People really have problem with female DK or DH versions? I don't see an issue with it, more ways to play however people like it in this ''reforged'' version.
I find it pretty weird to be mad about such thing.
This metaphore was more like sarcasm. :P
I personally don't care about little things like that and when it comes to tattoos im okay with both versions.
If i like the model from upside down or a little zoomed in then im okay with it, i just find it weird when people really go apeshit over things like that.
And about changing like you said unimportant lore i don't know, maybe there's a reason for that and they want it to be like that going forward.
In WoD grom also had model changed, in my opinion for the better when it comes to overall model and build, but it was a split between 40/40% and 20% that didn't give a f when it comes to vocal group of people on the internet that said something about this topic.
It's second or third time they didn't added the right foots for Trolls, i doubt it's just a little mistake they did once, they added it back in in WoW for zandalari trolls because some group of people asked for it but as a single texture that looks ugly, i feel like they sooner or later force that change to their liking.
