Why do people hate Gnomes?
Return to board index

I have read a lot about people hating Gnomes.
Would love to hear the reasons for this tendency.
For me, the top 3 reasons are:
1. They look funny.
2. They always appear to be smiling (even when they are killed).
3. I can never tell the difference between a male Gnome and a female one.

1. They're alliance, and as such they always try to kill me, a sorry tank. Gief PvE server.

They look extremely odd, and once you're finally zoned into the whole idea of WoW and everything being fierce and angry a stupid gnome comes along and the whole idea is lost.
2nd, they're really freaking annoying to target in battlegrounds. They run around you and if you don't have auto-target you're kinda in trouble >_>

Everything in WoW is fierce and angry? Wait. What? Is this the same game we're playing? One of the best things about this game is it's refreshingly free of subjects better left to emo and death metal videos.

its all about the personality of the people that pick a gnome as his main character.
the people that pick gnomes as there main character are usually kids with full of childish behavior as for example they will never attack u if they are alone, they need like 3 or more to help them killing another hordy guy whatever his class is.
they keep /rofl /lol /rude at u after they kill u as if they did it alone...
the people who they pick gnomes as there mains doing that coz gnomes looks cute and funny and clever , so they cover the defect in there real personality.
i really hate gnome and we all should do that.

I play a gnome, and you'll be pleased to note I don't explode when something goes wrong :P
But ppl generally hate them as they're a bit of an oddity, and the emote sounds annoy a lot of people. They're just *too* cute for some people ;).
Though the race can attract the airy-fairy sorts I should imagine.

That's another thing. Where is this assumption coming from that gnome players are kids? I'm 36 and my main is a gnome. Not a single one of the kids in my guild play gnomes. Not one. Most of us are thirtysomethings and older. Now, if you admitted to being a teenybopper who hates gnome players because they remind you of your parents,
that
I would buy.

so by your rationale, everyone who rolls undead wears black eyeliner and draws tears on their cheeks with it while hugging their knees and crying to the my chemical romance videos on mtv, leaving blackened streams of failure all over their face?
and blood elfs aren't really korean kids, they're actually gays?
maybe everyone who rolls human has a lobotomy and everyone who rolls night elf drives a volkswagon beetle, and everyone who rolls orc is a vegetarian?
generalizations are ridiculous. you should try to break that habit.

I have a burning hatred of gnomes, because I know that 95% of the time, I can expect that gnome to try and gank me. If it's not a gnome, it's a night elf huntard instead.
So, gnomes and NE hunters are on my kill on sight list. I don't care what level you are, if I see you, you die. Unless I'm much higher level than you and in a good mood. Better to get the griefing little gits before they start doing it to me/someone else, imo.
Oh, and gnomes make excellent footballs.
Though there have been exceptions. I've actually met some rather polite and courteous gnomes...but there's always a few exceptions to the rule, no?

I hate undead the way horde hates gnomes.
