The night elves are basically the benevolent version of drow, so there you go. They obviously don't live underground (but they like the night) and they don't worship a spider deity, but there are some other similarities, mainly the dark skin and the amazon vibe.
Look! Words!
If it's not an elf, put it back on the shelf!
I want the guy who said this in here!
just kidding, I do LOVE the San'layn Elves tho. Their lore with the Blood queen vampiric race seems to be pretty cool!
Also Queen Azshara seems like a really interesting elf.
LoTR only had High Elves and Wood Elves right? no complaints there
San'layn are pretty much that.
And we don't need Snow Elves. We got something better then Snow Elves. We got the Vrykul, a much better snow/frost race.

Make light skinned/haired Blood Elf. Live in snowy region, congrats you have your snow elf. Who's probably also cold and mad at you for it.
Am I the only one that didn't even give a crap about elves until WoW? Even took me a while to discover that I liked them there. Though elves in other media still don't interest me all that much, they're just not WoW's elves.

Both Night Elves and Blood Elves had a stronger racial identity in WarCraft III.
Night Elves basically acted like Wood/Sylvian Elves by being savage, wild, untamed, and attuned with nature. And looked like Drow or Dark Elves. Giving WarCraft both archetypes.
Blood Elves were basically like Dark Elves, being sinister, vengeful, hateful, and using forbidden magics. Yet they looked like High Elves (mostly)
In my opinion, WC3 had a more interesting interpretation of these two races. Because in WoW, Night Elves are basically nature elves and Blood Elves are magic elves. And there are very little differences between them other than that at this point.

Why should there be an elf for all occasions?
WoW doesn't have snow elves, but it has snobolds!
Warlorcs of Draenorc made me quit. You can't have my stuff.
