I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks this is weird. But I guess anybody can pretty much summon or make a pact with a demon.

You seem to be making a direct connection to desperation and Warlocks as if thats the only reason a race ever follows that path Skittex. Whereas as I said more often than not its a desire for power, not desperation.
I’m not saying that desperation isn’t a reason, but it is not the only reason.
No Zandalari that were outcasted resorted to dark magics?
Still mad about that, Zandis should 100% be able to be locks.

I was also very confused about the classes listed for both Vulpera and Mechagnomes. Warlock for either race doesn’t fit at all, though I guess it fits a little more-so for gnomes. Priest also doesn’t fit for either race, and honestly mage doesn’t fit for Vulperas. Mages are supposed to be a studious class, learning their spells through study and practice. Vulperas going to magic school doesn’t make any sense to me. It’s an odd lineup, to be sure.
No, I am so sick of them pandering to the Horde. Vulpera deserve to be rogue, warrior, mage, shaman, druid, and that is it.
They are not hardcore or metal enough to be warlocks.

Ok lets put this another way. Zandalari are extremely religious right? The Loa are extremely prevalent throughout their society, but no loa embrace the fel. Each Zandalari follows a path almost religiously from a very young age. We know there were Zandalari warlocks in the past, from the mobs and enemies in the game. There have been two world invasions by demons in the past, and assumingly Zandalar was also hit by the burning legion at some point. The religious society that Zandalari run, would have saw this, and probably doubled down on their religious teachings, embracing the loas path even further. Creating a cultural cleansing of sorts. I’m not saying this is what happened, but its an educated guess based on my knowledge of the lore. Vulpera learning some things from former Zandalari don’t seem that farfetched. Desperation will temper people to do anything, and vulpera don’t seem to have any reservations about demons.
Warlocks are typically cultural pariahs if they are incompatible, so the foundation of this argument doesn’t justify them not being able to become warlocks.

Desperation in the vulperas case absolutely. Desperation = a desire to rectify that desperation no? To get out of the literal hell surrounding you. two sides of the same coin.
The Loa also forbid following multiple pathways outside of Gonk. So Druids shouldnt be a thing for them under that line of logic. Not to mention this comment
I WOULD agree with you. But again, the reason Blizzard gave for the Zandalari not being Warlocks. Is they did not deal with a Demon Invasion, ever. Is that true? I don’t think so but that’s the reason we were given.
So your scenario is a made up one, because what we are told contradicts it.
Were there no Zandalari on other continents during the invasion? No clashes with the Zandalari fleet?
What about the other troll refugees on zandalar? I’m sure the tales of their homes being destroyed by towering infernals causes a little bit of a ruckus. What about troll warlocks from other tribers?
This is pretty stupid, tbh. I wasn’t aware they could be warlocks.
I’m not sure why people are seeing this a favoritism considering I had thought warlocks were just the less played version of mages
Zandalari warlocks please. And thank you
If I remember correctly it was something about them not really taking to allowing Warlocks around due to stigmas with demon summoning and the like.
Mechanic wise it was probably to prevent them from having every single class type that’s not a hero class, don’t think there’s a single race that get ALL of the base races. It also seems to be that the base race or the AR of it tend to mix the classes up a bit and offer one or two classes the other doesn’t probably for variety sake.
But, unless I missed them, there are zero examples of any magic using Vulpera in game barring I believe shamans. Yet Vulpera can be all 3 clothies.
I just don’t understand how EVERY new race has been allowed to be monks yet neither of the Cataclysm races can.

I believe the Vulpera can be Warlocks and Mages because of their overall theme. They are extremely crafty and quick learners to be able to survive and thrive, they likely picked up on the tricks of Alliance magic users coming into their zone and burning their stuff down every few days for months on end.
I imagine in a more in-depth look at them their mages are less refined and more on the line of “Oooh what does this do!? WOW, that was GREAT, ill have to remember that one!”
Vulpera superior!
That excuse wasn’t a good one and we all knew it was a bad one and it wasn’t right. It was just something someone said while being incorrect here on the forums.
The proper reason is because Zandalari are purists, and while the fel might be alright for other members of the Horde, within Zandalari culture, it might be seen as heresy.
Vulpera have no such obligation to anyone.
I’m sure Loas don’t like Fel and zandalars are too connected with Loas to offend them with this unholy energy!
