I just assume the art team wants every raceās male and female models to have obvious differences when not wearing a helmet, and it would be harder to do that on a non-mammal without going into low-budget kidsā movie territory.

Blizzard doesnāt exactly care about their lore Iām sure theres a half-butt measured way Alliance couldve gotten em. Besides yall NEED something desperately to make you half interesting.

Dude. How many times do we have to go over this? Mechagnomes were inevitable because the way the allied race system was setup is that it was supposed to be for variants. Sethrak donāt look anything like gnomes. Its your fault for expecting anything else then mechagnomes. Besides. People have been requesting more gnome content for ages. It may be true that there wasnāt as many direct requests for mechagnomes, but there has been requests for gnome content and we got that big time with Mechagon and mechagnomes as an allied race.

Ah I gotcha.
Iāve often wondered that myself, though itās not like they canāt give them unique forms for both.
Sethrak technically have a male and female model but only Sethraliss uses the female one and itās hard to notice the differencesā¦
Iād love an ambiguous race myself but I can see blizzard not wanting to as you point out.
Theyāve kept pretty well to thier lore overall.
Itās players misinterpreting lore thatās been an issue for some.
Every time someone tells me x thing goes against z and I go looking itās almost never been real.
There is no current way to realistically believe the Sethrak would go Alliance.
A subjective opinion.
I find mechagnomes very interesting, and void elves literally brought me back after 7 years away.

Your issue is here.
You are putting your subjective opinion over anything else.
No random, non-lore appropriate race, or in fact most anything is going to change a single thing about the Alliance under any circumstance.
The main issue that set the stage for the Horde to hold the majority of end game players, and it is endgame players not the majority of actual players, was a mistake Blizzard made long ago with racials back in MoP.
The slide began there and never stopped becauseā¦ well why would it? The only way to fix it once it started would be to unfairly make an alliance racial to Overpowered to be reasonable and all it would have done is switch which side was on top.
Again though, only in endgame content. M+ and Mythic Raiding are the only things actually affected by this in any meaningful way.
I can tell you, with a straight face all day, that the Alliance is going to be fine without snakes. lol

Anyone else want cosmetic weapons that replace your bionic hands? Weapon metal finish should match your upgrades.
Dagger: Retractable Wrist Blades
Gun: Plasma Hand Canon replaces your hand. Megaman? Donāt you mean ā¦ Megagnome?!
Fist Weapon: Hand is replaced with a Rotating Rock Grinder
Mace: Hand is replaced with a Spiked Mace
Axe: Hand is replaced with a Small Rotating Circular Saw
Wand: Hand is replaced with a Small Tesla Coil
Sword: Retractable Plasma Blade
Polearm/Bow: ?
Shield: Small Shield Projector on your wrist that creates a circular force field
Off-Hand: Maybe some kind of Energy Generator?

Thatās my favourite also. Itās powered by a demons soul by the way. Itās like the Mekgineers (blizz) were reading my mind.

But where is the balance? That beautiful melding of living flesh and optimized mechanics. That thing looks like something King Mechagon would have dreamed up. I appreciate your opinion but no thank you.

I just got to thinking that we havenāt seen the armor worn in the mechagnome preview image in-game (see below). I thought it was strange that the mechagnome heritage tabard doesnāt match the heritage armor at all, but it perfectly matches the left-most armor set in the image.
I wonder if these armor sets exist in the files somewhere and if they will ever be available to players. Both the steampunk-y attire on the left and the jumpsuit on the right look pretty awesome. I bet the blouse and corset look would be really popular for transmog.

I really hope we get more steampunk themed clothes. A brown top hat with brass accessories and a skirt to go with that blouse/corset would be amazing!
