don’t worry, if any other race gets any customization. we’ll hear about it from an elf about how they didn’t get any.

High elves refer to two things. The original definition being everyone who lived in Quel’thalas and now the more modern meaning of those who do not side with Quel’thalas/never sucked magic.
We literally have “sin’dorei” because all void elves are blood/high elves.
You literally just said you agreed that the Silver Covenant are still part of the Alliance. So yes, we have lore stating high elves are part of the Alliance.
They have like 8 natural hair colors.
You mean you want more. What qualifies as good or bad is entirely subjective.
You mean like Alleria’s Ranger tattoos? I suppose.
The original definition being Highborne Night Elves who were exiled and then later transformed into the more human looking elves via being exposed to the magic of the Sunwell.
well void elves are in the bottom 5 for customizations, whereas humans are in the top five. its funny, so far night elves, humans and dracthyr have all wished that i, and many others, not have even 1 new hairstyle. because…i dunno, cause we’re elves and elves should not have as many customizations as other elves and humans and dragonkin, because they said so.
tango!!

Not anymore. They abandoned the Sin’dorei when they decided to touch the void. They abandoned their philosophy. Same for the void touched, they are not high elves.
Who cares, they aren’t big enough to justify a faction or even a customization of the existing race, which makes literally zero sense.
Silver covenant is, at this point aligned with the alliance, but you still haven’t provided a single source showing their numbers.

For starters, the Silver Covenant didn’t exist until Wrath of the Lich King. They were ALL high elves within the Kirin Tor. When the Kirin Tor decided to be neutral in the conflict between the Horde and the alliance, they reached out to Quel’thalas for magical support against their war against Malygos.
-
The same even population within the Kirin Tor SPLIT between those that converted to the blood elven phylosophy took the name of Sunreavers, having Aethas as their leader (only non-human member of the Council of six) while the others created the Silver Covenant.
-
Of the whole Quel’thalas kingdom, 90% of the high elves were slaughtered during the Third War and 90% of the survivors became blood elves.
-
There are merely 1481 high elves after the third war (since they comprise mere 1% of the original high elven population, that was at least 148,000 prior to the third war). Source: Warcraft encyclopedia, High elf and Blood Elf
-
As playable races, Blizzard already stated that high elves have considerably smaller population even from Gnomeregan. (Source: Blizzard lore posts)
-
High elves are considered a rare sight within alliance lands and also considered a fallan, all-but-extinct race (Night of the Dragon, pg 7)
-
With the destruction of both Theramore and Quel’Lithien, the bulk of the remaining high elf population appears to be bound to the Silver Covenant in Dalaran, the Allerian Stronghold in Outland, and the Quel’Danil Lodge in the Hinterlands.
-
According to Vereesa Windrunner, high elves seldom give birth and very rarely give birth to twins. Source: the well of eternity, chapter 2, pg. 30
It doesn’t take much time to get all the sources together and put a nail on this coffin for the 10000th time.
Move on.

Characters in Azeroth don’t think in terms of customization options or gameplay choices.
Alleria is a child of Quel’Thalas and a solider of the Alliance. She returned after 1000 years to find most of her surviving kin switched political affiliation. Didn’t change who she is.
I love how much use I get from this. So no being void touch does not mean they are no longer Sin’dorei if they consider themselves sindorei.

The Warcraft Encyclopedia states that high elves are scattered all over the world and don’t act as a coordinated whole. As such, they do not have common opinions or goals.
Not gonna happen.

That feels like the same sort of confidence that people have when they said “we will never have demon hunters/eredars/draenei warlocks etc”.
If Blizzard wants to add it. They will. And honestly, with how WoW has been going for the past few years they are probably more willing then ever to acquiescent to their player’s demands.

notice how its always about reallism until it isnt. its realistic that we have manari eredar warlocks living happily alongside draenei warlocks. hehe i mean, i think its kinda cool that the manari are free of sargeras but ya know, realistic, it is not

Totally wrong. Alleria CHANGED her political affiliation. She was aligned with the humans of Lordaeron, never aligned with the humans of Stormwind.
So yes, she had a political change here, and she decided to align with them instead of standing with her people.
I don’t care that you’re liking a guy that is most likely not going to be involved with the game anytime soon as he was bad mouthing his own company on twitter these days. Chriz Metzen is back and things like Void elves are never going to happen again, thank God. Official Lore sources have already and even in-game information that contradicts whatever he posted. Alleria is BANISHED from Silvermoon:
Alleria accompanied the blood elf leaders, as well as the concurrently visiting nightborne leaders, and discovered that its energies had been changed: the Sunwell was no longer a source of pure arcane energy, but also holy Light. However, when she stepped closer to its waters, the plateau erupted into void corruption by Alleria’s presence. An unseen presence loomed behind the curtain, apparently using the void within Alleria as a “vessel” to corrupt the Sunwell, and unleashed a void horror upon it. Combining her powers with Rommath and Thalyssra, Alleria succeeded in closing the void rift before disaster could strike, but from the blood elves’ perspective it had already happened. Rommath ordered Alleria arrested as a saboteur, but Lor’themar interceded, instead banishing Alleria back to Stormwind on the grounds that her very presence poses a danger to Quel’Thalas

And here I quote Lor’Themar Theron:
Enough! You will leave at once, Alleria. Accident or no, your presence poses a danger to Quel’Thalas. Go back to Stormwind. Silvermoon is no longer your home.
SILVERMOON IS NO LONGER YOUR HOME.
Silvermoon
is
no
longer
your
home.
Just remember: those that EMBRACED the void abandoned the sin’dorei philosophy for themselves and adopted the ren’dorei philosophy becoming one with the void. They pledged allegiance to the alliance because otherwise they would have nowhere else to go and nobody to support them.
If you want to call all of them “high elves”, whatever. They just don’t look like them and should never look like them.

i have always wondered how kalecgos got a half elf illusion, thousands of wow years prior to dragonflight, if there were no half elves back then. there’d at least have to be a big enough sample size for him to encounter one.

No, it is about always getting things their way. People need to learn an important lesson: you won’t always get things your way.
You can have a blood elf into your alliance guild. that is already given. You can customize that blood elf as a high elf look-alike.
What people want is to CHANGE the lore, rewrite history only to have things their way.
It doesn’t work like that and never will.

She was alligned with the Alliance. If you need a brief history lesson, Stormwind was as much part of that Alliance as Lordaeron ever was.
Until that happens his word is lore.
Ah, yes the dude who keeps shoving high elves in the Alliance. You know the guy is as much a fan of old school Alliance as much as old school Horde. And the reason we keep having high elves be part of Alliance in EVERY expansion sans WoD is partly due to his approval.

Neither humans existed, or Dwarves like that, but then Neltharion did take the human male form and Veritistraz of a Dwarf male.
I think I read somewhere that they could see through the future the creatures, I don’t remember where tho.
agreed, the lore shouldnt be changed too drastically. it just is, occasionally…shall we say, suspect. and that wiggle room leaves a gap for hope to spring up
If Blizzard would just put in the lore like I said earlier today when we gain Druids and Shamans to bring all the off shoot High Elves back under the Blood Elves banner, add in a storyline of healing the land, then focus and overloading the void aspect of Void Elves it would solve any future debate of which ones are the High Elves and invalidate any other requests from Void Elf players for Blood Elf/High Elf stuff.
I mean sure they’d still have their pretending customizations they already got from us but it would solidify that we are two very different groups and thus never allow shared stuff between us again which would be a double win.

The lore has always been high elves have been part of the Alliance. Even when officially their race left, there were high elves(who kept the name when blood elves tossed it liked a used rug) and continue to be part of the Alliance to this day.

You need a Warcraft history lesson bro.
Except it is not.
And the very same guy who gave the Blood Elves to the Horde instead of the alliance.

so how many half elves in the future… …
You are the one who needs it. Especially considering the first Alliance leader was Lothar. You know, from Stormwind.
Except it is. And until such time as Blizzard state it isn’t your view is headcanon.
Because the Horde had a population issue. Now it doesn’t and he was also part of Blizz by the time when void elves were given to the Alliance.
