other race you re thinking about are most of time expansion feature or and unique, like vulps
There are already high elves in the game, by playing Blood Elves, the website tell itself that BE are formely HE.
For thousands of years, the high elves of Quel’Thalas drew strength from the Sunwell, a magical font of arcane energies. An invasion by the undead Scourge decimated the kingdom’s population, and deprived them of the Sunwell’s might. Taking the name blood elves to commemorate their loss, for a time the people of Quel’Thalas sated their magical thirst with demonic fel energies. Once the Sunwell was restored, the blood elves decided to work to rebuild their homeland and help lead the Horde into a bold future.
even VE are an expansion feature and unique
Pandaren and Dracthyr and the fact they were formely neutral into choose your faction. All of that was an expansion feature.
Blood elves are in the horde since day 1 and no “choose your faction” feature
Yes, blood elves are high elves and void elves are blood elves.
No, neither are the high elves blizzard have added to the alliance over the years. The high elves that players have requested since their different introductions.
The same expansion which added a 2nd high elf (not blood elf) settlement to the game. Followed by an expansion which added both a central blood elf and high elf faction to the horde and alliance. One of which would get dominating presence in dalaran and by extention ties to stormwind.

Do you know that players dont decide instead of devs ?
Do you think, with intellectual honesty, that if they wanted to implement playable HE
we would have already seen them
We are pointing out the repeated hypocrisy and contradictions from the devs. Reminder, one of wows notable memes is literally a dude calling out blizzards error to their face. Same dude even got an npc in-game.
All the facts point to their implementation to be trivial. Which means the only factors holding them back is pettiness.
And we have established that the devs, unfortunately aren’t acting rationally regarding this topic. And rather clinging to a statement some made over 15 years ago.
Have to Look next time i go dalaran and If i remember😂 but so far cant remember that i have seen single one belf/velf what says high elf in game. So no high elfs till i see one what really says high elf. Before that happen they are blood or void elfs

Yes, we’re not in the driver’s seat, but it’s a similar argument to fundamentalism to suggest that nobody knows better than the people in charge.
For the most part, that may be true. Not all of us can code in C++, make art, or perform the other skills involved in making the game, but just as how someone at a restaurant can tell if a dish might not taste good or there is something off, someone playing a game can offer feedback on what could be improved.
Blizzard is at its best when it listens to its fans. Any other game company for that matter too
you re mixing leaving an IRL comment in a restaurant for feedback and 18years of harassments with multiple demonstration from official that “no we wont change the menu”
What’s represented in game are mostly Silver Covenant High Elves though. Not even Sons of Lothar ones but Silver Covenant. And they only showed up whenever Dalaran was involved. Dalaran organized the Factions to fight back against Malygos and Lich King? Silver Covenant was there. Rorhim went to Aid Theramore? Silver Covenant was there. Jaina pledged Dalaran to Alliance if course Silver Covenant was there. Just like with Legion and ultimately end if BfA, their role basically boiled down to being where Dalaran was. Now Dalaran is gone and what does Varessa do? Becomes a footnote in Arator’s Story so we can reintroduce him to the players who didn’t do Paladin’s Order Hall.
Sons of Lothar and High Elves of Quel’danil lodge in the meantime got basically nothing.
I think making an analogy to a real world example isn’t beyond the pale, especially if it’s to make a point, unless of course, you believe the consumer has no rights at all.
Paying customers have a right to petition developers about what they want. If consumers didn’t have rights, WoW would never change (which, to be fair, some people actually prefer. But the irony is that the version of WoW that hasn’t changed exists because people were clamouring for it in spite of Blizzard’s firm stance against it)
Well and so called dalaran he:s got blown up from sky in TWW so they are out of game
