I’m actually going to come in and say “hi, I didn’t ask for a bunch of low effort copy pastes.”
So that’s at least one person.

You asked for High Elf options on VEs and you thought that would be different then options from the already playable high elf race horde side?
I quite vividly recall you wanting hair colors in what world did you think they would add anything unique? It seems to me that after getting what you wanted in an effort to conflate or seem as someone who wasn’t after exactly what was given you claim that in an attempt to ask for more void things. Which is fine to want more void things but I would say you’re hardly someone who didn’t get what they wanted.
There’s a difference between someone who was always a void elf fan sounding the alarm to not keep drawing attention away from actually getting unique options. And you who post getting the options you were after tried to draw attention from the fact you were part of that crowd.
But hopefully we get more options soon in an order which matches something that feels fair, so the races that haven’t been in every pass first and then they’ll come back around to your Void Elves hopefully.

Hopefully we get more options for everyone, so that people have increased freedom to create the character that matches the version in their head.
Which has always been my nefarious agenda, however you want to represent it.

Well I was replying to someone that was arguing the semantics of what makes someone a high elf/blood elf/void elf.
And the fact they look the exact same is issue. Every race should have some kind of clear distinction between them. Otherwise what is the point?

I suppose the problem here is that in the case of Void/Blood/High Elves, they’re not a different race. No moreso than Pandaren or Dracthyr. At least, that’s the last we’ve heard from Devs on the matter.
Might just be time to throw them all together and mark them as neutral, like the Pandaren/Dracthyr. At least Horde elf players would have a new selection of skintones and hairstyles to enjoy that way.
Well one thing I’d like to see for Void Elves is the ability to go into shadow form. If Shadow priests of different races can do this, why can’t void elves who are not shadow priests? Seems it should be a race wide ability.
How would Horde players gain anything in that type of a trade given there’s only some people that want Void Elf hairstyles or skintones, where most of us don’t and we want the whole sharing thing to end so there can be some uniqueness.
It’s always been Void Elf players that can’t accept not being the High Elves and having all of our customizations, not the other way around.

But that would be flat-out unfair to the horde. To take their most popular race and make them neutral. The Alliance would have to give up one race to make that fair. And it can’t be some race like Gnomes which no one cares about. It would have to be as impactful and well-liked as Blood Elves.

Lol, that doesn’t leave us many options, it would be like Humans, Night Elves (unbotched) and Draenei. 
How exactly is that any different from how things are now? Seems to be the most common complaint I see on the forums anyways.
That race being, Void Elves.
I’ve seen so many Horde players singing their praises so loudly and so often that I’d be shocked if the Horde’s elf population wasn’t entirely made up of blue skinned, purple haired, tentacle-laden blue-berry elves. Unless it was all an act and they think Void Elves are trash.
If we get to actually take them back like take them back leaving Alliance with no Blood Elf model, I’m sure lots of people would be fine with that but not how it is now because the only side with anything to gain in a swap like that is Alliance and Alliance/Void Elves have gotten more than enough from Horde and Blood Elves already.

It would be nightborne getting the night elf options and night elves getting nightborne stuff.
I love void elves, and i wish others loved them the same.
But ive never seen what you are saying.
The closest ive seen is people complaining its not fair that void elves can look void or high where as blood elves can only look high.
Not that they love the void part but that its a second theme
(Edit didnt mean to quote moon, i went to quote the last part of solar but moon commented first and my scroll up to grab text meant i got the wrong text. Cba to fix)
I used to want this but we all know Blizzard will never do that fairly with Horde because then no one would play Alliance Night Elves anymore because why play on Alliance or Alliance Night Elves when there’s Horde and Horde Night Elves.
I could legit see something like that nearly killing Alliance as a faction because then all they’d have is Humans.
I think you misread the exchange Rownen and I had.
I suggested just combining Void Elves and Blood Elves and making them Pandaren Neutral. He said the Alliance would have to lose a race in the process to make it fair, something popular. I pointed out the race the Alliance is losing in this WOULD be the Void Elves.
I stand by what i said about the night elf exchange for fairness but yes it appears youre right about misreading haha
I mean, there are undead Kaldorei in the Horde, so why not? That’s got more justification to it than Void Elves getting Dark Ranger customizations, after all.

I don’t particularly want to see void and blood elves blended more than they are already… but Nightborne could stand to get a few more things from night elves or at the very least, the Darkfallen eyes/skin tone. Which should be for all elves, not just the shorties and the fangy ones.

What are you talking about? Blood Elves is a Horde race. It has been a horde race for over a decade at this point. Its not a neutral race or an alliance race. Giving them to Alliance was already too far. But demoting blood elves to a neutral race, essentially making all the work blood elves have done to be seen as horde over the last decade as pointless. It would be such a massive spit in the face. The only time I would accept Blood Elves going neutral is if every other race went neutral too.

I’ve seen more than a few people saying, ‘Blood Elves may as well be Neutral since you can be a Blood Elf on the Alliance now,’ and other similar sentiments. It started with just the model being copy/pasted, but its since become a more frequent sentiment since the High Elven customizations were added to Void Elves.
In the end, making the Blood Elves and Void Elves into a neutral race doesn’t change the lore, or even the political divide the race experiences. I imagine it’d be purely a mechanics thing where your Horde elves are Blood Elves, and your Alliance elves just go by Void Elves, High Elves, or maybe just another name entirely.
Kind of like how the Horde has Haojin Pandaren and the Alliance has Tuishi Pandaren.
Oh wow look an elf asking for more, color me surprised!
