If the reason for bringing the Faction change to WoTLK was to “allow people to play with their friends”, then why would you implement it after the launch? Everyone is worried about the Faction change due to 1 specific race being stronger than any other for PvP (Human), and because of balancing issues the game already has on big servers.
There’s a correct way that would help the community and a wrong way that is just a cash grab that will hurt the community.
For example, If I want to play my Horde warrior with all my TBC progression with my friends who are now all rolling alliance for WoTLK and they are using new characters and are ready to go Day 1 of launch, then I’m still screwed. Having this Faction change come out would solve it, but only if its ready on Launch or at least the following week.
The blue post said it would come out on a “later patch” and not on launch day, but does it really kill you guys to give us some more info than that? I dont want to sit around and wait to level until this faction change happens if it really isnt happening months after launch. I personally like the change and was happy to hear about it, but its pointless in my opinion for the implementation reasons you, blizzard, mentioned if its released late in the expansion. It would only hurt the community at that point.

Blizzard isn’t known for having great communication. Sadly.
Hopefully, you’ll get this info soon.

They said it’s coming out at a later patch, so assume it will be out with Ulduar at earliest.
I hate the fact that people are and will use the faction transfer to chase meta racials now Alliance gets one race that has one for PVP only. You should have to level an alliance like everyone else did not swipe your card for more meta racials.

If I hadnt nuked my pink-haired Guh-nome Mage alt and reincarnated her as a Spacegoat at the launch of TBCC, I’d totally purchase a metamorph to do the same.
Everyone? Only about 10% of the classic population participates in rated pvp. Horde still have the superior PvE racials, but if anyone was going to swap to horde for that, they would have done so in TBC.
Faction Change in classic will not sway enough people one way or the other to actually matter. It sounds like its affecting your friend group so it feels like a bigger deal.
Blizzard already said that you can’t equip 10 and 25 man versions of the same trinket, so the big ICC doubling up of the same trinket when humans started to shine won’t even be coming.
Not only do you have to pay for a faction change, you also have to pay for a server transfer. Because unless you are on Grob, you are on a one sided server. An even bigger hurdle for people to justify jumping through.

Orc warrior who enjoyed the most OP racial in the game for 3+ years can’t wait to faction change to human so that he can enjoy human’s OP racial

They also said they wouldn’t implement faction change. RDF is inevitable. Embrace!
I think it really just comes down to blizzard having waited so long to implement it, that now it’s not going to be ready in time for launch. I don’t think it has anything to do with logical reasoning, and everything to do with general ineptitude.

Makes no sense to be put into a later patch.
Whole idea on allowing it is to play with friends ? So lets not have it ready for the whole levelling experience with friends/dungeon farming with friends and entering raids together with friends.
Lets bring it out when guilds and raid team’s are established making it even harder to join up with a friend or two who are already raiding in an established team with no spot for the player who faction change.
Just have faction/race change reasy for release, only had 6 weeks to get it ready
