Lets be real here, little things like this is why people say too many people these days are overly sensitive because they really are and they show it again and again.

You know if I get a forum ban so be it. Blizzard has crapped on Worgen since the start, what could be a really cool concept for a race has been turned into a joke ever since Cata went live. Blizzard put out a subpar model that would be the laughing stock of WoWs quality for 10 years. The Worgen player base took a huge hit in the numbers of players who played it due to the look of the model, the way the model was animated, the size of the model making 0 since… And yet some how that passed as some of Blizzards best work they could do for Cata? Kids in Second Life have made better looking models and Blizzard knew it so they hardly did anything related to Worgen for years. It litterly took us 10 years and the HD model upgrade to see any kind of good player base numbers as a race and yet we still have been neglected. We are still the only core race in the game whos racial abilitys have never been upgraded/brought up to par. Even Goblins got that upgrade so you cant say oh they only upgraded the races before Cata. What kind of company puts almost no effort into a player model then treats the player base like they dont matter when they have low numbers due to such a piss poor effort that is entirely on Blizzard to start. Now they come in knowing that for years we have been asking for something and crap on us by insulting us with another races joke. How disgusting is that? I have been playing WoW since 04 and never have I felt like Blizzard just has gotten to the point they dont care about the player base till now. Sure if Worgen were Horde we would have had tails long ago or shown any kind of love but Worgen are Alliance so no time or effort is ever put into them what so ever and really its sad.

Most jokes like that are done because people werent aware they would irk someone else. This kind of feels like a purposeful targeted jab at a community thats been begging for just a slight nod of “dont worry we got you”

Let’s be real here.
If the old flirt/joke purge hadn’t happened - very few people would be complaining, because they understand jokes sometimes offend and sometimes poke fun.
By adding this joke after they removed a crapton of other jokes/flirts because they might offend someone (literally what Blizzard told us, they asked their teams to submit jokes/flirts that they feel might offend someone)
Yet then they added this after all of that, knowing full well it would offend the group of people who want tails.
The entire difference is they deleted all of those old jokes and flirts because they offended, then purposely added an offensive joke.
It essentially says “The community members who want worgen tails aren’t important.”
I’m currently debating making a post in the CC forums about the joke, because again, even as someone who doesn’t care about worgen tails, this leaves a bad taste in my mouth after the great joke/flirt purge.

It’s not like it’s Ardenweald or any of the other countless ways I’ve had the blizz people disrespect me for my choice to play a Tauren because they had some big brained idea to completely upend the plot for BFA and we’re never gonna hear the end of it. This is a stupid joke about one customization request that changes how worgen have appeared in wow. I’m not against it, but this all is a bit excessive.
blizzard is out of touch with any and all customization communities at any given moment. Getting one or two even halfway decent customizations that have giant fan requests takes years.
See dark rangers/san’layn. A request that can date back to WOTLK is a skin and red eye toggle added very recently.

They are, and it’s going to get worse as machine convenience drives up everybody’s expected standard of living.
It’s not the first time they’ve told a group of people that want something to shove it.

Calling it now, Worgen get tails once Microsoft takes over.
Your kidding right, Alliance have been the ones catered to time after again be it with getting a copy/paste with 90% customizations of our number one race while we got a botched model with horrible customizations and even after the customization pass needs more work, storylines where we are always villainized and lose leaders, an actual brand new built from the ground up Allied Race with Kul Tiran, I could go on but the whole victim complex is unbelievable when your side keeps getting exactly what it wants.

Ah, man, speaking of botched models does anybody remember ten years of Cataclysm female Worgen?

Well im not really offended personally im just discouraged weve been hopeful and asking for something for 2+ years and this is the response we get. Kind of feels like we kindly asked for something and we got spat in the face in response. Im not sure this is the same as the joke purge because it feels like those were removed mostly for vulgarity. This joke isnt vulgar it just feels spiteful and done with ill intent. Which isnt something you want to feel from the company you are paying a sub to play their game.

Are you really gonna argue that alliance got the better allied races…

I’m not saying that’s okay but at least it got fixed and in current times Alliance is the central focus of everything and we are just along for the ride.
If I have to because it’s true, the only place we won was with Vulpera but otherwise we got screwed.
I will too.
Most of what horde got were barely enough to be considered extra customization options.

You just lost pretty much all WoW-related respect from me. LOL.
Alliance got the short end of the stick on every Allied Race. Horde literally got all the races they asked for. Alliance got leftovers and shoehorned in races that never existed before like Mechagnomes, Lightforged and Void Elves.

I feel like a lot of people would disagree with you for the mere argument of zandalari to kul tiran and vulpera to mechagnome. Nightborne is pretty unique too tbh
