Not necessarily.
Unnecessary. Void elves are here and an AR. You can pretend your VE is a HE or a kobold or a Sethrak. Whatever you want. But the race was implemented as a Void Elf - soon with additional customization options. They’re still not High Elves. You can continue to ask for that race but renaming Void Elves is not needed.
Aside from this character, my Horde avatars are either troll, tauren or orc. Not 90% here nor what I see in game everyday. 
I hate posts like this.
No. You are not getting high elves. You are getting some skin tones. Stop trying to make a race take the backseat to what you want. That’s not how this works.
Some posters use cat calling and other forms of sexual harassment to try and take other posters down a peg. It isn’t a positive thing, don’t encourage it.
Eh, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck.
How bout the OP just comes out of the faction closet already and rolls a belf?
kk then you are silly… why would they not have more lore on them when one of the major characters is a void elf herself… come on sis.
Oh, I’m sure they’ll come up with something, but they didn’t do a good job of setting them up with a good back story at all.
And I’m sure whatever they come up with for them will be as compelling as other stories they come up with. Ahem.
(Commentary): You don’t have to be a professional writer to notice the Void Elves are poor concept from a literary sense. For starters, any playable race should be well seeded into the setting before being made playable. This was a mistake the writers said they made with the Draenei back in BC, that they would not repeat, yet here we are. At the least they could’ve been foreshadowed, but that never happened. At no point before 7.3 was there ever any indication of High/Blood Elves studying the Void in any sort of significant numbers, or having any interest in that power. The race overall has had a strong connection to the Light from a cultural and historical point of view, so, ‘Suddenly Void Elves,’ felt really unnatural to players.
(Commentary): The above issues though? They could’ve been forgiven if Blizzard had immediately devoted the necessary time and content to flesh out the Void Elves. If we’d gone from recruiting them to learning about what they’d faced in Quel’Thalas, what they went through, to how their time separated from the Blood Elves had caused them to change or re-organize and develop the foundation for their own unique culture, that would have been great. If we had more lore characters than just Umbric and Alleria, ‘maybe she is a Void Elf, maybe she isn’t,’ Windrunner, that’d be great! If we saw the Void Elves actively involved in the void content of the expansion, at the very least studying it, that would have been great!
(Commentary): None of that happened. Blizzard made a literary blunder and did nothing to address it. Saying they’ll have a role in the future feels hollow. At the end of Legion people were saying they’d obviously have a role in fighting the void during BFA. Well, BFA is over, and every opportunity for the Void Elves to have fought the void has been passed up on. They only existed for Horde players to kill in invasions.
(Commentary): Having said all that, there is no reason you shouldn’t like them, if you do. Some people can make do with the bare bones, some people just enjoy something different, some people just like their looks, etc… It doesn’t matter why you like them. Continue enjoying them. Just don’t expect others to avoid pointing out that the race is so under-developed, calling them half-baked is laughable; they’re ingredients thrown into the mixing bowl, not even mixed.
This is really excessive. I don’t see what looking like another race has to do with void elf hair colors.
If you want new hair colors for your goblin, that’s totally fine. You will still be a goblin whether you have pink, purple, blonde, brown or black hair;
Void elves will continue being void elves whether they have pink, purple brown or black hair.
So… they attacked a courier? That’s hardly any better.
And it STILL isn’t going to encourage the courier to abandon the people who literally freed them from slavery and join your side!
Nope. Alliance doesn’t get things. Beside, we already have a cheer squad for adding druids to Belves, so go to the back of the line where Blizzard wants you.
Here is the thing…
becoming a void elf wasnt intentional for alleria.
The other elves who btw have a magic addiction looking for other sources of magic they can and this is important CONTROL in order to subdue their need to continously absorb magic.
Sure they may have had some connection to the light but just like the blood knights seek to control the power of the light and they dont revere it like other races do.
Umbric wanted to see if he could succesfully control the power of void. ELVES ARE NUTS
(Commentary): I mean, is she even a Void Elf? Seems to be a High Elf wielding the void, more of an honorary Void Elf than anything else. We can say she voluntary learned how to master the void.
(Observation): The restoration of the Sunwell has sated the addiction once more. There isn’t a need to look for other sources. The Sunwell once more passively sustains all the elves.
(Commentary): I mean… you’re not wrong?
Yes okay I’ll get right on that.
Can you repeat that in Thalassian? backwards…?
Void elves are like 10x cooler than high elves ever dream they could be, so no, get outta here scrub.
This is kind of the thing with high elves; while void elves have their problems they at least have some interesting themes and ideas. With high elves you have… a bunch of elves who have integrated into human culture like weebs who moved to japan.
You’re aware that being a courier in a war zone makes you a legit target, right? Sacking supply lines has been a vital military tactic for thousands of years. It was the Vulpera’s choice to be dumb and engage with running war supplies to the Horde.
Also, I’m on the Horde babydoll. Quit saying ‘your side’.
We’re talking about the Vulpera’s decision, so this is moot. No matter how justified the Alliance or others feel their attack was, the Vulpera see it as an attack on themselves and would seek retaliation. The moment the Alliance attacked them, they became just like the Sethrak in the Vulpera’s eyes.
The general “you”.
Erasing a races entire identity just to suit this High Elf crusade is very silly. I like the Void Elfs, its new lore and eventually we must add new lore to the story? Some of us seem unable to grasp the basic concept that almost every story that has been mentioned, will have been told once Shadowlands is out. Just accept it, new lore isn’t bad. Everyone gets a High Elf anyways, stop trying to strip identity of one race to replace it with one that we will never get.
