I will simply leave my previous lengthy speech about gnomes:
"Gnomes are the most heroic & best race of the Alliance.
They are loyal friends and allies in battle. They aided the humans in the second war immensly with troops and technology, and during the third war, while they didnt show up themselves, they sent basically everything they could in terms of technology and resources to aid the war against the legion.
Only afterwards did the rest of the Alliance discover their troubles they had in Gnomeregan with the troggs, and losing the majority of their population. Yet the gnomes had decided that the Alliance had more important matters to attend, so they sent what they could and stood alone to not bother their allies.
Gnomes are the unsung heroes of the Alliance who selflessly aided them whenever they could, asking nothing in return, even when retaking Gnomeregan, since it was their fight."

Gonna repost an old thread I created…
As most of you will know the Gnomes of Gnomeregan are possibly the most loyal, fierce and mighty race within all of the Warcraft universe.
From thier imaginative technology to thier prowess of the battle field they have time and again proven thier worth to the Grand Alliance.
All of this brings me to my main point, one that with both restore the current playerbases faith in Actiblizzard as well as bring a tidal wave of old and new subscriptions.
All we need to do is unlock all classes for our Gnomish friends… I know, I know… Its genius!
Think about it!
Gnomish Paladins with thier mecha-bubbles… Gnomish Demon Hunters gliding into battle and Gnome Druids stealthed in thier feral tabby cat form.
Make it happen Blizzard.
The ball’s in your court now.
Gnomes are an often maligned race, known for ingenuity, bravery and selflessness. While a distant ally was conquered by the scourge, the Gnomes continued to contributed a great deal of resources to the war effort and kept word of their own trouble with the troggs quiet, so as not to draw resources away from Lordaeron.
However, with the above in mind, many of their kin seem to wish to forgo that legacy of sacrifice and virtue, by slapping the title “Tinker” on their name and using it as an excuse to talk nonsense in the Cathedral square, pose as children or plants by sitting on planters and demanding pats or hugs and generally being ridiculous.

I know that book you’re citing from in that latter paragraph, so guess I don’t have to tell you what that same book says about female Draeneis in general.
However I don’t think that was the actual purpose of this thread.
As for the tittle “Tinker” it happens to be the actual profession of a lot of Gnomes (basically the word Gnomes tend to use instead of Inventor/Engineer/engineering), and if not their actual profession often at least something they were trained at/taught in their upbringing and have some degree of skill at.
Tinkering happens to be a highly regarded art and craft in Gnomish culture, you might even call it a racial signature trait/trade (pun fully intended).
I don’t think you’ll find many Gnomes that find Gelbin Mekkatorque’s title “Hightinker” ridiculous, or for that matter his self-chosen tittle, as is Gnomish tradition when you get elected as Hightinker, “King of Gnomes”, from long before he became just that officially.
I think the fairly common natural tendency among Gnomes to be somewhat eccentric, likely a by-product of their highly gifted intellect and busy brains (as well as their fairly/relatively open minded culture), might sometimes get misinterpreted OOC’ly by other non Gnome RP’ers as the player behind the Gnome character not being serious about the character they play.
Gnomes are special, and that is what makes them so great, and so fun to role-play, sometimes it happens to be a curse too though.
But also just because Gnomes, as a race and in general, are a fascinating, courageous and highly technologically developed people doesn’t mean that individual Gnomes who are boring cowards, for whom it will remain a great, ever illusive, mystery how even the simplest wind up toy works, wouldn’t exist as well (despite that that, according to afore mentioned book, would actually make them Humans).

They also, ironically, have a tendency to let things go over their head.
we are… badass…

Gnomes along with dwarves are known for spreading blood in Warmode.

Gnomes are an interesting analogue to the rest of the Alliance. they are the brains of the operation but their thinking can often be so outside the box that other races might be a bit unsure about how wise it all is.
Kaldorei use Nature stuff to get things done, Dwarves can rock about explosives and call it a day, Draenei will use Crystals and Magic and Light and things just somehow work and so on and so on.
Gnomes pull out a box, extend an aerial, put in a bit of red liquid, turn a knob three times. wait for the sparking to stop. say “Gundy” three times into a voice recognition box, turn the crank handle on the side exactly 42 and a half times then bury it in the snow and run atleast 40 yards away or into hard cover.
Then you get a bolt of yellow energy snap into your forehead and for the next month you always make perfect pancakes.
But when you put their thinking against Goblins, it puts things in a much safer context so probably best to listen to them
