This is a continuation of another forum post I did a month ago for belf players. And for this one I’m going to ask all Human players (The race)
Do you guys dislike being a cool Orc? Or a undead freak of nature? Or even a gnome! Why be a boring human?
Funny answers are appreciated!
(The forum in question I made)
says the OP playing an obese human
Some people like to play a roleplaying game viewing their character as some fantasy version of themselves. People are human, often their fantasy version of themselves is also human.
I just recently realized last night that I have now trended towards male Velfs/Belfs for my characters. Or Dracthyr.
It used to be female Nelfs and Belfs and Draenei.
I’m not sure why I changed my preferences for characters. Could be because I stopped roleplaying, so those character stories have collected dust. Or I just dislike melee classes on female characters. Since most of my characters this expansion are melee.
Hmm. I shall have to ponder this. 
Why not? We rock.
I still laugh at the lord of the rings joke, 20 years later
Yeah, Mass Effect is one of my favorite RPG series. I wouldn’t want to be any of the other races in its universe.
I like humans for the same reasons I like gobs: They’re flexible. You can play one as serious or as silly as you want!
They also have normal life spans instead of the near infinity other races have, so things accomplished during their lifespan feels more impactful.
Then they can retire and tell them young whippersnapping adventurers how they have it so easy nowadays.
I went human just so i could use this name.
This is sort of why I prefer certain classes that don’t have an extreme theme to them. When I make a warrior, hunter, monk, etc I feel like I can take them in many directions for theming, personality, style, etc. Whereas classes like death knight or demon hunter are very one dimensional and defined. I’ve never thought about races that way, but I can see it now that you say it.
Humans Paladins are peak Warcraft lore, as well as being better able to imagine myself in my character’s place.
My only “Human” character is a half elf, and only because they’re aren’t enough normal elves to be every class.
I have many characters.
Quasi obese.
huh…I think I found a new Alt name lol
Some people want a self insert and playing a human is that insert into the fantasy world. Sure it’s not the most imaginative thing ever, but if it makes the player happy, let them be happy.
Some of us prefer human for the mogs mostly.
Some races look terrible in most mogs imo.
I actually had this mentality for Humans for a long time. They were just boring and in a lot of ways still are. BUT, some armors just looks better on human than others. Paladin for example looks best on Humans imo. Taurens wearing pally armor has always looked so dumb to me with how their heads just poke out.
But on the opposite side, humans look so dumb in hunter armor. They look like guys who go and buy mall katanas while wearing fedora’s.
Imagine trying to RP as an undead… what would I even say to other players?
I was never interested in playing a human until Kul Tirans came around. The regular humans just didn’t fit how I wanted them to look, which is the bears we got with Kul Tirans. 
I’d assume some people like to relate to their characters to some degree.
I’ve always liked the whole “human in a foreign setting” type of thing myself.
