PSA: Make Tinker Goblin and Gnome exclusive

Community General Discussion
1

If you do anything otherwise blizzard you’re cowards.

I don’t like elves but I’m forced to play elf to play demon hunter.

Make tinkers Goblin and gnome exclusive.

IF WE WANT TO MEET MIDDLE GROUND

Add in Tinker Apprentiship questline

Once you get a gnome or goblin tinker max level, you do a questline to train a new generation of tinkers, said tinkers come from every race, once you complete it you get an achievement to play tinkers as non goblin/ gnome.

P.S.

Demonology warlocks have been in a terrible position since demon hunters were added, making a necromancer class would further push this spec into the ground.

How about we don’t do tinkers and say we did and it’s called engineering ;D.

So you are calling Blizzard cowards if they don’t make a class that doesn’t exist exclusive to two races?

I see the appeal and it would force people to play more of the master races of WoW. But there are a number of other races more then capable of mastering technology. I mean, have you seen Mag’har tech? It’s beautiful.

Gnomes have always had terrible ideas compared to goblins.

As much as I hate them, it’d be a bit silly to not let Mechagnomes be Tinkers too.

No, they actually have some pretty good ideas. Just poorly executed. They lack the practicality that Goblins are famous for.

Yes cause they did it to pat on elf players, keep that same energy blizzard

How about Blizzard really shows their mettle and releases tinkers with no races available to them?

There was an undead tinker in island expos

Nah, draenei, dwarves, humans, orcs, and blood elves can all easily be tinkers. all these races have a good aptitude for technology

You’re correct but I don’t think letting vulpera baseline be tinkers is correct.

Maghar tech is them following a cookbook.

To be a tinker requires actually ingenuity and creativity.

Yep. “Mag’har tech” is actually Blackfuse tech. Goblin.

There’s no way I’m ever going to play a goblin or gnome, and other races have shown to be just as technologically advanced. Tinkers should not be limited to only two races.

Most of this tech is literally goblin/ gnome tech.

Only draenei I can give a pass but tbh their tech is magical based while gnomes and goblin use tech based on actual oil, gears and automation

How do you think the people that don’t want to play elves feel about demon hunters? Welcome to the party.

Mechagnomes and Mag’har Orcs as well imo.

I wan

Hot take, make unholy ranged or do a class skin for Warlocks.

Guess that’s why I like it so much.

Have you played the Vulpera zone? They love “tinkering” with found tech. Also the Draenei have crystal based tech far beyond anything a gnome or goblin has done. Lastly no race has mastered chemical weapons or science to the extent of the forsaken. Also dwarves, humans, orcs, BE, and NB have taken to technology very well.

You still didn’t address the fact that other races are just as advanced. Also I didn’t see Illidan train other races. Your comparison does not work.

We all know Blizzard won’t put that much stock in us. Tinkers would be better as

Gnome
Mechagnome
Goblin
Undead
