Blizzard recently shrunk down Tauren weapons in World of Warcraft. Like most players, we were rather apprehensive at the end result of the graphical changes and hoped that the weapons would be returned to normal. Thankfully, this is exactly what's going to happen when the next patch goes live.

Community Manager Nethaera  the original reason that they shrunk the weapons down was to avoid any clipping problems when the weapon was sheathed, however, the end result "went beyond what was originally desired."

After reviewing the feedback from both the community and development team, Blizzard has decided to reverting the change to the size of the weapons when sheathed. This is awesome news for players who found the new Tauren weapon sizes to be rather unsightly. We'll keep you guys posted on any further news regarding this.
