NOT TRUE! I love gnomes. I love seeing their little legs fly up in the air when I one shot them on my Blood Elf mage. Their little bodies bouncing in the air like so much popcorn. Yes, gnomes are fun to kill. I am delighted each time I enter a battleground and can pick out my favorite gnome, set a focus on them and - BOOM - cute little feet in the air and their little round bodies flopping up then down to earth with a plop!
More gnomes - I love em!.
