if you dont really find any class interesting and you’re just in love with a class that does not even exist, maybe you just dont like the game as a whole ? what are the chances you dislike tinker even if they make it ? i’d say pretty high since no existing class interest you by the looks of it.
Then you should not be agreeing with someone that accused someone else of such things.

Yea I agree… while it personally wasn’t for me… they way went all in w/ the pirate theme with Outlaw rogues you could tell they really enjoyed it.
The steampunk gear aspect alone should justify this class imo…

When Did I say this?
I love Monk a ton, I love Hunter because Archery and Animals are cool.
I absolutely adore rogue. I dabble in demon hunter, but it doesn’t really stick with me because I find Vengance really boring.
When did I say this?
All I said was I find Death Knight super boring, and i’m not interested in Evoker. So I just don’t play Those 2 classes.
Oh Tinkers would have the BEST transmog.
Goggles, High Tech Visors, gas masks, riot gear.
Bring it on. 
Can’t wait to have my very own Tinker.
i dont think they will ever make a tinker class, since not many people like it 
i’d rather have another badass class like dh or dks than a goofball class like tinker.
I disagree. I think WoW is at its very best when It’s a little bit goofy.
I don’t think it needs to be goofy all the time or anything, but Shadowlands is a great example of what happens when Blizzard tries to play everything off 100% seriously. A somewhat goofy class would be great to balance out the Edgelords.
And I don’t think Tinkers would be Entirely Goofy. They’d be a little goofy for sure, but they’d also have plenty of Missiles and guns. That’s not goofy.

So, to make your point about it being a bad idea you cite an example of something you also thought was a bad idea that turned out to be extremely popular… interesting strategy…

Basically this. ^^
And I will concede that I also thought Demon Hunters would be a Bad addition.
But now after legion, and now Dragonflight, I’ve really seen that any new class design will come with all sorts of awesome stuff.
I imagine mech customization options. 
and all sorts of unique VFX for explosions and missiles. Like Railmaster Rocketspark, first boss of Grimrail Depot.

Right, but the point remains…people play belfs and nelfs. Very few people play gnomes or goblins. Regardless of my opinion in regards to locking a class to a single race, that is adjacent to my original point, rather than a supporting argument.
Yay, more ground clutter?

But, might that change given the chance to play a highly thematic class with deep ties to in game lore? Also given a cool execution on par with DHs or Evokers?
Maybe? But, the aesthetic just obviously doesn’t fit for a majority of people. If you overtune it, you’ll have some people chasing that, but as far as aesthetic or the desire to delve into those themes? I don’t see it happening.
Just to bookend this all, I don’t care about tinkers at all. I don’t care if they get added to the game, I’ll never play one. I’m only saying that, to me, it doesn’t make sense to dump a ton of dev time, and potentially steal abilities from other classes or make another profession defunct, just to make it happen. And seperate from that, if the class ever does get made, I hope they hard pass on that other poster’s ideas, we really don’t need more ground clutter. Even evoker has me concerned in that department. (Alternately, give us a UI option to turn other people’s spell effects off.)
would much rather have tanking evoker dracthyr since any new class we are getting after evoker is at least 2 expansions away
The battle-mage archetype is not in the game, same with dark knights also.
Many archetypes is still missing.
*and orcs and Draenei
It gets a small tactical nuke in the open world in DF… it’s kind of cool? Kind of?
Seriously though, the utility of engineering will always be nice.
It doesn’t have to go anywhere. I’m sure Engineering will keep all of it’s silly little utilities if we get a class that fights in a mech and builds turrets.
Death Knights have their own unique weapon enchantments. But we still have enchanters.
Rogues Heal with potions and hurt enemies with Poisons but we still have Alchemists.
I’m certain Engineering isn’t going anywhere.
We really don’t.
I think with all the technology in wow it’s a shame that none of the classes take advantage of that technology. The only one that kind of does is the hunter, but it depends on the style of gun.

Even Hunter takes some pretty deliberate steps away from Technology.
Animal Aspects, Magical Shots, Nature themed abilities.
Some Hunter abilities even fire Arrows even when you have a gun equipped.
While I agree hunter is the closest, It’s pretty far from being a “Technology Class”
