It is a bad idea. Let's not promote unhealthy characters.

Cause running hundreds of miles on Azeroth with heavy armor, weapons and bags builds and requires a fit athletic body.

If blizzard would do this I would go straight to RP server and make Fat Gnomes and Dwarfs guild. These players would never make it to lvl60 because they would die of heart disease.

We already have fat pandas and the upcoming kultirans. Originally Posted by lummiuster

Some races are designed to have a certain body type and wouldn't look like that race anymore if they looked different. Try to picture fat Elves or thin Pandaren. Originally Posted by Schmilblick

Making body types effectively means making extra models, so it would exponentially increase the number of player models. Not a good idea. Originally Posted by Aetherina

As long as they're actual new models similar to KT humans, then I'm all for it. I'll pass on body sliders though, they're an absolute shit excuse for customization in most games (especially MMOs) that use them and I'm thankful WoW has stayed away from them.

There's only so much weight that the 2nd floor of the inn in Goldshire can handle. Having more Cosmo cover girls in it is not a good idea.

Most likely due to engine limitation, as well as a design choice that wasn't considered important. I mean, then you might as well ask about short or tall as well. Originally Posted by Schmilblick

One of the reasons I used to steer clear of male characters until the nightborne was because they all look like body builders. It just doesn't make sense for a mage to have such giant muscles, like Arnold from the 80s. If there were a way to customize them to be less bulky, I'd probably play one. Well, if the human male's voice wasn't so annoying.

The Thin Humans would look great as spellcasters.

Panda is another story (they are healthy and fat like bears). But we should not push it to other characters. They will do it for kultirans which is not a good idea. Originally Posted by Schmilblick

I don't think I would make much sense lorewise for a hero who is constantly making physical effort to be fat

What about a mage who generally just stands around casting spells, never lifting a single thing? Originally Posted by Pomorghon
