You know what he meant.
Just give highelf customizations for blood elf and void elf imo. More long hairstyles as well. Down to the thighs.
Blood Elves, as High Elves, already have High Elf customisations. Everything they have is High Elf customisations.
Void Elves also got High Elf customisations a few years ago. It is why there is no equivalent to the Amani customisations on Trolls, Void Elves already got them!

Not enough as far as Iâm concerned. The lack of non-void hairstyles sucks also. Long majestic hair or riot.
High Elf style customisations donât mean they arenât Void Elves.
In fact, the presence of NPCs who are clearly Void Elves sporting those customisations means that these are simply lesser transformed Void Elves. Still bleed purple, still proc shadow racials. In fact there is something to be said that it is very unfair to try and use Void Elves to fulfil the High Elf fantasy. Let Void Elves be Void Elves.
In the same fashion, the Amani customisations on Darkspear donât make them any less Jungle Trolls. Itâs a courtesy at the end of the day, nothing more.

Am I the only one who wants things to stay as distinct as possible?
One freedom of customisation at a time, weâre going to end up with no identity left.
Void Elves should look like Void Elves, Blood Elves should look like Blood Elves, High Elves should not be playable, for no other reason than to piss off the most annoying part of this accursed player base.

There is always the balding options! Alternatively, light tentacles and fel spikes.
On the other hand, the high elf request is simply principle now. We were not the ones who added high elves to the alliance. We were not the ones who kept parading them around the player base for years. We were not the ones who gave the players a monkeys paw to a very clear and menial request.
Only one way for blizzard to fix their own mess.
Ideas from someone who says non sense things⌠fel spike⌠do you know we are not felblood? We are also not naarus
Fix their own mess? There is no mess. There just a group in the 4,5% playerbase (maybe 50% of that 4.5%) who are complaining for 18 years asking selfishly a thing blizzard already showed 3x it wont happen.
A childs whim is not blizzard mess
Paying a sub, even for 18y, doesnt make you have right to claim high elves. It makes you have right to play the game that devs rule and manage how they want
And they already showed 3x time that not there is no playable high elves
2007 : BE in the horde, No HE
End of legion: playable VE, no HE
Midnight : Haranirs, no HE

They have shown, every expansion that there are high elves in the alliance. And not a negligible quantity as well. That they are not playable is simply childish behaviour from the devs themselves.
They have actively fought against all their own argumentation against playable High Elves through their actions in game.

Most mentally stable blood elf player lmao
I hope they add HE just to enjoy the meltdowns.
If the same ten people show up in five separate locations at different times, are there fifty people or ten?
Ask the Void Elves. 
Yes but the point is you are trying to argue Alliance High Elves are a major part of the Alliance and that ânot a negligible qualityâ has been shown.
Which is false.
Whenever Alliance High Elves have shown up recently, it has almost always been from the same group, the Silver Covenant.
In Legion, the much quoted Elisande section? That was the Silver Covenant accompanying the Kirin Tor contingent to the attack on Suramar and they were by far the smallest group.
In BFA, when their big moment was showing up with one ballista at the makâgora, that was the same group with Vereesa.
And in Dornogal, there are a handful of Silver Covenant Mages about. Why? Because Dalaran got blown up just outside Dornogal and those are refugees.
Same group at different times and in exceptionally minor roles.
Multiple settlements, which one is at least inside a major city.
Thatâs more than multiple other races in the game. Void Elves got no settlement, Vulpera is a small caravan. Lighforged got one lowly spaceship, Magâhar few time travelers. Pandaren some explorers from a walking island, Dracthry few from a laboratory. Tauren and Dark Spear was in same if not worse situation than high elves, with them being actively hunted by their neighbouring tribes.
All in all, the population argument doesnât hold.

Horde high elves dont exist and honestly no thank you, if high elves is added make it standalone
Thatâs wrong to say, since High Elves >= Blood Elves >= Void Elves.
But the horde high elves aka blood elves are clearly not the same sect of high elves that stuck to the alliance.
Itâs funny how the very expansion that introduced playabled blood elves, also added a
- Blood elf and draenei faction anyone no matter what faction you were could join.
- A sizeable high elf settlement that was not a pile of burning ruin.
Followed by Wotlk which again added a blood elf and high elf settlement to dalaranâŚ
Blizzard killed their very on argumentation on the day they released blood elves.
I know people are playing a terminology game with the races but when I say blood elf I mean exclusively horde joined Thalassians elves who accepted the new way of life post fall of sunwell and when I say high elf I mean exclusively the exiled high elves that are either alliance or not faction aligned.
So by your terminology sure, but not by mine.
Also, the person I replied too differentiated between belf and helf on horde, makes sense to meet people where theyâre at rather then go the route of intentionally misconstrueing what they said by interpreting it with terminology the OP obviously themselves does not use
Well, even then ultimately the entire race locked to faction is a fundamentally flawed concept. Along with the class restrictions to races.
The game have done zero effort in actually segregating the various cultures so it is fully possible any race hangs out with any faction.
Not to mention that the player themselves is an enigma that breaks the norms from the average npc.
Void Elves have Telârogus and were specifically introduced as a âcrack squadâ. And at the same time they were introduced as a âcrack squadâ, Ion was confirming there was âno placeâ for Alliance High Elves to really come from.
The multiple settlements notion has long been debunked. There is a single lodge, QuelâLithien, which is a.) shared with Draenei and b.) itâs a hut. Itâs a nice hut as huts go, but it is still a hut.
Allerian Stronghold has SOME Alliance High Elves but a.) it has mostly humans and b.) that military outpost is frozen as of TBC. Do you really think they stayed there? Iâd say Allerian Stronghold has a lot less Alliance High Elves these days. Perhaps a hypothetical âExploring Outlandâ book can clear that up. We know Auric Sunchaser came home.
Theramore, confirmed small Alliance High Elf presence which was used to explain the elven units accompanying Alliance forces in Warcraft 3. Destroyed.
Dalaran. Confirmed Alliance High Elf presence under the Kirin Tor. Destroyed.
Stormwind: A very few Alliance High Elves ended up here.
As for other racesâŚdeep breathâŚ
Void Elves can recruit from other races, population issue does not apply.
Vulpera maintain multiple caravans across the waste and represent a distinct culture, clearly enough to sustain a playable race.
The Xenedar was the size of the Exodar, Botanica, Mechanaar and Arcatraz. Weâve been inside all four of those ships, and the Xenedar was the same class. Are you really going to argue that a playable race couldnât have lived within that massive vessel given we have seen what they look like elsewhere?
Magâhar Orcs exist in our timeline as well and in plentiful numbers.
Pandaren are one of the most numerous races on Azeroth.
Dracthyr had plenty of members in multiple caverns.
Tauren and Darkspear were in a bad situation. So were Gnomes. Plenty of races have been described as teetering on then brink. Even Blood Elves.
The fact you and others refuse to assimilate as you point out race after race after race that you say âthey are low in numbers tooâ is that you draw the wrong conclusion.
It is not that High Elves are in the same situation and that there is some unique malice against them being playable.
It is that Alliance High Elves are in a situation a hundred times worse than any of those other groups.
In game representation of cities is grossly down-sized. Can about multiply the size of every settlement by 10 to 100 to get an accurate of their size. Prime example, goldshire.
And while dalaran got sacked in TWW, the silver covenant have been active pretty much across the world and most likely got multiple settlements spread about now.
