So Earthen don’t get playable druids despite druid npcs.
And now Dracthyr who have the essence of the green dragonflight who are tied to the emerald dream are also declined druids.
Y’all made so many druid forms in emerald dream patch. I’m pretty sure you can make some for new races.

At this point blizzard just hates druids.
Earthen: has druid npcs. But not playable druids.
Dracthyr: connected to the emerald dream through the green dragonflight. But no playable druids.
They made TONS of druid forms in emerald dream patch of DF it won’t kill their budget to have more made for c lasses who lore-wise do or should have druid.
Either way making my mage one I think and maybe warrior.
Also no shaman?!?!?!
WTF? or monk?!?!? if they weren’t going to add any new animations or ability models for them why delay them past .0? These classes c ould’ve been added in 7.0 they already had all the animations for them.
Personally if I had to guess it’s probably just because it’s extra model/design work for the forms which is a lot more resources.
Because there’s about a half dozen other races who should be getting druid before labdragons.
Freysworn aren’t druids. They’re a form of shaman
Druid form models take more time to develop.
The real reason right there
I mean sure but they could just put in that work. It won’t break the bank, it won’t cost them a raid tier.
My best guess or copium hope is that eventually all races will get paladin/shaman/druid and we’ll just have to wait. But it’s still frustrating I feel like if it makes sense for a new race to have em they should put in the effort to get them. Then again they didn’t even give them monk even though blizzard made it explicit anyone can be a monk and monk is one of the basic classes. But they have almost no monk animations and they’re too lazy to add animations.
I mean I’m all for all class all race (with the potential except of dh/evoker).
It’s not too hard to justify druid. For both orc and draenei they’ve been allied to druidic races for decades. Both have shaman and thus in-tune-ment with nature.
Wildhammer dwarves supposedly have druids.
Pandaren are all about balance and the augest celestia are ancients and thus likely have a connection to the emerald dream like all other ancients and could be the inspo for their forms.
Blood elves are descended from night elves and early high elf/blood elf lore and even some lore in the starting zone suggests they have nature wielders.
But those races aren’t getting new classes atm. Dracthyr are.
Freysworn are a group of naturalists they have both druids and shamans. You can see both water spells and green nature spells and some are explicitly wearing leather not mail.
Indeed but they’ve had two years. Plus they made a bunch of universal druid forms in dragonflight.
I’m pretty sure there was talk in the past about expanding all classes to all races eventually (except demon hunter), even with a callout specifically mentioning gnome druids. I think it may have gotten walked back though?
But yeah, it would be nice, but would they put in the budget for the druid when they won’t put in the budget for Dracthyr transmogs/more barbershop armour options? 
I don’t think they’ve been working on Druid models for Dracthyr for two years; they maybe haven’t even put one second into it to this day…
All of which save for Moonkin require to be learned in various ways, not baseline.
Shamans also use nature magic
We pay 15 dollars a month and druid is always one of the top 3 most played classes.
They can find time to make models that WILL be used.
The reason was laziness and greed plain and simple.
There is ZERO lore justification for them to not be druids.
That’s the core problem.
What’s the point of this statement? It’s effort from the dev team either way. How content is acquired doesn’t impact the devs team ability to produce it.
They don’t use green-leafy spells anymore.
Uh what? Druids have the most special abilities, forms and unique things of any class, plus 4 specs lol.
We already have too many druids
Theres not.
Im in favor of all classes getting them, but the only ones you coulf justify lore wise right now are Dwarves (WildHammer) and Pandaren (Celestials).
they dont hate druids, they hate extra work
Druids take much more development time, draw the concept of the forms, the lore, do the models, search for animations to recicle, etc, etc
You’ll get Harronir in a patch or two
Druids have the least amount of playable races (except the hero classes) and yet theyre the top 3 most played. Try again.
Im aware of that
Way too many
