    Because orcs, minotaurs and zombies are innovative and interesting

    Compared to humans/dwarves/elves/halflings/werewolves, yes.

    The Sethrak are based on the Female Worgen rigging and all, animations, etc. The Vulpera are built on the Goblin's rigging and animations. This could be because rather than -just- focusing on the Worgen and Goblins to do the refit, the Devs started out on the Sethrak and Vulpera to create something "New" and then remodel Goblins and Worgen on the redone rigging/model.

    Which would be kind of amazing and could lead to Sethrak Alliance Characters which would make me squeal in delight.
    Yeah I like that idea. It could also work as a compromise for people who want a serpentine race (Naga), in the same way that burly kultirans are sort of a compromise for people who want a giant humanoid race (vrykul).
    The Sethrak already look really cool, and they have painted on eyes still. If they become playable, we will see a similar update as we saw for the vulpera.

    The only thing bugging me is that both os these races are in Zandalar. I'd think that the alliance would get 2 from kultiras and the horde 2 from zandalar ... but who knows.

    Side note. I remember there being some issues about Zandalari models being pretty small. Any more information about that?

    They're all part of Fantasy worlds so they aren't bad by default, just recognizable. This argument is silly.

    So elves are bland, but orc are cool. I see the bias.

    I don't think WoW has ever had a powerful DNA. Even if men in black were sent to your house, someone would still leak info

    TBH Thin humans look super ugly. I hope they change that, and I don't even play alliance. Straighten them out a bit

    Aren't they about as tall as the darkspear are when hunched over? If so, then yeah... considering the darkspear would be a bit taller when standing up straight I would say they are smaller.

    Sethrak have Nictating Membranes instead of eyelids. You can see them when they sleep.
    When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like injustice.

    blizz makes some questionable decisions sometimes but i doubt they are stupid enough to give the alliance 2 human races on top of 2 human races.








    ... or are they?

    Elves are bland in that they are, along with Humans, the "default pick". You may have your own reasons, but many pick them simply to have a character that portrays either them or their vision of a strong/powerful human (how they see themselves, or how they want to be)

    And that's not bad per se, and I don't think I'm "cooler" for preferring Tauren characters. It's just, like, my opinion. WoW was the first RPG I played that allowed me to pick a non-Human/Elf/Dwarf player character, so I jumped at the opportunity, and that helped shape this preference.

    I prefer savage races like Tauren and Trolls, up to the point where transmogging them is beyond cringe and you have to pick a basic bitch race for a mog to even remotely look good.
    Which is why I'm insanely stoked for upright orcs and zandalari.
