We already have three dwarf recolors; we could also have three Thalassian elves recolors.
Midnight will be an elven expansion.
Yes you said it we already have enough recolours.
Even blood elves already have one recolour so why go for another one?
No high elve fan can ever explain what we would gain through this that we don’t already have

The scattered elven tribes.
There will likely be a neutral High Elf tribe that could become Midnight’s new neutral allied race.
Ok we can gain the scattered elve tribes AND get an actual new race.
Getting playable highelve brings us nothing we don’t already have.
Or are you able to name something we can only get by making playable high elves?
Please remember blood elves are high elves they just don’t use the name anymore
Quel’Thalas will be the territory of the Midnight expansion, the high elves are elves native to Quel’Thalas.
That does NOT answer my question.
Ofcourse the high elves can and should have a presence in midnight but that alone does not give a reason to make them playable.
Again what does playable high elves would give us that we don’t already have with blood elves?
The players are already fed up with these recolours we get all the time. Half the allied races should have been customisations.
We need new races not recolours and if we actually get high elves with midnight then just cause blizzard is lazy and know they can pull it if cause there is a community of high elve fans that don’t care as long as they finally have the label “high” on there char

Blizzard is already considering adding high elves to WoW Classic, so they could also add them to WoW Retail.
The Midnight expansion (Quel’Thalas, Silvermoon, elven reunification…) would be the perfect time to add high elves.
Are you avoiding my question cause you don’t have an argument or are you just dense?
Why do we need high elves?
What would we gain with playable high elves that we don’t already have?
High and blood elves are absolutely the same thing except for the name.
So why do you need highelves when you have blood elves?
Why going for a cheap recolour of a race that already has one recolour instead of a new unique race just so you can have the label “high” on your char?
Please enlighten me. Be the one high elve fan that actually answers questions instead of evading them when you don’t have an answer otherwise all you do is spamm like a brain dead bot

You answered your question…
Blood elves = horde 
Sin’dorei are Quel’dorei with a different name. If they give a separate Quel’dorei choice, that diminishes the current sin’dorei players, who play for that high-elf fantasy, and suddenly they feel like their character is fel-tainted, even though the fel corruption has already mostly disappeared and got cleansed by Muru.
Right now, sin’dorei are very flexible in that sense that they cover both fantasies for players. And if you wanna be alliance, there are even Ren’dorei in the game, who are also High Elves, that are in a void-realm expedition basically

Blizzard could also revamp character creation to add an option to choose the racial label according to the customizations (high elf, darkfallen, man’ari, wildhammer…).
That’d be cool. That’s also a good way how they can add forrest trolls by having a separate background selection similar to games like Elder Scrolls or Baldurs Gate. Another thing they should for sure do is giving people customizable voices for their characters too. At this point we are kinda almost in wow 2 territory with these suggestions.
If they add something new, I think it should be a new skeleton, if that makes sense. I think their current way of introducing things like this feels a bit lame, especially with every new recent addition being faction neutral, etc.

Void and Blood Elves could share their customizations because it should be possible to be an Alliance Blood Elf (Elven Reunification).

If Blizzard decides to add high elves for the alliance (or neutral) and Amani trolls for the horde, that would be perfect for me because there will also be the addition of Lore, customizations, racial armor, mounts…
But but but that’s just reskins again.
And that’s then again real races not just character customisations.
As customisations it would be cool. Some skin tones hair styles and stuff like that but by god please let’s go away from doing the same races again and again just cause there is another hillbilly variant out there we desperately need as it’s own race
Let’s go for me races. Etherals saberon arakkoa accented neruber he’ll even centaurs at this point.
Just no more elves and trolls and dwarfs

Sorry for you, there are only elves and trolls in Quel’Thalas. 
And?
That does not mean they need to be the new race.
And technically we aren’t even getting one this xpac cause we had one last xpac.
Dracthyr kinda fall out of that system but hey you need dragon folk for the dragon class.
Midnight could also give us etherals cause that would also fit the story.
Blizz could also just pull a race that isn’t directly from the region but that feels like fighting against the viod to save the world.
The nerubers could also fit since they are now without a queen and free from the void influence.
The problem with the high elves is the same as with the maghar orcs.
They don’t being anything new and should just be a customisation and from a lore point there numbers are so low it would be strange to meet a ton of high elve adventurers.
And the Amani also don’t fit that good.
There forces are very low after we crumbled there empire twice and then we even got to attack there outside forces in zandalar cause not even the zandalari cared for them anymore.
Plus they are incredible hostile and it doesn’t make any sense for them to join us especially since the very elves that destroyed there kingdom and stole there land are with us.
For them it makes the most sense to aid the void if they play any role in midnight

When Blizzard adds new races, they are introduced in the story and originate from the expansion’s main territory.
Midnight = Quel’Thalas, scattered elven tribes, elven reunification…
True I fondly remember how quelthalas was the main territory of BC and how gilneas was the main territory of cata.
Oh wait that bs cause the race only has to have a connection to the story.
You will get more then enough elve content do we really need another leve race?
It’s better to go with something cool and new especially if you followe the communitys feedback on recoloured races.
