As I and several others have mentionned several times before, gnomes are ones of the least developped and most underexploited races in World of Warcraft and its medias. Not only they are often absent from the main Alliance story or the overall plot, and their quest to reclaim and repopulate their home of Gnomeregan has been kept in the fridge for ages, but they are almost always used as comic relief and most of their most advanced and formidable inventions are used only in their own or the mechagnomes subplots.
The serious and tragic sides of their story and people such as their defense against the Old Horde's invasion, the terrible loss of their home, as well as an immense portion of their people, as well as the terrible betrayal of Sicco Thermaplugg, and Gelbin Mekkatorque's guilt are also rarely shown and mostly used in short stories such as Gelbin Mekkatorque's leader story "Cut Short", or in Chronicles.
How would you like the developpers and writers of Blizzard to better explore their lore and use the gnomes ? To have them play a true role in the Alliance story and greater plot, and to create or developp some genuinely deep and serious lore for the gnomes ?
