Much better. 
The silver covenant would never join the Horde.
I can see it being fair, only if Void Elves are given the “Alleria” Treatment.
Never said they would. The high elves which as a race left the alliance and eventually joined the horde and re-named themselves would eventually regain their blue eyes over time as per Blizzard themselves.
Having races that look exactly the same on both factions is a bad idea imo.

While I support HE’s the Half Elf idea that the OP is perpetuating forward that others have stated before would be dependent on utilizing human customizations also, like the new diverse human skin tones etc, as well perhaps editing stance which makes a ton of difference. And other changes to make Half Elves more well not a HE copy

But you are using a completely different context: you are talking about how the Ranger Lords of Quel’thalas looked down on a human.
I’m talking about the City of Dalaran, where humans and elves have already lived together for 3k years. It’s an entirely different situation. We know Kael’thas had an infatuation with Jaina and it doesn’t seem to had been treated as anything weird in Dalaran, but do you think for a second the Thalassian Nobility would accepted that union?
It’s pretty evident we are talking about different levels of acceptance in a place like Dalaran (A multiracial city) and Silvermoon (The traditional home of the isolationist elves)
And these while true -except the bit about Alleria and Vereesa, I have yet to see someone actually saying something about them- it really has nothing to do with the possibility of human/elf relationships being somewhat normalized in places like Dalaran.
Not because a universe has dark stuff in it means that everything has to be the worst case scenario. That’s just weird.

I mean the Mok’nathal are actually a whole clan of half ogres, and even as you brought it up, their origins are very dark; they were breed from orcish slaves with ogres to make stronger slaves, but ultimately gained their freedom and settled in their own village.

Love that mok’nathal lore.
No, it is not irrelevant.
For most faction leaders, they have unique models in a way they stand out but are unique yet still following the parameters of their race. Even Velen, the faction leader with a different body type, it’s to show his frailty, and Sylvanas, she was always literally a different race than the rest of her people.
Gallywix? A goblin, a fat one but a goblin nonetheless.
The point is, that even if customization is limited, most racial leaders actually look like their race, just more unique, because they are not limited by a lacking customization system. It’s obvious that while the playable in game model is limited, your character could be as fat as Gallywix, as frail as Velen, as young looking as Anduin. The could look like that in lore.
Alleria is no such case. She is a Void Elf that looks entirely unique, whose existence defines a Void Elf as just an elf who has gained mastery over the void. That Void Elves look blue is an entirely out of universe answer to make them distinct from Blood/High Elves.
The whole point is that Void Elves are a rushed concept that didn’t even fit with the lore from a patch before, that’s the problem here. If they would have taken even one moment more, they would have made Alleria be blue just like the other Void Elves after she consumed L’uura.
That’s the problem, it just makes it obvious is a design choice, not a lore point.

That’s the issue, it’s an entirely subjective thing that they already broke with Pandaren. We can’t even say it’s a hard stance when they have literally breached it in the past.
It’s entirely discretional.

Everyone can acknowledge pandaren were a mistake. They’re one of the least played races if not the least.
I mean, the companies been slowly deteriorating over time and its core members leaving in a similar timeline that all these bad decisions are being made. Coincidence? Using piss poor decisions from the past to justify more terrible decisions is really silly, but you know if that’s the only way people can support their arguments for things they’re demanding, WoW may die sooner than we all imagine.

Uh, no. Don’t think that you can come across making such a lazy generalization and have people leave that just unexamined.
And you really think that’s because they are available to both sides, or is it because they look like pandas? Come on, be honest.
And what has one thing have to do with the other? You can use that argument to vilify any decision you don’t like regardless of any actual connection since all the context you need for it is a time frame.
All you have is continue to make the subjective call that it was a “piss poor” decision. Just because you didn’t like it, all the while completely glossing over that the reasons of Pandaren’s low popularity are for darn sure mor linked to the model than their bi-factionality.

Putting a bunch of time and work in a race that nobody plays makes them a waste of time to make / a mistake. That’s not subjective. Unless you’re trying to assume that everyone who plays pandaren is a whale.
I mean, yeah? They’re a lame mistake of a race. That’s what I said…?
Uh…yeah, It’s my opinion. You can disagree with it if you’d like.
I never said they’re not played because of bi-factionality. I just said the race was a mistake in general. That would have included the bi-factionality, but not the only reason or even a major reason. 
Then why are you bringing up pandaren being a mistake when I point to them when you say
It’s like you are attempting to descredite pandaren, but not on any way related to their bifactionality.

Because you brought up Pandaren at all, they were a mistake. I think bi-factionality and all was a mistake. That’s my opinion. You don’t have to agree with it, but get over it and leave it at that at least.
I mean, I dislike the fact they’re bifactional as well as everything else, but It’s just my opinion, relax.

If all the strength of your argument is “well I disagree” they yeh, maybe we should leave it at that.
I mean I do agree “I don’t wike eet” is not a strong argument, so bummer that it was all you got.

I mean if you can’t comprehend the argument or are clearly ignorant of Blizzard’s stance / what the entire game has been founded on / what made the game popular, sure. The game’s been declining and worse and worse decisions have been made that, may not be directly effecting the continuous decline of the game, but definitely aren’t showing that they’re helping it.
Your ignorance to how the company has ran its own game, their opinions, etc. doesn’t really give you a leg to stand on and makes you look quite silly when you spout such childish retorts.

Again with the claim that somehow lessening faction restrictions would impact the game negatively, with no evidence, just because you think so because the game has already been declining.
All you are saying “that’s how it is” while decrying the lowering on quality and pinning it on things you don’t like, while making the assumption that a lessening of faction restrictions would further lower the game quality, because you say so.
This is not even a point.
