I would really like to see a feature that allows us to change our character’s racial appearance permanently (and be changed whenever we choose).
The issue mainly is that sometimes people want variety with their character’s appearance whether it be for a new mog or role playing purposes without having to pay for a race change.
Also many people play specific races for the performance racials and do not want to change their character’s race, they merely want a different appearance.
Gleeful Glamour consumables allow this but have a 2 hour cool-down when the longest possible duration is 1 hour.
If the gleeful glamour cool-down was removed, that would be perfectly fine because I would just buy like 10-12 gleeful glamour scrolls per day or for however long I play.
This would also assist the community who wants to see all classes for all races.
Yes it can be a lot of work to make new paladin mounts and shaman totems but this would at least give everyone the option to appear as a different race even if the race/class restrictions do not allow it.
Because, if you had read my whole post, you would know that not all races can be all classes.
So, just to give you an example, since you aren’t familiar with this concept: a shaman cannot be a human, a druid cannot be a panda, a paladin cannot be a Vulpera, etc.
There are other examples that I’d be happy to provide for you should you communicate your desire to learn more about this topic.
I read your whole post, but it’s intentional that not every race can be every class.
So why would Blizzard give up an easy stream of revenue? What would you suggest to replace this revenue stream? They’re a business first and foremost, they’re not going to just let us change our race at the drop of a hat because some Worgen DK on the forums is bored when they could make money off an automated service.
Do you remember the holiday post that showed a sleigh flying over places that weren’t Orgrimmar and Ironforge and the forums were convinced we’d be getting a sleigh mount for Winter’s Veil?
If they were planning on removing race and faction changes they would make an actual blue post about it and not some one off social media post for engagement.
