The new models for night elves made them even less ripped.. the demon hunter ones did restore some of the definition.
However I wouldn't expect highborne models to be like that.
The art concept is ofc for the demon hunter, and the bulk fits the class lore, you expect them to be at the peak of everything they do. the new WC3 reforged gives a bigger model for the druid of the claw. I do wonder if wow did allow different size m odels within races, that we'd probably have the option to choose a very muscular night elf for druids or a normal one (representing druids of the claw)

You sound angry, especially every time you read about the night elven aspect of the nightborne, you talk about ignoring nightborne history, but to ignore the kaldorei root is ignoring their history, and failure to see who tehy are because they are allied with the horde is just being blind.
Rant if that what you want (this ist he place to do it) but at least contribute something meaningful to the topic - why do you find it cool for them to be carbon copies of blood elves? What is the value in this?
How will you distinguish this from the highborne night elves?
Also judging from you second paragraph, I'm not sure if you forget we are talking about highborne differences with nightborne, not night elven druids differences with nightborne. And I wonder whether you think druidsm only exists for night elves and that Elune dooes not exist to nightborne - if you do proof, and if you don't you can at least show me why you feel this or why you would ant this.
Just a little advise, if you rush into a topic getting angrier and angrier, you'd do well to calm down (it's only a video game), and actually read it objectively. It is not a self criticism of you, and no, I won't take your criticism of me personally.

Night elves do have many options - they have some iconic pieces, Warden, huntrest, priestess, druid - there is no iconic highborne gear sadly as the units are never shown in one type of uniform, neither is it particularly interesting when you see it.
I suspect they are gauging to see if they can get away with the very skimpy night elf sentinel/druid outfits we saw in WoT and Battle for Lordaeron opening BFA scenario.. looked great on females, looked terrible on the males - but might show too much skin for a video game. In which case the horrible classic sentinel armor might be what we get.

Rhidana It would seem wrong to give warden armor, because that's a very particular group.. The best thing they can do for Warden is give a special quest or path for night elf rogue characters to become one. Otherwise, I can't think of any other ngiht elf class or group that fits.
I've speculated so many times on what they might do. that is definitely a possibility, with the broken isles around, they can turn that into the night elf civilization zone, with Suramar already there and the y having pristine versions of all the ruins in Suramar, Azsuna and Val'sharah - leave Kalimdor for primal wild forest and fighting.. that could work. Feralas can be the one pocket of night elf civilization through the Darnassian highborne group, which can spread up to Desolace which ahs also a bunch of ruins they could repair.
