I look forward to new covenant options, but agree, this would be simple and require less balancing.
One covenant gives a free heal, one has leech, one has AoE spell etc. That would be easy and your choice is less important.
Personally I don’t mind making a hard choice that may end up being balanced later.
Race choice, class choice, aldor/scryer, professions to an extent they all have barriers that prevent just hopping back and forth.
Strawman, no actual argument from you.
And you said nothing at all
Not true but keep lying.
Same to you
I can kind of see both sides on the issue. Some players want to be all-stars in all sectors of the game and others want to feel like their choices actually matter instead of being totally inconsequential like their transmog or something.
Maybe a solution that meets halfway could work something like the Nazjatar guardian system, where you pick your covenant for the day and each covenant can be leveled separately. This adds a bit more gravity to the choice but allows more flexibility for the players willing to put in a little extra work for it.
A one day cooldown on Covenant switching would be fine, unfortunately Ralph is gonna pop in and call you a min-maxer who’s ruining the game. 
Professions weren’t a choice you were right or wrong . And race class combos let’s look at where it is most strongly in effect classic why are there so many dwarf priest ?
I said everything shouldn’t be able to be done by everyone. You made up some nonsense that I never said and tried to claim we had equal input, which is false. Keep your fallacies to yourself.
More than just a cooldown on switching, this adjustment would add a little depth to the system, with most players choosing primary, secondary, and tertiary covenants with each getting time investments according to what the player does most. So for example Orcy Mcraidpants would choose the best one for raiding as his primary covenant, but he does casual BGs in his downtime and would choose the best one for PvP as his secondary covenant.
I’m definitely no minmaxer though lol, any minmaxer looking at my armory would probably run in terror. I’ve also played fire mage since vanilla, so no FotM class switching here either.
So as a person that likes open world , dungeons and raiding and occasional random BGs , I should pick just one activity to focus on instead of and fully enjoy just that and stop finding enjoyment in how I want to play the game?
Make the covenant abilities into talents .
So in your opinion Paladins and Druids should be removed from the game?
What? Yes they were. Engineering was strong in pvp until they nerfed it to death. Races like dwarf priest… was a choice to be op. Race changes are not free because they want consequence to change them. Just like professions cost gold and time to swap. But you guys just want all the advantages of covenant to be accessible with no drawbacks? No.
You should be strong in whatever area you want to be strongest in. You shouldn’t be able to swap at leisure.
Didn’t say that try again. Keep making strawman arguments.
But they shouldn’t be able to do everything right?
They can’t. Soo try again.
Sure they can. They can heal, they can tank, they can dps.
They can’t do everything those classes can do. So no.
