What difference would there be between kul'tirans and other humans?

This is actually quite involved on a technical level. You don't simply scale up or down - that's not how weight/body mass works. Tall people aren't simply factor-scaled versions of smaller people. There's different proportions etc. that would require entirely new model skeletons - with all the armor fitting, animation, etc. to go with it. It's a MASSIVE amount of extra work, far more than adding extra textures or customization doodads like earrings or whatever. It's basically on the level of adding entirely new character models, for every race, for every gender, in multiple versions depending on available body types. That's ludicrous amounts of work.
I guess so it is just out of all the races I don't want to confuse in pvp humans and trolls would be the top 2. Finding out he is running two trinkets or is about to throw out an unexpected knock back off a ledge are nasty surprises.
Different profiles still matter somewhat in pvp. Though I am of the opinion that any combat racial should be removed myself and race made purely cosmetic.
Its definitely weird to me that Kul Tirans are fat, but there are scrawny versions as NPCs, half of the Kul Tirans in game are normal humans, and even the most famous Kul Tiran in game is Jaina, using a normal human model. The body type should have just been a toggle option on humans.
Also theyre weirdly tall.
Also, skinny draenei plz
