Did anyone actually want this? We could have gotten a nubian race or anything actually new and fresh, but no we get slightly bigger rock dwarves, but hey the girl dwarves can have beards!
I would bet hard gold that this will be like some other examples one of the least played races in the game, and probably only for the good racials. Reminder that in one expansion, TBC we got both blood elves and draenai and both are still very popular today. And many other popular races are just reskins of existing ones (void elves). Blizzard really needs a boost in creativity.

No but that has never slowed Blizz down before. Why start now?

Nobody was asking for another dwarf race. Plenty of people were asking for more customization for races that currently exist. Blizz be doin Blizz things, though.

I want the option for female dark iron and bronzebeard dwarfs to have beards, not a third dwarf race that can do it. I’ll lvl one to 50 for the heritage set then delete it.

See, the funny thing is, they KNOW what players want for races. They just refuse adamantly to give them what they want.

Do you think they are just entirely disconnected from what players want, or they just don’t care and put too much time into it already?

Sometimes Blizzard stubbornly refuses to do the easy win.

I didn’t even think this would ever be an option to want or not want.
I’m happy there is another race being added. It’s a little cheesy, imo, but I suppose we can’t expect a new model each expansion. To be fair we did get that in DF.
They do be loving to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Not really, the visage form is just human female with scales slapped on, and the gecko form can’t even wear full mog lol…

Yes. Lots have wanted earthen. The fact that they female dwarves have beards is even better. More Tolkien-esk.

I, personally, welcome the beards for dwarven women. It’s been sort of a thing in a lot of fantasy settings, so it’s fun to see here.
We wouldn’t have gotten a brand new race, we’ll only get races based on existing ones. I’d have liked to see more gnome or goblin options, personally.

To answer the OP, I think there’s a handful of people that want female dwarves with beards for the “lols” but it’s yet to be seen if they’ll actually play them or if they just go back to their human and/or elf.

You misspelled Vulpera there.

I can’t say for Earthen. I do know of a couple people who would’ve been happy with beard customizations on female Dwarfs. It’s a win-win for them.
