So much troll hate. :(
Seriously though, I kind of like being one of the few trolls running around. I've been a troll since the beginning (when we were the "pretty" race of the Horde), and I've only grown more fond of them since. I'd love some better face options, and yeah the run animation is mildly irritating... but otherwise I'm quite content with my trolls.
I don't find the models to be nearly as bad as some people are making them out to be (minus some of the ladies' faces). The women have tiny waists and booty to spare, and I like the blend they have of feminine vs. "I could rip your face off if I wanted to." But I suppose boys like their women tiny and helpless.
The male trolls are actually one of the more attractive races to me, slouched posture and all. So much so that the only male character I have is one. Tauren and orcs just do nothing for me (though they do look impressive decked out in plate), and blood elves are... well, blood elves. I think the male human models are absolutely hideous. I have no idea how anyone can stand looking at them. I'm pretty apathetic towards everyone else.
On a totally random note, I've had far more random creeps hitting on my trolls than I ever have on all of my "pretty" characters put together. I'm equal parts amused and horrified by this.
I like youz. =)
I personally
do
have BE's and sure they're pretty, but when it gets to the point of hundreds of BE DK's, that is where it crosses the line.
My Troll DK is unique, considering that when I searched /who BE Death Knight 80 I got 49+ results and Troll Death Knight 80...2, including myself.
Just makes me sad. =(

So your telling me if Trolls were real you'd find them attractive over others. I'm not a girl, but I'd take a buff orc or tall Night elf to a skinny hunched troll that pokes me in the eye whever he'd kiss me.
Well if trolls were real I'd probably be terrified and running the other way... but in general, I'd take the tall, skinny guy over some buff guy. Huge muscles just aren't appealing to me. And orcs are nearly as hunched over as trolls anyway, it's just less pronounced because they're so much wider. I don't really have anything against night elves, I just prefer trolls. It's all about the
attitude
.
I like youz. =)
<3
I don't mind blood elves that much either, I just hate that there are so many of them.

And how can you dislike the human models. Assuming you are human, you should be attracted to one. If you find human unattractive then goodluck getting with anything else. Your a human finding humans hideous.
I don't find humans hideous, I find the male human model in game hideous. Their eyes are creepy, their eyebrows look like caterpillars glued to their face, and they all have a serious case of harelip. Really now, who finds that attractive? If men looked like that in real life, I'd quite happily take a vow of celibacy.
Only downside is if you want a cute character your face must look amusingly like the other cute troll females
That's because we're all androids sent to... oh crap, nevermind.

Ok, I don't get the whole not liking the eyebrows and hair lip thing, especially since the mustache is optional and many choose not to have it.
Harelip, not hair lip. A harelip is a deformation of the upper lip and palate. I'm not anti-facial hair. In fact, a mustache is all that will hide that thing.
Anyway, we all know that a troll's tusks are there so that you can lead him around and make him do your bidding.

Female, myself. My very first toon was a female Troll, a Shaman. I didn't last very long with her (she sits abandoned at level 12), and my main is now a Draenei Priest.
However, I absolutely
adore
Troll males. I think they're the best Horde male, while Trolls are also the worst Horde female. The game needs more Troll males!
However, I'd sooner play a female Troll than a
Human
female. That jump animation is just incredibly creepy. Similar to how I view the Trolls, I find Human females the worst Alliance females, and Human males are my favorite Alliance males...and their cast animations are wonderful.

Trolls are cool. Well atleast the females, males looks so darn ugly.

trolls are just overflowing with awesome there's no question about that
the
ONLY
reason i'm not horde and moreso a troll on the main is that my choice for a druid (bear) was between a cow with a crappy racial and a useless racial or a close reletive to a troll with 2% chance to be missed and a ghetto vanish...the whole troll reletive perk was the deciding factor and as a result i'm alliance
if only blizz would've allowed trolls to be druids about 2 years ago...well i may take the race/faction change when it's available
for those saying Belves are popular because of their looks that's only 1/3 of it from all the anime loving fanboys, the other 2/3 is because of all the fotm rerollers who wanted to watch porn while they leveled a pally
most OP class/race combo ever = troll paladin...regenerating 5 health per second while bubble hearthing and there's nothing you can do about it

Because they run as though they have Downs Syndrome? The females are awful, the males are far too deformed, and the old saying of "Why are YOU a troll priest" still applies. Besides, my ex-wife plays as a troll. The less things I can have in common with that life-draining land-monster the better.
Well aren't you a ray of sunshine this morning.
Awwwww, someones trying to be sarcastic because of something that's truthful. /pat
"Why are YOU a troll priest"
Now, after all this time, that line has actually made me want a troll priest, badly, lol. I love that line.
That line had a good run. : )

I don't get why people don't play them, or even not like them.
They're my favorite race, and they're one of the best in my opinion, both player and roleplaying-wise.
What's your opinion?
They're Ugly....

Troll is the only horde male character I would play. Orc males look totaly dumb, tauren males are far from what they were in wc3, undead have bones visible even with cloth on and Belf are... just Belfs ("Dont you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?" How am I suposed to play
that
?).
On the opposite, I wouldnt roll a troll female ever (along with undead for the same reason as male). But all the others are ok.
