Is there a good reason why gnomes are the most unpopular race choice?

It's because they're short and they're faggy little gnomes.

Pretty much this.
Gnomes still look great in Robes and cloth but overall it's just hard to make a statement as a Gnome.

That being said I still only roll Gnome and Dwarf. Their culture and size just make everything 10 times more fun.

>>318412160
Make them loli looking instead of midgets and they'll become the most popular.

They had the shittiest racial class choices, next to Tauren, in vanilla. Other than that, they were a pretty good choice if only because you could fit underneath a lot of cracks other people couldn't.

They're a meme race. People use them to be all "LOOK GUYS, I'M A TINY GNOME BUT I SWING TWO BIG SWORDS ISNT' THAT FUNNY???XDXDXD".

The problem is it's never funny.

This. Also their racials are pretty good atm, especially for rogues and fury warriors (+1% haste, bigger resource pool).
>>
>>318412160

They screwed over their model revamp because of that all gnome guild false flag and bombed Blizzard's twitter to make them more angry and serious looking.

So instead of cute gnomes we got pissed of looking ones in idle animation.

I'd play the fuck out of gnomes, really, but something about their size bothers me. Kinda like I'm unable to play tauren because they're too big.

Tauren, Manda, and Dorf are literally the only acceptable race choices.

They're limited to only Night Elves in vanilla and they aren't really that good in their specializations. They're pretty mediocre at healing, being a rouge, casting, and tanking unlike retail where they dominate all of those
>>
>>318418718
Limiting pets based on spec is fine. Limiting pets based on race is not fine. Also, non-Gnome and Goblin Hunters need a special item to be able to tame them, just like Hunters had to get a special item to tame Direhorns.

You literally just need to buy a potion and you can tame them.

Well they have no real lore for the fanboys... they are pretty quirky (or at least were) compared to most races, and just have very unattractive features about them. The lore reason is a big one for a lot more people than you would think though. Wehn it's all said and done Gnomes are kind of assholes. They have been using the Dwarfs for far too long and have no real reason other than the raiding of Alterac to be at war with the horde.
