This won’t do it. Only thing that will do it is to bring down the faction wall.

Worgen were supposed to be this but they sanded off the edges of the ‘curse’. Now there’s literally no reason to not be a worgen in-universe. You get supernatural vitality from it and turn into a werewolf. Every human should be lining up to become a worgen.

An option to adjust some of the animations of a core race and its allied race counterpart with no other changes to the rig, model, or textures, available to males only =/= An existing race getting access to 2 entirely different models per gender, on the basis that those models are used by NPCs. I am sick and tired of the “I want to be a human shaman but I don’t want to be fat, please give special treatment to this race that I would never play otherwise” crowd trying to compare their pie-in-the-sky request to what orcs got.
But that’s exactly what they did…
Void Elves are just Blood Elves. There is very little to no difference and they have pathetic lore that barely backs them up as a seperate race. It would’ve been easier for Blizzard to just make Blood Elves neutral, and give them the Void / High elf customization options. 
Waste of an AR slot for the Alliance. And I will die on this hill, btw. 
So many ideas in one place.
Uh, I highly doubt making an existing non-pandaren race neutral would’ve been easy or was ever even on the table, least of all the one that makes up the bulk of the Horde playerbase. The Alliance has no claim to Silvermoon or its people, despite the rabid high/void elf crowd insisting otherwise, and the Horde would need an Alliance race and city to compensate. This push for blood elves (and to a lesser extent, tauren, goblins, and vulpera) to be forced into neutrality makes me want to throw up.
Alliance is just as unique as Horde. I don’t agree w/ this post.
Lore wouldn’t matter though.
Void Elves have no lore, thus making Blood Elves, since they are the SAME thing, neutral would’ve just saved development time. And the Alliance probably would’ve gotten a more substantial at the very minimum AR instead.
Hate to break it to you, they already are neutral. They are just under a different name on the Alliance. 
well it does do one thing, when new players check out the game and get to character creation screen for first time, they 100% choose the char based on one of the following criteria:
- the one of interest on the faction their friend / family is on
or - the one of interest out of both factions
why are they of interest?
-pretty, sexy, handsome, grotesque, buff, furry, edgy, intimidating, crazy, silly, thicc, some non-human color like blue or green, looks like them, looks like loved one, always chooses that race in fantasy games (like i have a friend who always makes his characters look as close as possible to drow).
whoever has the most appealing appearance in their preferential category wins first char roll. pretty/handsome/intimidating are the top three. so best looking female, best looking male, most commanding
There has been a graphic shared around the forums which displays some numbers in graphics, with ~70% of the created characters being Blood Elves. The graphic has been posted in the “Worgen-tails” and the “Appeal on Blizzard from the Alliance guilds”-topics once.
There was nothing else to pull from during the first wave of allied races that the Alliance could’ve gotten. They were invariably going to get a reskin of an Alliance or Horde race, and one that was introduced on the Broken Isles;
- Highmountain tauren, we met them in Highmountain and they joined the Horde to be with their kin.
- Nightborne, we met them in Suramar, they wanted to join the Alliance to be with the night elves, but found more common ground with the blood elves and joined the Horde.
- Lightforged draenei, we met them on Argus and they joined the Alliance to be with their kin.
- Alleria became the first void elf, or void-infused high elf, which set a precedent for more elves to become something like her.
What else could the Alliance have gotten? Actual high elves? Blizzard barely remembers they exist. Their only purpose now is to show up at the beginning or in the middle of an expansion, do nothing, and then bugger off before the last raid tier. They still don’t even have unique voices. Their current status as a race of props is probably part of why void elves were created in the first place.
Silvermoon not being open to both factions says otherwise. 
Minor discrepancy, Blizzard probably overlooked giving the Void (Blood) Elves on the Alliance access to Silvermoon.
Also I would say that would be more of a race, then the entire faction sort of deal. 
Kind of like, how Elves can talk that specific language in game to cross Faction boundaries as well. (Don’t remember the name of it)
I’m thinking… 3 more flavors of draenei. Y’know… Krokuul, broken… uhh… those weird jumpy bois from WoD
/s
Honestly though, there’s so much variety Alliance could have rather than just different heights of human.
If you only count unique races that anyone would actually want to play then Horde still comes out ahead.
Zandalari dudes are the most attractively designed playable male characters in the game other than blood elves and void elves. Kul Tiran humans were obviously added into the game at the same time as Zandalari trolls because the devs like to mock Alliance players. I’m pretty sure void elves are the only Alliance allied race that isn’t less played than all of the Horde allied races.
They let it get too outta hand. Only fix now would be alliance racials so op that competitive teams would have to switch.

Tuskar I would prob faction change to alliance to be the roundest of round boys and then grind my way to a hippo mount so I can be the roundest of roundest on the roundest of round mount.

The only thing that’s going to remotely change faction balance is CE awards so good that faction changes are justified.
Or imagine a reward for Top 10 kills.
The perception is that most of the raiding scene is Horde side, and HoFs where Horde finishes up their hundred with Alliance lucky to have 10 don’t help with that.
