So you’d rather give a middle finger to 3% of the player base? Interesting.

Also having a reply by an elf.

I’m not too thrilled about Mechagnomes either, but % played is a terrible metric to decide playable races since it’s always going to be a zero sum game.

That is unless you want 200 unoriginal flavor of elves.

they’re giving gnomes a new skin (with less skin) and calling it a new race, when clearly it’s not. they’re just taking the… 4 letter word i’m pretty sure is not allowed on the forums.

They want something very original: Blue eyed blood elf that call themselves ‘born in the land they are not welcomed anymore’ - Quel’dorei.

Far more compelling than most AR’s.

Are you under the impression that giving Tauren antlers is game breaking?

So because i am stuck with a elf as a main and im not willing to pay so race swap mean that i should ask for more elf???

Not every elf player are hardcore elf fan.

Have they been officially announced or are people still speculating?

If the former I need to start coming up w/ Borg potato names and hope there’s enough characters.

I like Gnomes. Heck, I like mechagnomes, but unless they can be druids, there’s nothing to see here.

There’s a long list of races that should’ve come before them, one only needs to read this forum on any given day to get better suggestions.

eh, wait until its time for character model updates again. It’s gonna take decades.

Which is still a variant of human,only difference to them is they’re a bit bigger in terms of mass and look how much hate they were getting for being “fat” What were you expecting? tall fish people?

highmountain tauren are different, if they have a baby, it’ll be a highmountain, not a normal tauren. if mecha-gnomes have a baby, it’ll just be a normal gnome.

It is sad that Alliance keeps getting the shaft when it comes to races and mounts let alone quests and story lines. Alliance could use a popular new race option but instead tinker toy gnomes. It is like Blizz is trolling Alliance at this point.

Offical. 8.3 preview, PTR updating as we speak.

My gnomes are a bit suspicious of these newcomers.

I’d you are sincere you need to go back and look at how utterly ridiculous your answer is.

Basically this. Mechagnomes aren’t a race, their culture and appearance is too close to their original-selves.

Imagine in a future where humans upgrade themselves with cibernetics and we just go around saying they aren’t humans anymore, instead a new race…

How about something that is aesthetically pleasing to look at and fairs really well in most transmog gear? Trashgnomes certainly don’t fit that criteria.

This.
