CC Member's take on Race/Class Combos

[Letholas-veknilash]

With all due respect to Letholas, with how vulnerable the Alliance is at this moment in time in terms of both popularity and population, saying that equal race/ class combo balance between Horde and Alliance should not matter is concerning and shows no regard for the wishes and opinions of the playerbase.

I understand that many people want more combinations. Some on GD and the CC have vouched for everything to be opened. Personally, I don’t feel that customizations for everything needs to be a thing. Part of a class fantasy is what armor you can and can’t wear and what weapons you can and can’t use.
For me, that’s part of a racial fantasy as well. Certain races simply cannot be certain classes and I have never had a problem with that, because that is part of the MMO fantasy in my eyes. If you want to play a warlock, here are your options of race. If you want to play an Orc, here are your options of class. It’s not hidden behind anything, it’s not malicious in any way, shape or form. It’s part of the game.

@New Race/Class Combos for 10.0 that have been "Established" in the Lore?

I have never thought to count how many combinations are available to each faction because it doesn’t matter to me.

I actually have checked, and both sides have an exactly even amount of race/class combos.

For every race’s class options, the other side has a race with the exact same number of combos.

I only just learned that it is currently even. I had no idea to be honest. What Maizou pointed out in the thread, and what I am responding to, is that with the new combinations coming in 10.0, they will become uneven.
