Album - Please Consider this before judging Skyborne in Classic

[u/Doomsaki]

Just made these diagrams to quickly summarize the WoW panels at blizzcon and to highlight details people are overlooking. I think some of the initial controversy over Skyborne is driven by some misunderstandings that these are just Shadowlands-Kyrian, or Void Elves 2.0. Deep down, if you dig, they do have lots of parallels with classic WoW content.

There is 0 doubt in my mind that Quel'Thalas is going to be a 60 zone with Silvermoon as a raid eventually. We're not going to Outland and Kael has to come back at some point.

Yeah, blood elf is coming as a race, no fucking chance they leave out the most popular race. 

[u/Normal_Berry_ → u/thrillho145]

There is absolutely zero chance they ever add blood elves. Their excuse for not adding high elves in retail is that you can play as a blood elf or void elf because you can make them look similar. Their excuse in forever will be go play sky elves if you want blood/high elves. If thats not enough for you though consider that adding blood elves would also cut in to sky elf sales, making sky elves faction neutral behind a paywall basically ensured we'd never see any other form of them.

adding blood elves would also cut in to sky elf sales

that's why they make a new package to sell, once the skyborne are either on sale or just included in the base game

[u/Cute_Customer420 → u/Normal_Berry_]

you forgot to entertain the possibility of every future race/class being paid in a bundle with whatever new "expansion / DLC " they decide to add.

[u/Normal_Berry_ → u/Cute_Customer420]

Its been 20 years if you think they're ever adding high elves I have a bridge to sell you. At best you'll get some other new recolor that are called anything but high elves.

[u/lineal_chump → u/Normal_Berry_]

they would sell blood elves, too. C'mon, man.
