No it doesnât, If anything one can argue that Blizzard did this to hint at them thinking that High Elves would be a joke race.
Okay great prose mate, but that doesnât make them remotely the same thing.
Iâm sorry, I was stunned there for a second.
Youâre using joke patch notes as a referenceâŠ?
Ok I was trying really hard to not add personal commentary⊠but I know what itâs like to be left out because âIâm doing this for youâ. So no, that wonât work.
They alluded to Pandaren. They alluded to two new elf races in legion. And Iâve seen people wrongly use them as citation for why they wonât happen but the theme of them seems to be alluding to things. Especially if they plan 2 years ahead of time, itâll be by next expansion. Or end of SL going into next expansion. They do two expansions ahead I believe.

Except than in neither of those cases they previously said they wouldnât happen.
No they just alluded to it happening and then it did. Why itâs been used to allude to things.
Midare, Void Elves are not a new race. There is nothing stating them as a new race. Otherwise, if you think all it takes is for magic to declare them as a new race, then the same thing then should be said for Blood Elves.

They literally went through significant physical changes and they have different blood color, not to mention that weâve seen elves change biologically for being infused by different sources of magics plenty of times. Youâre reaching low-level-human-hunter levels of disingenuousness that I didnât think were possible.
And they also said they wonât happen for roughly 14 years. They never said âpandaren wonât happenâ nor âNightborne wonât happenâ.
Youâre conveniently leaving out this and clinging on to April Foolâs patch notes.
EDIT: Inb4 you hit me with the good olâ âbut they never truly said they wonât happenââŠ
And where does it state that they are a new race then?
Physical changes =/= new race.
Oh right, so I am pretending to ignore logic that that Antiâs are claiming, despite you have no real source that says "Void Elves are a different race from Blood Elves and High Elves. Remember what Ion said? âVoid Elves are pretty much another flavour of High Elvesâ
Also, youâre also ignoring some of the physical changes that Blood Elves encountered when they used demonic magic and became effected with Fel Radiation.

And you wanna reword that for the class so I donât have to go dig out the dev quote again?
I see things are business as usual. Carry on!

Their eye color changed. You know, something that sunlight can cause in humans in the real world.

I truly hope you donât need a cast after that reach, but putting that asideâŠ
At that moment, the cube opened with an explosion, allowing Nether-Prince Durzaan â the corrupt ethereal who had stalked Alleria and made an attempt to claim the Sunwell â to surge into Telogrus. Durzaan immediately began a spell to capture and corrupt Umbric and his followers, binding them in an attempt to transform the elves into creatures of the void. Alleria, swearing to save her brothers and sisters, fought a brutal battle to free Umbric and slay the Nether-Prince. Displaying her fortitude, neither Durzaanâs power nor his offers to share it were enough to sway Alleriaâs resolve, as she made clear to Umbric that the whispers are not to be trusted. Alleria succeeded in killing Durzaan, and while their minds and souls were still their own, the sinâdorei had been transformed by the ritual: now, having consumed the void as Alleria had, they had achieved new powers as well as a dangerous susceptibility to its whispers.
Magister Umbric says: Alleria⊠⊠My people are free, but we have been⊠changed. And the voicesâŠ
Alleria Windrunner says: High King Wrynn, and I found the sinâdorei. Like me, they have been changed by the void-- but their hearts and minds remain their own.
But yeah, youâre right. Being changed means they just got a new skin condition.
Alright then.

Still is not saying they are a new race. How about you stop being disingenuous
Yep, youâre doing this on purpose, ping me again when youâre willing to argue without dishonesty. But I wonât expect you will since doing that wonât earn you brownie points.

How about you back up with real facts of where it says they are a new race. As I said, physical changes does not declare them a new race.
Oh right, and you think I care about who likes post or earning street credit, all that stuff.
Blizzard shouldnât have to write it down for you to understand that they are, indeed, a new race. Why give them purple blood if not to emphasis on this? The void infused, and transformed them, and would have made them ethereals (another entirely different form of being.) but clearly the process was intended to change them.
And they embraced this change, unlike the high elves who still use the Silvermoon banners, the Void elves use an entirely new banner, embrace different ethics, and beliefs, and were completely transformed from their former selves. Clinging to the idea that they are still Blood/High elves makes very little sense.
