Give me dwarves for the horde.

No, people are accountable for their own actions. People who wanted to harass others with real life info over not getting the type of elves they wanted should be held accountable. Ion didn’t force them to act like that. If I don’t get every little thing I want in a game do I get to leak peoples real life info, stalk them, harass them, and otherwise act badly? No, no I don’t. Not even to the people who oppose my requests. Not to Ion, or any other employees. Trying to cause harm to people because you don’t get your way in a video game is not okay, full stop.
And not everyone wants high elf fans to be miserable, some just wanted the blood elves to remain unique. I’ve been in the anti discord a while now though, and I’ve never seen anyone in there express a desire to harm people, and especially not over a difference in opinion on elves in a game.
Not all high elf fans are bad, but there really should be more of them calling out bad behavior on their own side. I should have done so more when I wanted high elves as well, honestly.

Thalyssra is a femcel. Pass it on.
But like, what?
I think Mogu would work TBH.
I don’t think mogu would put us in the cosmic game, Mogu are pretty"bound" to Azeroth.
Something that could put us into the upcoming cosmic conflicts and that would require cosmic capabilities. Preferably(for me) it would be void based to build up rivalry between them and the Ethereals, which would add more of a reason for choosing sides.
Well, Liadrin is kinda crazy, so maybe she brings another light-crazy race that thinks like xe’ra.
The user in question who got harassed tried to do this with me as well. As you American say, the grass is always greener on the other side. Do you remember what the first topics were about? The bitterness from the Void Elf players and guess which people jumped right into the discussion to enjoy the misery of the others. Most players brought this upon themselves, with the Blood Elf players starting this trend and the Void Elf players escalating the situation. It’s a good thing that the person in question does not post anymore here, his attitude was very toxic and petty. But he is/was not the only one. Some still try to take a piss near a hydrate just to mark their territorial. The Blood Elf players were forced to accept the situation and the five stages of grief were on full display the past weeks.
But these are just some random marbles nobody will care about anymore after the update. The problem lies within Blizzard for enabling these deranged people on both sides in the first place. The Alliance had been neglected and caricatured the past years and this is truly the first special moment they can enjoy as a RP faction. This is their big “High Five moment” they have been waiting for after our faction dominate the whole game. The Blood Elves should have never stayed Horde but neutral due the complicated history on both sides. I do hope this was a lesson for the developers.
I can’t speak for the discord channels because all my relatives and myself find both groups childish. Both sides have a warrant claim for High Elf customization due the lore and most of the Blood Elf players don’t want to accept this. I’m glad this was finally solved for the sake of all the forum users. And do you know what the sad part is? Within the next six months nobody will give a damn about these changes anymore because everyone grew accustomed to the new situation.

Well the Shadowlands revealed that there is cosmic worship of Elune across the cosmos, so maybe that means Anshe worship is as well? So while I know you want Void, maybe a Light theme that isn’t Naaru/Human themed would be cool as they could have a direct connection to Anshe.

Or those things that sell stuff in the shadowlands.
The Brokers are such a cool addition to the Warcraft universe hnnnng.
Ethereal vs. Broker would be a funny rivalry. Kind of like Gnomes vs Goblins

The main thing I want is something cosmic so the Light could work. Void just makes the Ethereals going Alliance make so much more sense. They could have a kinship with the Void Elves as victims of the Void but hate actual void entities.
At the end of the day aside from lore Blizz also has to come up with something that people should want to play as.
Sure why not. IDK if they could have any male-female distinction though.
Ethereals probably wouldn’t either though I think that’d be a misstep since Ethereals clearly look male-bodied, and there would be no reason for fem ethereals to not take female shapes.
Another option is the non-cursed Arakkoa.
They worship the sun/light and they ARE from another planet.
Maybe have it all dependant on the masks or making the lady brokers dummy thicc. Cause we don’t know there’s male/female…we just can’t tell them apart outside voice. Which personally I’d be ok with if we could only tell via voice. Same with Ethereals. Though looking at the Hearthstone artwork for Ethereals, it looks like they have breasts outlines with their mummy wrap.
Technically…so are the Orcs 
To be fair, that doesn’t really stop them from implementing unpopular races. They come up with things that are going to be unpopular but stick with it.
That’s true so I guess the best thing I can do is not advocate for “NPC” races that might not translate well into playable races. I have learned my lesson with the Nightborne at their launch.
I’m not sure they’ll do what they did with Nightborne again. I think when they know that a race will become playable, they’re going to have them working off an altered version of a base race instead of just the skeleton.
Brokers seem okay being just uniform because of how…conceptual they are, like their form barely resembles organic beings.
Ethereals meanwhile clearly resemble men wrapped up which is why I think it’d be dumb if all Ethereals ended up looking like males.
Though in this day and age and current wow team, it might be considered sexist to give them female features. While I see it the other way around, because why should male be the default?
I don’t think I’ve seen those HS artworks though.
The OG cosmic race.

I’ll be honest, I generally play with my sound off and I thought Locus Walker was a woman.

To me, that looks female.

Every time I see this thread I scroll up to see if troll beards are mentioned.
If not I think “but how will the devs know trolls want beards?”
So I gotta make this comment to let them know in case this is the day they are searching for ideas
This is why I reply always with troll beards here.
I’m not trying to be annoying or “trolling”
I’ll be back when this thread makes it round again

Haha that’s fair his attire resembles a dress.
I play with the music off but the voices always on.
Yeah that seems to be a female one.
So far the wow team does keep them looking the same though.

That’s a female ethereal and has basically the same model as the Locus.
I also support troll beards! Give them to undead too!
