Depends what’s the Gnome racial?
Ok, well, never knew. Like I said, never started rolling a Belf until the start of Wrath, and even during that time, it was an alt. Was getting bored of my main at the time, and wanted to try out something new. So, Belf Paladin was the go. But then adandoned it around the mid 30’s and was only logging into my main until around mid Wrath when I started playing it again.
Sadly, I never got that Belf Pally to 80, I got caught buying gold online in Wrath and well, had to suffer the consequences.
And Mana Tap, yes, I knew that ability Warlocks used to have. Dunno why they gave it back to Desto Locks in Legion when they went MoP and WoD without it then removed it in BfA, puzzling confusion 
given its the active racial like is hitned at…
the Gnomes active racial has always been escape artist.
there is NO way to buff that to compare to BE racial xD
What is a silence spell if not something to be escaped?
You could also bring back old engineering and make it that all their product are more quality in engineering profession making explosives even more OP. Do the same thing for goblins so there’s no salt.
I really would like that racials had more impact in the game. But sadly all players who don’t care RPG aspect of the game (who are the majority) will choose always the same race-class combinations in order to make his character as more powerful as posible.

was a good pick casue back then pally had mana issues w/o Seal of Wisdom.
i’d toss every class, spec, racial under bus if it meant getting Wrath’s CB back <_<…
except eng still exists? (thoguh it is crap atm and only keep it casue its part of this character since vanilla)
outside of mounts/gliders its am oney pit. 90% of what u make cant even make half its material value back 
in theory yes.
the sad reality

I mean make old engineering as useful as it used to be. Then give gnomes and goblins something that makes it even more useful.
you’re delusional if you think the nerfs happened because of pvp and not pve
only human nerfs was because of pvp
Don’t let your memes be dreams.
if only…but devs see it as the joke prof and every xpac just adds a mount, pets, new bling, and higher material cost to everything 
And the “fun” stuff is un-usable in dungeons/arena…
also if you ever picked Goblin Engineering over Gnomish Engineering you need to take a new profession 
(totes not biased)

Really cause I’ve never met anyone who enjoys roleplay who wants nerfs even nerfs of useless abilities they still like the flavour aspect and want to keep it.
PvE doesn’t = Roleplay. Nerfs happened a lot because of pve, as I keep mentioning. Do you know who RP’s in this game? A tiny fraction of a fraction of the player base. I should know, I’m part of the RP community.
you never met anyone who complained? Dude, we literally only had belfs and trolls during the entirety of legion
for some reason you’re assuming pve is roleplay, its not.
pve is running mythic+, raiding and playing DK in Arena
that (the first two things) is what got your racials nerfed

Why would raiders be against flavour? All the good raiders exploited the hell out of the flavour in the old game.
Because flavor can sometimes mess with optimization. Which we have explained more than once. Same deal with the MDI. Flavor can mess with optimization.

Blizzard has 2 player groups they value.
PvE
and
PvP.
RP is never in the focus of devs.
Luckily, going forward with how the PvP system has been changed you will see less PvE ners effect PvP (and vice versa) since they can just adjust how they act in each situations

honestly? whoever is at the top usually don’t care, they just pick whatever gives them an edge and go for it.
This happens in PvP, this happens in PvE, and whenever that happens the huge flock of people who want to play like those top-end players just follow them, which causes a imbalance in races and blizzard, for some reason, thinks they need to balance it.
