Was Back Sheathing a Bug That Blizzard Should Un-Fix?

Ease's Avatar by Ease

For a brief window of time during the WoW Forever beta, players were able to sheathe their one-handed weapons on their backs. This was removed (or fixed if it was a bug) by Blizzard before launch, but players are starting to make noise on the forums, hoping to catch Blizzard’s attention.

Currently, only two-handed weapons are sheathed on the back, but players are asking for one-handers to do the same. There is already precedent for this to be possible, as the one-handed sword Skullforge Reaver iconSkullforge Reaver sheathes on the back and has done so since Vanilla. So why isn’t this an option for all one-handed weapons?

In the same thread, Hunters are also asking for Bows and/or Quivers to be visible on your back. It’s clear that this is something that players are interested in.

Some users in the thread are arguing against this feature, saying that it would remove the uniqueness of the few one-handed weapons that do sheathe on your back. But is it worth removing the coolness factor from ALL weapons to retain it on some?

Blizzard has been very open to this kind of feedback in WoW Forever so far, announcing that SD models for the Skyborne race and their Druid forms will be coming, for example. They’ve also been working on dungeon experience based on player feedback, as well as gold rewards from quests at level 60.

So if this is something that you would like to see, add your voice to the Reddit thread above! Or start a new post on the WoW Forums, or perhaps even start commenting on YouTube videos? Blizzard has said that they read it all.
