HmT have the fewest customization choices bar none—fewer than any other allied race, fewer than any core/old race.
Compared to Dark Iron Dwarves (DID) and Mag'Har Orcs (MHO), HmT look embarrassingly unfinished. With the (arguable) exception of Void Elves, most of the pre-order allied races look blatantly phoned-in compared to DID and MHO. Before folks even get into gameplay, they first need to pick an avatar. It's a bad first impression when half of the "ooh-aah" featured new allied races look like rush jobs.
Blizz, since you're "concentrating on allied races", can you continue to work on HmT so they look up to par with DID and MHO?
At the very least, can you fix HmT customization so players like me who hate what you did with the WoD revamps can race change from vanilla Tauren? This wasn't an issue prior to 7.3.5 when I could use the old models, but you guys borked the WoD facelifts and it's a dealbreaker. You guys underestimate how important our avatars are to some people.
Suggestions:
add more face options - female HmT have only 4 face options, males only 5. Specifically add at least 1 face option for each sex with a mouth that looks like the old vanilla Tauren model, without the cleft upper lip. All HmT faces have the exact same sheep/camel/woodchuck/dog mouths. It's less deeply cleft on the males, but the females don't even look like the same species. Mouth should be like :] not :3
Heck, an actual moosey face would be cool, too. Big ol' pendulous schnozz to match the moose mounts!
add more skin color options - notably missing is a ghost/spirit white color. Additional colors should run from white to dun to cafe au lait like real moose and wapiti.
INB4: "gameplay blah blah...." They have different teams. Gameplay teams do not work on art and vice versa.
