Yes, of course all the playable races do not can come out in an expansion, so it will take a long time for them to be a playable race.
Vrykrul: tall/muscular human =/= new race
ogres: Yup, should have been added in forever ago
Gnolls: No. Makes zero sense why they would join either side or why either side would want them too.
Tuskarr: available for both sides, then
Saberon: not really a fan of cat people (and I don’t see how/why they would join either side or why either side would want/allow them to)
Unfortunately, Blizzard messed up with in regard to allied races (and kind of too late fix it/do it right). Virtually every single one that has been added is a glorified customization option that could/should have been achieved using the character selection screen or the barber chair. They probably should just have been purely a cosmetic difference with maybe some slight tweaks/differences in regard to minor racial abilities.
fat human =/= new race
tattooed draenei =/= new race
tauren with moose antlers =/= new race
brown orc =/= new race
gnomes with robot parts =/= new race
slightly different colored troll =/= new race
soot/fire dwarves =/= new race
personally would also like sethrak, but that’s just me
Vrykul for the Alliance. Ogres for the Horde. Let it be the battle of the progenitor giants.
Sethrak and Arakkoa (cursed and non) come on, Blizz.
Saberon is pretty much the only race at this point I really really want.
A tiger warrior has always been a cool fantasy figure for me since I was a little kid, so it would me an immediate play and quite possibly become my main that same day.
I’d also make a snow leopard monk, black leopard rogue and a lion shaman. Thank you!
That said, I’d consider a tuskarr hunter just to level and have him fish all of the places.
Wouldn’t mind a drakonid and would love a large gargoyle from SL, but I know that will never happen, haha.
Saberon please…that’s all I really want these days…Tiger warrior!
Players when a huge mount is released: REEEE! Why does Blizzard insist on making mounts so big that they can’t fit through doors?!
Players when they claim they want a big race like Ogres or Vrykul: Yes! I absolutely would love to play a race so big that they have trouble fitting through doors!
(that’s a no to Ogres and Vrykul being playable)
But I would like to play a Tuskarr one day…
A blue.

I want spider elves and the spider race from Maldraxxus.
Ogres and Vrykul and other big races just need a kool aid man racial, then they don’t need doors.
I always wanted to be able to play the broken. Now that we have lightforged draenei (just draenei) pretty sure playable broken is not happening.
But I still want it.
“There!” Innkeeper hangs up a cute painting of a cute puppy on her wall. “The wall is finally fully fixed after that band of Vrykul came crashing through it.”
A loud noise starts approaching the tavern with multiple loud Vrykul singing songs. A few seconds later they reach the door. “This door is way too small for us!” “How do we get in? WE’RE THIRSTY!”
“Oh no…” The Innkeep mutters as the Vrykul are trying to burst their way in. “No, please.” As the wall finally gives way and an influx of Vrykul pour in to the Tavern.
“INNKEEP! BEER!” as they try sitting on bar stools that are comically too small for them. The Innkeep just screams as loud as she can, revealing her inner Warlock, casting Cataclysm instinctively. Which causes the entire Tavern to erupt in to a fiery blazes before the building collapses under its own weight.
I admit, I did not think of the cute puppy paintings.
But I do still laugh to myself every time I picture an ogre busting through a wall and yelling “Oh yeah!”
Most of these races we have spent nearly 20 years murdering on mass. Why would they join either side?
The updated Krokul/Broken in Legion use Draenei models just with different faces/tails. It could be implemented as a customization option for regular Draenei. I’d love that.
