That’s fair. Speaking on behalf of the total population of everyone everywhere is a mistake. That said, I’ve rarely found anyone who’s liked the Void in Void Elves. It’s something the race has never had any connection to prior to Alleria, and few people even cared for it then. The bigger issue is that as far as the Void Elves are concerned, the Void may as well be arcane magic, just purple.
My gripe is that they didn’t do enough.
For a race where their focus is studying and mastering the void, they were absent for every void-related story of this expansion, only showing up to fight the Horde. This race needed development, desperately, and this expansion was loaded with plot points that could’ve fleshed them out immensely! I will never forgive Blizzard for making Void Elves nothing more than quest fodder for the Horde to feel good about killing.
As for the missed plot points:
Uldir: There’s an artificial Old God (void entity) that can destroy the world, and who introduces Alliance players to it? Is it the Void Elves? Have they been looking into all this dark/void magic in Nazmir? No, it’s Brann.
Eye of N’Zoth: Uh, oh! Eyeballs are getting slapped onto people’s foreheads, corrupting them, making them hear whispers and see things! Surely the void magic experts can fix thi- no, nevermind. Tidesages got this handled, why would you even think of the elves studying and mastering the powers of the void before the water mages?
Naz’jatar: The Horde has Blood Elves and Nightborne teaming up to take the fight to Azshara, representing their people’s most ancient traitor and oppressor. Azshara’s vile Naga forces are employing all kinds of sinister magic, including the use of Void Magic, with an entire area in Naz’jatar devoted to it. Surely the Void Elves, who have as much reason to hate Azshara as any elf, would be here, studying the Naga void magic and devising defenses and counter-measures and- Nope. The only Void Elf you’ll see here is generic guard NPCs. Why would they want to fight the Naga, or study their unique use of the Void, right?
Ebonhorn, and the Cure to the Whispers: A major part of the Void Elf identity (other than the color purple), is being constantly assailed by the Whispers of the Void, attempting to drive them mad. You’d think when Ebonhorn began to be corrupted, that the Void Elves would’ve been sought out. Surely they’ve been working on a cure for this, no? Apparently, no. They’re not even involved. In fact the answer was in Karazhan the whole time.
Visions of N’Zoth: An Old God is literally launching invasions around the world and driving people insane en masse, corrupting the world. Where are the Void Elves?! Nowhere, apparently. It seems they’d rather chill in the Telogrus Rift than even study what’s going on, let alone helping combat it.
Like I said, BFA was bad, and Void Elves are an analogy as to why.
I’m not saying people aren’t allowed to like Void Elves. If you like them, please, keep enjoying them. Me personally? I am horrified at how they’ve been mishandled. For a player race, they deserve so much more. Compare them to the Nightborne, or Highmountain, or Zandalari, even the Vulpera or Mechagnomes, and Void Elves have had no effort put into them at all in just about any way.
