They are small and weak and literally would not exists as a species in real WoW. They may be smart but predatory food chains dont care if you’re smart, it’s just survival of the fittness. Sharks are alpha predators and fish are guppys. It’s just life and the circle of it.
So even though you think you’re cool with your giant sword transmog on your little baby gnome, just understand that it isnt anything true and you’re just compinsating .
Get away from my cute and perfect gnomies, their intelligence and charm alone makes them fabulous. Their cute size and adorable faces are just a bonus.
If that were true, predators such as lions and what not would have wiped humans out. Intelligence plays a far more important part of survival than you give it credit for.
What, by themselves? My gold would be on the lion. What would you do against a lion? Punch it? Lmao. It would tear you to shreds. Dont let your name get to your head sir.
There are more rats than there are people in this world, and they’re small! I think gnomes will do fine… yes I am comparing rats to gnomes, they are equal; goblins are cockroaches.
Human beings have no fur, and our skin is not thick. We have no claws. We have weak jaws. We have no fangs or effective piercing teeth. We’re slow. We cannot maneuver well at all in the water. We are not hardy enough to survive temperature extremes in either direction.
And yet, we’re not only at the top of the food chain; we’ve transcended it.
Smarts, good sir, are everything.
Humans don’t voluntarily go into confined spaces with danger without equipping themselves against it, though…because they’re smarter than lions.
Give the human a weapon (a Gnomish-make gun, perhaps), and see which one walks out. That’s the real answer.
Gnomes in the game are technologically advanced and benevolent. So are the Goblins. If either of those WoW races chose to go evil, they’d be the last ones standing.
Funny enough, the gnomes create settlements in the most dangerous places which are Gnomeregan (Frostmane lands), Toshley’s Station (infested with ravagers) and Fizzcrank Airstrip (Magmothregar lands).
