Bold words for a small creature with a comically oversized head and robotic limbs. You really have no hill to stand on.
And the ones I hear are of night elves falling down writhing as I break them…
Says the creature still suffering from both a curse of flesh, and undeath, who’s about the same size, with comically long ears. At least I have replacable parts if I’m torn apart. You don’t.
I have a hill of spare parts and vulpera fur to stand on, thank you very much. It’s a very comfy hill too.
It’s not a big feat to break the ones who burned to a crisp before. But I guess, for a Vulpera, even that is a feat.

Undeath isn’t a curse, silly gnome. It is a liberation from the flaws of life and flawed mortal needs. Something your pathetic mechanization cannot even come close to…
And you’re still worth less than that which you stand on. At least the vulpera furs have value. You on the other hand…
Talk back to me after having spent your entire life in a harsh desert, where everyone and everything wants to kill you on a daily basis and the resources are scarce. You wouldn’t last a day…
Oh, yes, right, my bad, sorry. It is totally a liberation.
Most spare parts are my spare parts. How is it possible to be worth less than my own parts?
Oh, I know. Inferior mathematical and economical capabilities. My bad. I always forget that non-mechanical races have these issues.
Oh, but I do. You see, I am from Gnomeregan. If you haven’t heard, it is radioactive, full of leper gnomes and other creatures that try to kill you, with next to no resources. I lasted quite long, and haven’t even been mechanized yet at that point.
I’m still standing.
Nice try, but Vol’dun is a paradise compared to Gnomeregan.
I was talking about the vulpera furs. But I guess that regarding the parts, a sum of whole is actually less worth than the individual parts in your case.
Nice try, but the last time I checked, you gnomes lived in Gnomeregan before it was irradiated. I doubt you used to live in the irradiated version before you got mechanized, unless you’re a leper gnome.
Greetings, do not concern yourselves with the undead Vulpera fellow thinkers. To us, undeath can be an enhancement, but to the Vulpera, it is a symbol of failure at being as cunning as their race is supposed to be. I shall go and prepare a packing crate to send him back to the Ebon Blade as a sparking corpse, once the aerial oppression units are done with him that us.
May we keep the crate and delivery unit?
You’re certainly welcome to try. But it won’t go well for you I’m afraid. I gave myself up willingly to the master. I never failed to survive, and I’ve no intention to either.
RP aside, it’s nice to see a mechagnome-dedicated thread. While I’m personally not a fan of the race, I hope you’re all enjoying and having fun with your mechagnomes.

I’d play the hell outta a mechagnome if they gave us more options for arms and legs, rather than just outright blocking any form of transmog working on the majority of their main slots.

Oh, those are worthless. I use them to clean oil from the spare parts.
Yes, and we were irradiated, lived through that, got cleansed, and (much later), mechanized. Your struggles in the desert are nothing in comparison.
This is my Mechagnome in progress, I should get her to max this month with this buff

I’m sad I can’t give Tizzy pink hair though 
It is the nature of death to decay. It’s a law of nature. Magic withstanding, such a nature will always be what it is, limited by the boundaries of the magic which keeps you upright.
Technology represents that will which refuses to bow to such limits. They are merely markers for us to aspire to overcome, and we do, such is the nature of innovation.
You will always be the same. You can’t grow or change, because your condition barely allows it, and you have to bend magic within several inches of itself to allow you some imitation of such.
Our bodies may be partial, but that which is artificial is replaceable in a way yours isn’t. It grows so long as our vision allows, and our vision is infinitely larger than other races can comprehend.
So by all means, rail against us. Science improves through adversity. We’ll analyse, rebuild, restructure. Eventually such a force will be too much, and you’ll be stuck where you always were, because death is the end of motion. In a world where we have the technology to revive the deceased, to transfer conscious minds to material things, to record memory, the handwaving of death magic is hardly top of the ecosystem any more.
OT it’s really cool to see such boiling passions toing and froing here and keeping it civil, based players all around guys.

Just pick the vulpera fur out of the envelope.
I think that was done to allow original gnomes to retain something unique. I mean it isn’t really fair mechas get everything.
Plus, Mechagon and Mechagnomes appear to have a slightly darker, tiny bit more serious vibe to them.

Yeah the problem with the originals (imo) is that WoW treats them as a joke most of the time. It has gotten better in regards to story and representation, but the candy hair, nasal voice and badly proportioned head still hasn’t gone anywhere.

Zandalari trolls can’t have the same bright pink hair either, but they do have some colours.
I will always love pink/purple options xD
Indeed. It varies from gnome to gnome. Some are clearly comic entries. Others are serious enough. It’s that their size and voice overshadows stuff for many players. I mean Kelsey steelspark is pretty happy to bomb horde and Brags about her knife collection to keeshan. Despite her peppy demeanour she’s pretty grim. It could been seen as a natural enthusiasm gnomes have, or a wierd coping mechanism given their past whereby they treat even serious affairs with childlike jubilance to hide their pain. Self sufficiency seems to prized in gnomish culture so burdening others with their emotional problems doesn’t seem to be their way (look how long it took them to ask for help with the troggs).
I like the fact they mix pep and sass with seriousness. Mekkatorques lines when he KOs players are great.

I don’t feel the females are as badly affected as the males (though maybe I’m just biased favourably towards women) but that may be due to them having been less prominent. Not that the race has been very prominent in the first place. Kelsey has been a great character from the start though; or at least since Cataclysm, I don’t remember her much before that. How she plays the “silly gnome” stereotype around Noggenfogger, only to act professional and serious the moment she’s out in the field, along with clever dialogue and a degree of patriotism that isn’t stupid and over the top makes her seem very believable.
