Which should be our next topic of discussion.
In order to have a fair trade for Alliance High Elves, which is an exact copy, much like the Nightborne are exactly Night Elvesā¦
The Horde need a bizzaro Alliance Race.
Soā¦ Choose an Alliance Raceā¦ and then strange feature nobody has ever wanted ever, and put them together for the new Horde race.
I submit: Worgen with Duck Bills.
There obviously would be, but:
Iāll take a turn speaking for the Alliance. The Alliance deserves something better than Alliance high elves. The Alliance should get something cooler than another horse, even if weāre stealing that horse form the Horde.
Nightborne are the same race as Night Elves because theyāre literally the same race as Night Elves.
Their story is that they were āTransformedā by a knock off well of eternity. Soā¦ Theyāre Night Elves.
Highborne are part of the Night Elven race, thatās why they allowed Mages to be playable.
And the Nightborne are just a ton of Highborne with some āNight tansā but not even all of them.
Iāll accept that Nightborne are a different race when you accept that Blood Elves are a different race because their eyes glow green.
Theyāre just some, āWar of the Ancientsā Night Elves.
Ducgenā¦I like it! In battle they should turn an unpleasant shade of yellow too. I think they also need webbed feet.
There are only a few things that are even close to being as popular as High Elves, according to basically every poll ever (on both these official forums, and other websites) ā and the few things that are close, are apparently things Blizzard doesnāt like for one reason or another.
Vrykul and Furbolg, come to mind.
Dwarves with Goblin Shark Faces.
Anglerfish Gnome.
All appropriate Horde races to make up for tentacle elves while Alliance gets playable High Elves.
Maybe in a thousand years you can get them after they get an Alliance themed tan and their skin turns blue? Waitā¦
Youāre a male Night Elf player arenāt you?
They should get the void elf treatment, since they seem to like void elves so much. They can get such a riveting story, and have a race based on the spec of a class. Give them good racials too so we can cite how popular they are if people complain about the garbage story and random body parts stolen from aquatic creatures.
You mean a weak lead in a couple of polls circulated by your community?
Iād like to see Blizzard do an official one.
One of their developers already said itās the most requested race. Jeremy Feasel.
Giraffe Draenei.
Donāt forget the duck feet to. Then complete good to go. 
1 racial could be 30% increase swimming
if you think blizzard is going to add a third variety of thalassian elf to the game and a second variety to the alliance when their parent race is on the horde, you are deluding yourself
void elves killed the idea of alliance high elves stone dead
blood elves were never fel corrupted. they are more fel touched
this contamination will fade in time as they are gorging on a font of holy light energy. we got gold and i suspect we will get blue once the new advanced customization options are brought in. so you wont even have this to refer to anymore as differentiation, not that your logic works anyway. if it did golden eyes would have been an AR 
Cool. I didnāt say it wasnāt.
Theyāve also saidā¦
As Callistus just stated, it doesnāt matter if you donāt think the polls are accurate or fair ā the development have stated, on numerous occasions, that HEās are one of if not the most popularly requested race.
We get it, you think theyāre boring ā the people that actually play the Alliance disagree. 
Haha. Itās so hilarious whenever someone who is against High Elves argument gets smashed so theyāve got to post the Q&Aās like itās going to hurt someones feelings 2 years later.
Whatever they end up looking like, they need to have some sort of function in the story, like how the void elves can open portals! Maybe they get a bonus to looting, .05% faster so they can have a cut scene where they steal a treasure slightly faster than their comrades.
The goalpost was here, but now itās there.
