They had no presence in the expansion whatsoever. That’s why.

Yeah … but I’m not taking them off the table as possibilities either. If the Kul Tirans really are meant to be the GILNEAN AR, then I think chances are just a little bit higher that we might see a Calia Brand AR for the Alliance at the very least. Not sure what to make of the Undead NEs (beyond the fact that assets have been devoted to them, with ZERO payoff so far).
On the other hand, aesthetically, I could get behind the “Light” Undead if Blizz based them off of the Light Undead of other Fantasy settings (essentially, they’re Sun Empowered Mummies … and Calia IS wearing a ton of bandages). I could also aesthetically get behind Undead Elves if they were based off the Nightfallen rigs (if there were ANY rigs in the game that were asking for an Undead skin, it would be those things). Narratively both weird me out, but with the right creativity I could get behind them at least in appearance and theme.

More like they sucked the marrow from the boens of the 15yr old lore and need to actually make more. Unfortunately they are kind of bad at that.
Why add any of the bad or unfitting allied races when they could have added Ogres, Forest Trolls, High Elves, or Wildhammer Dwarfs, then?
Actual Warcraft lore exists and is still untapped. Unfortunately, Blizzard would rather create silly alternatives that don’t fit because they’re cute or edgy.

We were set up to get vulpera from the start. Ogres haven’t had a major presence this expansion and currently use models that aren’t based on an existing playable race’s rig, the opposite of vulpera. Don’t act surprised when things that were foreshadowed come true instead of things that weren’t foreshadowed at all.

Honestly, seeing how badly gear fits on fat models I think making ogres work would be a struggle, they would have to remap almost every piece of armor in the game so it wouldn’t clip through the clunky awkward body of an ogre. They probably went vulpera becvause armor is already mapped to the goblin skeleton, its an easy copy-paste as far as that goes.
That’s just my theory, personally think you should get to play any race on the face of azeroth. Always thought it would be neat to introduce non-adventuring races too like grummels having some sort of sub-game that lets them setup shops for you or something.
Because vulpera are sentient and ogres are dumber than bricks.

Your words not mine 
I’m a fan of the concept, and I still wouldn’t play it. Ogres just aren’t my style.
have you talked to the peons you’re slapping around for being lazy in the starter zone? >_>

Yeah, the education system for the orcs is pretty awful honestly. Some of em can barely speak, and some of em are like poets.

Remind me what role Ogres played in BFA again and how they were relevant to BFA?
Also, Ogres deserve to be a full fledged new normal race with their own starting zones instead of an Allied Race.

if it makes ya feel better, i role play this guy here not the brightest…
but he’s smart enough to scrap stuff and sell it.
however, he’s not smart enough that he intentionally or unintentionally ticks off undead, or just slap a magnataur for getting too close to him and run away.

Because the story isn’t permanently in WCII-era stasis like you want it to be.

The Alliance victim mentality on this forum is beyond pathetic.
