I already explained that in the original post you quoted.

I mean, true. Everyone should just go horde. But I have a bunch of baby friends that don't want to switch to horde because they're apparently still 13 year olds that think the alliance are the "good guys".
Obviously that applies to things that are meaningless, like having more races for one class when you already have enough. Like people asking for more food when the fridge is full, or asking for more cash when they make plenty. It's called greed. Do you already have many options to make a shaman? Yes you do. Do the players have the option to play in a well balanced population in the game? No they don't.
Call it deflecting all you want, I don't care how wrong you want to sound.
Alliance Shaman
Draenei
Dwarf
Dark iron Dwarf
Pandaren
Kul'Tiran
Horde Paladin
Blood Elf
Zandalari Troll
Tauren
Alliance have 2 x more race options for their class counterparts.
Kul Tirans were Blizzard's answer for all the cries demanding "human shaman" and "human druid". Funny how you ask for "worgen or anything" but have an issue against pandas that they're "furries". You want a cutesy race just make a female draenei.
How is my opinion that shamans should have more alliance races less valid than your opinion that factions are bad for the game? The number of races available is hardly a "the fridge is full and you're asking for more food" situation rofl. Thats the whole point, the fridge is the most empty of any of the fridges.

Hey I'm all for horde getting more paladin races too man.

I never said I have an issue with pandas because their "furries" I'm not even sure why you put quotes around "furries" as if I said that or something lmao.
I specifically said I'm tired of playing literally exclusively fat races or a goat.
You didn't really... At least i dont see anything logically making sense to why gnome hunter doesnt make sense.. You litterally say it, a giant MAN eating pet.. What if human hunters wouldn't keep em happy, or a dwarf hunter.. Whats the difference there? You litterally say MAN eating, male human isnt a man? Dwarf male isnt a man? Again explain.
Its just a dumb argument to why gnome hunter wouldn't make sense.. In my opinion every race/class combination in the game currently, makes sense one way or another.
As it should be for as right now. They should not give class/race combination just to balance it between the factions. Just give the possibility if it makes sense lorewise.

But why would size matter having a pet ON YOUR SIDE and not fighting other mobs where the gnome could fit in 100x? It just doesnt make sense! Yeah gnomes are small, everyone knows that. But in what way would that even matter? Again if you look at the size of a pet, what about warlock then? Gnomes are just as big as the imps, thats it, others demons are bigger than warlock. Still gnomes were able to play warlock since vanilla?
EDIT: If you really think size does matters the way you say it matters, then gnome shouldn't be a playable race at all, neither should a goblin. Which speaking of, do you think goblin hunter do make sense then? What exactly is the difference between goblin and gnome in your opinion in this case?
Also lets be fair and honest, dwarf and dark iron dwarf are the same damn thing.

Bro I don't know how else to say it, I've already explained it. The previous class fantasy around hunters taming pets and keeping them happy, summoning a minion of your own for your own bidding is probably a little different fantasy wise. There's a reason gnomes couldn't be hunters for the first 10 years of the game, and its for the aforementioned reasons, which (again repeating myself) were primarily class fantasy that no longer really exists. Also again, I don't think size matters, and I don't think gnomes shouldn't be hunters. You're getting way too deep into it. My point about gnome hunters was an example as to why they need to lift some other class / race restrictions, it was a dumb restriction to have much like most others at this point in the game.

Well think of it this way. What I'm asking for solves your problem by giving you at least 5 more races to choose from to make shaman, all while solving many other issues currently factually lowering the quality of the game.
My suggestion is objectively more valid than yours even at a mathematical level.
Lmao okay now that we've come full circle on that, I don't disagree with the notion that some form of cross faction play would be good. And yes it solves my (now acknowledged by you) problem of alliance shaman having too few races to choose from.
And then this is when I say (because your claiming objectivity on the matter), okay prove to me 'mathematically' how factions are bad for the game. And don't just quote that more people play horde than alliance and thats causing an imbalance. Prove how thats objectively bad, with facts. I'm expecting some real data, like sub numbers that perhaps correlate directly with the growing faction imbalance etc.
Just use a client side race changer
