I wish Gnomes looked like this. That might actually get me to play one.
That would ruin gnomes! Leave gnomes alone! They already went through enough with the mechanization process.
If I could delete one race, that would be it. Ankoan, Sethrak, HE, Half Elves, and about a dozen other ones would have been better than Garbage Pail gnomes.
If they patched mechagnomes to be able to wear armor over their robotic parts they would be a really good allied race though. They’re only a problem because blizzard is being stubborn about that artistic decision. Maybe they are just struggling with a way to code it so that only mechagnomes can hide their pants though.
What if I told you they were all really the SAME elf…
oh thats a halfling.

gnomes and halflings are actually quite different.
traditionally, gnomes were more fae-related, were mischievious and hung out in gardens alot. but in everquest, they introduced them as short people with mechanical abilities, with big heads and thus big intellects. wow gnomes were modelled after them
At this stage I wish the company would just let people play what they want and join the faction they want. I want to play a Draenei warlock on the Horde side.
Here’s my beef with this - well, one of them anyway:
The requests for Half-elves are positing a culture where disposable human spouses of High Elves are a routine thing. Think about it: Human lives ~70- 80 years and an Elf lives ~3,000.
This works for all of you? High Elves essentially using humans as breeding stock? Either that or positing that High Elves are serially falling head over heels in love with one human after another and that humans are just fine with it for…reasons?
Let’s not and say we never did.
No more damn elves.
I want both High Elves and Half-Elves playable on the Alliance. And there’s probably enough in lore if they were going to be used as a female only unit in Warcraft. So yeah, there should be heaps of them around.
<_<
To play devil’s advocate.
Why not?
It could be part of why the high elves generally frown upon intermingling. Conflict!
They can be called Nigh Elves.
Cool with me, as long as they’re written that way. Would be great to see the HMPs going nuts about it.
Oh hey, and another great addition: Goblin marriage brokers lining up all these disposable spouses for the High Elves.
Pfft, we all know the HMP’s will be too busy going “omg, that means I can RP having a high elf wife now. lololololololol”
Oh damn, you’re right
Alliance is the Goldshire faction.
If it isn’t pretty, they don’t want it.
Hence why Kul Tirans are hated. If they looked like Arnold and Scarlett Johanson, everyone would want them.
I want Half Elves for Horde and Alliance.
Half Elf Half Human = Alliance
Half Elf Half Orc = Horde
gah!!!
