In consequence, there are so few high elves left on Azeroth today that they cannot be considered a race in anything other than the biological sense. High elves did not gather in any significant numbers, nor did they act as a coordinated whole. They are a very small group of individuals scattered all over the world. As such, they do not have common opinions or goals. Indeed, modern high elves cannot even truly be said to have a culture—only a past filled with glory and regret.

就结果而言。现存于艾泽拉斯的高等精灵实在是过于稀少，除开生物学意义上以外，完全无法被视为一个种族。高等精灵不但数量不足，而且缺乏统一性。他们以极小的势力散布于全球各地。因此，他们甚至谈不上拥有统一的目标和**。实际上，如今的高等精灵无法称之为仍拥有真正的文化——他们拥有的只是掺杂了悔恨与辉煌的过往。
