Interviewer: "so, are you gonna add more"
Dev: "nah"

there is tons of suggestions about other races, but "that" fanbase just swallow and spam the shit out of the forums

why add more now, when they can fish people and use it as a sell point/feature for the next expansion?
Not really. I like having a good looking transmog/character, but besides the lack of Troll beards I'm honestly fine with what we currently have. That said, I do only play the "ugly" races really so I don't really care for having several hundred choices for hair Maybe I'd notice it more if I played other races, but right now, the only thing I really look at and go "shit I NEED that option" is a bearded Troll.
Like I said, they've done more than enough for me. I wasn't suggesting it was enough for everyone, & if it came across like that, well, I apologise.
Most suggestions for character customization are pure cringe. I don't want tumblr-tier pretty "scars", tattoos and fat body types in my WoW
I'm cool with that, and being happy about the current state is cool too.
However, just subjectively, in 16 years adding a small handful of customization is just slack. They can't even offer every eye colour for the half blind options. It's honestly a joke that they're proud of themselves for something half arsed and I feel not seeing that let's them get away with it.

Its pretty obvious at this point that they are feeling the effects of talent leaving the company. Im sure Morhaime's company down the street is a pretty attractive offer.

Wrong. According to this person whos actually gave feedback and made adjustments to models and added new hairstyles herself, making these changes js actually really simple. "But muh engine" is not an excuse.

The reason WoW does better than most comparable games is not in the last place because it does not do as most of those.
Aesthetical stuff is funny, but a game is ultimately about "functional" stuff for said game.
It'd be like thinking adding endless new player characters and boards to monopoly will keep improving the game and not just drop off gigantically at some point.
This is a signature of an ailing giant, boundless in pride, wit and strength.
Yet also as humble as health and humor permit.
Furthermore, I consider that Carthage Slam must be destroyed.
Its a freaking core feature as one of the selling points... and they have nothing to announce???
Huge dissapointment.. not even kidding.
To me it sounds a lot like "Corporate gone mad" and giving the developers zero creative freedom or ability to work on side-projects that take little to no time to do. I'm starting to realize why a lot of OG's are leaving Blizzard for greener pastures or to create their own studios, it's shit like this, it's becoming increasingly less about the player enjoyment and more about "What can we create for less"

Taken from Mike's new Studio, key words being "freedom", "flexibility" and "individuality", this is what Blizzard lacks these days and it's in part due to Corporate and I wouldn't be surprised if the increasing corporate/shareholder influence is what made Mike decide "Screw it".
I seriously hope all of this outcry forces them to make some changes to their stance and backflip on that statement, ESPECIALLY given the fact they said it was going to be in ongoing development during Shadowlands but I highly doubt it, Corporate always wins out.

They are playing a backward jenga. They do stuff for immediate gain (gold from mission table, new allied races etc) and then try to keep their shit together when the consequence and maintenance of these things start to fall down on them.
