don't see what the problem is or how it's crazy but alas.
And on that note, how does other people having acess to class combos diminishes what you have? I really don't get that mindset.

How is it watering down? Your character is not a lore character.
The paladin class doesnt belong to the blood elves. By that logic, no other race but humans and dwarves should be paladins. Your character is not lore. It's a what-if. So, what harm is there in letting other make other what-if characters. The entitlement is very much on your side.
I don't say this for void elves, but for all classes. I have yet to hear a good reason to limit player creativity on non-lore characters.
And this is funny cause blood elves were specifically used to deliver a paladin option to the horde, and now you act like belves own the class. XD
Actually horde blood elves were also seen as humans for the horde back then, cause humans were the most popular race and horde needed a pretty race to balance population. How we've circled around! When the shoe is on the other foot eh?
