There is literally a tinker raid boss right now.

I believe that Tinkers could be available to most races, not just those you automatically think of as smart. The Goblins and Gnomes obviously should be included, but let’s consider some other races.
Draenei: The Draenei are literally aliens that flew here on a spaceship. They built that spaceship, and are quite adept at building things. They would be great races for the Tinker class to be available to.
Blood Elves: Belves may not be the first race that comes to mind when you think of a Tinker, but consider it. They heavily depend on magic for most of their work, and it would make sense for them to include that in their Tinkering. They are also known as scholars, and I believe they have the intelligence to become a Tinker.
Dwarves and Dark Iron Dwarves: Dark Iron dwarves are geniuses, renowned for their mole machines, golems, and craftsmanship. They would obviously fit right into the role of a Tinker. But, what about their cousins, the Dwarves? The Dwarves are definitely into their guns, and have a grander city than the Dark Iron Dwarves. Plus, they have spent lots of time around the Gnomes and Dark Irons, would make sense if that influenced their Tinkering.
Orcs: Orcs are infamous for their lack of intellect, short attention spans, and violent mannerisms, but, in Orgrimmar, there is an oddball or, essentially an Engineer orc. In the Engineering trainer, he tells you about how people think he can’t be an Engineer because he is an orc. Maybe there are more of these orcs? The Engineering profession is quite similar to the Tinker class idea, it would make sense if they intertwined.
Humans: Humans are based off of RL humans, the most intelligent and technologically advanced race on the planet. It would make sense if this leaked into their rather medieval way of life.
Worgen and Undead: Now you may be wondering, why bunch these two together? Simple. Because they both were once humans. Now with the Forsaken, they definitely could have more of a blight influenced theme, and the Worgen sure do like their guns.
I’m sure there are other races who could fit into the Tinker role, but these are the most obvious ones aside from the Gobs and Gnomies.
Because it’s pointless to keep brining reasons for Necromancer when Unholy is nearly the same thing.

I’ve never heard anyone talk about tinkers before BfA.

Would’ve been a perfect time to introduce a necro. What really sucks is that there probably won’t ever be a more perfect time, so the odds of it happening in general have diminished. I hope I’m wrong.
Also a Tinker would be cool, I played the Engineer (a name I greatly prefer) in Guild Wars 2 and it was one of the more interesting concepts that isn’t represented at all in this game.

Again, so what? Blizz could throw a level req and cd on literally any ability like it was nothing lol.
Opinion
There are a numerous amount of classes than span across a numerous amount of races that exist in WoW. Why is Tinkerer special again?
Sure, and we already have a profession that enables Tinkerer abilities.
There are specs out there they literally told people to reroll.
And you want them to add more? Well good luck with that but it ain’t happening
Because it didn’t have hope of becoming class until BfA. We got Mechagon and Mechagnomes and thought they would make it into a class in Shadowlands. Unfortunately it didn’t, but I have hope that it will after the time skip.
There is literally an Old God raid boss right now, should we get to play as Old Gods? What a ridiculous thing to say lol
I would put the Blame on Shadowlands. The lack of a New class really got people asking for what they want.
To my anecdotal knowledge: there’s been trending meme of an “Engineer Class” During most expansion leaks.
I prominently remember talks of an Engineer class during both Draenor and Shadowlands.
Both of which had some substantial (if false) Leaks.
I Think it is. There’s mounting evidence suggesting they’re likely at some point in the future.
You didn’t pay too much attention in High-School English class did you?
You really need to learn how to better construct an arguement.
Tinkers obviously make sense in the Warcraft universe, as we have seen both Allied an enemy NPCs doing these things for years.
There are also abilities that are reasonably within the bounds of the players grasp within the Tinker fantasy.
Your previous suggestion of a “Boar Class” doesn’t have any of this.
And for an “Old God Class” we actually have a class that uses the powers of the Old Gods. That would be priest.
You mean Shadow Priests…?
Did you just get mad and call me ridiculous because you forgot the old god spec already existed?
Its not happening. Tinker does not fit at all. Are the wierdo on MMO champion that does nothing but post tinker threads for months on end?
Imagine wanting Tinker before necromancer.
They create bombs. Which is an engineering ability. Also an ability that Survival Hunter uses.
And the only other thing they do is turn into a robot that can hit demolish, punching someone in the face really hard. Pretty sure that ability exists for other classes already, as well.
Some of Hunter abilities are the same as some of the robot bosses we see in game right now. It always felt like I was fighting against a hunter who shot rockets and bombs at me.
… that’s not even remotely the same thing. LOL You’re talking about one weapon enhancement that only works on that player, as opposed to all of the bombs, traps, repairing, etc that engineers do. If a group brings a Tinker who can do all of these things for free that benefit everyone, no one is going to make this stuff as an engineer, thereby making engineering basically obsolete.
Personally, I don’t feel that Tinker fits in with the current WoW universe. I think it’s a cheesy boss gimmick, honestly.

Ah yes, Shadow Priests and old gods are one in the same. The first post was dumb but this one is actually funny.
Not going to reply to anymore of them though, obviously no point.
Uh… Tinkers have been in Warcraft since Warcraft 3.
This game is called “World of Warcraft”
This is saying the Source Materiel got it wrong… you know that right?
I don’t want Tinker before Necromancer.
Any class we get is “After Necromancer” we already have one.
Bombs aren’t a tinker ability. But Missiles are.
as for the Mech suit that punches really hard. We don’t have any class that uses a Mech suit, do we?
None of these are Tinker abilities.
Engineering can keep it’s out of combat utilities like repair and transmog. those don’t have to go anywhere.
Those are part of Engineering.
Scopes are also a great part of Engineering. A New class that uses ranged weapons would benefit them.
I don’t see how this makes engineering obsolete at all. It literally wouldn’t lose anything.
Is it because instead of making any points you get mad and call people names? Because Shadow Priest is so canon as an Old God spec that its legion weapon was a fragment of an Old God that whispered mad heresies to the player.
That’s because BFA hardly counts as an expac, it as just more Sylvanas filler.

Classic Ad Hominem.
Just say “I don’t like Tinkers” and get on with your day please.
That’s your only real point.
