Since they always want to look fabulous, I would put a mirror in the bottom of a swimming pool.

I’m willing to bet it is both. Because there are Blood Elf guards in Dragonflight that use the Blue Eyes. I believe the first ones we see doing it, are the ones at the Embassy in the Waking Shores when we first arrive.
But quite a few of them are using those eyes now.
and its easy to do if you’re accustomed to playing 1 faction, then start playing the other

Oooh, good reference to the Greek tale of Narcissus too! 
Folks have been asking for BElf druid and shaman ever since TBC and Cata, though. There is absolutely a sense of ‘you have been asking this for eternity’ when it comes to those particular requests
Pallies and shamans for the remaining are probably the next two coming at some point
True, but they’ve also had lore for both of those for like ever.
-
Druids - They came from a Druidic Society before they are who they are now. They have the Farstriders, canonically every spell they did had nature magic in it, because of the Pseudo World Tree that connected to the Sunwell and anchored thier Defensive Shield. Cata revealed Druids could heal the deadscar, so it added in another avenue.
-
Shaman - in Cata, they revealed Belf shamans used Runestones and Void magic to bind the elementals to become Shamans of the Twilight’s Hammer.
And that’s just the easy bits I know off the top of my head.
Oh for sure, and based on Hallowfall in WW, it seems like Paladin will probably be next.
Like I’m not saying Blood Elves didn’t have a lot of classes, I’m just saying that in thier defense at least there was a decent backing for pre-established Lore to let people theorycraft easy ways that they could be those classes.
Without getting into the weird lore territory for things like Worgen Death Knights(The curse is supposed to keep them from being able to become undead), Nightborne Monks, Mag’har Warlocks, etc.
So please at least know that I do get your point of saying the race had a lot of combos already so it’d be nice if other races got more combos. I’m just also saying, that most of the threads I’ve seen over the years at least came at it with a lore backward, that was somewhat feasible.
Which always made the knee-jerk reactions of people who were upset by the idea, seem even weirder.
I mean in that regard, people have been asking for more accessible, yet reasonable class requests to various races for awhile now.
Personally I disagree with the concept of “All races = All classes” – as I’m an advocate supporting lore, but I can still agree that there should be much more wiggle-room.
- I made a thread a longwhile back to help justify the more taboo classes amongst certain races, such as the loophole with spell-visuals (void elves getting void-visuals with holy spells for both priest & paladins for instance) etc.
However that’s a different manner to this thread altogether.
Yeah, I remember doing that on my Alliance toons flying into the Horde city.
“No wait, uuuh I’m forsaken – See!? I’m a Death Knight!? …” 
Guards: 
“Looks like meat is back on the menu boys!”
Blood Elves aren’t ALL “fel addicts” – Heck, I’d argue most of them aren’t.
- Lore-wise the majority of the Blood Elves unlike their brethren on Outland, had employed the magical-feeding technique only on mana crystals and small mana-bearing vermin.
- They used the fel-crystals to empower their city, research constructs & other magical matters with the loss of the Sunwell – The soft-fel radiation caused those within the vacinity to display a fel-hue in their eyes.
- However given it wasn’t a major or permanent effect, in time the radiation can fade from their bodies; especially now with the restoration with the Sunwell.
- As others have pointed out, there could had been designated ‘Blood Elves’ since BC that had blue eyes, afar from the fel radiation.
- By that extent ‘High Elves’ in Outland could have had fel-green eyes too due to being around fel-energies saturating the area they’re around too.
Blood Elves formed & held their name to honour the fallen and embrace their people moving forward. The namesake has nothing to do with the fel or even their eyes.
… Plus they wouldn’t wither the entire existing Blood-elf race, merely to transition the kingdom into neutral for the Alliance, along with the High Elves to reign supreme in numbers over Quel’Thalas.

I shall create a transmogrifying disease that only targets Thalassian Elves. This disease will transform those infected into Pandaren, both in body and mind. These new Pandaren will then be cloned, providing us with an army large enough to challenge any other…
…Which will promptly be put on reserve. Their collective identity death will give my people the army we deserve (and will likely need once The Device is complete)
This of course has one loophole in that the disease will effect Void Elves and Blood Elves as well. Unfortunately for them, I don’t care. Quite the contrary, as it means more converts.

I have considered your words and I find I dislike you.

They should do a gimmick video where they do a ‘Drug-bust’ DEA ordeal on Elves with Felweed.

you find some are so consumed with elfdom they resist the disease and increase the odds of pandarens embracimg them. oh look, our first convert, lorewalker cho
Have them join the horde, they’ll die that way sooner than later.
Mutation does not = a different race. Any more than say someone who is lactose intolerant would be.

Well, since I’ve already written myself as the Warcraft equivalent of a Resident Evil villain, I shall deal with this the way one of them would. In that case, I suppose my choices are:
Make even more creatures to combat the unruly ones
Or…
Turn myself (presumably irreversibly) into a big dumb monster in a desperate effort to oust my opposition.

I would get behind them, and someone else can push them off a cliff 
How is that a problem? we need an Alliance leader to go insane. Tired of the Alliance leaders being such goody goodies that can do no wrong.
