There is no such concept as “from void elves”. Void elves are Thalassian former Sin’dorei that aligned themselves with shadow and the old gods, thus alienating themselves from the Sin’dorei and causing the inevitability of their own exile.

they had blue eyes for thousands of years, its part of their heritage. green eyes was a theme tied to the TBC and made no sense at this point to still be lingering around. they both got that purple at the same time and id like to see brown added for blood elves as well. didnt you get our skin tones?
theyve had these since wrath. theyre just DK colors
might as well just scrap void elves with your logic. theres no need for them to exist as everything you want is already available to play. do you see how dumb this sounds now? youre literally asking for an option thats already there for you. its as dumb as asking for green skin for maghar orcs and saying orcs arent playable

Even that is a waste of time. Why bother updating her at all? And even just a hair swap would take more work on Alleria than it would on a player model, because her model is a specific NPC model with things like hairstyle swapping not intended for it.
If you’re gonna play that card, no Thalassian has had ranger tattoos/warpaint since WCII, and none have ever been seen sporting them since becoming blood elves. Alleria is literally the only in game example.
I’m not gonna use that to try and claim one side should have dibs on them over the other though. Both should get them.
All of our hair turns the exact same Voidwalker purple, because it’s just a blanket effect applied over the model.
They didn’t. Blizzard always intended to give blue eyes to both races (official statement) and purple was accidentally given as a bug that caused so much uproar it turned into reality. For both races, again.
Blood Elves didn’t actually “steal” these from the Void Elves because both races were gifted them simultaneously.
There is a lore reason.
Void Elf hair colors were reminiscent of Blood Elf purple/blue, considering Blood Elves had options to the purple/blue hair since Wrath, and Void Elves were created in Legion.
Again, they can’t “steal” something they had ages before Void Elf lore was drafted in the interns office.

I’d love to see other colors for the Void elves- pale lavender that fades to pinks or pastel blues, but with the glowing effects that Dark Iron Dwarves get. Options for more tentacles -perhaps more artfully arranged, or with twisted spirals of glowing jewelry added to them. There are so many options to add without making the Blood Elves feel that they are being stripped of their unique looks.
And their are Blood elves in the Void- you see them in the Void elf starting area. Perhaps they will ‘experiment’ a bit and take on a cool Void appearance of their own?
You got blue eyes …

You also have blue eyes, your customizations and some of our own. We should get something like Dark Ranger or San’layn like looks if they give you all more. But really the honest thing is, they need to focus on the races that got the least or nothing first.

Honestly? Blue eyes should have stayed Alliance High Elf only.
It was THE defining differential feature between High Elves and Blood Elves, and they ruined it. They’re so similar at this point they might as well just throw in the hair colors.

They also gave High Elves purple/pink, white and gold eyes in the new version of WCIII so they have more than blue.
All customizations are fine as long as it’s fair to both races. But none of them are needed as much as customizations for some of the races with the least.
So it all comes off as self-centered.
The entitlement is insane. Not only does the Alliance steal an entire model, they also get tons of customization and want a perfect copy.
Meanwhile, the Horde gets a half finished awkward Nightborne, with the lowest amount of customization compare to any other race. No, we don’t get a Nelf copy, but Alliance ought to get a perfect Belf copy.
Void Elves response prove that they should have never been added. Add high elves back into Silvermoon and end the debate already

This was never a Alliance exclusive thing, there have been examples Blood elves with blue eyes in the past and was always said that those still living in Quel’Thalas would one day reattain this specific trait.
Or it is reaffirming what has been said in the past, Blood Elves are WoW’s version of playable traditional High Elves. Nothing was “ruined”.
Or they could keep the distinctions they still have and not just make them a exact copy of Blood elves.

Yeah, no.
We’re a Horde race, like it or not.
Stop, already.

Weirdly it’s kind of reversed with the Void Elves.
The process of learning Alleria went through is easily repeatable. I would imagine the heart of a dark Naaru isn’t even a necessary final step; any suitable source of void energy could work. However, our first (second if you count Alleria as one) generation of Void Elves such as Umbric and his followers, are the results of a ritual meant to transform them into something like ethereals being interrupted at a specific point. It’s far from easily repeatable as it’s unclear if they know the ritual, and even then the risks involved are insane. It’s not a reliable method of increasing their numbers, as opposed to Blood/High Elves just studying the way Alleria had.
Anyways, as far as looking like racial leaders goes, I don’t see the harm in it. Blizzard could easily give Forsaken an option for fresher corpses using the human models, and then add on Nathanos and Calia options. They’ve already given Forsaken the option to hide their bones from showing on their models and all. If Calia/Nathanos/Derek options are what Forsaken players want, I see no reason to try and gatekeep that from them.
As far as natural hair colors and hairstyles on Void Elves go, while I think there is room through Alleria to suggest Void Elves could look perfectly normal rather than corrupted 24/7, it’s not really important to the request anyways. Blizzard’s added options to races to allow players to immerse themselves as races which aren’t otherwise playable. Allowing Void Elves the customizations to look more like High Elves is perfectly acceptable.

I really don’t get using population as an argument for anything anymore.
It’s never been important to the game. There’s always however many there needs to be.

To change the model would only take 1 person and no resources, in less than an hour a random person on the internet could download Alleria’s model and update it.
Now, how long it would take to update it in the game bugs me… it all depends on how intricate they’ve made it for themselves to make changes like this.
But unless they really forked up it shouldn’t take more than one person and more than one day.

Time which could go into something more important like new customization options.
