    How about no?

    Void elves is what you are gonna get cause blizz wanted actual differences between the elf races.

    High elves is never gonna happen and we all know its never gonna happen cause is been said countless, countless, countless, countless TIMES!!!!!

    They could learn from Allaria who taught them how to change back, there, it's all stupid but cmon like is this really that much of a problem when looking at the other plot holes, like bringing back a corpse turned to ash by dragons kind of a plot hole?

    Void elves that can only transform when out of combat back while still having voices in their heads telling them to kill everything is a pretty big difference.

    I know that it was, but it still didn't stop the annoying demand, and Blizz having to say the same thing over and over and over, it will satisfy both sides.

    lol there is no high elf debacle.

    Horde has high elves, alliance has a faction of space emo high elves. Everyone has high elves.

    Two wrongs don't make a right. And the issue isn't even one of Lore. It's one of Blizzard not wanting the same race being playable on both factions.
    Cause High Elves are Blood Elves. And the Horde has playable High Elves.

    At this point Blizzard should stop responding to something they've answered multiple times. Unless there are changes to announce, they shouldn't address Alliance high elves again.

    It actually wouldn't, bc it ignores the entire issue of High Elves. It isn't that Blizz hates HEs, it's that they don't want them playable on the Alliance. That would be like the Horde getting Arathi Humans, bc they're so "politically different". What would truly end this would be to give BE characters an option for blue eyes. Then people can have that aesthetic, but its inline w/ Blizzard's philosophy on how they want the story/game to go. Basically the only way to truly cripple legitimate demand for HEs, is to destroy them lorewise (by death or improving relations w/ BEs) or to give any defining trait they have to BEs.

    It'd piss people off, but I'm sure the majority of players would be happier the discussion is over.

    Alleria had prior training with Locus-walker and consumed the heart of a Void corrupt fallen Naruu. The Elves were forcefully changed into void elves via ritual with no prior training and thus were corrupted. They need no other form.
    Well since the lore will never be vastly improved, I failed to see how it could hurt anything, it would be all satisfactory for everybody, nobody is gonna give a shit about the void elves new training to change back appearce only, look at the Worgen, the player got infected and turned and five seconds later he could change back to a human form, no complaints there from anybody.

    Humans were a playable Alliance race. So Alliance playable race looking like Alliance playable race isn't the same issue.

    No. Having two races that are too similar on opposite factions is something Blizzard doesn’t want. It is why the Void Elves look the way they do. Even the Nightborne have been given plenty of differences from their NE skeleton.

    They are too similar in appearance only, a temporary appearance.

    Is a terminator to similar to human charachters because he has an outlying appearance of a human?

    The whole point of void elves was to give the alliance something close to high elves, but a bit different thematically and visually.

    Giving them normal high elf options defeats the purpose. Worgen work because humans are already on the Alliance.

    That's because Worgens change back into humans--which are an Alliance race. Worgens are also canonically humans/bastard druids (ignoring the NEs). That is entirely different from VEs reverting into a form that belongs to a race of an opposing faction. That's why this is an issue in the first place and why VEs were made instead.

    Alleria was a vastly different scenario. Void Elves were partially transformed into etherals while Alleria had training in the void prior and absorbed a dark naaru.

    What? That isn't relevant for so many reasons...
    Firstly - they weren't a "playable race" - they had archers in the human faction.
    Secondly - not the same games...at all.
    Thirdly - They weren't trainable/playable on both orcs and humans at the same time. Which was the initial point.

    So were the High Elves in Warcraft 2 and 3. Playable units on the Alliance faction
    The high elf units were on the 'human' faction in WC 3 but Quel'thelas was not part of the Alliance in Reign of Chaos, and Kael'thas' alliance with Garithos ended with Garithos trying to get them all killed, and then trying to execute them for allying with naga rather than letting Garithos get them killed.

    Then in BC they joined the horde because Sylvanas offered them genuine aid while the Alliance spied on them.

    Considering Quel'thelas left the Alliance after the second war and only briefly worked with Garithos after the third, they've been with the horde longer than they were ever worth the Alliance. And even their relationship to Dalaran was ruined by Jaina's overreaction to the Sunreaver incident and Dalaran has gone neutral again anyway apparantly.

    The ones with no identity of their own that only really show up to be salty about blood elves or serve as foils to them? Who really don't even serve that purpose anymore because post BC blood elves lost their edge anyway?
