As much as I would like some additional hairstyles for Void Elves, I think we can even make do with the existing Void Elf hairstyles if we:
a) Get more hair color options
and
b) Get a tentacle toggle like the Night Elf hair leaves.
Just being able to toggle the tentacles off alone gets us 6 “more” hairstyles for both males and females. That, along with more traditional hair colors, would allow us to make fairly decent looking High Elves imo.
Obviously more hairstyles are welcome, even if they are just ports from other races. But in the interest of immediate gratification, along with the skins, just the hair colors and tentacle toggle would be good faith efforts for pre-patch.

Ask for what you want. It’s not a competition.

I think her point is, that the horde isn’t getting anything in return for sharing stuff with the alliance. Less about wants and more criticism

they should just kill off every Horde character at this point and save us the time of caring about any of them.
I doubt that Horde Blood Elves are going to be getting anything else. Imo Blizz isn’t too concerned about equity between factions/races. With their initial news they’ve caved to the helfers again at the expense of Horde Blood Elves.
I’ve decided to accept that the helfer’s desires are just more important to them.

I feel like a huge faction split is about to happen. all those people that play Horde for BELF have no reason to anymore. they can just play them on Alliance. Blizzard shouldn’t have caved cause this will just hurt faction balance rather people want to admit it or not.
I’m not sure why anyone playing Horde for Blood Elves would jump ship when they have the larger player base, domination in warmode, and the more active endgame. Swapping to alliance means giving all that up for… what exactly?

From my experience the people who play Blood Elves do it because they love them AND the Horde. It might be different for other people and on role playing servers. If people leave the Horde for the Alliance…let them go…better to have people playing Horde who like where they’re at, imo.

Better characters. Better writing. Alliance favoritism.
Better characters? Better as in how?
Better writing? I don’t know if you’ve been playing Alliance in BfA but the writing has been pretty craptastic all around for both faction. Sure as Alliance you’re less likely to get hit with the villain bat (though that may change with Tyrande is Shadowlands) but at the same time as Alliance you don’t get to do anything. You only get to react to what the Horde does (again this may change in Shadowlands).
Alliance favoritism… if there’s any favoritism shown to the Alliance, it’s probably not actually favoritism but poorly thought out efforts at incentivizing people to play Alliance since the Horde seems to be dominating in the end game.

I’d be happy with horde getting more options though. Obviously when it comes to specifics like void tattoos it’d be odd seeing them on blood elves but by all means both races should get cool stuff.

Better written? Generally immune to death? Generally the most iconic?
That’s because they’re the good guys. Good guys only react.
More mounts, more unique mounts, access to Horde mounts while Horde does not have access to Alliance mounts (Bee, hippo, Lion for example), better allied races with better Allied race racials.
Maybe Blizzard shouldn’t care about the 3%?

better as in none of them die even when they should. Jaina, Tyrande, Malfurion, that black dragon idiot that I forgot the name of, and Im sure many more. oh and they literally brought Illidan back out of nowhere. and Im sure we will see the return of Arthas in Shadowlands, there’s no doubt in my mind. Alliance characters constantly survive everything, apart from Varian. but Varian is only one person. compared to Horde losing Gallywix, Cairne, Garrosh, Saurfang, Rastakhan, and Sylvanas/Nathalos next expansion (though they really aren’t horde at this point).
Better writing as in you don’t have an anime character like Sylvanas on your side who cant be beaten, even by the Lich King
Wrathion isn’t an Alliance character (or a Horde character). Varian Wrynn died in Legion, though I do agree that the Horde plays musical Warchiefs far too often and I am hoping this new council of theirs ends that nonsense.
I’m not sure Illidan qualifies as an “Alliance character” anymore, but I do admit Jaina certainly is the most egregious example of a living deus ex machina, though you might equate her to Sylvanas if you want to talk about “can’t be beaten”.

Laughs in RP server shard Warmode.
yeah well said. I dont mind Blizzard killing off characters, like they could kill off the annoying ones that have been fleshed out and had their stories told (Sylvanas, Thrall, and Jaina) but they need to stop killing off new ones. Rastakhan should have lived longer and fleshed out more. it pisses me off so much they killed him.

Not sure I’d agree with “better written”, but I do be agree that other Horde leaders should get more in depth development. Lor’themar and Thalyssra in particular. As to immune to death, Varian would like a word with you. But I do admit that the Horde has lost far too many leaders over the years for, in many cases, stupid reasons imo.
Basically in any place where Jaina shows up for the Alliance, Thalyssra should show up for the Horde and be just as impressive, and any place that Genn shows up for the Alliance Lor’themar should show up for the Horde and be just as impressive.
That’s because they’re the good guys. Good guys only react.
Well that might be changing in Shadowlands thanks to Tyrande.
Maybe Blizzard shouldn’t care about the 3%?
Maybe endgame means more than just mythic raiding? Like Mythic+, Group Finder availability, and participation in other max level content? Keep in mind also that even that top 3% has a trickle down effect. Right now the mindset seems to be that if you want to do progression raiding and have a larger pool to recruit from for both a guild and to simply engage with the group finder for various things, the Horde has a clear advantage.

I don’t think Rastakhan was ever intended to live long. To me it seems Blizzard always intended to have Talanji be the leader of the Zandalari. Rastakhan’s death and the raid on Dazar’alor were merely a vehicle to get the Zandalari to ally with the Horde and install Talanji as the Zandalari leader as Blizzard seems to have meant from the get go.
