Q u o t e:
Yes, yes it does.
We're Tauren... one of the largest races in the game and known well for it. We don't deserve puny weapons the size of a gnome's that can snap in half :/
Artistic appeal is very important to those that play their characters, and changing something so sporadically with a reason that has been present for years (and applies to other races) does not please those that actually liked how it was. Orc shoulders were a good example, even IF it was considered a bug. Sometimes the players really don't mind a little bit of unrealistic clipping if it makes them look cool, and no one had a problem with it before.
It was one of the things that defined Tauren and their immense size...
I can understand your concerns on this. I really can. I could understand the concerns a bit more if we had significantly reduced the size of your weapons as you were holding them though.
I can, of course, forward your concerns on this. But, we don't have plans to change this back at this point in time. Now, that doesn't preclude that in some time in the future, we might find a better way of fixing the clipping issue outside of resizing, but for now, it stands as is.
I also need to convey that we need to stick with our convictions sometimes on what we feel is acceptable or not when it comes to these sorts of issues. I don't mean that in any way to be condescending so please don't take it that way. But, we have a set of standards our teams strive to achieve and if they are feeling that there is an issue they need to correct, they are going to correct it.
Should things change, should we have an alternate solution, or some other way of finding a happy middle ground on this, we'll definitely let you know.
The only thing I ask is that people stop creating additional threads and please do not attempt to derail other threads with this issue. I know you're just trying to reach out and share your feelings and your concerns, but they are known and understood. We just aren't changing anything back at this point in time.
