Well, people did say they didn't believe Dracthyr were real. That they looked too much like a reskin and that the concept didn't fit WoW at all. So...

I'd still attribute the start of the Legion's technological shift to TBC, with their addition of turrets and Fel Reavers, but the jump to spaceships in Legion definitely makes you scratch your head. It's a similar feeling you get with the constant question of "why didn't the Vindicaar stomp the Horde in BfA?" or why people are still using swords and bows when fully functional machine guns exist that reminds you that the high tech stuff typically isn't front and center for an extended period of time for a reason.

Presentation is probably a bigger deal over functionality for most people anyways. Gnomish and goblin tech can be leaps and bounds above modern technology, but the thrown together, barely functional nature of the presentation helps ground it. The more you can ease the dissonance between the disparate elements of your setting, the better.

I mean in WC3 the Humans had mortars, choppers and tanks, literal 20th century technology and yet Orcs had no problem fighting them with their most high-tech unit being a catapult and their highest-tier unit being a minotaur smacking people with a totem. Same for Night Elves for whom the war machine was a ballista which could be found during Roman times. And WC2 had naval combat front and center, including submarines and everyone built oil rigs, despite the rest of their forces otherwise using standard medieval armaments like bows, lances and axes.

Technology in Warcraft has always been a mess, such that nobody bats an eyelash to a shirtless Tauren beating the crap out of an exosuit armored with missiles and lasers, or a dude with a magic sword diving on a skyscraper-sized demonic robot and one-shotting it. As others also said, there's often magic involved in the whole thing, especially for the most advanced stuff like Draenei and Legion ships and war machines. The whole thing is a huge kitchen sink of random ideas and Blizzard has obviously no intention of changing that anytime soon.

That doesn't sound very sensible. We already know Elune is a Life-aligned being that is considered a "Sister" by the Winter Queen, so that story makes no sense.

My vote is on total bogus.

Well there is the whole "the vassal of life disguises treachery" thing though I dunno if I'd consider Elune a vassal of life.

Anyway what makes me more amused is the idea of another branch of tauren who just so happen to have set up home there.

I better hope not... I like Dwarf lore because it is very interesting, but Moon Dwarves sounds like the most gimmicky thing possible.

I'd be upset if we'd get "Moon Dwarves" way before we get Frost Dwarves from Northrend.

It could also refer to Alexstraza, she is the Lifebinder and the old god that Tyr fought did say that "she would one day betray him like the other Aspects."

Anyway what makes me more amused is the idea of another branch of tauren who just so happen to have set up home there.

I'm gonna bet that if there's such a thing as "Moon Tauren" they will look more like stags (more close to resembling Malorne) rather than moose, bulls, bison, or yaks... Not as muscular as Tauren and more elegant looking beastmen.

And someone will name their Moon Tauren, "Post Malorne"

If anything, she's a lord of Life, not a vassal. Still wouldn't make much sense for her to be on or tied to Avaloren anyway.

Community: "how many more dwarves and taurens do we need?"
Blizzard: "yes"

"As many iterations as we have of elves!"

"Oh boy, we have a long road ahead of us."

"Oh boy, we have a long road ahead of us."

Pretty sure dwarves are already fairly close to that.

i think dwarves are ahead at this point. there is another variant mentioned in dragonflight

[Yarathir]

I heard tell that a new form of elf is born into this world every time one of the existing elf offshoots sneezes.

Yeah I'm not backing the idea, just throwing it out there.

A type of tauren that is more than just a new head slapped on the old body would be nice at least.

If anything, she's a lord of Life, not a vassal. Still wouldn't make much sense for her to be on or tied to Avaloren anyway.

Yeah, like I said I don't see her as vassal. And I generally agree though I did point out before how odd it is for Elune to seemingly have a connection to a lot of things at this point.

Don't scare me like that :,(

You're a bit late to the party. That was a really bad attempt at making Iridikron, though.

I’m not late to anything. I posted a tweet of a “better quality image” of the “supposed leak” from a week or two ago. Then, I said “if only”. As in, I wish it were real. When it comes to WoW, I am very alert and up to date.
