id have to agree somewhat that the gnomes are the worst race in warcraft but if you read about them (which i had to) thier supposed to be close allies of the Dwarves and provide much of the technology used by the Dwarven Military.

I agree with what Will said. The gnomes, in my opinion, don't fit with the Warcraft story at all.

i don't get what you mean....but gnomes are the copters in wc2, and the gyros in wc3. Just because they were not a sole unit doesn't mean they didn't exist before wow.

I think we deal with it a little bit in upcoming D&D supplements. During Warcraft II, the gnomes were, in effect, building weapons and lending designs to the Alliance - but they were staying out of any direct fighting. In Warcraft III and Frozen Throne, and even in World of Warcraft, it becomes clear that the gnomes have had internal problems of their own for several years. As of World of Warcraft, they still offer support to the Alliance in terms of building tanks, designing weapons, sending flying machines, and so on. But they had a problem at home that has recently been discovered - an ancient menace from the depths of the underground, called Troggs. The Troggs invaded the gnomes' city of Gnomeregan and wiped it out. The gnomes decided not to let the rest of the Alliance know about this because they figured that they could deal with it on their own. But Gnomeregan fell, probably thanks as much to the gnomes' own actions as to those of their enemies - they likely blew themselves up with whatever failsafe devices they used to defeat the threat. After the destruction of their homeland, the gnomes fled to the safety offered by their nearby allies the dwarves.

Gyrocopters in Warcraft III are Dwarves. Probably after the destruction of their homeland, the Gnomes taught the Dwarves how to ride the Flying Machines. The proves are simple: when you acquired the Gyrocopters, you were in Northrend with Arthas and his squad, after they found Muradin. It's obvious there were no Gnomes in Northrend. Secondly, view this page. But indeed in Wc2 they were Gnomes.

Still, I guess Blizzard likes big amounts of races. Out of these on the Poll, Gnomes are indeed the ones I appreciate less. I know few or nothing about Gnomes, we are not familiar with them because they played no role on Warcraft III other than providing weapons for the Dwarves. They were not even mentioned once on War3.

I concur, the gnomes. I hate the Draenei is WoW (they fekked 'em up hardcore, in wc3 they kicked ass but they wrecked them for WoW) but yeah I hate the gnomes more. Worst race ever. Why would I shoot a fireball at you or hack you with my axe when I can stomp the living f*ck out of you with my 20 pound plate boots? Makes no sense to me...

Gnomes are like hobbits, meaning they have the power to destroy dark forces by dropping rings into hot magma.

How are they not hardcore?

Because they're evil beings that take every ounce of glory from every race when it comes to saving the day.

There are more things in Elves than what comes to our eyes. Still, I think I like High Elves more than Blood Elves. The green eyes and everything, well, it's not that bad, but their wicked states are just shameful for Elves.

I don't like Humans that much either =P

everyone hates gnomes here. I think Blood Elves are the worst, if this is referring to current incarnations. the stupid "nice" elves in WoW aren't even blood elves. Blood Elves are EVIL, that's why they are awesome.

and without gnomes, what would tauren eat?

@the end(guy who wanted to know who placed belves as bad) that woul be sorta me...

@kixer: they're called Pandaren. Get it right.

@nudl9: I don't see how you find Draenei *silly*. They are a very unique race (especially compared to the others) in that they are COMPLETELY original. So you have various rip offs of humans (night elves, blood elves. undead. dwarves, gnomes) that have ALL been done before, and then you have the orcs, which are obviously borrowed, and the tauren which are basically just intelligent cows, you have the pandaren, which are basically just intelligent pandas.

But the Draenei. They are the one truly unique major race in the WC-Verse. They don't take influence from any existing creatures (to my knowledge) and they have a very unique background. Sure, Blizzard wrecked them for WoW, but we see how awesome they are in WC3 and that's enough for me.

@ THE_END and people who like blood elves
I'm not saying that Blood elves are stupid. I'm saying that WoW's "Blood Elves" are really High Elves. Here we have an encounter between a high elf and a blood elf:

helf:*sees belf* ooh you are evil! i will now shoot you with my pointy sticks! WOOO!
belf: see this? this is a Demon. I sold this Demon my soul. This Demon which owns my soul will now eat your intestines while i go off and kill those bBLEEEEEEPard people for retconning me into a nice person.


I think it's clear who's better.

about deuling me: i played WoW but stopped cause i didn't like it.

Ook ok
Draenei are cool
WoW lore however totally slaughtered everything
If Blizzard introduced them earlier in the game, everything would've been better
They are a neat race, Blizzard just went about introducing them all wrong

What! How can you vote for Pandaren as the worst / most idiotic race? Thats just wrong! They're cute, cuddly and they can kick ass!

They also have obsessive fanboys who ignore the fact they're neutral and will more than likely never become a playable race in WoW

Draenei are just Ereder. I didn't see any of these complaints back when Archimonde started tearing down Dalaran

I prefere them nutral, and im glad that they will never be a WoW race. IMO WoW has stuffed up all the races, so as long as the pandaren are peaceful and not a WoW race, i would vote for them as the best War3 race, even if they were just a joke.
I like them because they're peaceful, funny and still pretty Leet warriors...

Pandarians don't match in Warcraft. You have all these cool mystical creatures, then you have big fat pandas which can walk and talk?

I think Pandarians just don't fit in.

Stop talking about pandas already! They're only a joke race suited for hugging and kissing but not killing. XD (pandarens.justgotowned.com) Then again, Blizzard could make money off pandaren dolls for crazy fanboys and girls.

Gnomes FTL!

Lol deep fried gnome
Gnome Sandwiches
Gnome Stew
Popcorn Gnome
Gnome on a stick
Freeze-dried Gnome (for the Dranie astronaughts)

I have to agree, the gnomes are messed up. They look like people but completely proportioned wrong, and they look all old even when they are probably like 3. I think the Nathrezim are the best if anyone cares...
