So far only the new race is showing this, but hopefully it is a sign to come that we may just be getting the ability to have our ranged weapons slung over out shoulder.

big guns, bows, crossbows could be over the shoulder, and make small guns and crossbows hip based, that would be pretty neat

That's great news. If Pandas have it then it's only a matter of time before everyone does, I hope.

Yay! Might finally get to actually see some of my ranged weapon collection collecting dust in my void storage.

I'm liking this new development a lot! I've always imagined my hunters having on them some sort of holster for their weapons but now I won't have to! Yippee!
Now all I desire is an option to dual-wield pistols/handguns, then my weapons wish list is set!
I interpreted the title of this post as reading "Over the Shoulder, Boulder Holder"! At least it got my attention right away

I may be been channeling that a little, it was nearly rude, but made up for it in cheeky

I hope they can clean up the clipping issues, or provide a toggle if they can't. That pandaren in the screenshot has the point of the crossbow sticking through her tail. My dwarf hunter wields a
huge laser cannon that might look a little bit ridiculous hanging off her back.

Big bows, crossbows, and guns on the back, smaller ones on the hips, and for God's sake let us Dual Wield pistols and mini-crossbows! Lord Godfrey can do it and he's not even a Hunter!

Very neat! I approve of this. If we're losing the look for melee weapons, I am definitely happy our ranged weapons can show!

You wont have both equipped at once. Can only have one or the other.

To clarify, you'll no longer be able to equip both melee weapons and ranged weapons. The ranged slot is going away, ranged weapons are now equipped like a two handed weapon.

Finally. Ancient Bone Bow used to show on your back a long time ago plus I got the legendary bow from Kael'thas' fight to glitch and show on my back once (I need to find that screenshot. (edit:Found it. Posted below.)), so they had the mechanics for this but never used it. I love this.
Although I see see huge clipping issues with races with tails. =(
