I have said that in the threads pertaining to races I think are viable (in response) when people come in with their gilgoblin / jinyu spiels but I really donāt think itās cool to come directly into these petition thread with negativity like āit aināt happeningā.
Vulpera supporters do this all the time. You say right now that none of us know for certain what will happen in the future, but I see Vulpera supporters constantly talking about how certain they are that it will be a playable race. Just have a look at this thread.
And if you take a look at the Gilgoblin discussion thread, you will also notice quite a number of nasty comments coming from people who want Vulpera.
To be fair, though, not to make the Gnomes sound badā¦Iām GLAD theyāre getting some much needed attention. However it is appealing to such a small margin of players that itāsā¦nearly adding to a joke for most, adding even more toxicity from horde players.
And what exactly do you suggest happen? What is the point of having niche races in the game to begin with if they are just going to be swept aside in favor of popular ones? Those who think that races like Goblins and Gnomes shouldnāt get an AR are the same people whoād argue they shouldnāt have been playable to begin with.
