1: Attempts To Change The Racist Stereotype
If you remove what it is well known and what is wrong you have nothing left and this are the people who claim to be fans.
I think wild elves have brown skin and wood elves are described as tanned, or something stupid like that.
Thing is that drow elves are iconic, wild elves or wood elves are what ever, you can remove them entirely and no one would care. For the average guy, there are high elves and drow and that is about it.
Drow have lore, books and fans. You must hurt the fans.
Those who wanted to play as a drow played as one without issues, you had to wear a disguise or people would fear you, it was special and interesting. Now they want to remove the evil race stigma, which kind of sucks, it removes what was interesting to play as one to begin with.
