Open Letter to Blizzard Entertainment

Dear Blizzard,

It is with distress that I note your continued failure to introduce Goblins as a playable race for the Horde in your successful online game World of Warcraft. Why, I frown to myself, do you with the one hand see fit to allow the persistent imbalance presented by the impossibility of clicking on Gnomes in battlegrounds, while with the other smack us Horde gamers repeatedly round the head with the embarrassment that is the Blood Elf race. The complete rewriting of the Warcraft universe to fundamentally alter the racial morality of the Goblin race is surely a small price to pay for the countless hours of gaiety that their presence on the character selection screen would afford! While your noble efforts have been misspent in a covert effort to reanimate the Protoss race, and let me tell you the weak ass name 'Draenei' isn't fooling anyone, thousands of players have had their pleas for a race that they can really identify with given the famously cold, famously irresistable Blizzard shoulder. When literally hundreds of players gather in Gadget'zan, forming colossal dancing bodies of worship around its endlessly compelling populous, do you take notice? When otherwise respectable members of society paint themselves green to the groin and strategically place shoes at their knees for Halloween, do you take notice?

Sirs, this injustice must end,

Faithfully,

The World of Warcraft Community
