1: I know this is fantasy... but physiologically it does not give them the body to be a warrior, rogue, or hunter (any animal would always see it as prey)
Logically, yes, they are too diminutive to efficiently swing around weapons or wear heavy armor. They are easily the weakest of the Alliance classes with their pitiful 15 base strength. (Humans are 20, Dwarves are 22, Night Elves are 17.) But, I'm pretty sure that even a tiny thing like a Gnome can manage well enough if they train up, use appropriately-sized weaponry, or… you know… they could just use cybernetic enhancements to wear plate armor and swing giant hammers around.
I see no reason why Gnomes can't be Rogues. Their small stature would give them natural stealth since they wouldn't have such heavy footfalls, and if they're into technology, they could invent things to further their stealth capabilities. Invention is, in fact, how they're able to become Hunters (on this server). The Gnome Hunter-exclusive version of "
Taming the Beast" has this line:
Tinker Town's best and brightest recently made an amazing scientific breakthrough to address our less than stellar record with large animals who find us appetizing and bite-sized.
You seem like a promising marksman. Just the talent we need in our efforts to retake Gnomeregan! To that end, I'll teach you how to use the patented G.N.O.E.M.R. Taming Rod.
So, yeah. Gnomes basically use hypnosis. Meanwhile, Goblins use
shock collars. Ingenuity overcomes adversity.
2: The only classes that could become are magic, and not all, they are more beings of technology
Do you really think that an always-curious race like the Gnomes wouldn't have people studying and trying to decipher the mystic arts of Arcane, Elements, and Fel, like they were some kind of "science"?
3: They are not aesthetically pleasing to use...... It is a matter of taste but they cannot deny that few people play it
Some people find Humans ugly or Orcs ugly. Some people find Night Elves or High Elves "not aesthetically pleasing", too. You defeated yourself with this one; it
is "a matter of taste". I, personally, think female Gnomes are cute, and some male Gnomes have "so ugly it's cute" kind of faces.
