I don’t need to. I’m not the one desperately begging for a racial copy-paste.

Better get used to it then, they’ll keep asking until they’re given the race or a definite no. 
I’d be happy with just the customization options, personally.

Well yeah, that’s included.
because they want a hot slutty race on the alliance.

Void elves deserve pale tones imo.
Blood elves just got skin tones darker than void elves have. So let it go both ways.

Yeah same here and I think that this solves a lot of people’s quandaries in one swoop.
Plus, it’s also the easiest of the “solutions” to implement. Hell, even if it’s just the Helf-exclusive skin tones that are added (The NPC Helves have unique skin tones compared to playable Belves and Belf NPCs.), it’d be a marked improvement.

No.
Void Elves were given to the alliance in a mistaken effort to give them a high elf look without giving them an exact Blood elf appearance. It would be ludicrous to let void elves look even more like a Horde race.
Definitely shouldn’t happen.
Play Horde if you want the look.

What make you think they need to compromise with the playerbase for anything?

Not all High Elves renamed to Blood Elves, there are plenty of original High Elves in various Alliance cities, and they’re not an allied race–they were already part of the Alliance, even before the First War.

how they look EXACTLY the same

How to make high elves visually distinct? Don’t the red eyes usually give it away?
Thank you! Honestly the idea was just about how we are getting Wildhammer through Dwarf customization and how that could be used to give alliance players the High Elf fantasy they want, or at least, the closest with the current systems already in place.

So tired of these “compromises” that are based around “give us exactly what we want, and you don’t get what you want”.
Here is my compromise.
You don’t get high elf skin tones or high elves at all.
Seems like a compromise right?

Well that’s only true if you are a hardcore faction exclusivity kinda person, which I am not. So this is entirely a subjective design choice, who would have thunk.
I have always found this argument incredibly silly since I already play Horde and have many Blood Elves whom I’d never swap to the alliance because… I like blood elves.
I don’t get why some people think the only reason we want playable High Elves is because we don’t wanna be in the Horde. Some of us just like the lore and background of Alliance High Elves. Should not be hard to understand why Void Elves were nowhere close to fulfill that.

That was indeed the point of the idea; like of course i’d like playable High Elves with their own customization as an AR, but thinking of Wildhammer Dwarves being introduced as customization, the idea is then about what’s more practical, efficient, and less resource intensive. With the lore explanation being these are High Elves that have joined the Void Elf ranks, cause also in lore terms, I find it easier that more already alliance elves would join rather than have more BE exiles, which I believe regardless of any HE customization possibility.
It should also not be hard to understand why making a popular race neutral (from a gameplay point of view) would make people disgruntled.
It should also not be hard to understand how this is not a compromise thread. At least not a fair one. The compromise completely ignores the issues people have, while ensuring that one side gets what they want.
