Because people are weird. Arcane Torrent kicks booteh!
I think some were jealous of horde getting paladins, and even more jealous that horde paladins had a ranged pull (ManaTap) at a time when ally pally's didn't. Then there was the whole "pretty race" and "small race" stuff as well. Idc, I like my elves and I don't find humans or night elves all that attractive.
As a long-time Alliance user, believe me when I say that we were not jealous in any way over anything that had to do with Paladins. Especially Ret.
Seriously, screw Vanilla Ret DPS.

And Prot. Paladins = Healers for Vanilla.
Or at least from what I remember.

Pfft... I used to do just that (and by "that" I mean screw Vanilla Ret DPS).
Nature's Swiftness + Chain Lightning > Frost Shock > Weapon Swing + Windfury > run on to the next person...
Of course, this was back when Stormstrike was broken, so a 40/21 build was a-ok.

The only thing I really hate about BElfs is the female laugh (fake it much?), and the male death emote (overly theatrical ). Mind you, I also dislike the Human male shoulder shrug while mounted (do they really need to rotate their shoulders that often), the Worgen casting animation (ridiculous amounts of arm flailing), the Worgen running animation, the NElf walking animation, Undead running ...
Every race has something that will set someone's teeth on edge.

Because my BE Pally tank can fight a fire-breathing 300ft tall bug that swallows me every minute or so, bounces me around inside his gullett, and spits me out, and come out with is waist-length Fabio hairdo still in perfect order, but yet I crack my window 1/2 and inch to toss out a smoke, and I walk into work looking like I just went through a car-wash with the top down.
At least thats my opinion.

Blood elf paladins have a permanent blessing of protection for their hair....It's BOP.in.a.can brand hairspray!

So wait, some people like dwarves more than elves and vice versa? And they're willing to argue the merits of each on an internet forum? Shocking.
But in all seriousness, who cares? I like playing Elves in fantasy games and always have. WoW is no exception.
As far as Belfs and lore goes, get over it. Forsaken don't make much sense for the horde either, but there they are. /violin

Im a HUGE hater of blood elfs.
1st reason: They should not be a part of the horde. The Horde should be the "monster faction", no place for pretty girlys...
Also, Blizzard were cowards designing them. The idea of a race of addicted magic-junkies is in fact pretty cool, but they didnt take it far anough. If they had designed the playable model like this:
Kael'thas Sunstrider
they would have been a better fit for the horde.
2nd reason: perfectly put by Iralima:
Because when TBC was first released blood elves were primarily played by immature kiddies who were overjoyed that the Horde finally got a "pretty race". Forum and trade channel gossip also has it that this resulted in a lot of the immature kiddies on the Alliance side switching to Horde.
Belfs have (still) a tendency to attract bad players. Immature players spamming tradechat tend to be Belfs. 90% of all ninjas tend to be Belfs (just last night the Belf raidleader ninjad
Warglaive of Azzinoth
in a pug BT-run). New, inexperienced players tend to pick Belfs (I aint saying being new at the game is a bad things, but people picking belfs seems to not read up on things, like classmecanics, boss strategys etc).
3rd reason: they are EVERYWERE! for several year it was impossible to do a hc-pug (or anything) without having 2-3 belfs in the group. Honestly, for a long time I think almost one third of all horde players had belf-mains. This is slowly changing, thank god for Tauren palas!

For me it has to do with the stereotypical Blood Elf player. I see a Blood Elf in my random group and I instantly wonder how big of an idiot he's going to be.
I'm really glad Taurens can be Paladins now... I happily forked over the cash for a race change.

Lately I've met more idiot tauren paladins than I ever did belf paladins...it's not the poor cows fault that morons have invaded their race.

For me, its the animations (at least for male belfs). Hell, my rogue is female undead purely BECAUSE of the animations.
The fact that the male belf dance is the worst dance in the game just makes me hate them more...
And, like said, so many of the players are idiots.
Da trolls be da best race, mon. Followed closely by da goblins
