There will never be anything to figure out as long as the antagonising attitude and pride isn't stripped away. It's always going to be one point, or two points, or three points, and a constant reminder that because agreement is not achieved, then it's not possible.
I have said this quite some times in this thread. Nobody here is a wow developer, and implying that any of us have a final say or such a consequential and/or deciding factor on it is not doing more than to show pure arrogance.
High elf skins on Void elves are one thing, which has no consensus at all. But another thing is to play around it to make more points than what is actually important. Is it a good way to introduce playable High elves?
Not if it is plausible. Devs decide what is plausible, and for them Wildhammer Dwarves, or Warlords of Draenor are plausible, not some forum dwellers with an overweighted ego.
Yes, that is why it's nice to point it out.I myself see Void Elves as one group. Because that's what they are and described as. Former group of Blood Elves that delved into the Void. Nothing more, nothing less. Like you know, the population was always the "main argument" of High Elves not being playable. Why wasn't it okay that the High Elves reproduced then right? It's just being hypocritical. And that's what gets me. Turning points whenever it fits. Like you know, "no no, High Elves are such a small group, can't reproduce or recruit from Silvermoon, to now where it's "oh yeah yeah, Void Elves can recruit from all over the place no problem". It's just silly at this point.
However... To derail the conversation into pages and pages about Void elves is simply being out of the context, and the worst thing is that it has been taken into consideration just because Void elves are a form of thalassian elf, which simply misses the point entirely.

Not saying that, I said that what Kai presented is nothing more than cluster that it's only purpose is for him to make as if he has more points than what is actually there.
Agreement or disagreement on this has no use at all. Void elves are simply inconsequential to the High elf debate as long as High elves exist.I do agree that you can't really play a playable Void Elf as a High Elf, though - they don't really share in the essential divide between the High Elven exiles and the Blood Elves, they have their own cultural (and physiological) divide between themselves and their kin that's part and parcel of their story.
And High elves existence is not linked to Void elves nor Blood elves. I'ts simply a different group, and by virtue of it, talking about Void elves or Blood elves serves nothing but to derail the conversation away from the idea of playable High elves.
It also creates points out of nowhere that at the end of the day mean nothing and serve no purpose aside from making appear as if there is more than what actually is.

I also like the idea of Void elves. It's only that it's introduction and everything that has been involving them has been a total mess. I would like for everything in the game to serve a purpose and have a place within the folklore of Warcraft. If not, it is just going to be a cluster of concepts with no real feeling of being connected to the rest.
Exactly, that is why trying to push Void elves as the final solution is out of touch.High, Blood and Void Elves are three distinct flavors of Thalassian elves. That Horde players screams to high heavens that the Void Elves are a compromise for the former doesn't make it true. they are a mistake, lorewise and outside of it.
It failed to deliver the High elves. Also failed on other aspects but by simply failing to deliver the High elves it also means that it will never be enough unless they retcon the Void elves or advance their story drastically, as for making also the existing High elves part of their group as a whole.
Void elves have potential of their own, but not for High elves as things are.
I would not give too much attention to pedantic arguments. 'One character said' and 'One thing exist' isn't usually a strong argument.They added one little scripted event in Telogrus and it has nothing to do with some elves being turned. One doesn't need to became a Void Elf to master the Void, as Alleria's story on Argus and prior proved, so the presence of Blood Elves and High Elves there means nothing in regard to increased numbers - numbers which have alwas been irrelevant in WoW.
