The short version

  • Skyborne can join either Horde or Alliance, according to Blizzard.
  • Reddit’s feedback thread centres on visual style and their place in the world.
  • These reactions are a snapshot of a discussion, not a poll of all WoW players.

What Blizzard actually announced

The Skyborne are a new playable race introduced in Blizzard’s Forever presentation. Players choose Horde or Alliance at character creation. Their starting experience is Zephras Isle.

What commenters object to

Comments in the r/classicwow thread compare their appearance with Kyrians and question the style of their druid forms. Others would have preferred a race already established in Warcraft’s story. These are arguments made in that thread, rather than polling results.

A separate thread shares a lore sketch attributed to Chris Metzen. That discussion concerns the race’s place in the story, while the visual criticism concerns how it looks on screen.
