Just make High Elves for Alliance as separate race from void elves.
This is getting stupid to a point where actual void elf players don’t like the High elf customization and don’t want a paladin.
It’s this simple. Just make a separate High elf allied race and put paladin in there. Whatever the mess you’ve made for High elf customization for the void elves, it’s already done. So it’s stupid to remove what was announced.
And if High Elves do get added this time, just never add the same hairstyles like void elves and blood elves and jewelries. That’s all I am asking.
I am just sick of people getting angry about adding gameplay functions so people can have fun. If the devs have originally made high elf as allied race, this would have never happened. Instead they just wanted to put everything to one race aka void elf , a race that was never made with proper lore or story was just trashed again.
If people want to flag this because it seems like a spam thread with another High elf thread, go ahead. I am tired of people fighting about void elf and some paladin being in there.
No, if the alliance gets the High Elves to the horde to give the San’layn, they ask for that elven race for the most part, the Eredar aesthetically not equal to the High Elves.
I don’t care what Horde gets. They always get nicer race anyways so I’ll end up playing them too.
But I always see every day for adding more high elves customizations and classes in void elves and void elf players are getting upset that they are being clumped into one.
I understand why they’d be upset, but this is Blizzards fault for not fixing something so simple
I would like to remind you that Blood Elves being added into Horde originally was not the lore and story purpose.
It was because of Asian community that requested it and Blizzard supported it.
I think the same as you, everything that is happening is ridiculous, the truth is that it surprises me that a company like Blizzard makes these mistakes, from the beginning they should add the High Elves, with all the classes of Blood Elves, except Warlock and Demon Hunter, and voila, all this would never have happened, I don’t know why Blizzard cost him so much to do this, and I think it was because of Ion, now they gave him a slap on the wrist and things changed, but they keep making mistakes.
Now with the void elfs not only do they not have the possibility of being paladins which is something that people demand a lot, but they can agree to be warlocks and a future surely demon hunters, classes totally removed from the High Elfs philosophy.
The High/Blood elves left the Alliance at the end of W2. They were never part of the Alliance of Stormwind.
So you can’t claim lore as being “broken” when they joined the Horde.
And Blizzard prided themselves on making Warcraft unique compared to other fantasy stories — how often do you find stories where high elves were allied with orcs? This honestly made WoW unique.
When the Blood Elves were added to the Horde, it was for many reasons; the Horde needed a powerful magical race, they needed paladins (and the Alliance needed shamans), they needed a breath of fresh air — something that wasn’t just Orcs 4.0 (in the Vanilla, the Trolls and Tauren were practically Orcs 2.0 and Orcs 3.0).
Metzen said as much in his original interview back in 2007 about the Blood Elves.
They don’t care. Horde think that Blood Elves belonged on the Horde because one human General was bigoted towards them (because they left his family to die in the past).
Blood Elves/High Elves should have never been Horde. It was an azz pull for lore, given the history of cooperation between high elves and the Alliance races. Grasping at straws for awful lore writing from Metzen and the rest can’t make it work.
No, this has never been confirmed, nor is it the truth of why The Horde were given Thalassian Elves in BC.
"At the same time, we’ve added totally new newbie areas for the Blood Elves and Draenei so veterans can have a new low-level experience. But it’s not like we’re pocketing the Blood Elves and Draenei in their own areas and they’re locked out of the rest of the game. After level 20 or so we very quickly start breadcrumbing them all over the world and integrating them with the rest of the quests. One of the big fears we had was that if we added these cool new areas, the rest of your old world is empty all of a sudden.’
"That’s something we talked about four and five years ago_."

Interview: Jeff Kaplan on World of Warcraft Expansion. MAY 9, 2006
Blood Elves were planned for the Horde for quite some time.
Chris Metzen, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2005, 1:55 … 'Blood Elves were chosen as the Horde expansion race in the Burning Crusade because designers were thrilled with how well Samwise had redesigned the classic wood elves with the night elves. And they knew that, “one day, High Elves are going to have to get a facelift, too.
“I don’t think anyone has abused high elves to this degree,” Metzen said.
The Blood Elves will leverage their relationship with Sylvanas, leader of the Forsaken and the former Ranger-General of Quel’Thalas. And more importantly, the Blood Elves will not come to the Horde, hat in hand.
“The Blood Elves are going to bring something to the table the Horde can’t do without.”’
