Just one thing. you smart people arent like basing yourselves on the NPCs we see on the ToT Raid and isle of Thunder, right? I mean, those NPCs will always be big, even if they are gnomes. Just look at Tempest Keep Blood Elves who are literally twice as big as normal Blood Elves
I mean, it could be that Zandalari Trolls aren't as big as you thought, and you were just thinking the race was going to be as big as the raid bosses lul
I want my ZAndalari to be as tall as those Mo Fo's in ToT, work it Blizzard!
but seriously right now they have plenty of time to make the models taller, which I sincerely hope they do.
Tom'Cruz will be my Zandalari's name

Really? That seems so strange and alien to me, but of course I am the Red Shirt Guy of trolls, so maybe that's why having upright Zandalari shorter than hunched over Darkspear trolls is just not cool. Not cool to me at all. It's weird.
"Hello! We are the Zandalari, the shortest, smallest trolls on Azeroth!" Did you see their armor too? It looked like a kid wearing his dad's shirt. lol
Haha, glad I'm not the only one with concerns about the Zandalari height, considering I did some extensive research to figure out it's around 10'+ (yeah I'm the guy who documented it on Gamepedia, am proud xd). Made a post about it myself, even tried to get the question asked on Q&A but no luck there so I went to the forums instead.
I've just been hoping for now that it's a "in development" thing as people have pointed out, we're far from the expansion release so hopefully it'll be corrected during that time. :'(

Short Zandalari Trolls are fine. They already have the biggest plus over the Darkspear Trolls and that is upright posture. No need to give them every advantage in the book or else no one will roll Darkspear.
When we looked at the relics of the precursors, we saw the height civilization can attain.
When we looked at their ruins, we marked the danger of that height.

Blizzard can do whatever they want with the lore. If they can pull Void Elves out of thin air, then short Zandalari is really not a problem.
Just because you are excited for Zandalari doesn't mean you get to have everything that the Darkspear have AND upright posture. Sorry but that's not how balance works.
Now you get a choice. Want big imposing trolls? Roll Darkspear. Want upright trolls? Roll Zandalari.

I don't mind if Zandalari trolls are a bit shorter than Darkspear, but male Zandalari should still be taller than female Darkspear.
