How come noone is considering mechagoblins as a counter race to mechagnomes

[Nihilist74]

I would be happy if they made a race of goblins that you could get off their island and go level somewhere else.

Honestly? Because gnomes need a “rule of cool” boost and goblins don’t.

Among other reasons that others have mentioned.

Gnomes are far more interesting. Goblins are just typical greedy race, gnomes are hyper advanced engineers.

I mean, mechagnomes are a silly and terrible race to start with. Why make it even worse?

i know this sounds like an ass pull and there arent any junkergoblins in the game right now (there werent any void elves ingame before they were announced as an allied race), but how come noone considered mechagoblins as an allied race counterpart to junkergnomes (if they ever do become an allied race) instead of the vulpera

Aren’t goblins a variation of trolls through a long series of evolution? Idk where I heard that but it’s something I remember seeing.

That's just it. That's the reason. Because it would be an ass pull.
Void elves were an ass pull as well and we've seen and still currently see how controversial a topic that is.

Yet they are the most popular allied race, hence we can assume they sold a good amount of pre-purchases. Maybe an ass-pull is exactly what the business needs.
(don't get me wrong, I am not dellusional enough to think that robot goblins sell as well as hot elves)

Kajagoblins ?

I am pretty sure Blizzard does consider goblin Suramar with kaja'mite and new goblin species for some future expansion.

[Syegfryed]

because they don't exist at all...

if they do a subrace for goblins it will be the fish goblins from nazjatar.

That's my point. Gnomes love science for science sake. Goblins love science because it helps them create nifty machines that can cut down trees faster, produce things faster, which give them more money. I can't see them replace limbs just to reach technological perfection. It's not them.

They could replace limbs for money.

Technically also Kelfin.

Kelfin could be.
