They really aren’t.

9 out of 11 male Earthen hairstyles are balding/receding.

8 out of 13 male Velf hairstyles are balding/receding.

I tried to post images but it’s being uncooperative.

Yeah they’re just standard racial hair styles. Not everyone is going to have human hair exactly. I know the racial hair styles you are talking about. they each have a couple balding ones, not the majority, not even close.

But even taking as a hypothetical that they were, you are on the forums whining about this nothingburger. Woe that you would ever develop a real problem.

Imagine being UPSET that there are hairstyles you don’t like in a 20 year old game. DOn’t play the game if you don’t like it. Whining on here is so actually pathetic.

If you wanted to do this right, you should have actually just posted it as “Hey! There should be fuller hair styles for every race” and see if you could get an unignorable bandwagon going.

I literally just posted the numbers for you. And I posted 4 out of 9 of the ones for Earthen.

All I’m hearing is, “I was wrong, don’t want to admit it, so I’ll just make stuff up and act condescendingly dismissive because I can.”

So now you’ve also resorted to gaslighting? lol

  1. I’m not whining. Nowhere have I even remotely come close to whining.
  2. I never claimed it was some huge, dramatic issue. Not once, nowhere. I’m simply giving some knowledge and posting pics in a thread.
  3. I’m already disabled and taking care of an elderly mother, plus had a cancer scare with her and my hubby. Don’t talk to me about real world problems. Which also has zero to do with chatting about something that was noticed in a game.
  4. I’d say you might want to act a tad bit more mature, but apparently that’s going to be a challenge for you.

Have a better night.

You don’t know what gaslighting is if you think that I am doing it. You need to mature. I’m SOOOO sorry you had to see a race whose hairline is naturally further back. If you wanted to play an MMO without people who have hairlines that IF THEY WERE HUMAN would look receeding you picked the wrong game. Do not complain 20 YEARS after launch in the forums. You are acting like you’re Perez Hilton and you saw a rat on the streets of new york. Yeah they live there.

You’re the only one who got offended and nasty here. None of my posts were even remotely close to whatever nonsense you just tossed out to troll with. It’s 9 lousy posts. Half of which were joking around with others about silly stuff. Nothing anywhere was what you claim. Also: I’m not the OP of this thread.
So maybe calm down and just chill next time you’re proven incorrect. You don’t get any more of my time, kiddo. :wave:

You keep just saying that I am wrong and also just trolling while ignoring my argument. These hairstyles are standard for these races. They aren’t all balding. They just have different hair. Just like how dwarven women are well-established in almost all fiction to have beards. Different races have different hair. I don’t understand why this concept is hard to get.

I am normally not this mean on the forums, but this deserved it. I have a very visceral reaction to people complaining about nothing at all or too many choices or too much freedom. I held back SOOO much more I wanted to say.

Yes. I love skinny wrists with large hand veins. A man’s hands are one of the first things I notice. :rofl::woman_shrugging:t4:

Balding helps accentuate the beard/mustache visually.

Bald guy here.

Not really sure why this needed a topic.

Side note, my troll is also bald underneath this hood.

maybe because its a common male problem.

thats my hands to a tee.

This is literally what everyone does on the forums, this is what the forums are made for lmao.

Squeaky wheel gets the grease, lots of things in the game came about as a result of sufficient player whining.

Only doing male because this is going to be stupid enough as it is (and I’m also going to give you the default ‘bald’ options, despite it not being the same as ‘balding’):

Race Balding Total Race Balding Total
Human 4 26 Orc 4 18
Dwarf 7 22 Forsaken 6 21
Night Elf 1 17 Troll 3 18
Gnome 3 18 Blood Elf 1 21
Kul Tiran 2 6 Goblin 22 22
Void Elf 2 13 Nightborne 5 16
Dark Iron 3 8 Mag’har 1 8
Earthen 5 11 Zandalari 4 12
Draenei NA NA Tauren NA NA
Worgen NA NA Highmountain NA NA
Mechagnome NA NA Vulperan NA NA
Lightforged NA NA
Dracthyr NA NA Pandaren NA NA

If anyone tries to claim that there’s an overabundance of “bald” or “balding” characters in the game… Get help. The mere existence of some bald or balding hairstyles doesn’t automatically mean there’s an overabundance of it.

Furthermore, calling the mere existence of bald or balding hairstyles an “obsession” … that says A HELL A LOT about you, and not anything about anyone else.

I wonder why, because it is almost like if someone went through each and every single one of the (male) hairstyles available to the player, it would show that what you or the OP of this thread is saying is categorically wrong.

You haven’t been mean at all. What you have been is entirely fair.
Sendryn is usually reasonable, but sometimes something about them just makes them stick their head in the ground and just goes “my way or the high way” to the extent where they start accusing people of gaslighting people and more.

The mere idea that some folks care this much about something so irrelevant is just… why…? Even going to the extent of accusing non-gaslighting folks for gaslighting.

… make stuff up that isn’t true and look like a fool whilst doing so?
Nah’, that’s more of a you thing. You and other forum contrarians.

quite a few races have hairstyles with bad receding hairlines
