Why are female human weapons so oversized?

Small hands.

Looks pretty well balanced to me



Though the funny thing in this picture is what it represents (Yay Ashbringer for everyone!), but yeah maybe the size issue is restricted to a few outliers, rather than a general problem.

Weapon size when sheathed is normal,the thing is when you unsheath the weapon it doubles its size.

Don't put sexism into this, I hate when people use that which is exactly why I find the statement that females wearing oversized weapons being wrong while no one seems to care about males wielding them. so annoying. So shut it with that.

Have you never seen how the weapons inflate when they are unsheathed?
Fact is female humans do have a way disproportionate weapon model.

The picture above looks fine but wait until they draw that weapon, they'd need but to let it fall onto the enemy to win the fight.

The other is the animations... but they are rip in legion.

Oh no , what did they do?
I loved that spinning attack, hope it is still there.

Because they suffer from penis envy and overcompensate for lack of it.

I play female human because of the oversized weapons. Makes my 2-handers look awesome!

No, that is not about fantasy, that's about beeing too incompentent to fix anything in a resonable timeframe.

No need to fix whats not broken. Do you even get that?

The female weapon size is just fine. I quite like seeing females wielding huge swords. Adds to the fun of the game.

Yeah, they just keep bugs in the game until they become a feature, great design.

And how is it not broken when the weapons inflate?

Yeah, they just keep bugs in the game until they become a feature, great design.

And how is it not broken when the weapons inflate?

Do you even get that its fine and doesn't need to be "fixed?"

Sometimes "bugs" become something that players ENJOY and LIKE.

Do you enjoy circular arguments?

Because it's fine and some players, like me, enjoy having a larger weapon. My transmog looks better when complemented by a larger weapon.

There are a LOT of model "issues" currently, like Gnome helm and shoulder sizes or the many many many problems with the Troll models (Ramz has made a mega-thread detailing them all).

[WarTV]

i love how weapons look big on female humans. one question, are the weapons bigger on female human than on male humans ? i cant seem to see any difference between the two.

[Irian]

Why is that?

Likely some sort of old, outdated design. Humans were the first models they made so they were likely trying to make the human female weapons proportionally the same as the male, and messed it up.

Why don't they fix it?

Because, while I've seen countless posts referencing the problem, this is the first one I've ever seen that actually talked about it like it was a negative. Christ, I saw someone on the official forums begging Blizzard not to change it or they'd have to reroll.
Warcraft isn't a super serious or realistic game. Oversized swords and the Rule of Cool are defining features of the franchise. Human females are the queens of absurd, impractical weapon size and a lot of people have actually grown to love that.

In WoW, I always go for the biggest weapon possible. The harder it looks like you will hit, the more you actually hit for. You seem like you need some help at being an elite player so here is a transmog guide to improve your gameplay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59GMKa4-C-0

Every competent PvP player is Human Female and they need larger weapons to assert dominance in the Arena.

Small hands.

Makes it easier to maneuver around tight spaces. Tee-hee!
