Easy solution then, give void elves access to the human hairstyles and a few natural human colors. Voila…nothing ‘stolen’ from blood elves.

Because they should have been an Alliance race in the first place. Much like everything that happened in the 2000s and 2010s, Warcraft fans were robbed by China. It’s about time we see the elves from Quel’thalas with the faction they’re supposed to be part of.

Let’s just hand over the entire Horde faction and call it a day.
No they shouldn’t have. The Alliance faction of them being playable sure. But the Blood Elves story and connection with Sylvanas and the Forsaken bringing them into Horde and Quel’thalas as a whole fitting Horde is what it is and the Alliance wasn’t entitled to the race.
We already do, Quel’thalas is Horde.

I’ve been a proponent of this. Here’s a few human hairstyles and colors I would like to see shared with Void Elves:

Talendrion also did some mockups of Void Elves using some human hairstyles and another using Kul Tiran hair textures which are apparently virtually identical to the void elf hair textures.

So infuriating.
Well the main thing I’ve seen people (justifiably) want is A) Natural hair colors, even if it’s just white and black (which frankly void elves should’ve always had white and black hair, especially black, because, hello: void. ) and even just one shade of brown, red and blonde. And B) A few hairstyles. Not the new fancy ones that blood elves are getting, just a few that doesn’t make the void elf look like they went shopping at hot topic or, in the case of the men, don’t have receding hairlines.
Honestly, once they made the decision to give void elves natural skin tones and blue eyes, not giving them a few natural hair colors at the very least would just be spite.
Give blood elves some runes and dark ranger customization (also San’layn options would be awesome too), and that would be something unique to them.

Don’t give void elves the new fancy 'dos belves are getting.
Do give void elves a few natural color options so they can cross that threshold into the long-demanded high elf looks, since that’s what this is really about.
There can still be a bunch of colors and styles exclusive to each, everyone’s been asking for high elves since forever, belves finally got it, void elves are 90% of the way there and really just need a couple of workable hair colors to make it happen.

If I’m gonna be honest this hair colors would do perfectly: blonde,platinum blonde,white,black and maybe brown but I think it should stay unique to blood elves together with the red and orange hair colors.
It kinda sucks that void elves are like the only allied race that got more customization while the others didn’t. If one gets some the others should too.
(I think nightborne got some earring and an new eye color but that’s about it)

You’re really being disingenuous here. The only thing Void Elves have gotten that other allied races haven’t right now is additional skin colors inherited from Blood Elves, that’s it.
All core and allied races got their eyes updated.
All core and allied races got a bald option if they didn’t have it already.
Lightforged Draenei males got their facial hair separated from their tendril options.
Nightborne females got a new set of earrings.
Kul Tiran males got their mustaches and beards separated for more mix and match opportunity.
Zandalari got ear options.
There’s probably more I’m missing but I don’t think its fair to imply that Void Elves are the only allied race that got any additional customization options. With that said, I do think that other allied races should get stuff inherited from their parent race where possible. A good example of this would be the Tauren hair flowers shared with Highmountain Tauren.

I didn’t realize how edgy Void Elf hair colors are until now.
Void Elves don’t even really need the same exact colors Blood Elves have. They could just as easily get the Kul Tiran hair textures copy/pasta’d over since they are virtually identical to the Void Elf hair textures aside from the color options.
Here’s a Void Elf male using Kul Tiran hair textures.

That alone would be plenty of options and wouldn’t require copying the Blood Elf hair textures.

I would also like to play a Alliance High Elf or a Highvale or High Elf Wayfarer without a hood or mutated hair, would like to see their hair colors and hair styles added.

We probably won’t see any new hairstyles until the proper allied race customization pass happens. And even then, we may not get any hairstyles that are unique to Blood Elves. With that said, many hairstyles Blood Elves have are also shared with Humans, Draenei and other Alliance races so they should be fair requests imo.
In the meantime, there are at least four Void Elf male and female hairstyles without tentacles and no receding hairlines that can suffice for the time being, especially if we get some traditional hair color options which I think is highly probable.
If they are redoing things the wish list can still be put out there.
Of course there’s no harm in asking now. Just so long as we keep our expectations realistic as to what we will see for launch and what will likely have to wait till 9.1 or 9.2.
Due to the hot topic of the High Elf Situation is and their approach past and present to solve the problem. imho.
Oh…so did you change your mind about quitting the game because of a transgender npc being added? Imagine if they made all alliance high elves transgender.
