This is one of the single most stupid things added to the game ever. Are people so stupid that they can’t handle a pixelated spider? Are the WoW devs so careless about their story and lore that they would turn like half of the Nerubian empire into crabs??
If you’re doing this for spiders, you better be ready to do it for anything that anyone has an irrational fear of, because once you start doing stuff like this, there’s really no end to it…
And by the way, crabs are basically just spiders that live in the sea/around water. They are very closely related in terms of genetics, physiology and structure. Imagine how many people would eat crab meat but would shudder at the thought of eating a spider…
