Zandalari Troll


The Zandalari are a proud people whose origins date back to the early days of Azeroth's history. Their fierce warriors ride dinosaurs into battle, and they possess one of the most formidable naval fleets in the known world.

    Want the regular human body at all times with the kul tiran accents/racials (one of my pet peeves as a worgen is having to macro /cast Two Forms whenever I /cancelform).

    There are more regular sized Kul Tirans than the large ones, so I don't get why they aren't adding them as a slider.

    Good sign that pretty much every single BFA video has got the same like:dislike ration. Kinda says something if everything you announce gets 3 dislikes for every like - prolly just an entitled and toxic community that doesn't appreciate all the available content.

    What they really said was no new requirements, meaning that you can complete all that is required today already, and most people that played BfA actively will already have it completed. So on the day the patch releases, you can just do the short story quest to unlock them, and make a character.

    Those allied races were advertised on BfA box. Allied races were advertised as feature. Yet it is nothing but time gated nasty trick to string players along for as long as possible. What does grinding rep on one character have to do with playing different character? Nothing.

    This is supposed to be RPG. In RPG characters matter, not accounts. Account-wide unlocking is nasty subscription milking technique. There is no justification for this shit.

    Good old Blizzard that was one of my favourite companies since Warcraft 1 is gone.
    and "words are meningless" is why activision deemed the CMs useless, cause why have them if the fans arnt gunna listen to them anyways.

    So do I. It's fully exposing the toxicity of the player base and making them look like idiots, so I do love that.
