Unfair character customization

With all the new character customization that came out with shadowlands it’s extremely apparent that they favored certain races over others. let’s look at humans for example 45 faces and 34 hair styles to choose from.

Now let’s look at orcs 9 faces and 20 hair styles is this a joke? another example are blood elf’s 10 faces and 25 hairstyles. the list goes on how certain races get way more to choose from than others and you cant just say because humans are easiest to create features for.

Do better blizzard and add an even amount of options across the board for all races even with the newly added stuff Wows character creation is miles behind industry standards now compared to some of the other games out there.

Nightbornes and Worgen see me as neglected races.
Unfortunately, if new improvements and customization options came into the game, for our favorite races, it will not be in Shadowland that Actvision will add anything related.
They are trying to make their timegate game more palatable.
Would it be easy (and cheap) to please players with more and better customizations, such as those that have been suggested over the years by players?

Yes, but it does not seem to be the intention to do anything about it.

Blood elves are already MOST of the horde so I think the devs didnt really wanna exacerbate your population issues there.

As it is Orc actually ended up with the largest amount of possible unique characters with the new customization so… :man_shrugging:

Edit: Heres the link about who got the most options:

tauren still only have a handful of face options (more notably the females with like four and two of them look derpy/bad)

humans look great, elves got a billion options… how 'bout the rest of the races, blizz???

Seems they were more inclined to make it possible for players to create themselves in the game as humans if they desired so. Which is great but the other races definitely don’t feel like they had received a whole lot. I say they did a lot of work probably to separate the facial features and hairstyles/beards eyebrows from each other which was great but from the player viewpoint it doesn’t seem like a whole lot.

Plus a lot of the new hairstyles we got feel like they clip a lot or that it wasn’t really all that much to choose from. Blood elf female got a freaking tiara tied to a nice hairstyle they received and it ruins the whole thing, another pixie cut, bald or a male blood elf hairstyle. Lol

Other races got even less than that.

I hope that the work they did for the characters leads to them being able to push out more options easily but they make a hairstyle in their game seem like a huge new feature or something.

I wouldn’t expect anything related to better and new customizations during Shadowlands, but Blizzard could have talked about its intentions to make more of them in the future during the last and frustrating Blizzcon.

Worgen also received some good additions but it remains very little.

Because of orc inbreeding, most of you look the same. Same with some other races.

Honestly Lightforged Draenei are the absolute worst with that issue.

Allied races are a whole nother can of worms

just wear cool helmet instead

I am sure Blizzard will eventually add customizations to all races, but i am also sure that they focus on most played races first.

Let’s see. We have real life customization options for humans. I wonder why humans got so many options?

Also, orcs have the most options numerically, if I remember correctly. Customization for like every single type of orc minus one or something? That’s what I’ve heard.

Favoritism of any race is not going to feel fair when every single race save human is quite literally getting the proverbial redheaded stepchild treatment.

You sure about that, Orc males have the largest amount of combinations

Male orc is the race with the most combinations possible, the contest isn’t even close; female orc is also one of the races with the most combinations.
You’re barking at the wrong tree.

I mean, I agree with you, but orcs literally have more possible customization combinations than any other race, if IIRC. Followed by night elves.
