Blizzard also moved the night elven civilization and arcane mastery to the horde via the Nightborne, while they kept Highborne on the alliance, they don't do anything, they don't build anything, and we don't even know how good the Shen'dralar are, the only thing they show for night elves is forests and druids/hunters.
Same with high elves, most high elves you see fighting for the alliance are hunters, they don't have a home of their own, they have no assets.
You may not like it, you may not agree with it, but blizzard has developed elves on the horde a lot more substantially in WoW.. the vast majority of the alliance elf stuff came before wow or out of wow.

It's token. They give you playable options, but they don't develop anything more. Void elves have no home, no assets, no infrastructure. Night elves also have no home, no cities, and no forests either.
When it comes to the alliance, blizzard develops humans. Stormwind is the alliance capital, Boralus it's second major city. All the other races function around stormwind. Because the alliance is human developed.
This is what blizzard wants. Alliance is humans 80%, and 20% the others, but most elven development, expansion, involvement is no the horde. Anyway, Darkshore warfront and high elf skins we all know are only there because Alliance fans whinged so much. If they hadn't, we both know it would not have come, meaning blizzard was not planning to develop it for you.

I'm sorry, alliance elf fans hate me, because I tell it how it is, and they don't like hearing it. They write elaborate fantasies of how amazing their elven faction is, and how it should have cities, and arcane magic, power, magical wells, magical trees and all that stuff - but the reality is that blizzard themselves has removed these things from the alliance, but has them active and pressing on on the horde.
Some horde fans can't handle it, but the days of the horde being Orcs, trolls, tauren and Goblin identity are LONG LONG gone, the horde has the power of the elves. The alliance has the humans. It's really humans vs elves. In a twist on LotR - although they may want to reconsider that stance. I actually think you guys should get an improvement on your elves. It's just sad atm, if only to stop the constant alliance elf posts crying for their lore to be shown on them.
So you see, i'm not opposed to you getting stuff, I'm just stating plainly what is fact, the elves are a horde thing now.
