The Amani and the Revantusk have the same body. Both are Forest Trolls. So indeed their body would be more muscular. A skin option could work as a compromise though. https://wow.zamimg.com/uploads/screenshots/normal/300215-revantusk-village-entrance-to-revantusk-village.jpg https://wow.gamepedia.com/Revantusk_tribe
Of course Amani are more popular. But as they look the same there isn’t really a difference there. The only real new option we would need would be one green skin tone (sure there are more, but one would be enough). It wouldn’t be additional work though, because this skin already exists.
One could argue you could even use the new Sand Troll skin (I wouldn’t use it for a Forest Troll, but hey). https://wow.zamimg.com/uploads/screenshots/normal/778244-rohling-der-amani.jpg
Edit: Frankly this seems like an Alliance bias I’m sick off.
I’m glad for every Alliance fan. But I want our old races back too.
Why would they not do that? I hope it’s just an oversight; in particular because most people think of trolls as green.
Seriously, that’s just…dumb. I remember flipping through the new customization options, and I knew some things weren’t done, but…no, that’s legit silly. There should be an option for green skins, especially with the other options.
As to your edit, well…it’s not. I said ogres were tricky because I remember them being larger than Tauren. I agreed that the mok’nathal would work. /Shrug
I don’t know what rock you been living under these last couple years Dread, but horde players have been begging for a Ogre playable race for years now. It really ramped up during WoD, once everyone found out that the Ogres once had their own empire. Everyone thought for sure they were going to be one of the first allied races implemented.
That line was crossed when Blood Elves joined the Horde at all.
The Revantusk were already members of the Horde. One can argue they specifically never attacked Quel’Thalas.
The Orcs destroyed vast swaths of Quel’Thalas with dragon fire during the Second War. Alleria still hates the Horde because they destroyed her family and loved ones.
The Forsaken actually destroyed Quel’Thalas when they were the Scourge. One can make allowances for being mind controlled, but it should still be damn near impossible to see one of the monsters that cannibalized your mother/father/children, etc… and not want to destroy them.
The Zandalari were the masterminds behind the Troll Wars and actually were the reason Quel’Thalas was losing.
My point here is, Forest Trolls becoming playable in the Horde, even Amani from Zul’Aman, probably won’t be a detriment. Blood Elves got over all the reasons to want to destroy the Horde long ago. You’ve even got them as tourists in Zandalar, cringe-worthy as it is.
Does he? It’s been a while since I quested through the Hinterlands on a Horde character. Well, even if that’s the case he didn’t necessarily attack Quel’Thalas. He could’ve been fighting Farstriders in other parts of the Eastern Kingdoms for the Horde.
(Edit): Nevermind, just checked her WoWPedia page, she moved to the Hinterlands after the war, but that does make it seem like she could be an exception almost.
My bad I meant to write Elder Torntusk, mixed them up becasue of the languages (they gave Primal even a (additional) name in some places in Europe, for whatever reason).
The Reventusk fought in the Hinterlands, that’s true. Part of their lore from the Troll compendium was that they fought not only in the Hinterlands and only returned after the war was finished. Yes I know it’s no longer canon. http://web.archive.org/web/20101107211130/http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/story/troll/foresttribes.html#revantusk
Zul’jin is also still revered as a hero by the Revantusk (It was always a bit weird, they never learned about his dead and it seems never to been addressed).
So you could be right that they didn’t fight in Quel’thalas themselves (I think at least some would have though). But they were a part of the conflict and are now part of the Horde and it seems to work.
I would not add Ethereals to the Alliance, especially after adding the Void Elves.
One will completely overshadow the other in a coming cosmic expansion when we have to deal with the Void.
The roster of who should be fighting against the Void is getting pretty packed and it’s packed with a lot of Alliance.
