    As single faction comprised almost entirely of Rangers (Hunters) and who are actually the same elves you see again and again. Those elves at the tournament are likely the same ones you see at the purge, who are the same ones you saw on the isle of thunder etc.

    Well, to be fair, the Silver Covenant isn't the only group of High Elves that aligned with the Alliance. Most have happened to die by now though.

    Most likely.

    Worgen are pretty much entirely part of the Alliance, except for the feral ones.

    The Pandaren, well, don't really know because they're a part of the lore that I like to ignore.
    Valeera is the blood elf in the rogue Order Hall who "aligned" with the Alliance because of her relations with Varian and Broll Bearmantle in the comics. Vereesa is the leader of the Silver Covenant.

    SC might be going neutral in legion since their leader is.
    so alliance are still losing high elves.

    Not really. Alterac was a city-state in its prime that relied heavily on the other nations. If I recall correctly, they only became independent after Arathor's imperialism began to wane. Being surrounded by Dalaran, Lordaeron, and Strom meant that they had verily little land for themselves. The only power they really had was that they were exploiting Alterac Fortress's position in one of the north's prime trading routes.

    Half of the Pandaren that left the Wandering Isle or Pandaria to join a faction went to the Alliance, however I am assuming an even split.

    High Elves are only a single faction group within the Alliance, the Silver Covenant, which are only really seen around the Argent Tournament and the Alliance district of Dalaran.
    And a good half of the Alliance's main force on the Isle of Thunder in Mists, its only counterpart being the Kirin Tor.

    fictional races, fictional settings, - blizzard pulls numbers out of the air every time they need to, that's what the plot pen is from.

    The answer to how many high elves, pandaren and worgen within the alliance? just enough. [no more , no less than exactly what is needed for the plot]

    Seriously, the anti-helf boners are just as bad as the pro-helf ones.

    Any races could be playable after the "you are the special snowflake...... Commander", of WoD. So from a player character perspective the actual population doesn't matter much at all and the actual population can easily be manipulated to match with whatever the story demands, so basically the question is unanswerable.
    When I was younger I used to hope bad things wouldn't happen.
    Now I just hope they're at least funny when they do.

    Alleria isn't neutral the way you put it and neither is Vareesa. A character isn't neutral just because their NPC isn't going to kill you as soon as you approach it.

    Being put into a class order hall doesn't make you lose affiliation lorewise - Vareesa is simply there to assist adventurers from different races against the Burning Legion, which is a common threat(he allegiance is actually to the king of Stormwind lorewise). Alleria being part of the same army with Turalyon that seeks to destroy the Burning Legion doesn't mean she has lost her affiliation to the Alliance either.

    Their affiliations are pretty much the same, but they will gladly work with theHorde and anyone else aswell in order to overcome a common threat.

    Alleria is part of the army of light. Which is neutral.
    Vareesa working with the people should hates with a passion. Big change.

    Fighting against a common enemy in a common army doesn't make a character lose its affiliation. The character simply shifted priorities for the time being.

    Just because Vereesa and Rexxar lost their faction-affiliation tag beside their name and don't attack players on sight, it doesn't mean they've severed their ties or affiliations.

    Blizzard simply went all in and grabbed all the characters they could in order to fill the order halls up. Lots of characters from both the Alliance and the Horde became neutral with the opposite faction for the time being, in order to face a common threat. This obviously included changing their tag to neutral.

    Refer to the battle of Mt. Hyjal for past examples of this.

    as far as Gilneas went
    1- they got their ass kicked by the forsaken and lost land until they sealed themselves for a long time behind the big ass door on the silverpin forest
    2- then, the worgen intro, let's not forget all the dead because of the feral worgens, the full conversion of the population with a 10-15% chance survival, then the forsaken raining poison & plague on their head, plus the fight to destroy enough forsaken to be able to escape thank to the night elves...

    they may have been been a full human nation nearly as strong as Stormwind (who get crushed by the horde) or Lordaeron (who went full undead), but they suffered many many loses since then, a few thousands is the most I'd count on, and a lot of them should be civilians/kids after they were saved by the nightelves. ok a few extensions later, even Anduin finally growed up some, so we can count on some of the worgen kids to become the "next gen adventurers/players"

    The Greymane Wall was built long before the Forsaken existed and wasn't built with the purpose of keeping the Forsaken out.

    Alleria has always been about her people not the alliance.
    Her people are on both sides but her home is horde.

    Vereesa almost went horde in Warcrimes. She cares more about family than faction lines

    Her people being on the Horde side now can't outshadow a lifetime spent living and fighting alongside the Alliance.

    Vereesa almost went Forsaken due to Sylvannas, but did not. Almost doing something and doing it are two different things - Jaina lmost destroyed Orgrimmar, but she didn't.

    Neutrality is a necessity for the time being, just as it was during the battle for Mt. Hyjal.

    High Elves are the equivalent of a legendary drop from vanilla, with a 0.00000001% drop rate.

    The reason she fought with the Alliance is because they were fighting orcs, and the reason she was fighting orcs was to protect your homeland. You're delusional if you would think Alleria is going to flip the bird and be on one side.

    Vereesa almost went Forsaken due to Sylvannas,
    Thank god Sylvanas reminded Vereesa that she had kids, would had hated to take any orders from Vereesa.
