they shouldâve been added to ally side when vulp were added to horde side

I think, I really really think they were supposed to be an Alliance allied race and the mechagnomes were just plan B.
But they were not able to do a more distinguible female, which I find funny since almost no one is able to recognize Fem/Male Vulpera apart when in full gear.
I think they should have gone Alliance, like the HM Tauren went Horde even though Alliance helped them too.

I do think the sethrak was a planned race or potential AR candidate race at one time in development, but they ran out of time or changed their minds. I donât think the vulpera or mechagnomes took their spot though as Iâm pretty sure they was already decided on before we got open alpha/beta.

I still think and hope we could get Sethrak sometime in Shadowlands. Perhaps after. There is lore with Sethraliss to make this happen.
And well. Iâm just stubborn and passionate.

They 100% should, unfortunately Blizzard will not put in the work.
They just wanted recolor races for easy work

No, naga should be the first sneky snek playable race.
Think how cool Sethrak wouldâve been, amazing.
Blizzard went Vulpera because the share the same model as Gonlin, easy addition.
High mountain Tauren is the same as Tauren and same goes for Draenei. Waisted slots.

Never say never. Put in an in game suggestion for them if you want them! Under the help tab.
And there is a lot of work done to them.
They can still be a possibility. Like I said there is room in SLâs to possibly implement them through their Loa Sethraliss and the deceased keepers Sulthis and Serrik. Sulthis could be a member of one of the covenants and Serrik died more recently so he would have gone to the Maw.
Then there is the weird thing about how Sethraliss was reborn. With an anima shortage, why was she chosen to go back? Perhaps there is a purpose there. There could be strong ties with Ardenweald and Sethrak.
This is all speculation on my part mind you but it has potential.
Good thing naga arenât snakes.

I really hope they added as a playable race. Like why do we need mec gnomes for anyway iâm not saying there bad or anything itâs just random to me that all. That and i really love the sethrak design and the area their in, I hope they get in shadowlands.

No legs? Or using some artifice that makes them have legs, making them stop being naga? Or something even more stupid, like making them go back to being elves?
Nagas are an antagonistic race. And they could only exist in the Horde. What will ally get? Other gnome or human with Dumbo ears?
They could work like the pandaren, and be like a mercenary race for both sides depends on the playerâs choice.

They could.
If you want them you could put in an in game suggestion. Itâs under the Help tab! Itâs there for a reason and another voice would hardly hurt. 
And since this thread was kinda necroâd (as much as I love the support), you can also discuss and share your support with us here:

I donât think Sethârak will ever be playable. Seems like one of those lost cause dreams people really got sucked into.
Naga as they are, no legs and just make them not wear boots & leg armour just like mechagnomes or maybe make the leg armour as like a skirt. Considering both there leaders illidan & ashara have been closer to the alliance iâd imagine they go to the alliance or better yet neutral. Ogre could be a cool horde counterpart.

You tell âem!
This ladyâs been dreaming of playable snek for 3 years.
Not to mention shouting to the heavens/forums about them.

Troggs for the Alliance!
At first I considered them an abomination, a snake with limbs is by definition not a snake. Mutants aside there are no snakes with limbs, you might say itâs their defining feature. So they grated. But the more I see them the more that disgust has worn off, I mean did Dreamquest of Unknown Kadath make any more sense? So I see them as just another vulpera, feared and loathed in the previews, accepted by release and possibly played by 9.0. At least thatâs my timeline.

This is why I call them serpentine. Snakelike. Aside from the limbs everything else is spot on. Limbs just make them humanoid. They donât have eyelids and have no external ears. Theyâre perfectly sneky. I love them.
There are lizards that have no legs. But they have eyelids and external ears. And can also regrow their tail.
If they become playable I would think sometime in the middle or end of Shadowlands.

Yeah most serpent people (like the indian Naga, yes WoW got the name from them) didnât have limbs (or at most had two I think). If this race had been giant snakes in this game, I donât know how theyâd have animated it (though zandalari forms prove you can customize the body of anything) it might have been my favorite. For what it is, a fantasy creature not bound by science, it just doesnât look as bad as I first thought. They managed to make their limbs and bodies long so they still do look somewhat serpentine.
If I could learn to accept and even one day play vulpera I could do the same for these guys. I like weird races, even if they arenât the exact weird races Iâd pick. Personally I want playable Makrura with pierced shells enhancements and talismans instead of armor. Any creature in this game could be cool if done right.
Iâd kind of like to see a third mini-faction for âcreeps,â Maybe murlocs would be the poster race. It would let you go into zones where the enemies are controlled by other players. Explore odd lore like the makrura city beneath the ocean or murloc politics. It would be for fun, like a mini-game only not so cheesy and poorly done. I think EQ did something like that (let you use a dragon maybe?) I never got to try it but was always enamored of the idea as someone whose first D&D character was adopted out of the monster manual.
