Thats a player that didn't zone in to the raid yet. Normally when someone hasn't come into view/range yet you see a default picture for their race and gender. this has happened a few times actually. Anyone else get it?

I have seen it myself a few times in the last few weeks. Always wondered what it was.

Uhg, yes, that's the new default female troll picture. I HATE this picture. When they first put it in, everyone kept saying how strange it was before I'd zone in an instance or whatever, and once I finally did see it... >_<

I don't see why Blizzard felt the need to update it to this hideous portrait. Also- why are the tusks coming out of her cheeks, and not her mouth? o_O

It's just....a very odd picture. It doesn't look like a Troll at all...it's almost like some bizarre evil Night Elf. xD

Ok, I read somewhere that this is the portrait that was supposed to be used way back when WoW started.. and then I stumbled upon this video... The female troll is the very last one, if you skip to like 5:13 in the video after it loads.

Let me say, I'm very happy to be the troll that I am today, and not that lol

I actually loved the female Alpha troll and wish we could play them. :(

The portrait may be scary looking, but they had way more personality and viciousness to them before.

Yeah, they do look more vicious, but to me, it looks more like a slightly altered male troll model, with boobs xD

I got plenty of personality, mon :<

Heh, that's what I love about them. They're not supposed to be feminine. ;) I'd prefer the Alpha version any day. I want a realistic, savage Troll huntress.

There are some angry-looking female troll faces which work...the main thing I miss from the male model is the ability to slouch at will!

I actually prefer the female human model in that video over the current one. It looks more like a blood elf, somehow.

And the female gnome model is hideous!

I'm glad they ending up making fem tauren a bit less chunky, but I would looove to use some of the larger horn styles on my druid =\

Ok, sorry for hijacking the thread! I'm done now. ^.^;;
