Terrible Races we are getting

Give me Fish people, now! Enough with the troll (not the race) races, give Alliance something good. Tired of crap like mechno-gnomes, a race nobody will even play, already only 0.00001% play gnomes, what makes you think they will play mechno gnomes? lol. Who are just gnomes with metallic arms and legs. You keep giving Horde all the best races and Alliance bad ones. Vulpera atleast will be a new race, compared to mechnognomes which is exact copy of current gnomes with machine limbs.

We donā€™t even know thatā€™s what the new race will be. I have my doubts, since you canā€™t even see much gear on them. And ā€œfish peopleā€ are only seen as males, right? Unless Iā€™m missing something with the new ones.

But weā€™ve already got the Nelf rig used enough in the game. We donā€™t really need it again.

Of course, Iā€™m of the opinion that AR were a bad idea and have gotten even worse now that there are unique rigged races being added into the mix of these AR reskins.

I would calm down. I think mechagnomes and vulpera are the next AR but Blizzard could surprise us all with something from left field or no more AR this xpac.

Theyā€™re not going to listen to us either way so thereā€™s no point in getting your panties in a wad.

This just in! New race after robo gnomes: skinny kul tirans! They are a fringe group that couldnā€™t stomach the war.

Give them a couple earrings and slap on some lipstick.

Thatā€™s about as much effort as you can expect blizzard to put into on any allied race now.

Iā€™d much rather have something new, like with a new model, not a repainted one.

Ya know I admit Iā€™ve been guilty of this many times, but perhaps we should just stop hating on what people want as an allied race so much as well as stop trying to push it into people about their preferred allied race. We can never really be sure until there is official confirmation from blizzard. I am just gonna leave it. Iā€™ve already said how I feel on the matter dozens of times.

/Waiting for something to be excited about in WoW

/Devs announce Mechagnomes

/unsub

This expansion has me so close to unsubbing. Iā€™m monumentally bored to a degree I usually only incur during the end of an expansion. 8.2 has NOTHING to get excited about. The only wagon left to hitch to for any chance to be excited about SOMETHING in BfA (or next expansion) is an Allied Race Iā€™d actually like to play (ie: High Elves) but here we sit with robotic gnomes the likely next addition.

ouch.

Not many I suppose as the limbs do scare me away a bit too.

SINCE the reveal of allied races, the community have pushed mechagnomes as the gnomes allied race.

Gnomes make up 5.7% of Alliance players at 120. Dwarves are 6.3% and they have an allied race.

The concept of Allied Races is essentially Allied Cultures in their current form. The current pattern of BFA ARs has been they are easily relatable to their base race. Expecting ā€˜newā€™ races is just not realistic when you notice the pattern.

Some people will have to learn this the hard way. There is no point even trying to argue with people who donā€™t realize this at this point now. Just sit back and wait.

That being said, at times I do wish blizzard stuck to new fresh races. Even more than that though, I wish people would stop hating on niche races like this

And Kul Tirans? What are they? Chopped Liver?

I just data mined something from the game files just now.
It appears to be a hot dog with twigs stuck in it for arms and legs.
Hmmā€¦or should I say Mmm.

I hope Vulpera and Mechagnomes are the next allied race. That way Iā€™ll have ZERO motivation to unlock them :slightly_smiling_face:

Agreed. The quest will sit in my quest menu undone just like the Kultiran one.

There are people who will like to play with junkgnomes!
It will not be too many players, and will not be popular to bring any impact to the Alliance!

Especially if the race that Horde picks up, is something new and better in popularity!

Junkgnomes, would not be popular if they did not use void and were void gnomes!

The blood elves, which were spawned in the alliance with the void themed, are only popular for using the same model of blood elves!

What can the horde receive in return for the junkgnomes in the alliance? Gilboblins?
May God be gilgoblins, for if they are vultures we will live in the shadow of the recolors! Again!

Sigh.
ā€œI donā€™t like this raceā€ does not equal ā€œNo one likes this raceā€.

FOR GNOMEREGAN! GNOMEREGAN FOREVER!!!

I will never play a mechagnome, but Iā€™d be glad if it were added. Ever since WotLK, people have been asking for them. I want more races people have historically wanted - that are already a part of our factions - rather than new creations.

Exactly, my statuesque shortcake.

I just want my Alliance Gorian Ogres.
