The haters wish
Wiping off the High Elves in Teldrassil: nothing more than a High Elf hater’s speculation
Thinking about a theory that says the high elves will be killed off during the Burning of Teldrassil. It’s based on a mysterious wounded elf that appears in the two images Blizzard released to tease the event. There’s been speculation that the character may be Vereesa, signifying that she and her Silver Covenant will perish in that battle.

If that’s true, and reminding that high elves currently are the most requested race to become playable, then it would be Blizzard’s greatest slight against a group of players. It would be like saying:
“Alliance players, we don’t care about you, your opinion does not matter to us”
In Legion, Blizzard killed the greatest living Alliance hero, Varian. However, it also took Vol’jin’s life. That way, it kept some balance in the losses of each faction. If the speculation is true, if the high elves would be wiped off in Teldrassil, then the Alliance loses one of its factions, one of its named heroes and one of its favorite races, all in one swoop.
So, what would the Horde lose? Which faction? Which hero? Which race? So far, the Horde does not seem to be losing anything other than Lordaeron. In addition, it is gaining a lot of much-requested options, like Zandalari, more orc clans, and even straight-backed orcs.
So, there’s two possibilities here: the speculation may end up true, and Blizzard shows to no longer care about the Alliance or its players, or that this baseless theory is nothing more than wishful thinking from high elf haters.
