No one said they were elven

To be clear I am not calling them elves, but their visage is half-elven,
She’s just ragebaiting.

”We don’t want another elf race! But we want this specific elf race!”. Argument to this would be that people have asked for it for years.
My question is again, what race should horde get? (Not Twilight Hammer lol) Pretty unfair to have one less race. And i don’t really think ogres works gameplay speaking (transmogs and doesnt fit Midnight) and with how big they are. (Complaint back then with how big taurens were)
Was there a single time when one faction received a race and the other did not? Parity is part of the game’s design. Were High Elves to be added, it doesn’t mean that the Horde wouldn’t get a race of its own. Why are you raising all these non-issues and thinking they’re smart?

Nothing but Elf and Gnome ears for Orcs.
If they really would go and add same elf again as differend race quess then they could add original Orc or troll again to horde side what just says what ever orc or trolli clan. What clan? think thats another thing to start argue next
Blizz is happy no need add any of these at next coming couple decades. They now fight about is it orc or troll and what clan

Here’s the thing though. To reach proper parity the race Horde receives should be a political splinter of the Alliance race. Otherwise you’re just turning one of Horde’s core race Neutral while Horde gets the fresh new race and that… Would result in a ton of angry Alliance fans.
And sadly I’d say there’s enough people from various sides and enough movement based on US forums that advocate that SM should go Neutral or rejoin alliance. Compared to that I have to admit your demands are close to reasonable.
What are you even yapping about. You answered my comment but not my question
Not adding high elfs as a seperate race is a non-issue yet here we are. Not trying to be smart in the slightest. Having a discussion. Maybe you should engage in that.
Guess you’ll just have to deal with Silvermoon becoming accessible to Alliance long-term. And not only that, but the Draenei, Void Elves and High Elves residing in it from this point onwards while remaining explictly Alliance.
I’m sorry your entire personality revolves around being a welfare system for the Horde.

The Arathi are an odd bunch. Is it that some are Elves, or is it that their blood is now so mixed that some strongly favour the Elven side and others present as more Human? I don’t know if the term half thalassian really applies here.
Are you absolutely sure they have no Drust in them? Do you have a source ruling it out? The Drust were a type of Vrykul and so Vrykul are predecessors of Humans, so we know there would be a compatability there. It wouldn’t be too hard to imagine some intermingling leading to the large Kul Tirans we see today. Nor is it too hard imagine those large Kul Tirans intermarrying with Humans on the mainland, leading to that type of Human arising both in the Eastern Kingdoms and among the Arathi.
Still, I don’t reall think that works whatever way you try and portray it and I am not going to die in ditch over the Drust theory. The Kul Tirans exist within the Alliance rather than the Horde, which is a major factor that breaks the parallel you are trying to establish with Alliance High Elves. They take nothing away from the Alliance, i.e. the monopoly on playing Humans. Alliance High Elves duplicate a core Horde race, that is why they didn’t happen, weren’t announced for Midnight and aren’t happening at all.
Void Elves are Sin’dorei Rebels who only left the Horde because they had to.
Void Elves can have blonde hair and pale skin, like the typical Blood Elf can.
The duplication already happened.

Talk about mental gymnastics and hoops that you’re going through to support your headcanon. This is entering olympics levels.
I’m not even going to get to how out of touch with the game’s lore everything you’ve written is in terms of a timeline. But the thought of the Arathi being not only Elven-blooded but also Vrykul-blooded somehow is funny.
But no. At no point was it hinted that they have a single bit of Drust in them. It has been asked at a previous Blizzcon, and the answer provided was that they just wanted to add more body types for Humans. Nothing more, nothing less.
You earned a block for reminding me how bad-faith you are, though. 
Behold, the Void Elven Demon Hunter that’s distinguishable from a Blood Elven one. (The only thing I messed up was giving him a High Elven, blue-colored decoration on his beard.)

that hair is void elf hair. it is easily distinguishable from the similar yet different blood elf hair by the hair line and that it is wavy. and if i recall correctly it should have a oddly missing piece in the ponytail where in teh tentacle version a tentacle would be.

I don’t understand why people want High Elves in this new Silvermoon when it doesn’t fit their theme in anyway, shape or form now.
It doesn’t match the Quel’dorei thing in the days of Sylvanas and Lireesa being the respective Ranger Generals or when Anasterian was High King.
We’ve got Horde Banners and Horde Sin’dorei ships dotted everywhere
Warlocks and Demon Hunters have their own massive section within the city
The High Elf Pilgrims during 2010 are nowhere to be found because they were just absorbed into Blood Elf society and that’s the crux of this. High Elves get absorbed into Blood Elf society - it’s never the other way round, nor should it be because Blood Elves are the majority of Thalassians and a core playable race within the Horde.
Silverglade Refuge is the correct approach. I personally would have preferred Shandaral City, combining ancient Highborne and current High Elf structures, but beggars can’t be choosers, but Silverglade and Windrunner Village is where we should be looking.
Can we all please forget Silvermoon. It’s a Blood Elf city, open to the Alliance as guests, with 1/3 still strictly Horde-only.

2/3rd opened for guests. Damn you got yourself an amazing deal.
