The info Iâve encountered makes me think that Light corruption of a void elf would be⊠somewhat explosive. 
Its not that I want them to be lightforged or anything. I just want to see the options blood elves have for themes expanded. The Light is a thing with them. Like I mentioned above Iâm not thinking much.
Based on the lore Iâve read, blood elves wouldnât get void elf options because those blood elves who followed Magister Umbric and were devoted to his teachings were kicked out for refusing to stop their scholarly pursuits. Umbric had agreed that they would leave. Blood elves rejected them and they left. The reasoning was that those who mess with the void are a threat to the Sunwell.
For blood elf to get those options would be smacking at lore pretty hard. To have those options like tentacles, the deep void colored skin change, and void hair appearances, blood elves would have to be researching and practicing void stuffs.

You must think fen! There is many other options then bringing them close to the lightforged looks!

This part I can understand seeing as hypocritical. Your telling people that want a light aesthetic to just go play a different race, but them immediately back pedal into âand no I wonât just go play the dark aestheic races, give me the customizations I wantâ.
Wow had evolved into having so many sun races and sub sects of each race, and everyone has a favorite one. But does it really have to devolve into such aggressive commenting?
I want Sanlayn, I would love some holy aesthic options, I want ranger tattoos, I want red eyes, I want all of it. Advocate for your favorite, but donât call other peopleâs wants nonsense or say itâs ruining the race.
(I know its rich coming from me who was very anti vulpera, but that was mostly me being overly sassy as felsavior. In reality I didnât care, internet is just fun.
I hope that future discussions arenât this aggressive by any parties, thatâs not fun for anyone.

No, actually, because Dark Rangers/Sanâlayn/Felbloods existed before void elves, and Iâm saying it in response to people claiming we shouldnât get customization of it because void elves exist.
Meanwhile, lightforged elves isnât a thing, point blank period, and hasnât been demonstrated in lore. They got golden eyes, thatâs it. The themes Iâm mentioning actually exist in the game currently and prior to void elves.
If Blizzard didnât suddenly toss customization into the trash, and if people didnât jump right to âletâs ignore any other aesthetic other than the light aesthetic for blood elvesâ, I wouldnât make comments like that. But itâs constantly, âWell the other theme for blood elves is holy and they should focus on that while ignoring other thingsâ. Where itâs, again, never been shown to have âlightforged elves in loreâ, yet those who do like the current lore and want to see those themes reflected are pushed aside.
Best of both worlds would be if they gave multiple options, but I wonât stand by someone saying âwell void elves belong on the allianceâ while Horde have had those themes for much longer as opposed to the âout of the blueâ void elves.
Would be nice if people could make a point to attack the argument as opposed to the poster, but here we are. That person went all out of line, and I stand by saying that, along with their ridiculous false claims they canât back up.
Edit: Also, people attack my ideas all the time. Iâm allowed to do the same. I donât attack the people that want it, though, which is out of line.

Are we supposed to have like background on this or something?
^ This is the exact post Iâm referring to, and reflected by many others here who have replied.
And no, I donât think that other races should be ignored either, I wish there was more asked-for customization across the board. I, however, am perfectly allowed to give my opinion as well on what Iâd rather see them give to a race I play.

Belf Players: Blood Elves fullfil high elf fantasy, play a blood elf!
Also Belf Players: We want goth elves for the horde!
Blood elf fullfil generic elf fantasy as much as void elves fullfil goth elf fantasy. Having a small number of a race in your faction, doesnât mean the said race should be playable. Want to play a goth elf? Alliance is waiting for you!

And look at that, my point is being made in real time. Except what I mentioned (Dark Ranger/Sanâlayn/felblood) actually exists in lore.
Whereas âlightforged elvesâ do not.
Edit: Also for the last bloody time. Void elves are NOT undead or fel. âGothâ isnât a theme. Itâs not. Weâre talking about magic types. Whereas the light theme is on lightforged Draenei and blood elves have always leaned toward arcane. There is neither a fel nor undead theme in the alliance. Void elves have no viable fantasy for it. They are void. Thatâs it.
(Edit is to people like the poster above. Not fell)

Iâll admit Iâve been Mia for a bit. But are people actually asking for like lightforged draenei style elves or for more holy/light aesthetic options?
Itâs only been a few months but I remember seeing more dark ranger/sanlayn requests. I donât remember ever seeing a lightforged elf or anything like that.
Thatâs fair to say.
If you check my post history I have always been very anti vulpera. I feel like Iâve seen you around the forums before even when I was more active, Iâm a little surprised youâve never seen those posts but then again Iâm like the most forgettable 10k+ poster.
Yeah the notion that each race can only have 1 subsect is the wrong mind set to have. Saying blood elves got theirs because of some eye colors is like saying undead shouldnât get upright models because they already got a no rot option.

Yes, on a regular basis in these threads. More than that, theyâre saying we shouldnât get dark ranger/SL/Felblood stuff and instead get that stuff.
If we could get all of the above? That would be very lovely.
But then itâs always âStop asking for elf stuffâ and it drives me nuts, I donât think anyone here is saying âno one else should get stuffâ.
Yeah, exactly. If people think blood elves should get a variety of customization and themes, and void elves too? All for it. I just donât want something thatâs been in lore and sought out for pushed aside for something else (aka lightforged elves which again arenât a thing). Thatâs my only point with regard to that aspect.
But yes, in summary people have been wanting LFD-style stuff for blood elves to contrast void elves
(except Fenelon who brings up a very good point).
Sun-themed jewelry would make more sense (well⊠more jewlery options than what we have that are less bulky) to me personally. Mana-glowing hair would make more sense for arcane (again personal opinion) since that feels more âblood elfâ. (oh and arcane tattoosâŠsomeday x.x)

For this image alone, Iâm intrigued.
What do you have in mind?
If you value visual distinction then you should be arguing against the current VE options that destroys visual distinction.
BEs receiving a second visual theme wouldnât have as strong a leg to stand on if you didnât already have a second visual theme.

Plus as I mentioned above, goth isnât a theme. Itâs not. Weâre talking magic types.
Void elves = Void.
Blood elves = arcane/fel/to some people, the light but not Lightforged, none of those themes are of which reflect well on blood elves right now imo.
Dark ranger/Sanâlayn =Do not exist as playable and the fantasy isnât captured by nor does it belong on the alliance. No, void elf lore, faction, and story Donât capture any of this At all.
Felbloods= pure fel but admittedly a long shot

Thats why I oppose the OPs request for VE options too honestly BEs shouldnât get them, but I do feel OPs heart is in the right place in terms of looking for a solution for whatâs happened

Like if people want lore to be made and exist for Lightforged blood elves then fine, it could be interesting even if not my cup of tea, but I really donât want to see people turn around and say âOk now blood elves shouldnât get the thing thatâs existed in lore for a long while that people have wanted.â Or âif you want dark elves go play allianceâ where void elves donât capture the theme of undead at all and frankly donât feel like they fit in the alliance anyway. (That one is just my view on it)
People want Lightforged Draenei options for blood elves? Ok, just donât say we canât get anything else either. Thatâs the thing that really bugs me.
