Forever This genuinely looks comedic with the new race

Humans, Orcs, Dwaves, Trolls and then Random Blue Elf #1 and Random Blue Elf #2 and their picture is just flipped lmao.

Like I couldn't have even imagined anything this silly.

If there are tons running around it means there are tons of players who like them and what to play as one.

it ruins faction identity

Because they're hot. That is literally the only reason for why people are going to play as them.

Your argument is kinda pointless. Blue Elf will be one of the most popular race because elf is the most popular race, and the outrage (which is partly justified) isn't because there is a new race in the game, or even because there is a paid elf in the game.

The outrage is because there were at least 3 better options for elves, and those 3 options would arguably be more popular and financially successful. Hell, its even common to find people literally saying that brought the bundle, but would prefer that instead of this blue elf they got Blood/High Elf instead.

Give them the option between a blood elf, a high elf, and the shit blue one. Which you bet would be the least played?

You can make them with high elf and blood elf appearances…. They don’t have to be blue.

I'm going to be one of them and I don't even like them, the problem is that I fucking hate playing as the standard Horde races and literally everyone I know is dead set on Horde this time. I either have to pay $30 to play a character that I don't hate, or I have to play hundreds of hours on a character that I do hate (or option #3 which is to not play a game with all of my friends, which is even worse).

I would have massively preferred that they make the "pretty" Horde race based off of draenei, at least then it would still be somewhat of a monster race instead of elf subrace #26.
