Eh, another flavor of Dwarf. Could’ve easily just been new customization options for Bronzebeard and Dark Iron Dwarves. Kind of odd to make them a neutral race, though. Dwarves on the Horde is going to be awkward for awhile.

Until they make playable Saberon, I kind of don’t care what else is made playable at this point. Not to say I won’t make whatever, but the only thing I’d be excited for would be a tiger warrior.

I’d just like to say as pretty much an exclusive dwarf player, the new race is super exciting for me. Being able to still enjoy the race I love while experiencing the horde side of the story is a big win for me. Elf players have had this since tbc, having both nelf and belf, and later nightborne and belf, so it’s awesome to see this happen for dwarf fans. I know dwarves aren’t the most popular, and once Dark Irons got put on alliance I had given up hope, so I am just so glad this has happened finally. Thanks, Blizzard!!!

No I don’t like it cause Dwarves in Horde cities is gonna be super immersion breaking.
Not going to make one myself, but happy for those people who will.
Pretty sure they don’t. CM’s will gather feedback, but whether that feedback makes it directly to the Devs or goes through third parties first, I have no clue.
Not sure I’d use the word, ‘begging.’ There’s an interest, absolutely.
Speaking for myself, I wouldn’t like either of them for the Alliance. If we needed a neutral allied race, Sethrak would’ve been the ideal.
Why do you think we want either of those?
Pretty sure the Alliance call to arms is for Vrykul.

To be fair, we kind of stole your elves a few years back.
I can’t say I’m disappointed but I am a little underwhelmed.
I like Dwarves but I don’t really have any myself, maybe I’d make one as an alt but that’s a big maybe. I’m open to seeing how they turn out though and I am interested in what customizations they’ll get. I’m not upset over their choice of adding in Rock Dwarves, I have no strong feelings one way or the other about it really.
I guess I’m more excited for them than I was with Vulpera or Mechagnome? Only very slightly though.
I’m still holding out hope that down the line we’ll get Nerubians…and Kelfin…and Satyr…maybe one day. 
I like them, but they definitely feel lazy and I don’t like that the Horde gets them too.
The Earthen weren’t worth adding… I would have been happier with nothing. We just Dracthyr.
because leg armour works so great on Dracthyr or Mechagnomes? Give them two forms if you really have to strictly for mogging their lower half, easy. Naga ftw.
A third Dwarf race. . . how inspired. . . Naga, Mogu, Sethrak, Vrykul, etc etc all right there for the picking. Nope. . . Just make new customizations for Dwarves and call it a neutral race. I’m not upset, just disappointed at the laziness.

I just find it incredibly lazy. Out of all races they choose, we get Dwarves…for a third time.
I do wonder if they’ll get a version of Stoneform, though.
They’d better.
Dark Irons did, there’s no reason for Earthen to not have one, except to deny the most powerful racial in the game to the Horde because of Blizzard’s neverending Alliance favoritism.

The races you listed aren’t really at the top of my wishlist, but they would certainly be better than a third dwarf recolor. It makes somewhat sense for the Horde, which gets another Alliance model alongside female humans, but a third dwarf variant on the Alliance side? Oof…
Horde is owed it anyways since ve/be had been basically the same since sl anyways.
This makes it fair, and dwarves had been requested by horde anyways (although they wanted dark irons)

And they will get a kind of Dark Iron Dwarf because when you put a whole armor on these Earthen, they look like Dark Iron Dwarves so they could roleplay this race on the Horde side.
They’re cool.
I wouldn’t listen to forum requests, if I was a dev. 
These are fine requests, though. At least it ain’t high elves.
The playerbase wants “NEW CONTENT NEW RAIDS NEW M+ GOGOGOGO” they don’t care about new races all that much.

How is that fair? xD
Alliance:
- Blood Elf copy&paste without an improved model, without a city, without proper lore and without proper customization options (unlike all the other Legion races)
Horde:
- Improved night elf model with a huge city, their own zone, lots of quests, rich lore and a lot of customization options (maybe even more than their core race)
- female human model
- female worgen reskin (Dracthyr)
- soon dwarf recolor
Yep, sounds fair 
Agreed and I feel it will also open up an avenue for Horde players to request Dark Iron Dwarf and normal Dwarf customizations for Earthen Dwarves for RPing options for Horde players so us getting them is something I support very highly.
