You are most certainly correct!

The thing is that there isnât actually a point to adding the helves to the alliance at this juncture; theyâd be a clone of the belves in racials and classes, theyâd offer nothing with regards to lore and they wouldnât rebalance the factions.
And like I said, youâd still have a ton of pissed off players.
You should show us how itâs done by deleting your toons

gonna be pissed off players either way, might as well be pissed off with options then the pissed off players angry that others got options will calm down eventually because more options is always a win over all.
Maybe then once they have a few things they want the alliance will eventually ask for a decent race that blizzard would actually do. A lot of their races especially for allied races arenât interesting to me atm. Hordes are great.
High elves as they are offer nothing but caring for the people that allied with the alliance, Void elves with high elf options gives a player base allows them to go forward with lore without adding the other elves. They could potentially do something interesting, more than the other races, In the future. Given their connection to the void. Giving customization options aesthetically is fine for me.
If you are meaning giving them silver covenant high elves, I agree. It doesnât matter anymore and they are kindâve passed that since void elves already exist. I just mean give the options so they can at least RP as them or whatever they care for them with, even if just aesthetics. They already have a few of the base parts and they are working on all races getting customization options.
heck for âoffering nothing to loreâ, we had WoD which all it was used for was to bring back gulâdan and give us Magâhar so we could see draenor. Then we time skip and everything we did mostly didnât matter. Was just a way for us to see the zones, guldan, and mag har. Not that great for lore development.
It could help some rebalancing since Iâve seen some blood elves really want to make these new void elves, MUCH more so than the other allied races they got. I would like to see interesting options for Kul tirans because they look like ogres and they are cool-ish druids. I want ogreâs. Big goofy people. However, kulâtirans are one of the least played races.
I completely disagree and posit the objective fact that more would play them than that play Vulpera (or any other AR) as enough reason alone for adding them.
Why satisfy 1% of the population (Mechagnomes/Kul Tiran Humans) and vehemently be against satisfying a much larger % (possibly the vast majority)? I think this loud minority of forum anti-HEâers vastly underestimate how popular playable UNCORRUPTED Alliance High Elves would be.

Yes! And then we can stop talking about it.
Everyone wins!
I meanâŚI donât see anyone saying this advocating for orcs on the alliance. It clearly is being applied on a case by case basis due to convenience.
âI am all for this!â but that same person will not make a topic asking for the Horde to get humans. It doesnât suit their agenda.
Thatâs a fair point, however, some of those people have been asking for high elves on the alliance since before blood elves were even a thing. Also, theyâve had support from them canonically all over the story in the game for the alliance, so I assumed it was always because blizzard kept showing off these elves they always wanted, put them in a bunch of alliance cities and towns and quest givers and even made them enemies of the horde in our island expeditions but didnât give them high elves, so it would be more like entitled horde just wanting humans out of spite when we already have pretty much most of the more interesting and cooler races imo Humans are boring for the most part, especially stormwind ones. They are just farmers and soliders besides a handful of them.
Not really the same for adding humans to the horde or anything. Maybe they will give lightforged humans to Calia on horde and lightbound orcs to alliance . Who knows? We are probably going to see a 10-20 year time skip after Shadowlands so we shall see what they do.
Gameplay should always take precedence over people demanding things. As it stands, Horde lost out on a unique aesthetic with nothing in return. I am not sure what they will be doing with blood elves now since things from a design view, are uneven.
ALl it did was substitute a vocal minority, to make a greater group possibly disconcent. Not sure it was worth
On another note. Anyone want bacon?

I could go for a BLT with cheese
not sure, more facial hair?BE druids? Sanâlayn? Dark rangers?
In all seriousness, we shall see when the time skip happens. I personally would like to have seen more options for void elves that make them look like alliance high elves, blue markings etc to make them more unique and not super similar to blood elves as well as half elf options for them so they can look different.
In terms of lore. since Slyvanas is gone, Iâd imagine a lot of blood elves siding with Alleria and Vareesa now that the war is essentially âoverâ While we are all in shadowlands. They donât care nor ever really cared to be on the horde, just didnât want to die from amani and wanted their sunwell restored. Maybe they will give something unique to blood elves, or leave them to be the only ones to be paladins which is unique to them.
Now they can go freely between the elves. Also, since the horde sided with the amani and the Zandalari, Iâm sure some of them would be bothered by that.
bacon? I want bacon.
OrâŚeven with paladins.
Oh, me!
Because it adds nothing to the alliance that isnât already there and cheapens a decision that was made over a decade ago that IMHO elevated wowâs writing above that of itâs contemporaries of the day.
Like thatâs the unescapable fact of the queldorei; that there sole defining aspect is there association with the alliance and in every other regard theyâre identical to the blood elves.
Iâm talking about the queldorei as a distinct race option wholly seperate from the rendorei when I talk about âno pointâ with adding them to the game.
Because letâs cut to the chase: the only thing that distinguishes them from belves at this juncture is that theyâre azerothâs version of weebs; a race that is simply obsessed with human culture.
As to them being a popular thing that people want: Iâd put down good money that given the option of them or murlocs, people would pick the fish folk more often then not.
