Race you would've liked to become cosmetic rather than a race

But more specifically, Void Elves and Lightforged are among the worst of the allied races for quality. You can literally make either of them with a simple palette swap, yet they passed them off as a “allied race”

Furthermore, both Void Elves and Lightforged work as Allied Races and were the first ones added to the game. Meaning that one can look at them as the prototypes to see whether or not the concept of Allied Races work well. Which they do.

I already addressed this, so… to quote you again: nice try.

Nightborne, additionally, were also victim of this since it is VERY clear that the NPC counterparts are vastly different and the majority were expecting Nightborne to look like them.

Which race you would like see next ? not recolored

Folks knew the difference back then. So no, the NPCs weren’t the same as the new ethereal-models. Try again. Edit: since some folks have issues with using Reddit as a link, here’s a reference to the post that folks were talking about in the comment chain. So yeah, try again - or alternatively you could accept that …

I have previously in another post addressed this, so you get the post where I mentioned it. Nightborne as they were created initially weren’t supposed to be a playable race, but with the introduction of Allied Races, they remade them so they could be that.

Without the more basic races that fit well into the story to become playable races, we wouldn’t get more unique races. Take it or leave it, I don’t care. That’s the objective reality that you are currently trying to argue isn’t real. That’s why I’m saying you are arguing in bad faith - because no matter how much you want to argue otherwise, these are allied races. Not merely just cosmetic changes.

Like it or not, doesn’t matter. Even the most bad faith argument is still defeated by pointing out what Blizzard have used Allied Races for in terms of what they have created with it.
