I have seen lots of people not understanding why the dislike towards KT, I’ll try to explain to the best of my abilities ( keep in mind that I do like the KT but I fully understand the hate)
-
They are humans
Their robust look and racials are a in game feature in reality they are just humans, HMT are biologically different having the diffrent horns and being separated from their cousin for 10k years
The Mag’har and MU Orcs are closer but we saw with the Eredar and other races that being corrupted by Fel has a impact but more importantly both races were granted the straight back option while the KT is not able to choose standard or thin human models both would help their popularity
-
Poor class choice
Because of their Big Frame most people would favor them for Melee STR classes and from the 3 available he can only be War, Thin human would help a lot here
-
No representation
We have 3 faction that are 100% Kul’tirans and none of their leaders have the KT Model.
All the Proudmoores, every single Tide Sage and the whole Waycrest House use the standard human model.
In fact if I had to name any important NPC with the KT model it would have to be Lady Priscilla who is a villain so bland that she was made to look like Priscilla from the little mermaid or Cyrus Crestfall who is describe as a old tired soldier which makes the KT model look like a fat but somewhat still strong old man
TL:DR Put that all together and we are left with a feeling of a uninteresting race with low options and no one to represent how badass they can be
Its really bad and sad that for a xpac where they are the focus and selling point there is no badass npc that uses the KT model and no one important using the KT model in any of the Cinematics

standing upright (which looks stupid btw) is a lot different than an entirely different model.

This is the exact same reason why Void Elves are so disliked too. Alleria, the main Void Elf, is literally just a High Elf that turns purple on occasion.

lots of people like and if they were to removed people would complain like no tomorrow
Agree but that’s on them for choosing to give the same race different models

Yeah i thought the skinny guys would be under the Kultiran race.
Orcs can change from a variety of clans and two posture choices so it’s not that hard to imagine.

they just wanted the obese players to feel good. Nothing else.

even if that is the case what difference does it make? there’s like two chubby races vs 500 skinny/buff ones. who is to say who deserves representation in the game?

Why not just Vrykul? Only a horde guild would think kul tirans for alliance was a good idea.

I think you forgot how strongly the community wanted these Kul’tiran humans.

some of us play both. and literally every single horde close friend i have in the game has said if we could steal just one race from the alliance it would be kt. i think it’s just a matter of alliance only wanting helves and nothing else will do. -.-

I don’t know… I always enjoyed the fat strong characters in a setting. Not sure why.
I mean… Kul Tirans are low on my unlock priority (they are only above Mechagnomes.) But that is only because I cannot being myself to finish the quest line for Storm Wake’s.

Let’s not mince words. The problem with Kul’Tirans is they are fat and ugly so nobody wants to play them.

Kul’tiras is cool as a landmass, their lore and music is frankly amazing.
And i’m glad the Kingdom was brought back into The Alliance, but as a playable race? Eh.

I think “the community” forgot how strongly they wanted them, given that nobody plays them.

I’d say if you have a problem with a race don’t play em’, not like someone has a gun to your head at the character creation screen.
(Well besides that one HMT guy, sorry I forgot your name but I still have a good chuckle when I remember your outrage about being forced to be a disgusting HMT)
Instead of “fixing” races you don’t enjoy focus in on the ones you do or ones you’d like added in the future.

i had been planning on race changing my dwarf pally to it but when i discovered they couldn’t be pallies i ended up pushing off the unlock until i can solo it. it’s one of the allied races i wanted the most but the fact that zanda can be pallies but kt can’t is just a huge let down to me.

As someone whose RP’ed for many years, not many people asked for a Kul’tiran race.
As people use Humans to RP from each of the kingdoms. People wanted Kul’tiras as a continent, and Kul’tiran themed weapons and armor.
