So opening mages, priests, and rogues to all classes do not improve Alliance Horde imbalance. It just creates more reason to swap to Horde period. Players do not want there to be factions anymore. The in-game racist lore is outdated.
Now:
Orcs get priests, Tauren get mages and rogues, HM-Tauren get all 3.
On the alliance side, it’s just Draenei and LF-Draenei getting rogues. - Ditju, WoWHead Commentor
I literally do not understand why we don’t have Night Elf Locks, Human Druids, or Worgen Shammys.
See my point. There are limits in place for some reason but now the lines are being blurred and it’s not favoring or fair to Alliance-based players. Horde is already the most popular as the narrative is one that most laypeople feel drawn to. But now that we’ve experienced an alternate plane that decides the fate of your soul - we need to do without Factions and play the game openly (sans Factions) among players to help with LFG wait times and playing with your friends.
I’ve wanted to create a Mag Har Shadowpreist for the WoD feels so that’s upper but more needs to be done to reconnect classes, races, and overall skill/talent flavor. Keep working Blizzard you have lots to do when it comes to rebuilding a once enjoyable game.

They said exactly why in the interview where these changes were revealed. Those classes require more in game assets and lore support to work. Ion came within an inch of saying the other race class combos are coming, when they can do the work to make them work.
Believe me I am anxious for a Tauren warlock as anyone, I am confident it’s on the todo list.

In every game I have played at the time, the only way to play a Shaman was to play a human. When World of Warcraft came out the only way, I could play a Shaman was to go Horde and I chose Orcs as it was the only race I could tolerate to look at. Since then, the only race I play in WoW is Orcs and I have accepted that I cannot play all the classes because of that choice.
When these options do become available, I would gladly love to try the last few classes in the game I never played. Someday I will force myself to play some of the other races for the achievements but still don’t see myself doing it anytime soon even though achievements I my driving force in the game.
But as far as Alliance vs. Horde, i never understood why they didn’t allow some from both sides to join the other side or join a neutral faction. It was available in EQ 2 when you wanted to bring an evil race that was only available in Freeport to the City of Qeynos through faction grinding. The only thing was a Death knight would become a Paladin when the conversion fully happened or vice versa if it was an evil class vs. good class.

As an Alliance player I need human shamans and druids. I’m still pissed that the only way to be a human druid currently is to play the ogres–I mean kul’tirans that they gave us as an allied race.

The KT player models are absolutely hideous.
Really hoping blizz gets on the ball and gets all the race/class combos out. would love to play a regular human shaman as those KT models are straight up awful.

They will allow orc priests to happen for about 1-2 years. THEN they will announce gnome palys.
A week after that they will announce that racials are disabled in PvP for balance reasons.
All those orc RMP in arenas, mmmmmmm, arena tears in 10.0 will be delicious.
But absolutely plausible.

Don’t get me wrong, but the Mag’har is an Orc race already able to be Priest. So really nothing is being added other than finally the Green skinned Orcs get it. Just like they finally got to be Mages after years of only having Warlocks. I really look forward to trying Paladin once available as an Orc.

Alliance has more healers in PvP so I am hoping orc priests helps correct that problem.

Oh no - you’re right.
If they go through with these changes, Alliance is at risk of becoming underpopulated.
Pinning Humans against Orcs is racist.
tbh I don’t see it doing any harm. Tauren mages I don’t see being popular, tauren priests are already unicorn teeth as are Mag’har priests. The only two I could see people going for are draenei and tauren rogues for the novelty.
Before this change the alliance has 101 combinations total
The horde has 101 as well
With this change it will become 103 alliance and 107 horde
So ultimately the horde will have a total of 4 more options than the alliance.
Is not worth being upset over
Although if we really needed equal numbers, open up shaman to all races.
It will give the alliance 7 new options and the horde 3 making it 110 each
