Directly from the interview. Does anyone even look at their character under all the armor? What a waste.
“This time they took the art team time that would have gone towards a new race or class and spent it on character customization”

Just like the time to redo leveling. They wasted effort and we suffer.

Seeing as so many people asked questions about transmogs, customization; the fact that we see so many threads about allied races; and the fact that most horde play belf despite orcs and undead having better racials should tell you that customization is a very important thing in this game and deserves attention.
We have a lot of classes to choose from. It’s good that they are retooling the ones we already have.

Character customisation has been the biggest request for the longest time though, and I think it is the best thing to be added.

Yeah, they care at a very high level about things like skeleton and cast animations. How many people do you think really care about the difference between facial expression 4 and 5? Once you get to a lower level, you dont even see the customization.
Especially since it cost a new class. It’s not like this is something they added in without cutting major stuff out.

It’s been at the top of a lot of people’s lists for a long time. And, yes, lots of people look at their characters. The hell is wrong with you?
I could just as easily say, I have never played any of the new classes, why even add more? It’s a waste of resources for me because I can’t bring myself to play a class without teleport.
There’s 13 classes with 36 individual specs. Is that not enough? They had to cannibalize Demonology to make half of Demon Hunters, already. Trying to balance 24 dps specs is already nearly impossible and you want it to be 25+? Jesus, ya’ll, get a grip.

It’s good rhetoric if it pays out. I guess we’ll see, if classes are still lame and I don’t have a Necromancer I may start to get peeved.

Death Knights are necromancers 
And even cooler, they are necromancers in the fray of battle, might and magic.

I like new stuff as much as the next person, but I think it is unrealistic to expect them to add a class with each expansion.

Every other expansion has been the pattern since the very start. Shadowlands was supposed to be next if the pattern continued. The entire point of expansions is to get something new. 9.0 may as well just be anither BFA patch with what we are getting.

Out of my whole entire time posting on the forums, I never thought I would see only 1 person who would be on here, complaining about Character Customization and calling it a waste of time.

And that stripper dance is the same on every draenei.
I have a challenge for everyone defending customization: recreate your character right now with the exact same customizations. If it was so important, you would know exactly which facial expressions and whatever to pick without looking.

Paladins are priests with a sword.
Demon Hunters are warlocks with a dual set of melee weapons.
Food for thought.
