It could so easily be done. Choose your race, then your "tribe" or background. Like, you choose Human, then Stormwind or Kul Tiras. Or choose Draenei, then Exodar or Lightforged. All the things that make the new race distinct from the old stay intact. It's more a reorganization of the character creation screens than anything. Of course, by current standards, all the newer variations would be locked for new players.

That would be a really neat way to do it.

I would rather see a new fraction, with it's own purpose and storyline.

There is still enough races in WoW, but I think that players need acces to more fraction. That way the game would be bigger and more interresting.

Vulpera don't fit allied races concept, as they are a new race, not a different faction, nation and/or magical variation of existing race (like Void Elves and Nightborne). They are their own species, so Gilgoblins are the only fitting counterpart to Mechagnomes. Both options sound rather boring in my opinion, it's also possible we might not get any new allied races this expansion. There is also the fact, that these Gilgoblins are still using older models, with upcoming updates for Goblin and Worgen, this makes them even less likely to become playable, as they would have to update some assets for them as well.

Another issue is the faction imbalance, giving something as different as Vulpera to Horde, while Alliance gets Mechagnomes, could skew balance even further. Alliance is already losing players, so that's a bad idea, unless they are planning to remove faction restrictions (or factions as a whole). 

Seen alot of videos and ideas latelly on the merged megafaction --> thus making it possible to have Alliance and Horde as one megafaction, and one Darker for the void or whatevs. Anyho, i like the idea of removing Horde and Alliance since it's just stupid having us come back to the same 'JOINT FORCES' every single time we meet a big baddie (Thrall even said this is getting repetative in the last cinematic).

Most horde i know don't want another small race like goblins to join the horde.

 

And most Horde I know are chomping at the bit for Vulpera. Just depends on what circles you hang out with. Anecdote is worthless.

Way I see it, you can still have the faction tensions and all that without the hard racial split between them that we have now. More of a political divide than a racial one. Doesn't make sense that not one single human would align with Horde ideals enough to join them, nor would one single Orc do the same for Alliance ideals...
