The more things change…
Pretty sure these changes suggest that this has already been happening. We’ve already had evidence of blue eyed elves showing up among the Blood elves, most notably among the Sunreavers who were stationed in a city full of blue eyed elves mind you.
With Quel’thalas once again thriving as the High elven capital, and with the Sunwell restored, it’s entirely likely that many High elves would have been interested in returning home.

Except liadrin is there so it was sort of a joint effort.
I mean she and Velen only come in after we take out Kil’jaeden.
Yeah but I think they are implicitly there offscreen fighting with us. We just don’t see them because they can’t kill the bosses for us. 
You can go ahead and have (what’s left of) Lordaeron too. Once the fallout clears in a few hundred years or so.
I don’t really care what Alleria wants.
The Alliance are worst than the horde.
We are strong - we don’t need either of them!

Chronicle official gives the raid victory to the Alliance. At best they came in after the lifting was done by the Alliance heroes.
Just saying, the three reasons the blood elves joined the Horde were:
- Banshee Spice vouched for both sides
- they were losing their battle against the Scourge in the Ghostlands
- they wanted protection in general, so they allied with their closest neighbors
Literally none of that is true any more.
The most impressive part of the Alliance side of the War Campaign, I think, is when a big group of Void Elves step up and volunteer for a suicide mission. Like, they’re already near-extinction by virtue of what they are and how they came to be, there wasn’t anything in the mission that suggested that Void Elf tactics would give any advantage, and there were just 50 of them going “OH BABY SIGN ME UP.”
It’s like they were so focused on proving their worth to the Alliance that they collectively ignored their sense of self-preservation.
I completely agree. It makes sense that quite a few Quel’dorei would wish to return home.
I mean, what has the Alliance done for the Quel’dorei lately?
With Lor’themar Theron pretty much proclaiming a ‘Right of Return’ for all Quel’dorei, more than few would likely take him up on the chance to return to home and likely family as well.

Hardly.
The Forsaken were the remnant of the most powerful human kingdom on Azeroth, and just because they suffered both exile and a setback, that hardly puts them on par with the Quel’dorei. The Humans of Stormwind were likewise exiled, their homeland destroyed, and their king murdered, but they weren’t destroyed so thoroughly that they had no hope of ever coming back.
The Mag’har are survivors of what is basically a world-spanning empire. The Orcs had a greater hold on Draenor than even humanity on their own planet. The starting pool of a population here is incomparable.
The Quel’dorei, meanwhile, are an insignificant fraction of a race that was already effectively obliterated, and no kind of world-spanning imperial power. 9/10 Quel’dorei are dead. To be a “High Elf”, out of that remaining 10%, you have to not only be willing to turn your back on your homeland, your people, and the memory of all that’s lost in defiance of that tragedy, but also manage to find a means of finding clean, uncorrupted magical sustenance. All in the middle of a zombie apocalypse.
That is a ludicrously tall order. The latest refugees of the Horde are hardly unprecedented, but the Quel’dorei aren’t just displaced or decimated, but circumstantially all but impossible. You can’t make a significant race, recovery, or power out of that.
Void Elves are a thing. This argument died 2 years ago.
No they didn’t
They used Fel Crystals as power sources but they didnt “snort” it
Fel elves are another thing entirely

This stuff is hilarious. Sometimes I think Blizzard is intentionally stirring the pot. 
The Forsaken are just a group of Former lordearon undead. Most of the undead are mindless or under the Lich King’s control(for now anyway) and with Sylvanas gone have no way to create new Forsaken.
Pretty sure only a certain percentage of the Maghar joined the Horde. Quite a percentage were either killed by the Draenei or joined them.
And the Horde High elves more accurately reflect who the High elves are in World of Warcraft, and aren’t restricted by the lore implications that surround choosing a void High elf.
A void High elf forces the player to accept the implication of being infused by the void, which restricts them from choosing pure light classes like Paladins, or access to the Sunwell like other High elves.

I liked when Umbric got all self-righteous about the classism of the goblins and then proceeded to murder working class gobbos indiscriminately.

Hopefully they add in Paladin when races get classes added to them again sometime 
No she doesn’t troll because she knows she can’t go near it without destroying it.
