Problem is, they are identical, the same, to the bone! Besides a differnt political standpoint, their appearence is maintained. Myabe they are little paler and skinnier (they are vegan, so it's Obvious) but, changing the look of that grp for the sake of making it playable is kind of destroying lore even further.
Cosmectic option is the only option with all this debate, we can't put the same race on other faction without hurting the other, can't change the look to make them look like high elves at all (also no nightelf model with pointy ears) The burning crusade gave us the official look on high/blood elves, the classic models were a remodel of night elf, this was done because the high/blood elf model wasn't in the game. Why would we go back to that? Besides these classic models were what highborne were suppose to look like, same race differnt sub grp within that race. Point is we can't just change the entire model for the sake of making playable.
They made nightborne playable.. what a fiasco was that .. model wise. You want that for high elves? no? give it a eye color option and close the damn discussion. You can't please everyone and lets be honest high elf fans you still believe they will ever get a offical spot in the Alliance?
