Nah, druids of the pack had different posture, less bipedal and more quadrupedal. They’d be pretty easy to spot.
With the introduction of the Vulpera, there is no such thing as an allied race for a core race. Besides, a Night Elf Worgen would be a Night Elf AR, which already exists in the Nightbourne.
Worgen. Tail. Pet. Wag.
Uh, actually the Vulpera are the Goblin one. Same model rig.
Yes, but Vulpera are not Goblins. Kelfin are Goblins, but sand foxes are not.
This is correct. It’s a completely viable and totally sensible decision to give night elf worgen as the worgen AR.
AR’s are not absolute 1:1’s. Nightborne are not 1:1 of blood elves which is who recruited them. The only stipulation is a skeleton / rig that can be modified must exist. And in the case of Kul Tirans, they didn’t even need that. They’re a brand new model entirely.
Let’s not pretend Vulpera aren’t furry Goblins.
Not if they can’t shift forms. That could be part of their thing, easily.
Agreed, Worgen AR’s two-forms would shapeshift it back into a Night Elf instead of a Human, but the race is considered “Worgen” not “Gilnean” or “Cursed Human.”
Vulpera are not Goblins. You can’t even argue that point, they are two entirely separate races, and with their inclusion Blizzard has completely thrown out the idea that every AR would be tied to a core race.
The sky is literally the limit now.
Actually the amount of makeover they did for that race is quite extensive, aside from the rig itself there’s really not a lot of commonality between the two, so “furry goblins” is only slightly more fair than calling Goblins “green Gnomes.”
Like the savagekin? Wait a second… those are completely untapped, they were like druids who spent too much time in their forms and lost control and had the animals taken over. A savagekin worgen /nelf Allied race that merged between the wild forms enough to grow tails and savage fur might work, possibly with say Tyrande and the Darkshore/gilnean event taken to further limits as they could say, go recover a lost forgotten tribe of Archmage Arugal in seeking of the vengence using the same rituals as last time… But perhaps keeping them more wild and having more violent racials than a 40% run away racial for a ‘scary werewuff’
Correct. This is the easiest way to get worgen with tails if night elf worgen actually possessed tails. Taking the word for it, this would keep the integrity of established lore on both fronts while providing people with a different / modified worgen form that could come with new posture, tails, new fur, new eyes, etc. It makes complete sense.
AGAIN, I don’t see why they can’t add both. Not like they haven’t retconned every 3rd factoid in this god-fosaken universe.

Don’t encourage more of it.
Blizzard: Yeah, the Worgen curse mutates in Shadowlands. They can have tails now, that is all.
Is that good enough for you?
At this point adding tails to Worgen would be far and away one of their least damning retcons, and it’d add some fun to some peoples’ play experience, so I’m actually for it.
Fighting the retcons at this point is a fool’s errand, may as well try to make sure they’re aimed right.

I didn’t say they couldn’t though. I said that I wasn’t interested.
It really makes no difference to me is all. I just want more customization options in general for my doggos.

I disagree, simply because it’s far more front-and-center to the game than most of their other retcons, since it targets players’ models.

In an optional way that many players of the affected models would enjoy.

Yeah, when you actually start to look at some of the racial retcons over the years, the idea of Worgen having tails is so minimal as to be a non-issue.
Honestly Nelf Worgen as a Worgen AR would be understandably viable option as the Worgen AR rather than Nelf, esp since Worgen are only Worgen in a majority of content and never truly ‘Gilnean’. By that logic they’d just be a human AR really 
. Regardless of that, they were indeed stuck in NElf form, but I’d imagine if they were to come into the game - something I wanted before Gilnean worgen - it’d probably be so they could go in and out of form esp since they were a bit savage after trapped in worgen form.
Regardless, I also think fighting retcons is still a good idea. Having to keep up with mountains of retcons isn’t fun for anyone, and if you’ve become complacent with their storytelling and retcons then that sets the bar very low for blizzard, letting them get away with a lot.
