They arent exactly the most exclusive race, alliance already have high elves among their ranks, lor'themar was in talks about rejoining the alliance, so there must be a portion of elves still willing to go back, they are by far the most popular race in the game.
I really wouldnt mind seeing alliance get to play them, even if they were just silvermoon outcasts or remnants of high elves left. I mean, if the entire population of horde goblins could fit on a ship and they are a playable race, i dont see why the high elves cant be playable.
This isnt even because im alliance and just want to play pwetty elves, its because i want to kill them as horde. its because it fits lore wise, its because there are deep ties between that race and faction that many remember and hold darely, its because it would make the story interesting and now that pandas are on both factions there is precedent for dual faction races.
Of course the horde need something in return, that could just be ogres since they are a classic horde race the same as high elves are for alliance, and still exist in the horde. Again, not because i want ogres, i dont like them, thier defining traits are being fat and stupid, but i dont have a problem with seeing them in the horde
Basically id love the horde population to skew more in the direction of traditional horde races, trolls, goblins, orcs, ogres, as opposed to the 50% elf population that they have at the moment, if bleeding some off onto the alliance makes the horde feel more like the horde, then im game!
