Why do you disike Gnomes and Goblins?

[Skulltaker]

It has recently been brought up that a reason for these races being relativly unpopular (according to 'realmpop.com', EU realms have 2.7% Goblin and 2.4% Gnome pop) is that their representation in game doesn't reflect their lore, or, more specifically, that they don't have a class that represents them well.

So, I wanted to add a poll to see what you think.

They drown in puddles.

[Lorgar Aurelian]

I don’t dislike either the other places just beat them out in terms of coolness to me rather it be because of looks or lore.

[Jujudrood]

They look ridiculous.

[Skulltaker]

Added a poll.

I think gnomes are awesome! Mained one for most of vanilla and part of TBC.

I took the liberty to add an option for that, aswell.

I don't dislike them, but Blizzard should've made some serious Goblin/Gnomes once in a while.

Sometimes it looks like they all have the same quirky personality. We need some actual Gnome menaces! Badass like the Lich King! A Goblin as brutal as Garrosh!

[Teriz]

A multiple choice poll was a bad idea.

Helix Blackfuse?

I feel offended, why can I not dislike Gnomes but love Goblins?!

[Aeula]

I’m okay(ish) with Goblins for the most part. Far from a race I like, but I can tolerate them despite their one-dimensionality.

As for Gnomes... I don’t like their voices, appearance, animations, proportions, lore, personality or faction.

[Lochton]

Helix Blackfuse?

Helix was almost more brutal than Garrosh...

There's enough pretentious faction war ingame, no place for it here. =P

[nToxik]

Other than they do have to swim in some puddles where other classes don't, the closer to the ground camera view on shorter races makes it weird and kind of limiting. Also, transmog can be less visual due to the reduced size.

[Sangris]

I hate Gnomes because I generally dislike cute-sy tiny comic relief races. Especially when they have those high-pitched voices. Add to that the "I'm so adowable and cuddly" mannerisms especially found in female Gnomes and it just makes me want to punch it in the face. The only ones that are even worse are those "I'm-acting-cutesy-but-I'm-actually-a-psycopath-and-want-to-stab-things" type of female Gnomes.

That said, I actually found that a lot of Gnome PLAYERS are rather fun to talk to (though I don't meet that many, since I'm playing almost exclusively Horde).

Goblins are somewhat better, they still suffer from the similarities to the Gnomes but at least they have that greedy merchant shtick that makes me not hate them completely.

Bah!

The Goblinity is the greatest, and Gnomanity shall fall!

[Kokolums]

People love transmog and they are too short to display mog well.

[Thage]

Gnomes are awesome. Especially with all the 90s edge plaguing the story, the gnomes are straightforward and heroic which is refreshing.

[Maljinwo]

Goblins are tolerable. They are the comic relief of the game and as long as they are not taken seriously, they are ok.

Gnomes though... Everything from their voices to their appearance is (in my opinion) annoying and unbearable.
And Mechagnomes are a god forsaken abomination in my eyes

Biased poll. 0/10
Goblins are just result of experimenting on pygmies using brain enhancing drugs, gnomes are glorious mechagnomes created by a titan but unfortunately got cursed by old gods
