Reminder: Don't level/boost a Human until

…we hear what is going on with racials. They could very well disable them in PvP (which is the wrong move imo).

I’ve heard they were testing a system which would allow you to choose your racial at the beginning of each match regardless of race.

They didn’t touch racials the last 2 expansions. To nerf them now is absolutely ridiculous. Horde enjoying 2 expansions of broken racials and now they’re crying. It’s just unreal.

If they actually change them it’d be beyond corrupt. They already gave them cross faction BGs because they all rolled horde for the broken racials, and now that they’re no longer best they must be removed??/

Are you kidding me? TBC arena is DOMINATED by racial choices. When was the last time you saw a nelf rogue above 1500?

DO NOT CHANGE RACIALS. LEAVE THEM AS IS.

Yeah it was radio silent until blizzard decided to not give in to faction changes. Mostly likely scenarios is they give in on Faction change, or they nerf EMFH. Horde PVP’ers are making ALOT of noise right now. And by noise I mean crying.

100% crying.

Leave the racials alone I like Arcane Torrent.

You mean PvPers… PvPers just play whatever race is the best, they dont care about Horde or Alliance, no one really cares about horde vs alliance anymore. “Horde- crybabies” doesnt even make sense, just like saying only children play alliance doesnt make sense… So lets just call it like it is, players, who cry about their advantages over others in pvp.

its mostly people playing horde right now who thought theyd be able to simply just faction xfer their toon (with titles, mounts, achievements etc) to a human for the BIS racial, at least thats what ive seen. Those are the ones who are now begging for blizzard to nerf it so that they can feel some relief about god forbid not being “bis”

Truth. I also know a few people who are using their 70 boost when wrath hits, to switch to human for the racials. For me, I play what I want xD.

Even without EMFH, I went human for the rep racial. I hate grinding rep with every fiber of my being and 10% faster rep grinds are a godsend.

The sad part is the human racial doesn’t even make a big difference until ICC trinkets come out. and I know this because of Pserver arena ladders. Horde still has really strong racials and I think youd be doing yourself a disservice rerolling a toon youve played for years and have titles, etc on just for a pvp advantage for 1 maybe 2 seasons out of 4.

They are only Horde atm because it’s advantageous. They aren’t real horde lifers they just move to fotm or whatever has the advantage.

Luckily wrath rep stuff is mostly account bound so you’ll only need to do the grind once.

While I agree they should not change the racials stop making this an ally V horde topic. Its a global corporation they dont care about factions in wow they care about the bottom line. This isnt some kind of favoritism.

They won’t be horde players much longer if they don’t get their way. Alliance getting some baby boosties.

I tend to agree, but I just think its funny that broken racials cough orc stun resist in vanilla were fine up until this point where it maybe skews a little towards alliance. just my 2 cents.

They just don’t want to spend money to boost an alliance, but they will if they have to.

I think that’s their last resort, but most of the people I’ve seen complaining are people with high up arena titles, zg tiger, alar, glad mounts, etc. I feel for them, I genuinely do, but to beg for it to be nerfed just because you cant have it… Childish.
