This is a typical representative of haters

Probably super conservative and a church (wo)man.
You promised to quit the game in summer, so why are you still here?

To think it could have been trivially resolved over ten years back and no sane person would complain.

How? Could you give me a quick run down on what is an high elf, sorry for not knowing of the topic 
Hidden profileā¦ High risk of asking the question in bad faith.
Simply the high elves blizzard have been parading around in the alliance through the expansions. Not the blood elf elves from the hord, not the kicked out blood elf faction aka void elves. The high elves from the various high elven settlements and factions the alliance got.

Iām sorry I dont understand the answer but Iām not familiar with the topic at all, that is why I asked if you could give me quick run down on what is an high elf cause I cant read of them in character creation nor follow the lore outside of the game so Iām not familiar with the concept. I understand if it is too tall order to give some quick explanation, cheers.
Apologies, sadly this is one of the many topics that got bad faith actors thatās more interested in drama.
The gist is when vanilla was release, there were a few high elves (blue eyed) scattered about. 2 settlements (one village and one a cabin) on the alliance side and a few netruals here and there.
Enter TBC when blizzard released Blood Elves, the āsuccessorsā of High Elves, following their masacre in their homeland. But the released them for the Horde. Still in the same expansion they released another high elf settlement for Alliance (Alleria stronghold in terrokar forest).
Then Enter Wrath where they added two āhigh elfā faction, one being the Silver Covenant and aligned with the Alliance. And the Sunreavers. Both of which have been butting heads since then.
Soā¦ Blizzard have pretty clearly established their presence in the alliance. Not as major as for hordes Blood Elves, but still major enough to compete with gnomes a vanilla race.
As for their difference it goes like (High Elf >= Blood Elf >= Void Elf)
High elves are those who siphoned the sunwell while it was mainly an arcane entity, or other arcane sources. After the massacre of the high elves by arthas, most and silvemoon took upon them the name blood elves (but clearly not all) and ended up turning to fel magic for sustenance after Arthas tained the sunwell. Then around legion, we got to learn about a cult of blood elves in silvermoon that wanted to eat void beings, giving us void elves.
So the High Elves that are requested, are the high elves that blizzard have been dangeling variants of in our face since vanilla. The High Elves that werenāt beholden to Silvermoon, or submitted to the void elf cult.

Please explain how does the High Elf request impact the lack of long beards for humans since classic.

Technically there is no reason why we couldnt have both, or even go as far as give high elves long beards 
Iāll never understand the people who act as if implementing one of the original core races is somehow illogical or damaging to the game.
We know that Blizzardās stubborn, but this lies in the same territory as any of the core races.
We donāt have high elves through void elves or blood elves. While we have some features, some biological and some cultural - itās not the same. Pedantic arguments aside, we all know thereās enough difference there to justify their implementation. And like someone mentioned before, there are many ways to work around this without bloating the character selection screen.
Allowing Void Elves to be characterized as āHigh Elvesā, and most importantly, visually changing their racials (Just like they did with Blessing of the Naaru) would be an excellent start.
It wouldnāt cost a raid, guys.
A game never suffers from more nuance.

Itās certainly not damaging to the game, but I do get it when people balk at the idea of even more elven races being thrown into the pot.

It is fair point, considering how many there already are, would suspect people want other races aswell or the game start look like world of elvencraft, and now we are getting haranir soon aswell to add on the amount of elvish races. Personally I could have skipped this haranir tbh, not a fan of it.
No, what is illogical or rather irrational is that even though Blizzard clearly doesnāt want to give the alliance helves, you guys are still kicking and screaming after 18 years and counting. With blizzard already having compromised twice.
Do you think that you are somehow entitled to get helves? Or are you just not used to not getting what you want in general?
