With the upcoming expansion into other classes as a Dracthyr, there is a massive looming problem of mobility being added to classes that will completely break them (make them overpowered) both in pve and pvp.
The fact of the matter is that jump glide is faster than running. Significantly. When this patch hits you go dracthyr or you slow down any pve or pvp group you are in.
For pvp its going to be actual hell trying to kite a warrior or rogue. Unless they do something about this there will be waves of people switching just for this racial. (though I guess they want the money. sigh)

They should not add jump glide to every race.
But perhaps they should do a “racial rebalancing” pass. Strengthen the Races that are on the weaker side and maybe tone down the ones who are too strong.

remove jump glide seems to be the easy answoid

They just need to remove it from non-Evoker Dracthyr, and make a new racial for Dracthyr as a race, that isn’t as overpowered imo.
It’s pretty much a game-changer for PvP, you’re gonna see a lot of them unless they made some changes.
Specifically classes with low mobility, once they become Dracthyr, are gonna be nightmares. And those with mobility are basically permanent menaces.

Just like how it is hell to stun an orc, to poison/curse a dwarf, snare a gnome, die to the death explosion of a lightforged in melee, to be confused when you face a mechagnome, when you get stunned by a tauren, or eaten by a Forsaken, or so on and so on… and so on.
- If it becomes a genuine problem, it can be fixed after Dracthyrs can play more classes.
- PvP and PvE specific scaling and nerfs/buffs exist.
- Some abilities can be disabled in PvP making them less if not entirely relevant.
- All you have said is that it is a “looming” problem; come back when you have actual data showcasing a real problem.
No, your concerns are largely irrelevant and even if they are … so? If they are egregious enough to warp anything, it’ll get fixed. But there’s always going to be better and worse racials in the game - Dracthyr’s ability to do the same kind of DH-awkward jump-dash is going to be one of the least consequential things about dracthyrs that exist. So no, this is not a real problem or concern that exists - it is just this weird and quite random forum negative-nancy talkingpoint.

Oh I know but when every other core race in the game gets a revamp and your race is the only one who didnt… well its not a good feeling.

Ah so you have not played a dracthyr yet. Go play it and just imagine it on any other class. Its laughable that you would come at me like this as if blizzard doesnt take 3 year cycles to listen to feedback.
Yeah lets wait until it releases, everyone switches to dracthyr and makes the game garbage to play in before calling it out.

God forbid we get something unique in game.

God please no. Just disable double jump for any spec that isn’t evoker and call it a day.

It needs a 2 min cooldown shared with the goblin gliders and shouldn’t be able to be used in arenas/dungeons/raids/ etc.

What great gameplay to mash your space bar to move just a little bit faster
No if they havent removed shadowmeld for night elfs they dont need to remove this. Plus the double doesnt negate kites. A mage can still slow and freeze them in place even if rhey double jump (have u played evoker or dhs before?)
Ur thread is pointless just like the others.

unique and game balance busting are two entire different things. let them have dragon breath as a racial then. not unlimited potential for mobility. its such a massive leap in power for other classes that its insane to defend it as just another unique racial.
They are getting rocket jump for goblin as a spammable but its just a shorter range.
It isnt rocket jump, it isnt unlimited potential for mobility.
U dont know what ur talking about

shadow meld is a tiny little move you can use to outskill people and gives a slight edge. its not spammable infinite mobility increase.

Worgen = Darkflight reworked into a double sprint
Tauren = Bull Rush, Deep Breath as a ground charge with no target.
Draenei = Gazel Leap 
exactly!
Vulpera = Rapid Dig, they can dig fast allowing them to escape quickly.

Balance busting… Crap. A dragon guy jumping higher than you won’t kill your game.
