Unless they get merged and we get more races to compesate for the missing 2 races on each faction.
We don’t need so many elf races look-a-likes anyways.
I really don’t believe they would ever merge Alliance and Horde races.

WDYM?
I mean, Thalassian Elves are already effectively neutral in that you can play them on both sides.

There is a silver covenant mount.
Available to all players of any race, both in classic and retail.
Pick a faction to play a high elf on.
Blizzard can always let us all have the silver covenant tabard to open their ranks up to all races, there is nothing but a handful of them left after mixing their genes with humans.

That doesn’t make us neutral to each other. Elves have some of the biggest schisms and drama. It just means people have more options. Which they should.

Which we don’t see a whole lot of in game. And said “drama” is supposed to be effectively coming to an end in Midnight when all the eleven tribes are reunited.
Already in the game.

It’s in the quest text if you read it. United also never really lasts. I don’t know why people would expect it to last for elves who hate each other even for wearing different hair.

For what quests?
Then OP’s issue is not an issue, thank you for clarifying. 
There is a mount and a tabard.

The whole line of TBC quests that go into why the Nelves don’t trust us. The opening quest for Void Elves where we kick them out for Alleria dipping a toe in the well… There’s also Tyrande’s tirade against Nightborne in Legion. There are even Farstrider quests where they don’t appreciate us sucking magic.

The examples you gave haven’t happened in quite a long time.
Right now, the factions aren’t fighting nor have any reason to fight each other.

Legion is quite a long time? That’s nothing in elf years.
For now. But Elves still aren’t in agreement with each other. I don’t think they ever will be completely. Just work together because they have to or things turn to

Sort of?
I’m just pointing out that the “drama” you bring up between the Blood and Void Elves hasn’t been reflected at all in the game since BFA.

It’s because elves haven’t really been the focus outside of Nelves and well they had the whole surviving because we almost genocided them problem.

Because we need another redundant reskin.
Voids weren’t a mistake. If there ever was one, it was expanding customization of both void and blood to visually create a high elf.
All it did was make helf stans more annoying.
I love my void elves. So your comments of mistake and removal are both disingenuous and overly opinionated. As well as just makes those of us that are on the fence pick a side (and its not pro helf).

They will probably have some sort of tattoo/glyphs for their skin. An entirely new race in World of Warcraft.
How would adding in a 5th elf bring about any change to the current game?
What exactly would “High Elves” Bring to the table?
What would their counter be for the opposite faction? And Why should that race be considered?
It most certainly will be in Midnight.
And Chris Metzen already stated that the elven tribes will be united.

Yeah I heard what he said. We’ve united over many things throughout the years. It never stays that way. It really shouldn’t either. Things get really boring that way. I love elf drama. I live for it actually.

I meanwhile think the Allied Races should have been, y’know. Races that actually existed in WoW beforehand. Stuff like Nightborne, or Highmountain Tauren, or Lightforged, all groups who were introduced previously and we interacted with. Not “Whoops we’ve made up a whole new race for this faction that’s tied to the krokul, the broken”. Instead we didn’t get Broken, the faction we helped and a requested race ever since Vanilla thanks to Akama’s showing in WC3. We didn’t get thematically appropriate Ethereals, one of the most requested races in the game. We got Original Elf Donut Steel that’s also aping Ethereal aesthetics
High Elves existed, Void Elves didn’t. They shouldn’t have been added as an allied race without actual set up. Every other allied race at least had some set up to them
We’re too late to have void elves removed, but their identity being eroded away and replaced with the far stronger High Elf one is at least somewhat a victory on that front, and confirmation of stronger storytelling being better than pretty visuals.
