    It's cosmetic, they've already done that with mounts and pets (excusing their pet battle functions).

    Meh, not much use to Undead "subraces" if they'll have the exact same faces of normal Undead...

    Neither of those things will happen. They are quite aware of the backlash that would take place should they go down that road if nothing else. Just look at what happened to transmog items on the store, or when they were planning on adding the Grove Warden to the store in WoD.

    IDK think they are sort of different as not permanent such as a skin that will be seen all the time.

    You can transfer gold these days into account balance. So they could use that to justify it.

    Justify =/= the backlash wouldn't be too huge to handle. I'm called "fanboy" by shits on these forums regularly and I'd be seriously pissed off should Blizzard take that route. Mounts and pets are one thing, we have those in spades from in-game sources. Lootboxes awarding unique things + relevant gear though? Locking an expansion feature like Subraces behind it? Nah.

    Couldn't these races just be set up to be varied NPCs so they can wear player gear and have a wider variety of looks. It could very well be that we will just find a village of Naga thats a neutral reputation

    Except for Trolls, who have fur but can only change hair color.

    Very interesting stuff. I always thought if they were ever going to add sub-races it would have to be as a main expansion feature and if these leaks hold any truth it seems that's finally coming true. The character select backgrounds are probably the most telling part. The seeming neutrality of these races is strange though, Draenei being in the Horde would make little sense while Tauren in the Alliance does make some, but I believe these to be sub-races with the Nightborne being the Night Elven sub-race and Void Elves being the Blood Elven counterpart. Some major lore needs to happen with Alleria before that makes sense though. Maybe it'll happen in the book.

    Also Before the Storm is clearly leading into the South Seas expansion, finally. I was always in support of Nagas as a playable race but I doubt it'll happen now that they're going to be the expansion villain and probably create a huge storm in an attempt to drown the world.

    I hope they're not neutral. I can't see Lightforged Draenei walking around in Orgrimmar, it's too unfitting. Same for Highmountain Tauren walking around in Stormwind.

    To be honest, the race I wanna see more than any sub-race, would be playable Hozen, they were really cool during MoP
