How do u know that was changed and wasn't already plan to give a choice in that situation?
The playerbase is just quick to yell wolf about everything even if its unfinished horde does it but the Alliance is 100x worse always crying horde bias for any reason they can find
Horde complain too. But the devs respond to them. Which is why it always looks like Alliance 'cry' longer and louder than Horde ever do. It really only ever takes one-three forums posts for Horde ptr content to change--> which is literally what happened with the Saurfang questline.
It takes the notoriety of red-shirt guy to write a insanely detailed and well argued blog post to get the Tyrande & Nathanos fight changed to be reasonable. and again, we've been complaining that Alliance was always portrayed as incompetent losers since war of the thorns.
The bias and contempt Blizzard shows for half their fans. I as an Alliance Player want balance. Maybe fix our Racials for all races not just one or two? Have them all on Pair. Good God look what we Gnomes have for racials. They're a joke.
Escape Artist. Let's see I can get out of being rooted. But Everyman for himself handles roots, stuns, fears..
Escape artist is just a crap version of Everyman for himself.
What else do we have. Oh we have Engineering Specialization. An extra 15 Engineering skill points.
The profession skill point Racials. They all suck. There's no exclusive Engineering recipe that needs those extra skill points. It's just extra leveling at max level engineering. That's not useful or beneficial.
Expansive Mind. An extra 5 points to our mana bar. That's real useful. Also the description is misleading. Gnome Death Knights don't have extra Runic power in their bar, Or Gnome rogues have extra energy.
This only pertains to the mana bar. And it's barely a boon of any kind.
The only active Gnome Racial is a weaker version of a Human Racial. And the others are all boring passives that don't really benefit. Or have such a slight benefit for very specific class and weapon choices.
Let's compare with Goblins. Aka the Horde's version of Gnomes.
Better Living Through Chemistry. It's the same thing as the Engineering Specialization but for Alchemy. So Goblins have it just as bad as Gnomes?
Haha yeah right!
Best Deals Anywhere they get a 10% discount on all vendor bought items. This is based on percentage. Meaning the more expensive the buy the more gold they save. It costs a Goblin player thousands of Gold less to buy that shiney Prestious mount then a Gnome player. For the same thing. THAT is far more tangible.
Pack Hobgoblin so they can always summon a bank teller anywhere any time.
Rocket Barrage while a weak attack it's a hell lot more tangible then any of the "Racials" Gnomes got.
Rocket Jump an Goblin Sprint. Come on.
Half the Gnome racials only apply to some of the classes we can play. And the other racials only work with certain weapons we pick. All Goblins can benifit from Rocket Jump, Rocket Barrage and Pack Hobgoblin.
I mean. Why not a Racial where the Gnome summons an Robot to fight for them for a lil bit? Give it a decently long CD so it's not too OP. Is that so hard.
It's not just Gnomes. Pick any Alliance race and compare the racials to a Horde Race.
More often then not we either got useless Racials, Boring Racials. Or Boring and useless Racials.
