Are you saying that Worgen completely abide by traditional Werewolf folklore? Why don’t they run on 3 legs with the 4th sticking out the back to mimic a tail then? Why don’t they have adverse reactions to silver? Why can’t they fully transform into a wolf form?
The thing is, there are actually many, many, many different Werewolf folklore tales. In some of those Werewolves even actually do have tails. If Worgen have to abide by Werewolf folklore (because they “literally are [werewolves]”) at which point do we choose what folklore to follow and what to not follow? Or, as I said, are Worgen aren’t really not Werewolves at all, but they are their own thing, only inspired heavily by Werewolves and thus not beholden to any strict definitions or traits?
Oh wait no! You couldn’t even remember his name until I used it. You had to call him “arch mage” instead. Any halfwit can hit control F and see who actually used the name first.
Nice self own.
When you have to resort to provable falsehood as a retort, you probably should have taken your own advice.
With the new race having a tail and being built somewhat on the Worgen skeleton as well as the new Gnolls having tails and being based again on Worgen skeleton rig not to mention someone found on a PTR where Worgens had a hole right where a tail should be and last in alpha they did have tails I think it is only time we get our optional tails.
If you present the community with an idea or something you want, some people will do everything in their power to make sure it never becomes a reality.
It’s not even necessarily that they don’t want the thing, they just don’t want you to have it.
It is a desired customization. Certain people, most of whom don’t even play worgen, don’t want it. They use tails being removed from a book as justification, often from their female night elf druid (an explicit retcon), to say it is anti-lore. In spite of the many retcons in Warcraft’s history, they still somehow manage to be strict adherents to lore and any bending perceived or real really gets a reaction. I think there is also some RP realm drama motivating a certain faction of them as well.
