I imagine the broken would be as popular as ogres would be.
Both ugly, long time somewhat friends of a faction.
You seem to be under the delusional impression thst claiming factual information without facts makes your statement of “no one will play them” correct.
Imagine thinking every person that plays the game shares this opinion.
There’s literally a second thread up about this now, due to the Man’ari questline.

i’d prefer they just be an alternate skin for Draenei, but they’d probly add em as an “allied race”
Also they planning on giving DH to all races.
Harpies are the next playable race.
It is not incorrect.
Rig =/= model
You cannot simply add Broken as a skin. They’re different models. Just like you cannot add Vulpera as a skin to Goblins, despite sharing the same rig. Guess what they did with these? They became an allied race.
Yes Please very much. Seriously been wanting Krokul for a very long time now and since now the Draenei in General have 3 Versions of them like the Regular Draeneis, Lightforged, and Eredar/Man’aris. I hope Broken/krokul finally becomes playable. Been wanting to be a Broken Draenei Shaman, Rogue, and etc since Warcraft 3 and TBC.

We have many difference between the Broken model and the Draenei model:
- Not the same size. Male Broken are smaller than the Male Draenei
- Flat nose for Broken vs “normal nose” for Draenei
- Not the same face. Broken have a more flatter face than the Draenei
- Only three fingers by hand for Broken against five fingers by hand for Draenei
- Often tentacles on the back for the male Broken and nothing on the back for Draenei
- Hairstyles with “tentacles” for Broken vs “normal hairstyles” for Draenei
- Almost always (or always) without horns vs two horns for Draenei
- No tail for Broken vs tail for Draenei
- Totally different culture between the Broken and the Draenei

Thanks for your post! All the more reason to make them a separate allied race. <3

The Broken are a skin, on the Draenei model/rig. Their only differences are overlay skin textures, face, and back tentacles, all of which require very little work comparatively to Goblin and Vulpera, absolutely delusional comparison on your end.
I don’t know why you think this is a discussion my guy, they’re not gonna make a 3rd clone as a new race, they’re going to make it customization, either way you get what you want so the outrage on your end is hilarious.
None, of which is substaintial rig work that merrits an entire seperate playable race, sorry.
As cute and put-together as your post is, all of that is customization for draenei, they literally gave void elves a tentacle toogle, same concept here, the rig is still draenei, all their animations combat or otherwise, are the same as our draenei.

They are already ready, no need to do a big work on it and yes this race merits a seperate race. 
No again. If Kul Tiran are a thing, it’s because the game can’t manage the different corpulences and shapes. If they can so the Kul Tiran will be a customization for Humans. Same thing for Forest Trolls, we can’t get them because of their bulky body for the males. Of course we could get Forest Trolls as customization but for now we have nothing.
Darfallen, Man’ari Eredar, Wildhammer Dwarves, Dragonmaw Orcs, Fel Orcs, Leper Gnomes, Frostborn Dwarves and Grimtotem Tauren are customizations BECAUSE THEY EXACTLY HAVE THE SAME MODEL. 
Broken are too different physically to be a customization for Draenei even if they use the Draenei model. The models don’t exactly match between them. 
Bliz knows Broken are asked since BC and they won’t be added as customization for sure because the game can’t manage the different corpulences. So Bliz will release them as separate race because of this. If not so they won’t be Broken as race except if they change how work the different corpulences and shapes.

Oh my God, tell me you know nothing about in game models/rigs without telling me you know nothing about in game models/rigs.
First of all, no, Broken DO NOT use the Draenei rig (a rig is the “skeleton”, the “bones” of which are then linked to certain animations). You’re thinking of the Draenor Krokul, whose rig is based on the male Draenei, yes. Traditional Broken actually use the Tauren rig.
They do not share the same model (the 3D appearance they have - there are clearly, evident modelling differences between Broken, Krokul and Draenei). If they do not share the same model, you cannot use the same skin (a file that contains graphic information or samples of the skin and hair color, underwear, facial expressions, eye color, jewelry, etc.). I mean sure, you can link a Krokul skin to a Draenei model, but the result would look like a Halloween monster, or a terrifying clown.
This is why they were able to give Blood elf and dark ranger customizations to void elves, because void elves and blood elves not only share the same rig, they also have the same model. They were NOT able to give Nightborne the dark ranger customizations implemented on night elves PRECISELY because they do NOT share the same model.

So not only do you want Broken, you want specific broken with an ancient model from back in BC.
You’re essentially asking for the Tauren model with an ugly draenei paint over it.
Blizzard literally remade broken in legion with the correct model that leaves them open for broken customization on draenei, but you’re living in the delusion that you think they’re going to remake the entire draenei model around the Tauren rig and release it as the 3rd draenei clone and actually think this is a possibility.
Not gonna happen when customization gives you the exact thing you’re crying for and is a hundred times less effort for the same result on blizzards end.
Good luck going forward with everything I mean, poor thing. 
The models you linked are literally Draenei models with broken paint over them, do you not play the game? Do you not recognize the animations as draenei on the examples you gave?
Essentially, you two are mentally not in WoW and really in a fantasy where you think this obvious customization pass that will happen for draenei with broken parts and wanna turn it into using the tauren model for a clone race that will be as unpopular as Mechagnomes and Kul Tirans.
There’s no explaining yourselves out of this, you actually, believe not only that there’s a chance but its merrited .
Wooo, this has been fun, haven’t dealt with the insanity of forum trolls in a minute, ill be sure to book mark this for when they inevitably give us broken customization on draenei. 
You lost this when they added LF draenei as the AR for draenei, they’re not, doing it again for an even uglier and less interesting draenei variant.
WoW US forum isn’t all the community. Please don’t forget to check WoW EU forum, mmochampion, reddit, twitter and other forums before saying that. Broken are asking for a long time now and you can see it several times on reddit.
But Mechagnomes and Kul Tirans are in the game and players play them. It doesn’t mean Bliz doesn’t release another race like this for the Alliance or the Horde. We only are spectators. You speak about customization because it’s in vogue recently.
Don’t forget some players want to play Murlocs, Earthen, Gnolls, Leper gnomes (Horde), Hozen and Quilboar too so it could happen one day if Bliz want to do it.
It’s your right we will see what happen for them but I’m pretty confident about this.
We lost nothing because Bliz will have the final word about this. Not us. 
It seems to be a personal opinion from yourself. I can understand you find them ugly and you don’t want to play them. But based on you personal opinion doesn’t mean we can’t get them as playable race. As I said it, we only are spectators and Bliz will have the final word. Even if you tell us isn’t totally false, as long as the game can’t manage the different corpulences and shapes, we won’t have Broken as customization for Draenei. Same thing if they don’t want to give us the Forest Troll as customization for Trolls.
With that have a nice day.

Never have I said such a thing. If you can’t counter argue someone, you don’t need to make up strawman arguments, it only makes you look bad.
All I want is playable Broken, I don’t give a hoot if it’s an allied race, a core race or body type #3/4 for Draenei. They can’t be a “customization” as you say simply because it’s not possible in technical terms.
Period. If you can’t understand that, I can’t do much, I’m afraid.
Thanks for bumping my thread I guess.

They are not popular, that’s a fact. Otherwise I wouldn’t just see humans, high elves and female draeneis on Alliance all the time. The Alliance has no diversity, let’s face it.

I made my own Broken revamp including females with their own voiceovers. You can find a little showcase of it on youtube “the broken: custom revamp”
