Mechagnomes require a customization overhaul. They’re the one race that would get a HUGE boost of popularity if they had functional armor use on arms and legs. (With the option for non-armor limbs as they currently have.)
Assymetrical design is the HUGE perk of mechanics that Blizzard failed to capture for Mechagnomes. One robotic arm and one normal? Why not one claw arm and one normal mechanical arm? Desyncing the facial augmentations and the like. There’s also a need for new paint jobs for the mechanics, Color changes for the blue irisis. etc.
Mechagnomes need a LOT of love to match their rival Allied Race. Strictly including distinct male / female dances. Females need a new dance that isn’t a mirror of the males. NOBODY ELSE has this level of laziness in their dance. (Kul Tiran Female comes close given how badly looped it is.)
It is unfair to continue to advocate for things to bring VEs closer to look like BEs and claim that has no effect on BEs.
The question you are asking without asking and trying to dance around by saying “well gnomes have regular hair it’s not unique to BEs” or “oh well we will use Kul Tiran options to achieve the look instead” is should Blizzard continue to make VEs look like BEs via their secondary theme which does infringe on BEs visual theme.
To that I say no, obviously you are an advocate of that route, but don’t claim it has no effect on BEs.
I also want to say I have not listed a single thing I want to see for BEs in this thread for this reason.
But as someone who in the past who has both said and supported people who have said you can’t tell people not to request something, in turn you also can’t tell people not to oppose something.
Peoples dissent involves BEs so they will then be brought up as pertaining argument. And for people who work very hard for the “you can’t say we can’t request” despite most of these arguments being said to people just disagreeing, I find it odd to try to stop dissent by deeming what you know their arguments entail as now “off limits”.
Just say you want them to look like BEs, then. Dancing about and playing games just to obfuscate what you want is a bad look and, frankly, plain annoying.
You want BEs on the Alliance, fine, fair enough; but don’t pretend like it wouldn’t affect BEs. Being neutral affected the Pandaren and it’ll affect the elves, too.
Exactly, blonde hair is blonde hair, red hair is red hair, brunette is brunette, it doesn’t matter the shade or the style it still infringes on what little visual difference that Blood elves have remaining.
I def think if people are requesting options on VEs to further bring them in line with the BE visual theme it is the time and place to list dissent, yes.
