Pool pony.
No I probably wouldn’t be bothered if there was no icecream because you know it’s icecream they also have cakes and pies and all sorts. They probably had icecream in LoTR too but you’d only see it in the Hobbit area or some very fancy sorbet in the Elven part.
Coca-cola = that stuff goblin’s drink
Television/tablet = gnomish/goblin stuff
This is all very easily explained I think you’re going a bit off the deep end, would you like a pool pony?
they probably use slingshots as sandals 
Or canoes, they got big feet 
Thats the stuff that made them smart according lore. Also comical theme and reference to something from real. Good example that they dont try to be too serious with this.
My point is that Blizzard don’t stay true to their own defined space.
Warcraft is a traditional high-fantasy medieval setting with elements of steampunk.
That defines what kind of technology is allowed. Ergo the television is a no-go, because it would break the rules of the fantasy setting. But the scene in the Warcraft movie where the Dwarf presents his latest invention – a boomstick – is allowed, because gunpowder and metalworking and all that fits within the medieval and the steampunk definitions.
Then someone at Blizzard made a swim ring.
Of plastic.
It’s a small thing. But it’s a huge violation of the rules that the world building is shaped around.
And the examples of that are becoming more and more and more.
We are miles away from the starting point of the Warcraft RTS games back in the 90’s, let alone the early days of WoW in the 2000’s.
None of these nonsensical things that Blizzard are introducing to the game helps grow Warcraft as a fantasy universe. It doesn’t move closer toward the immersive universes of Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars & Star Trek, or Warhammer or even Pokemon for that matter. They’re all better at sticking to their guns.
Blizzard acts as if they are insecure about Warcraft as a setting. As if they’re afraid that if it looks and feels like Warcraft then people won’t like it. So instead they start pumping the game full of all kinds of things that have very little to do with Warcraft.
As a fan of Warcraft, that’s sad to see. They’re destroying their own masterwork.
I don’t think it’s as deep as that. I think they just had this idea of the trading post, got a few artists to make some stuff and put it in as a fun side activity. I’m really, genuinely sorry it upsets you and ruins the game for you.
I honestly presume they don’t look like that on male chars. Every armour in the game has a male and female version. Some would like the option to choose either ofc.
OMG I would love a pool pony!!! I love the quests where I’ve either rescued people in them or temporarily used one.
Even in Remix atm one of the scenarios requires a pool pony to be part of the bomb.
Swimming mount yiss. Should have made that as the monthly reward.
For me this is another drop in the bucket that already holds a whelping daycare, a murloc costume, a sailor moon outfit, and so on.
And that bucket is starting to fill up pretty rapidly.
For a game where Blizzard hints at the next 20 and 30 years of adventure, it’s a bit concerning given the path they’ve set it on in the last 2 or 3.
I do think TWW is going to be a lot darker. DF was and is supposed to be a big break from the world for both NPCs and us IRL after the pandemic and horror of the Shadowlands. It will be a bit touchy-feely as well, which will make me uncomfortable, but I think a little more balanced.
I could have said that… And completely ignored the reason why we get those colors and pandering:
Blizzard putting LGBTQ/gay people for their pandering 1st row and we, the straight oriented people, keep getting short.
It just sucks imo.
I bet you get raging at the rainbow on Dark Side Of The Moon
I’m straight and it doesn’t bother me. Why does it bother you, honestly?
Even if dark wow theme will always look slightly comical with the cartoon theme, its never been dead serious in theme and I started in 2005 so idk if I see things differently but Ive never seen wow as more than cartoonish look mmo that has bit of humor in it even if the theme is darker or grim like the undeads and forsaken and this kinda makes fun contrast to it imo but this is opinion obviously.
Cuase its so girly!!! Like I dont mind girly stuff… but not 3 months in a row? and this one… Come on
Being straight does not have anything to do with colourful items???
This could be true of course, but we don’t know. All we can judge by are the images.
We’ll see
*Sigh * No but …come on. Stop it… Stop trying to find an offence with what I am saying.
Then word your sentences better so I don’t supposedly misunderstand them.
