Goblins Need Love Too

The new models look great! I just wish male goblins had the option for eyebrows/facial hair (even if it'd be sparse) and perhaps one option for a 'cutesy' male goblin.

I know they aren't "traditionally" attractive race, but I have a soft-spot for them and they have that whole "so ugly it's cute" kind of thing going on.

I also hope to see more variety in Goblin representation, like they have their good and bad like any race. I want to see loyal Goblin bros and gals with a bit more of a moral fortitude than some other Gobs. We need more prominent Goblins in the story too - like whenever Gallywix is gonna be de-throned or something along those lines.
Facial hair would be nice not only for goblins but also for trolls.
I really do hate how one-note Blizzard has written goblins. Every single time you run into any goblin-related content or goblin characters, you know exactly what to expect. The same gimmick played out over and over again. It was better pre-Cata.

Gnomes suffer from this too but at least we have like, Kelsey and...Chromie? Does Chromie count?

I agree. I really like to see more humanity portrayed in the goblins. Show them have serious lore moments too. Gnomes and Goblins are usually the butt of jokes in WoW but with the new Mechagnome area it seems they may be expanding upon it a bit more??

Like, yeah Goblins can be awful but they need good and bad in their ranks like any other race in Azeroth. They should have some that have more moral convictions and not just have Gallywix as a stand-in for how ALL Goblins should act/behave because he really should be the *worst* of Goblin-kind (he's fun but shouldn't be the leader).

Also I just really like the idea of an underestimated, physically weak, fish-out-of-water with their gadgets in a magical world - they share so much with the Gnomes but I feel the only things that set them apart is Goblins are greedy and manipulative and Gnomes...aren't...?

They ooze with personality, it's just a shame more isn't done with it.
