and people wonder why we get along with the forsaken so well.
This right here, yes. Hard pass on the Blood Elves ever rejoining the Alliance. If someone wants to play a Thalassian elf on the Alliance, they can go roll a void elf, and now they have high elf options. I’ve never been a fan of the Alliance as a whole, it’s a very annoying mentality. Even my alliance characters are odd-ones-out. Silvermoon will remain Horde.
And yeah, I couldn’t care less about the high elf debate. I’m actually happy for my friends who get to play what they want now. Good for them.

I don’t think Magister Umbric is that reckless.
That said, I am OK with Ren’dorei High Elves being able to be Paladins.
They would have to use some creative means to power themselves, but in that respect High Elves are justly famous or infamous, depending.
I am all for Void Elf Paladins but only if their void and light powers cause them to explode like sodium in water.

They would have to be something like, Void Knights, or some such. It would give the Alliance a slightly darker, edgier cast which I think would be helpful to that faction.
They used to have a bit of flavor similar to this back in Wrath. Alliance Paladins had Seal of the Martyr and the Blood Elves had Seal of Blood. They were functionally the exact same spell, just visually different to match the faction themes.
Blizzard should bring this back for all Paladins.

I agree. Though the ‘Void Knights’, or whatever they call themselves, might want to keep the ‘Light’ sounding names. Basically under the, ‘do what you want, just don’t frighten the horses’ social rule.
The Alliance has a lot of horses.

And now they are also in the alliance, since BE = HE = VE.
That is, now Quelthalas is also a realm of the alliance.
Even more now that they are saying that blood elves are going to the telogrus to study the void and join the void belves.
Isn’t this mess that Blizzard created with purple blood elves as a compromise for the alliance, beautiful?
Let’s have Silvermoon’s shared custody! 
The population of blood elves is not equivalent to the population of High Elves and Void Elves.
Every reference to High Elves indicates “the few who decided to turn away from the practices of the fel.”
Every reference to the Void Elves indicates “a small strike-force.”
Have a few Blood Elves gone to go study at Teogrus rift to study the void?
Sure
Has there been any indication of some “mass exodus” from Silvermoon?
Absolutely not
Your point is contrived.

I’d rather people who are actually proud to be Alliance join us, not turncoats that only wanted a model and will jump ship yet again at the next cool thing.
Besides, I’m sure most Horde blood elf players will stay right where they are. I’m just glad our elves got some love for once.
Much more likely there will be an exodus of Quel’dorei from the Alliance to the Horde. The Quel’dorei can’t be too comfortable with the Alliance tolerance for void channeling Ren’dorei.
At least, that’s a good excuse they can use for their natural desire to return to their homeland and reunite with their Sin’dorei kin.
I know! And that’s what makes this whole thing with purple blood elves even more pathetic, but that’s what Blizzard is selling.
That “the small strike-force.” it is numerous enough to be a playable race although it is as numerically relevant as High Elves.
And now that everyone is going to be the same with blood elves and void belves having the same customizations, it just makes everything more pathetic, when the idea was not to term the two races alike in both factions but that will be exactly what we will have.
Tal anu’men no Sin’dorei
And the orcs and trolls and everything else?
Are they less offensive to the senses?
This is the conclusion I came to.
“Eh, do it. People will lose their minds and stop questioning datamined stuff for a couple days. Should be nice.”
Maybe, they’re on a completely different continent and not channeling Sunwell threatening Void.
HE=BE=VE 
Or, Sin’dorei = Quel’dorei = Ren’dorei, if you please. They are all subgroups of High Elf.
Unfortunately, the Ren’dorei can’t come home unless a way can be found to cleanse them of the Void.

I didn’t get it because I didn’t think the sunwell was an explosive ordeal, literally, but now I see it.
