    I did look at that expecting Something different once i didnt see any racial abilities i looked to a video and it said this difference is miniscule so here I am short one

    I gotta wonder, where does the stereotype that WoW players love big beast races even come from? Back in vanilla the Horde side was struggling cause people would rather play humans and nightelves on the Alliance side. So they added the blood elves to the Horde to balance things, and it ended up becoming the most popular race. And before blood elves, the scrawny undead were the most popular on Horde side, not tauren or orcs.

    Now as I've said earlier, personally I was mainly playing female tauren and I will be fantaing to femhroth, BUT statistically the majority of WoW players also prefer pretty characters.

    I don't know, WoW has like 4 elf races plus humans and those are the most popular in their respective categories like you said. The runners up are orcs and draenei which are mostly human like Viera, Au Ra or Miqo'te.

    I haven't regularly played WoW since 2014 and it wasn't my first MMO so I don't consider myself a refugee necessarily. But my main races there were undead and blood elf and dwarf and here I'm a Highlander. But I also have alts the way I did in WoW so I do other races here, too.

    It's still wild how much blood elves effected the undead population. I was talking to some guildies the other day and we all realized we don't run into undead anymore. They were THE race to play on the horde back in vanilla but at least on my server they've been pretty rare.

    I've been playing since the closed beta, and I still occasionally play Wow, and I chose Human. Also, I find the term "refugee" hilarious. Like having a bad game, you leave is on the same level as being an actual refugee. It's such a first world thing to say. It's so moronic. Metaphor aside. It makes me laugh whenever I hear it. Oh the horror Shadowlands sucked!

    Normies are unremarkable, so people don't remark on them. You have to be weird to make a lasting impression.

    Keep in mind that Hrothgar and Viera are limited races that will not have full access to headgear glams, or full use of the upcoming hat+glasses glam system. This is a probably a permanent limitation that the developers are never going to address.
