I mean whoever is writing the lore also wrote High Elf Wayfarer NPCs into the Void Elf starting Zone learning the Void and Ion also said that the Void Elfs are actively recruiting the other elfs, so the people who made the Velves quite literally are the ones who said High Elfs are joining them.
If they didnât want to âdiluteâ the race with other Elves, they didnât have to. But they actively made the decision to do so in-game and in the story. And then made the decision to do so in character creation too.
I honestly think someone at Blizzard actually sat Ion behind a computer and told him to play Alliance where we interact with all the Alliance High Elves.
Just donât throw that kinda weak junk in here where you try and smear the people who disagree with you as disrespecting the devs, when it can be just as easily turned around against your request.
There literally is and someone had a literal quote from Ion himself about how they are recruiting other elves into their ranks. I will try to find it.
Locus Walker is training High Elf Wayfarers and Silvermoon Scholars in the Void Elf starting zone in Telogrus rift. The High Elfs there donât have the ânormalâ High Elf NPC eyes, they have bright blue glowing particle effect eyes like DKs which implies they have already started becoming void-infused.
Alleria was trained by Locus Walker and became an official Void Elf after she absorbed the Void energy from Lâura, as Locus Walker taught her. By this we can assume that he can teach the other High Elf NPCs in Telogrous Rift how to absorb and manipulate void magic, which seems to quite literally be the case as their eyes have become Void-y.
In terms of thinking from a business perspective, High elf customization for Void Elves, by reputation alone, drums up more conversation than lesser performing ARs as you say.
Seemingly backed by leaking the intense amount of new Blood Elf customizations datamined, them being the most popular Horde race, makes sense.
As much as i value equality, iâd understand if they stopped there for now and picked it up at a later date, makes sense to work on and reveal what would drum up more attention than what wouldnât.
Thats not true though, a popular question when Shadowlands was revealed was if ARs were getting new customizationâŚwhich Ion shot down in an interview.
If this was the point (to drum up conversation), why would Ion originally shoot it down?
Would you mind pointing or linking me to him saying that? Iâm super intrigued and it gives more merit to High Elfs/Blood Elves and Belf hair colors and styles!!
Drum up a conversation, ergo, hype for Shadowlands.
Not as popular = Not as much hype for Shadowlands.
Which could also just be waiting to be revealed, not every customization needs a blue post, like i said before, they felt the need to do it for Void Elves for the extreme uproar it would cause from the High Elf aesthetic.
Most of the ARs are more popular than Pandaren, gnomes, and goblins. They have the same amount of hype more or less.
Which is why I say it was spur of the moment rather than planned.
No i get that. But why go through the âSee hype, deny hype, then get peoples hopes upâ when all he had to do was âsee hype, confirm hype with little detailsâ?
Much like youâre doing now, youâre âwondering and hopingâ that theyâll see it through with the other ARs, they got you right where they want you.
Iâm the same way with Worgen at this moment, the second i see a straight back worgen male, itâs game over.
Well see if she does or does not die in Shadowlands.
Iâve been searching and I canât find it which is annoying me because I literally read the entire quote on here yesterday in either this thread or another one. IIRC basically just said that High Elfs and Blood Elfs alike have sought refuge/training from the Void Elfs and those in Telogrus Rift, which is further proved by the NPCs literally training there/entering from portals to train there and having Void-y eyes.
But we basically know that they have been recruiting and growing in numbers with new trainees, you can even see how large the Void Elf force has become here:

Also we know that a large number of the new Void Elf recruits seen in the army during the Battle for Lordaeron are Blood Elfs because Lorâthemar calls them âTraitorsâ during the Siege of Lordaeron.
Woah, weâre all friends here, no need for hostility.
So far, Void Elves arenât getting anything Blood Elves didnât already have. Theyâre literally getting handmedowns from Blood Elves. Blood Elves technically have more new features confirmed, so Blood Elves have more ânewâ assets, while Void elves will indeed have more assets total if they recieve everything Blood Elves are getting.
Now this a customization reveal thread for both Blood Elves and Void Elves, so itâs perfectly appropriate for to ask for features and/or voice concerns regarding both races.
Now while yes, other races do deserve to recieve features, this is not the best place to voice said requests and concerns as I know for a fact there are other threads out there championing both customizations for different races as well as one for all that really need the traffic for discussion and bumps, rather than marginalizing other races here for the sake of controversy and debates.
