It’s not a text-based MUD, so the animations and the way gear fit your character probably did drastically impact your experience, if you aren’t a psychopath.

Those racials that don’t amount for anything? If I cared about racials I would reroll Alliance or switch back to Goblin.
I don’t mind grinding. No one does… it is the mindless one track stupid road blizzard forces us on. Grinding can feel rewarding with every millimeter towards your goal. Time gated grinding nonsense that blizzard does never feels rewarding until you’re done and it is more like thank f’ing god that is over not really rewarding

To be fair, people who support this time gate nonsense gameplay are probably pyschopaths

Shill a little harder.

We haven’t had racial based animations across the board in about what? 4 years now? Especially melee which has been I think 100% uniformed. Casters have SOME slight variance depending on spell, but that is entirely dependent on what spell you use. Spriest for example has half their spells share the same animation regardless of race since every spell in voidform is the exact same.
Don’t they just unlock next expac?
Stating facts is apparently shilling. If I TRULY cared about racials I would be Alliance which has 5 races in the top 6 (3 above goblin) since DST is towards the bottom now with Berserking not syncing with cooldowns.
Even then, as I have stated before, the difference between the absolute best set of racials and the absolute worst is 1%.

I know, right? I’m still miffed about how the shoulders set on my spacegoats after the character model update. Don’t even wanna get me started on my human girls. Grrrrr
And there is your reason, really.
Zandalari Troll came along and those who wanted the racials for it on a capped character, what they do?
They paid for a race change. Because who wants to grind from 20 to 120 when you can hand over a few dollars and have it immediately (assuming you’ve fulfilled the rep etc requirements).
ch-ching!

Guess you’re new here OP. Posts complaining about the requirements for rolling an “allied” race are, amazingly enough, not new.
If you don’t like reading those posts, don’t open them. Getting all condescending while acting like you have a clue what’s been going on is like, grow up?

Fantasy is suppose to make you feel apart of the game but it’s BFA Rep only takes about 36hrs in time played. That’s not even difficult
Here somethings and sorry but = it has to be said. Those who favor the grind for races. Must have some seriously sad life. How messed up are you to promote such a sadistic grind on others. I did it. Because well I like doing stuff. I am fine for letting others do it their way. Guess why.
Just like every other game I had played. It the fun I get out of it that matters to me. I could care less about what others do in-game. It is their game. They pay their own money to play it. All that matters to me is that they enjoying the game I like. That is it for me.
Making people leave the game because you force them to do the things you like. Is a bad game design. It one thing I always had against this game. They try too hard to force their ideas and not what players want. You see the effects. This game had 20 years or more play value. They squandered it away on force playing the game they want to play. The slowly downgrading quality of the game shows the number is not good.
I.E. Look at how they speak in-game. never seen it like that in the past. Mouth does not even look like trying to make it real.

Don’t speak to me about facts, bro. In all of the years I’ve played World of Warcraft, all of the races came with the game without any form of a rep grind. That includes new expansion races such as blood elves, draenei, goblins, worgen, and pandaren.
After WoW subs tanked during WoD, Blizzard decided to hide subscription numbers and rely on vague time-played metrics and stretch out existing (sparse) content to milk existing players. That is when they introduced time-gated “allied races”. It’s a disgusting F2P tactic that doesn’t belong in a sub-based game.
You also just contradicted yourself and said that all classes play the same, but then also said that there are 5 Alliance races at the top. You can’t have it both ways. Races aren’t merely cosmetic.

Because everyone who played the game when those things were added had to do the same thing?
Why did we have to work but a new player doesn’t have to do that?
If kids had to do more in life than go to school and spend the rest of their time playing video games and watching tv half the ‘social’ issues we have today probably wouldn’t be a thing.

Because they do. Me doing 1% more magic damage as a Void Elf or whatever doesn’t suddenly change my rotation. I play the exact same. The only difference is my Chaos Bolt hits for 65,650 instead of 65,000. Woooo.
Also, you keep saying “time-gated” and “grinding” which I haven’t had to do once and I have had every AR besides DID/KT unlockable day 1 of their release.
Philosophical question. If your great grand parents had to ride a bike till 40. Because they had to earn the right to drive. They then force they same thing on you. Even though now days everyone drives. Is that fair.

That’s not even close to the same analogy.
That why my kids do not have smart phones. They only allowed 10 hours a week playing games. The rest we do stuff.
