I entirely do not care about the Earthern. People keep saying new=bad and look at the low playercount but fat human and diapergnome are nearly 10 years old now and they’re more unpopular so just get over them being the new thing and let them become irrelevant.
ok now THAT is an idea. what if blizz made them as tall as, say, humans? that could have been more interesting. they’re too much like regular ol’ dwarves— they need to be more bombastic in appearance to compete. the wire beard should have been wilder! their skin rockier! taller! D:
If that robot dwarven chick thanks my paladin one more time and says she wants to have a drink with me at the local tavern, I’m going to go deus vult on her.
Think the problem, at least for the high end crowd, was that they didnt get another variant of the cleanse racial. As is they dont look any better then regular dwarves, their fancy armor can be worn by regular dwarves and their racials are worse then regular dwarves.
If they had at least the racial all the horde players that rerolled dwarf for prog could go back to their home cities/faction and story line while still getting the benefits. Probably would have made them pretty popular at least for them.
