Here’s the Mechagnome Megathread from the previous forum, posted almost 1 year ago today:
It went all of 5 pages. Most upvoted post within:
"Let’s take a moment to appreciate how the only people that supposedly “want” this are Horde players who in reality just want to see the Alliance mad.
Joke’s on you, most Alliance players already know Blizz will treat us like crap regardless."
TLDR: We told you 1 year ago exactly how much we wanted Mechagnomes. We hated them then, we still hate them now. Thank you for listening.

It still seems like it’s basically just 5 people that want them. Look at the backlash.

I made a post in the Mechagnome discussion thread asking for them not to happen, and it received more likes than the original post.

Honestly any excitement I could have felt for this patch is completely soured by trash gnomes.
I knew they were coming, deep down, but it’s still just so disappointing.

I can’t believe it, but I actually would have preferred high elves over this race. I hate high elves, but they still would have been better.

Well since none of you want the new race, at least there will be less whining about BFA being alt unfriendly.

Well, we’ll probably all be too busy rolling Vulpera… so we’ll get to complain about that too.

“but you’re supposed to do what i say Blizzard” thats what i read when looking at your OP. you got new customization options be happy quit making it a competition its not one, grow up and stop throwing a tantrum like my 2 year old.

Yeah, a smart person would probably have a different takeaway.
Less of: “Do this because I want you to Blizzard”
More of: “Hey someone brought this idea up a year ago and most people who saw it seemed to hate it. Maybe we… shouldn’t do it.” But instead, they do it… lo and behold, the vast majority still hate it. Shocker.
Amazing how that works.

whats your definition of most people?
because i bet you have 0 numbers or statistics to back up this claim everything you state here is sill just YOUR opinion. You dont know how many people wanted the new customization options. So unless you have anything but some anecdotal evidence from some thread you commented in quit crying about more customization options for people

The factions may be coming together, but PVP will survive thanks to mechagnomes alone.

If you guys hadn’t lit the vulpera on fire, maybe they could have been a neutral allied race.
You don’t speak for me. I requested them, and numerous times at that.

Oh wow, look, another Horde player who likes Mechagnomes and will passionately fight with Alliance player over how cool they are.

Someone’s salty, I hear the mechagnomes can remove that function so nothing will rust!

Gnomes are one of the few Alliance races I like, I am very happy to have our Mechagon cousins joining.

Definitely not. Just means I don’t have to worry about whether or not to give Blizzard a stack of cash for race changes.
