I dont really get it. Maybe there is something wrong with me, but I cant imagine how a gnome or vulpera can motivate me to play this game.
Everyone is different, I get it. But for me - Im a huge Star Wars fan and my motivations comes from the Dark Side of the force by watching Darth Sidious, Darth Bane, Revan and Malak.
What do you watch/listen to be motivated to play the furry rats and lil gnomes? Teletubies?
The raceâs obvious superiority. My mechanically enhanced perfect little cutie is far better than anything else.
I mean, we have humans - why would I play the same thing I am IRL? We also have fat humans, way cooler, but still human. Then we have fat beardy little humans and their dark variant. Yeah⌠no. Pointy ears with a sad story? Nah. Tentacly people with hooves? Urgh. If I wanted hooves, Iâd play a tauren. Oh, and we also have werewolves, humans with a bad curse. Itâs enough they have the curse of flesh, theyâre also cursed with that worgen disease. No, thanks.
Pandas are cool, though. Iâd play a mecha-panda.
The horde? The horde is nothing.
So, as you can see, gnomes - and especially mecha-gnomes - are the only good race.
I love small characters but gnomes or goblins never did anything for me. Mechagnomes are pretty cool and would love to play one if I played Alliance
My Gnome is a pretty smart G.C.O Tunnel Rat,
Been serving down in the Deep Black since the Second War, fighting a war in the darkness, against creatures that are nightmarish amalgamations of muscle, fang and talon, that are three times our size. If the Troggs donât get you, the Crazies mightâŚYeah, your old friends and families, now waxen green faces, skin dripping, still smart enough to use guns though, or hey, could be the pockets of poison gas, that if you get caught in them, will turn you into a Crazy also, or the Radiation that saturates the lower levels, and then you come up, after a three month tour of duty down in the Deep Black of Gnomeregan, and you have some damned âStretchâ, some stupid Stretched Gnome try to tell you that Lordaeron had it bad? Damned Humanâs wouldnât know bad if it bit them on the backsideâŚ
Losers whine about doing their best but losing. Winners go back down into the Deep Black for another three month tour of duty against all the horrors down thereâŚYou ever hear about the Black Echo? Yeah, we donât talk about it muchâŚsometimes, you been down there too long, you hear voices, see. Happened to a guy on my last patrol, Happy Drillbitter. Said the voices told him he could see his family again if he just put the gun barrel in his mouth and closed his eyes. We couldnât stop him in time. It happens.
Damned sight more often than weâd like, we lose a lot of good gnomes that wayâŚ

"Ah my friend, where are my manners, a bottle of wine on the table, and a glass apiece, you certainly made the right choice in choosing my humble sailing Dhow for your journey, we will get you where you need to go, without any inconvenience from pirates, krakens, or Income Tax revenue boats. We will even manage to avoid the dread skylions of Albatar, Never seen them? Ahh, my friend, my first mate, swears they are real, but then he also swears that all of his mail is read by his second wife, Tragic really, But yes, the âFortuneâs Kissâ will get you to Northrend in no time, I hear there are many ancient tombs up there, which could be explored to make a person most renowned in the Scholarly pursuits, if not also a little rich if one knew the unscrupulous type of dealer, Thankfully, I only deal with the most Scrupulous types who know how to avoid paying Revenue. Not Pirates, and Smugglers is a vulgar word, no? Merchant Venturers is much more fitting! Now drink up your wine, and be assured, your safety on my vessel is guaranteed, to a given value of guarantee, which I have obviously given you!

Any character can be fun, if you add a roleplay aspect to itâŚ
The usual: Get a Rogue on every race and the achievement/transmog that comes with levelling them up to max level.
Furry rat animates well though, expected worse.
That being said once at max level it will most likely be abandoned until the yearly torture that is: trying and obtain a big love rocket.
Pfft. This coming from a wasp-waist Night Elf. Youâd snap in half if you touched your toes.
Cute and smart as an engineer, what can be cooler
Most of my alts are Gnomes.
For one, the whimsical races work really well within the Warcraft universe. Itâs light and humorous enough to support them and they donât feel out of place. Like being the clown in the circus.
Practically I enjoy female characters because their animations are more fluid and agile. And the same holds true for the smaller races in their own regard. Their limbs move faster, and itâs all more compact. If you play a Tauren it sometimes feel as if youâre running in slow motion, because the limbs move slower in the running animation than for the other smaller races.
So those are some of the reasons why.
âcuteâ Gnomes? what? I⌠this⌠umm⌠what?
Cute vulpera⌠what ? Cute gnomes⌠whaaaaaaat ?
Neither are cute in my books.
I do not mind playing dwarves though - they are short too! The new female model makes them kind of cute. And DI haircolours and facepaints work well.
I have nothing against Gnomes. In fact I think everyone should own at least one.
Theyâre good for cleaning the parts of the house that are too small for me to get to.
Nothing in particular, nor am I a judgemental douche.
Why do/did I play gnomes/vulpera? Because I liked their animation and find 'em adorable. I play neither now however.
The size, they are small, their mounts are small life is just great as a Vulpera. I have a Tauren Druid as a main and it is just gets stuck where ever I go. If there is dense trees or a small door way guaranteed you will get stuck. Then when they mount up the problem gets even worse. Most doorways except for the main door at the Great Seal in DisasterâLor is a no go, you just get stuck and have to dismount run through it and mount up again. Given it is a Druid so you have the travel forms, but they are not as fast as the mounts. Then if you mount up on a vendor mount like the Explorer Yak, Tundra Mammoth or the Longboy you take up well the immediate area. Standing next to a mailbox you just block everyoneâs view. If Vulpera could be Druids my main would be a Vulpera even though I would loose my herbalism skill the easier movement would be worth it.

Hewwo Fwend!
The sweet sweet backback space for 1, and the cawawan lowcation thwingy.
But seriously that caravan thing helps alot while leveling.
People who play Vulpera do it because of their degenerate inclinations towards human/animal hybrids. Vile Furries.
As you saidin your thread title:
Cute Gnomes/Vulperas
I want to add that the caravan racial is quite nice.
Love is in the air event I parked it at pyrewood village for the daily quests.
Now the tent is pitched up at the Darkmoon Faire for the daily pet battles and hourly buff.
I can see using the vulpera alt for mount farming being able to put the tent near an instance entrace and the HS close to another.
The only things that would inspire me to play a gnome would be 100% alcohol in near-critical dose, some extremely potent drugs and a gun pointed at the back of my head.
