Incubus in Era: Why Not Doe in MoP? Representation Matters

To whom it may concern,

I’m a longtime WoW player and Druid main, just asking if we could get Doe Form as a cosmetic Travel Form option in MoP Classic.

Stag only kinda sucks. Not everyone wants to be stuck in a big male deer form, especially when Warlocks got Incubus as a more inclusive option. This is the same idea.

Not everyone playing a Druid identifies with a masculine form, and we should have the option to choose something that fits better for us. Doe Form was added later in Legion, but it would mean a lot to see that brought into MoP Classic.

Maybe as a glyph, or a toggle, or something simple. Just let us choose how we show up in the game.

Thanks for reading. Representation matters, even when it’s just a shapeshift form.

Most obvious chatGPT post ever. These ‘—’ are a dead give away.

Also they haven’t even fixed track humanoids not picking up warriors / shadow priests let alone adding new things.

I think most folks associate this particular sub-forum with the Vanilla version. We don’t really have a MoP Classic sub-forum yet but maybe the Cata one is more appropriate?

I don’t have much of a… travel form… in this race but for what it’s worth, I have always been in favour of Druid form customizations :wink:

I don’t know that this is a bad thing. Obviously there’s going to be a settling period, but I’d rather read a post generated by ChatGPT than one someone with poor writing skills generated on their own.

With that said, I think folks do need to start thinking of ChatGPT as an editing tool and not a full on content generation tool.

I have faith we’ll get there one day though!

Blizz needs to adjust Forum policy to prohibit ChatGPT posts.

add tick form so you can just use any animal as a temporary mount.

Agreed. As someone who supports people and their gender expression, do this.

Also, who the F*** cares if it’s a chatGPT post? It doesn’t matter, in the slightest, if someone uses AI. It helps people who have a hard time spelling, or have disabilities, or are illiterate, or have English as their 2nd language.

Lay off, be nice, or keep your BS to yourselves.

Sure but AI posts are quite often done by people who don’t actually care about the topic and are just trolling.

I assure you I am not trollig. I just have a hard time wording myself without spending hours on end. I genuinely think I’m making a good point and wish people would engage with it but… I get why people aren’t doing that :c

That’s not a bad suggestion but since MOP Classic is in beta and they are looking for feedback maybe that forum will garner more visibility for OP’s request.

You did fine.
I hope Blizzard engages and either makes room for this or explains why it isn’t possible.
Good luck!

This is genius no lie.

fair point but pretty sure we know blizz stance, wont care unless you make a big enough stink

No, it actually doesn’t, and pretending it does /pandering to insane people is how you got the diversity tier list/scorecard for overwatch character creation… which is comically the single most racist thing in blizzard’s history.

but even if “representation” did matter:

100% of the female dear currently subcribing for and playing the game are represented as player choices. They’re already represented adequately.

What Blizzard will actually give us.

Which is horribly scaled and looks out of place on Era.

I personally don’t care but weaponizing representation doesn’t get my vote.

Saw this thread when it was posted a few hours ago. Knew it’d attract at least a couple irrationally angry, terminally online people. Glad it didn’t disappoint!

Dunno.
Glyphs are already in use so maybe it wouldn’t be that difficult to allow what OP is requesting.

yeah that’s the trouble… blizzard solutions are often not so great.

Ugh.
Corrupted wishes.

Imma go sit over there in the greybeard’s Optimists corner.

Why not a unicorn that farts rainbows?
