They were only described as that in a non-canon table-top rpg.
Every other source anyone has ever provided me has not included any reference to their skin tones.
Sure, but the Horde accepting a few is hardly a stretch, given how the horde operates, and the Zandalari.
No lore issue is caused by this and its reasonable.
Few things. No it doesn’t.
The green of the orcs has been stated to eventually leave them by blizzard.
The green eyes of blood elves was also said would dissipate over time with the new Sunwell.
A Sunwell that is half arcane and holy energies.
Thus gold and blue eyes.
You cling to that.
You’re just wrong unless you have some lore that actually makes any of these new options incorrect.
You’re views are not supported by lore.
I’ll never grasp how you all think these things for no reason.
All that said worgen should be allowed optional tails. Nothing in the lore says they couldn’t.

I was just about to reply to that in a similar fashion, but you did it in a much better way, kudos.
But anyhow, give the wolves there tails.

60+ hours later and power finally came back from the cold. 
Was finally able to send in a audio question just in time. Today if the final day to submit to the Q&A. Let’s finally get a answer on those tails!

Edit: rip. Guess I sent it right at the cut off when the power came back. Can’t send in anymore questions. Luckily power came on just in time last night.

If you don’t care about lore enough and just fill in gaps and flaws with your head Canon fine but don’t pretend your head Canon is real nor make others to be fine with it

What head canon?
Find me lore and statements that actually make those things incorrect.
You won’t. It’s your head canon that these things don’t fit.

You are correct there is no lore being broken. Considering there is no lore that states Worgen cannot have tails.
Also when it comes to Blood Elves and green eyes. In two rounds of ask the devs they were asked about it. In both rounds we were told that the fel taint wears off. It takes a while but it wears off. So I fail to see were blue eyes breaks any form of lore. Just like tails doesn’t don’t break lore.

Aye. They’ve also said the orcs will one day lose the green taint.
Worgen need more things and it flabbergasts me when folk try to claim there is any lore saying it shouldn’t be. Lol

by your logic there is nothing saying orcs AREN’T made out of spaghettis
Trolls never had DKs before Wrath but what are you playing now? The ‘they never had’ argument fails, even from a lore perspective, when you realize new lore can be added.
Now you’re just being silly and you know it. You have no logical way to oppose his points that shot yours down, so just admit defeat gracefully and walk away.

if you honestly think “well sand trolls probably joined” was any sound logic or backed by any sort of lore…i don’t know what to say. simply saying there is nothing saying X isn’t true though it’s never been seen isn’t any sort of sound argument, are we to believe they kept the black elves locked up in silvermoon? THAT’S the bigger logical jump
From a lore perspective
DK as a “class” is something you can copy and paste onto any sentient biological creature with some exceptions (demons, faceless ones). That lore was already established.
For tails, we have had worgen since the beginning of the game, and every one of them have been without tails.
Personally, I don’t really care if they have tails. I think it’s a touch silly, but it doesn’t break the game
I made a funny discovery. The Hearthstone card has his tail hidden by the golden boarder rofl. Can just barely see it peeking out by a pixel where the tail tip is.

If Hearthstone can get a tailed worgen, so can WoW. Quite a few prominent lore nerds such as Nobble have said that there is nothing actually preventing them from having tails.

The easy solution? Just copy the pact form tail on to the worgen form itself.

You’re ignoring the context of the point. Your point was ‘it wasn’t there so can’t be,’ which the DK class, or any of the new races, proves false. DK may be a little easier to explain due to it being added onto a race - oh wait! That’s exactly what the worgen curse is. An addition to the Gilneans by magical druidic means (magic curse).
Yes, they have. And Ion already stated that we shouldn’t be tied to a design choice over a decade old when it makes sense for something or makes the fans of something happy. And again, new lore is not hard to implement to justify why something is added when it wasn’t there before. Like a blessing from the source of the worgen form, Goldrinn. Who is already interacted with in a worgen-only questline (heritage quest).
Sorry if I’m coming off as a bit aggressive, I’m just getting so tired of the ‘they never had it before’ argument when it’s so easy to dismiss and I’ve repeated how easily it can be given reason several times already.

Worgen shouldn’t have tails

I’d like to have a tail please. Maybe even give it a bit of a swish as I lurk in stealth ready to jump out and rip something’s face off.
Okay why? Unless this is a Lore alt/groupie then nevermind.

No worries, no aggression here! I totally get you.
Before Wrath, we had DKs in lore. Obviously, the different DK generations are not the same. But before the 3rd gen DKs, it wouldn’t be lore breaking to have a troll (or any race) be a DK, since the key ingredient was “a corpse” instead of a specific corpse.
While it wasn’t there in view, it is theoretically possible in lore.
For tails, I totally agree (and love) Ion’s point about not being bound by past design choices. I could think of several ways Tailed worgen could be written into the lore to fir both past and present (could even use generations like with DKs). I’m mostly in the “no tail” camp just because there currently aren’t any, not because there shouldn’t be.
If Blizz announce tails tomorrow, I’ll switch sides! WoW lore is determined by them, and if they saw puppy people get tails, then I’m for it

Currently enjoying the tail on all my Vulpera characters, there’s nothing to stop them from giving Worgen tails. They may not have had them in Vanilla, but I see that as more a graphics limitation than for any real reason. If Worgen had tails they could possibly be my favorite alliance race. And make it a toggle, no need to give anyone anything they don’t want.

Anywhere where it actually says they can’t?
Genn is the only one blizzard has confirmed has no tail.
Orcs are stated as being standard biological beings due to the spore mounds affecting the Gronn over time. Effectively did to the Breakers what the curse of flesh did to the Titan-forged.
Again though. Got anything that says they can’t?
Does it change anything about Worgen?
Optional tails won’t do anything.
Then why bother with your initial post? Lol
Why not?
Would optional tails really affect you?
