Does my human female look psycho to you?

Asariah noticed this and posted his concerns in the Bug Report Forum (did you know there was a Bug Report Forum? neat huh?). Hortus spotted this report and informed us that the human female was the only one of the multiple races to receive a minor alteration from this, and that "it was decided that this was an acceptable change." Apparently someone up there at Blizzard is a big fan of 2000-yard, iris-popping, stepford-wife eyes in women!
For my part, though, I have to get up really close to my human female character to notice the difference -- and then when I do it makes me giggle uncontrollably. It's really no worse, in my opinion, than all those glowy reflections you see in anime girls' eyes. And to be honest, human women have always been a bit vacant-looking in WoW; they're better than human men, of course, but still don't usually look like paragons of profound intelligence. At least they don't bounce up and down like night-elf girls do.

Finally the goggles do something! They can cover up the beefed-up eyes that I didn't even notice yet!
Sure, the Engineering goggles aren't a part of this issue, but I haven't noticed the eye changes because I have those goggles on my character until I read this story.
And yes, the eye changes do look like their eyes are gonna fall out.

The only time I find it annoying is when I'm looking at my toon in the character selection screen.
Though I did tell my guildies about it, and they got a good chuckle. It's worth something.

I never look that close to any of my characters. Actually I never look at the fronts of them at all unless I earn a new piece of gear.

Actually, I've got to admit that I used to look at my human female face and wonder why the heck they put so many polygons in there. Who really needs eye sockets? Just let 'em pop out!

I've been looking at some before and after shots, and the change seems to be an improvement in some, and look kinda silly in others. That said, how much time do we really spend looking at our characters faces at all, let alone that close up? I figure in a couple of weeks I won't even notice the change at all.
Now if they could just make it so human males don't look like angry, constipated badgers, I'd be really happy.

They also need to fix the frame so that they don't constantly look like they are in full-body traction. That's why male Draenei always look awesome. It's the comic-book, superheroic stance.

Bite your tongue! Bouncy female NELFs are FTW!

Careless Optometrist's eye drops crit you for 11,000.
You look silly.

I had a hard time noticing with my human female, who I picked a really pissy face for. Now, instead of looking pissy, she looks surprised.
I'm more frustrated that my Female Troll has her tusks sticking THROUGH her S1 Hunter helm. It looks ridiculous. Not as ridiculous as a Male Troll in the same situation, but it's definitely pretty lame. I could turn her helm off, but if you do that with a Female Troll in the S1 Hunter gear it makes them look like they have fat necks.

Maybe the wide open mouth will be in the next patch....
