For me, looking like 'attractive humans' takes something away from the Elves, makes them less interesting. If it's a fetish fest of 'attractive Elves' you're looking for, the Underdark's got just the ones for you - but mind their temperament! On a more serious note, people are entitled to like their knife ears either way, but I've seen plenty of examples of very exotically attractive Elves in the "Ayy lmao" style; it isn't a hard thing to achieve when the whole race has aesthetically chiseled features.
They live for hundreds of years, sometimes a thousand, their sense of community and mutual obligation is in their nature, they will pick up and drop a craft over a century just for the fun of it and coin is an entirely silly and frivolous concept to them when perfectly good barter exists. They almost never seek to expand beyond their borders and keep their numbers relatively the same - a large number of Elves being born at once in one place is a terrible omen that indicates there has been a good deal of death, and more yet to come.
Humans as a race have a great variety of political stances and personal expressions, and it can be generalized that most will start somewhere in the relative area of Neutral on the alignment chart. Elves straight up start at Chaotic Good, and often go somewhere within the CG-NG-TN-CN spectrum. Evil Elves exist, there's an incredible example of one in the character Elaith Craulnober (Whom I love); it's just as rare to come across outside of Drow as a beardless dwarf in a dress when you take the view of the entire race and compare it proportionately to Humans.
It may sound like I'm rambling; what I'm doing is underlining just how -different- Elves are from Humans in their cultures, beliefs and core concepts. BG2 Aerie's portrait is a fair example of an Elf - note her slanted eyes and narrow features, as she was an Avariel or Winged Elf. There are differences between a Moon Elf and a Sun Elf, the Elves aren't uniform in their tendency, but they tend to land in much the same areas.
To cap off my own terrible opinion/rant, Elves looking like prettier Humans feels watered down for mass consumption. This is a game, I understand that. It has to sell to a lot of fans, new and old, who might not have even played D&D (As much as that bends my brain). But if there's any time to offer this sort of feedback or opinion on something in game that could change, it's while the game's in early enough production that they -can- afford to change it all. That strange, ethereal, Fey-like quality they have is a charm all of its own that I think would be a shame to see missed.
