When Blood Elves were introduced to us in The Burning Crusade, I knew the Alliance would never get High Elves, a part of me even knew that before Blood Elves got introduced.

But when Wrath of the Lich King got introduced, and we had the Silver Covenant. Seeing my alliance characters next to High Elves, I couldn't help myself from wanting High Elves as a playable Alliance Race. It's a nostalgia reason, I knew I wouldn't get it but I still wanted it. Here we had a whole city of High Elves, just teasing me.

Skip a couple of years and we are introduced to the Nightbourne. Basically another take on the High Elves, almost key point to key point. Except for the attempted allegiance to the Legion.

I liked their zone, I liked their quest, I liked their character models, armor design, and that they were like High Elves. A race dedicated to the art of magic. Hell, I even liked the characters we interacted with.

Maybe, the Nightbourne could be introduced as a neutral race one day? Saying to myself nearing the end of Legion.

And I was half right. Heard about sub-races, got excited, then sad when I saw the Nightbourne on the Horde side.

But it accord to me. Sub-races, Alleria and Vereesa, the Silver Covenant. Could this be i- NOPE we get literal edge lords, Blood Elf rejects.

The Alliance is cheated of both the High Elves and the Nightbourne in one single swoop.

But ok, they didn't want to give us a lazy recolor of an existing race option. So why are we getting recolored Draenei? Put a Draenei next to a Lightforged, aside from the eye glow they're the same exact thing. Couple this with the fact that BOTH the Lightforge and Void Elves seem to exist only to fill the need of a legion counterpart to Highmountain Tauren and Nightbourne just serves to piss me off even further.

You know who else is a lazy option? Dark Iron Dwarfs, but mysteriously no one is complaining about them. Why? Because DARK IRON DWARFS ARE FUCKING AWESOME! THAT'S WHY!
