I get that. On the bright side, they already started to on Alpha today, tons of Allied Race customization starting stuff and separation has been datamined and it seems like Blizz is turning attention towards them now that most Core Races are done. We might not have to wait too long for the “Allied Race” passover they promised a while back when Core Races were finished.
I mean Ion already explained why this stuff is happening:
Belf NPC Blue Eye options leaked → Community is outraged when they are confirmed not usable by players → Blizz sits down and talks about it and decides to give them to Belfs, but knows they can’t give Horde High Elfs without giving Alliance anything (considering High Elfs have been a historically Alliance race), decides to gives Velfs High Elf options too. Each faction gets it, Blizz doesn’t want to make either side feel cheated.
Elves have always been a popular, controversial, and heated topic of discussion of which many people are passionate about, as I’m sure you know, so I think Blizz tried to do the thing to please everyone. It probs is annoying if you play other races bc it can feel like attention and resources are funneled into Elfs, I get that. But companies have to follow popular demands I guess.
Personally I want Void Elfs to get some hairstyles and haircolors from Humans, Night Elfs, and Kul Tirans. Let Blood Elfs keep their hairstyles and colors so they don’t feel trashed on.
Or at least just black and white hair colors. How does a Void race not have black or white hair colors…two of our hair colors right now are the same, and the black hair colors our NPCs have is unavailable…I think someone made a mistake rofl.
