How I feel they destroyed nascent void elves and culture

I just wish that those of us with less “traditional” taste would get thrown a few more bones.

Less traditional how? Are there not enough races in WoW whose males are shaped like refrigerators? Orcs just look like Conan the Barbarian except green and like twice as wide. If anything, male blood elves look so fabulous that they’re automatically less traditional than almost all other races in the game

Well, obviously there’s no way to tell what the majority of people think on this (because nobody conducts polls). But if I had to guess, with how many human-skinned Velves I’ve seen running around, a significant chunk of Velf players probably would disable the entropic embrace effect and adopt Belf hairstyles if given the option. I think for many Helf enjoyers, the Velves (even back when they were forced to have void skin and hair) have always been the best of a bad situation.

Yes. The Alliance is a minority player race who are neglected. Just look at the overall marketing. They call it the Horde and the Alliance and not the Alliance and the Horde. Everyone gets taught as a child that you count names and words up by the alphabet. The faction is dead.

The Alliance was systematically ruined by the developers, which also includes giving them Void Elves with no story legacy attached to them. It’s just incredible how these people are allowed to be developers for having such a bias.

Blizzard could have taken the path where all the thousands of High Elves that travelled with Alleria through the Dark Portal could have come back as Void Elves.

We could still get that kind of RP along with human and dwarvan survivors with adding body options to lightforged;

Time to diversify the lightforged dreaneino

And turn them into a true army of the light. Blizzard take advantage of your “body” system to allow humans, dwarves, and high elves into the ranks of the lfd as body model options! Let me rp as a survivor of dreanor blowing up! Maybe gnomes too? Lightbound orcs can be an unlock but not needed to complete this request. Edit: to include other model toggle thread links. Please show them support! Forsaken model toggle: Tuaren race toggle: Fat goblins:

You have to understand that the reality of giving the Alliance High Elves means giving them a second reskin of the Blood Elf model for an allied race.

Whatever Horde gets will be superior by default, because I can’t imagine there are enough people who care enough about this issue to outweigh the amount of Alliance players who want something actually different.

We are kind of at capacity for elves and elf nonsense at this point.

Pretty much this. The mistake was made at the start, when Blizzard went with Void Elves over High Elves to begin with. There is no adding a High Elf Allied Race at this point, now that Void Elves have been given High Elf customizations.

The only solution to this problem that might work is combing Allied Races with their parent races, and then making Night Elves/Nightborne and Blood/Void Elves neutral races like Pandaren and Dracthyr. It does leave the question of what to do with racials, but I’m in favor of letting players select a certain number of racials from a pool, or combining racials where possible.

Some of that seems easier than others with certain races. Mechagnome racials strongly build off the fantasy of being mechanized, but I feel like some Forsaken humor could fix that. “You like my skeleton pinky? Thanks! Its not mine, but its useful.”

Combining Allied Races and core races and letting people pick what they want to be called seems like the only real long-term solution to this mess.
