Lore takes priority over absolutely everything for some reason.
That’s how we ended up with timex diapergnomes.
Yeah the lore taking prio over everything is starting to get cringe.
I understand not adding evil baby eating monsters and creatures that talk like infants as races, but the races they do add are just… meh? Where is Kyrian at?
Well… Except for letting players play with whoever the want whenever they want no matter what race they picked.
Yeah this is like the main thing they cave into. They’re adopting the Fast Food model where they just give everyone 1,000,000 options to choose from even though they can’t produce 1,000,000 quality products ever, never, ever.
Sure it does. That’s why we have playable man’ari and every race can be warlocks now.

Fast Food money churning > Lore, except when it comes to the story, then it needs to be inside of books that you need to purchase separately.
They figured out it’s a better business model to let people roll whatever race they want instead of forcing them to pay for race changes and random extra services, especially if the game is on the decline.
Nothing lore breaking about everyone being able to be warlock. Literally the only perquisite for it is the willingness to dabble in questionable magics.
The races aren’t hive minds so having the odd person here and there pick up unusual classes shouldn’t shock anyone, and that odd person may very well be the player.
As for the man’ari, the explanation for their inclusion was ok.
“Sorry about the whole intergalactic genocide thing, but Kil’jaeden made us do it”
It’s pretty clear making man’ari playable trumped lore.
Lore basically never takes priority in these things. There are a ton of lore friendly races that would have been added already if lore was the priority.

Unfortunately not everyone is going to be happy with any new race added. While I understand the frustration of them being similar, it’s also okay that not everything in game is going to be for everyone. Then there are those that spend their time compulsively posting about how terrible of a choice it is.
You’ve every right to be upset, but it’s been months now and it isn’t going to change. Take a breather, life is too short to begin with.
I’d rather get no AR, and get new wave of customization options instead.

It makes 100% sense that the Earthen are being added, they’ve been in the dang game since Uld??? I dunno, we definitely know they conceived them since the game was launched. They kinda deserve it.
But going by this logic, we need Kyrian as playable. The actual Spirit Rezzer, the angel lady who has been rezzing people since 2002 Vanilla WoW is Kyrian.
I mean. If im a dev and i can get people to buy reskinned mounts on the store… im puting minimal effort into allied races. Bc well the overall community seems to be just fine with minimal effort 
Yep, I’m not against them at all. They absolutely aren’t my first choice, but that’s okay. I’ll live and will probably make one at some point.
I have no interest in Naga, for example, but if they were added I certainly wouldn’t spend hours of my life complaining multiple times in multiple threads over something that clearly won’t change.
Some people really want to be heard, I guess.
I have no interest in Naga because they don’t work in the lore. These evil, twisted monsters and creatures don’t belong as races.
I’ll put it this way, if they existed since Vanilla but never had a capitol city, they shouldn’t be playable (with the exception of Kyrian because they aren’t physical beings in Azeroth yet).
Stromgarde and Kul’tiran humans had a capitol and they were included in the Warcraft movie for 2 seconds even though literally no one knows who they are.
I do not consider the racial divide to be outdated and/or questionable, I consider it to be one of the essential foundational pillars of WoW.
The only reason people have an issue with it is because their ‘friends’ don’t consider them important enough to play on the same faction.
The only reason Blizzard is trying to do away with it is because then they won’t have to write Alliance-centric and Horde-centric quests anymore, they can just do one set , call it a day and more money will go into the shareholder’s pockets and less flavor and replayability will be in the game.
And that does not in any way, shape or form solve the problem, it just makes players pretend Blood Elves are High Elves instead of pretending Void Elves are High Elves.
Want real High Elves 
, Thalassian elves that remained loyal to the Alliance, were never touched by fel and are labeled High Elf.
Not void elf, not blood elf; HIGH ELF !
The first half of your opinion invalidates the second half.

Two Earthen threads revolving around how much people dislike them. Welp, taking Blizzards track record into consideration, I now know what the next race is going to be. Another anthro but this one is going to use the Dwarven skeleton.

**** yeah for tuskarr!
Tuskarr talk like babies, are fat, weak (they can’t protect themselves from equally moronic Gnolls), dumb, half feral, why would anyone want them as an Allied race again, for lore reasons and not for “omg so cute” reasons?
If it’s an “omg so cute” reason, they shouldn’t be playable. We need depth, we have enough cute things in the game.
And it would fit the story and lore as they went through what’s happening now to azeroth. I agree ethereals would have been better and a race players have wanted since BC
Funny meme, you’re quite the comedian
