Tentacle toggle is a cosmetic option that adds a lot to the existing hair styles.
That doesn’t show that Blizzard is considering red eyes for void elves, so your point about them not showing interest in red eyes for blood elves is still meaningless.

Right, so nothing. Blizzard hasn’t weighed in one way or the other, so you’re just assuming.
The tentacle toggle was a cosmetic option. Maybe not everyone’s favourite, but it wasn’t nothing.
I actually didn’t say that, all I said was that you don’t have a source on claiming that they 100% are going to get something more.
To be honest, Blizzard really should be adding more options for customization options going forward. They’re clearly a popular addition. It would be ridiculous of them not just stop adding them altogether. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying they will add more, but I’m not saying that I don’t think they will either.

My point is we have 0 indications for what blizzard wants to do with void elves. They haven’t gotten any void options, so it’s literally up in the air. Where blood elves have had their pass and cemented an idea for their aesthetic. One is up in the air (Void elves) The other is already pushed down a path (Blood elves) That is my point.
The high elf stuff wasn’t even made for void elves. It was made for all the high elf players who got stiffed by the very concept of these stupid void mongers. It has absolutely no indication for their actual void treatment in the future
Void elves were pushed down a path, getting high elf options. Sucks for people who want void options, but it is what it is. That doesn’t mean people who want void options should stop asking, nor does it mean people who want more options for blood elves should stop asking.
Your weird crusade against blood elves is getting tiresome.

Again, the high elf stuff is not pushing void elves down a path. If so, we’d see their names just changed to high elves. This was a bone thrown for high elf players. It has 0 value for you void elf players, it wasn’t meant for you void elf players. It was a high elf thing, creating a sub faction within void elves, but not adding to void elves. There’s basically 2 races in one right now. And high elves just got their pass, but void elves did not.
That’s like saying that Bronzebeard Dwarves didn’t get a pass because of how many of the new options happened to fulfill the Wildhammer fantasy.
Whether or not there’s subraces within the race choice itself or not, they count as the same race by the game.
And Blizzard has given no indication that they are separating passes by visually distinct subraces vs just the playable race itself.

Last I checked, Alleria is a void elf, not a high elf. So if anything, we’re being pushed down the path of actually looking like our inspiration. I don’t see how you missed that.
And you don’t see that as unfair to the parent race, blood elves?

Bronzebeard isn’t a race. The race is just titled dwarf. All inclusive. They are just the regular dwarf clans added into one. That is a stark difference from your race being titled an actual faction of a group. Void elves aren’t thalassian elves, they are VOID elves. So they will always just be void elves. But dwarves are dwarves. They can be brozebeard or wildhammer. There is nothing specifying them one way or another.
Some people only see what they want to.

If you go back to the RPG, where most of the high elf lore comes from (even though it was decanonized), Wildhammers are taller than Bronzebeards, can’t go Stoneform, and have Druids.

Their heritage armour says otherwise:
Void Elves are a subclass of Thalassian elves. They’re literally Thalassian Elves mutated by the Void.
And elves are elves, what’s your point?
Yet all of their voice lines reference being in the mountain, and never in the open skies, as a Wildhammer should be. That on top of the fact that you can only wear “Bronzebeard” heritage.
See above.

Well, they gave you shamans now, which isn’t really a bronzebeard thing, more of a wildhammer. I don’t know about druids, but you can ask for it, and because they are just titled dwarves, it could happen. They don’t need to be called wildhammer for it to happen, because as a race they already encompass wildhammers.
As for their size… who cares? That isn’t really shown to be a thing at all anymore. And stone form, they definitely can go stone form.
As for heritage armor, we’ll see more of them in the future. There will likely be a wildhammer set waiting for them down the line. But as of right now most races don’t even have one set, so that will have to wait.
There. I’ve fixed it for you because apparently you think players are responsible for the downfall of this game.
We surely also didn’t ask Arthas to be turned into Anima 35 or have Sylvanas become like she’s important to the story. Devs did.
Same thing for Alleria becoming Void Elf and the rest of the Void Elves when we had been fighting against voids and demons as paladins and praising the light. It’s all devs.
It’s kind of silly to assume void elf players are responsible for this atrocity.
The plot of that was stated in, (I believe) Cataclysm as your player character being a Bronzebeard Dwarf who was taught by the Wildhammer how to be a Shaman.

I hold them both accoutable. Obviously the devs more so, but also the players who adopted this and think that it’s cool. It only adds insult to the wound and makes it harder to snuff out this void nonsense.
Just like blood elf players are free to ask for Dark Ranger options. You see how that works?
Look right here, an undead blood elf:

That has all been but retconned. Wild hammers are now thrown in on the dwarf race. Again, it’s just titled dwarf. The race has never been called Bronzebeard. The wildhammer options added, with the name being just dwarf, means canonically you are playing a wildhammer. But that isn’t the same for a high elf player playing a high elf as a void elf. You are titled void elf, and your options do not cut it with the aesthetic.
Undead? So it’s an undead? Then ask for the options for the undead race. Undead race is different from the living race…
No one thinks it’s that much cool. Majority of the current Void Elf x High Elf fans don’t find it that way. We just accepted it and take it as for granted because there isn’t going to be any other way for altercations or having high elves as allied race. I surely want one, but that’s not gonna happen.
I am assuming you were from High Elf discord, but obviously you left because you were mad for no apparent reason and instead you are ranting over here.

No, it means canonically you’re playing a Dwarf. It could be a Wildhammer, it could be a Bronzebeard wearing the tattoos. That’s the point.
I would love that, but a model toggle won’t happen. No race has more than one silhouette (unless you count the slight change of the Orc hunch toggle, or Worgen’s non-combat only human form).

That is absolutely not true. While you might not like the options for them, trying to say that a Void Elf doesn’t look visually like a High Elf with the options they have currently is just flat out wrong.
You can make a Void Elf that looks nearly identical to the High Elf NPCs you see around. Somand’s done it in the past, I’m sure she’d link you one of the pictures if you haven’t seen them.
