Someone suggested in another thread that squeaky wheels get grease. So listen up Blizz. You have already catered to Elves, and Dracthyr, and even Dwarves. It is time you paid more attention to the #1 diminutive race in this game. GNOMES.
Gnomereagan is not retaken. We’ve only scratched the surface. In another thread, I mentioned what we could do about retaking it entirely.
The Rebirth of Gnomeregan
Now, for the rest of the requests. You might want to grab a coffee. Gnomes have been around for 20 years, and it is high time they were given MORE.
- The Titan World, and our place in it: People seem to forget one of the best raids ever added to this game took place in a Titan city built by Mechagnomes, and inhabited by other species. We need one whole expansion dedicated to Gnomes and Mechagnomes alike.
- Transportation: Airships? Teleporters? Wonderform devices? All Gnomes. Engineering? Mostly Gnomes, at least the stuff that doesn’t blow up in your face. We built MOST of what you have used to win your wars, or should I not remind anyone of the absolute BOSS that was Mekkatorque in the Battle for Dazar’alor?
Mekkatorque, risking life, and losing limbs, single handedly brought down a bunch of Zandalari warchips. Gelbin is the ONLY reason we even made it to the landing zone despite Jaina’s failure to keep the ship safe during the incursion. If she had done her job, he would not have needed Mechagnome limbs and medical assistance.
- Weapons of all kinds: We ALL know that Gnomish Engineering handed us some of the best guns in the game, and even improved on some of the Goblin explosives. We have so many cool items that Engineering was almost a main staple in Vanilla PvP. Flying Tiger goggles were seen everywhere!
The Alliance would have lost a LONG time ago had it not been for Gnomes. Or maybe everyone forgot the ship that helped catch and bring down Deathwing…
The very ship where these to pop culture legends helped us…
Mounts that changed the game: Gnomish Engineering has brought some of the coolest rides to the game, even early on. I would venture to say MOST of us already have them, and even used our Gnomes or Engineers to build them for others.
So, Goblins are getting an entire patch, and ironically probably also launching the Tinker class. But Gnomes are LONG overdue for some new stuff. Give us our city back as an actual hub with an AH, banks, mogs, barbershop, a flight path, and more. Include us in more content, and CINEMATICS. Stop ignoring the one small race that seems to have the biggest impact in winning against the Horde, or actual bad guys. We need paladins and druids to help round out our rosters…
They say the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Let’s see if they are right.
TL;DR - Gnomes deserve some love. Goblins have had their time in the sun more than once.
