may not be a fotm issue at this time, in vanilla some races were a big deal.
Dwarf priest being a pretty good example, now some people are still stuck with the dwarf.
If you think those people picked that race class combo because hey liked it you are mistaken.
They picked it because if you had to choose a nelf priest or a dwarf priest you would pick the dwarf every day.
This game is all about making choices, and how those choices matter. I picked a race I like, even though human was the best option for Alliance rogues in PVE and PVP for Vanilla and TBC. I don’t have any sympathy for the meta chasers. They benefited from their choice in Vanilla or TBC. If they just have to be a difference race now, they can always level another character.
Not all meta chase this though.
some have an 80 and are bored with the race.
and making a new one isn’t a speedy process.
and for 1 last bit of fun, now that 80 has unlocks like mounts and titles they don’t want to redo. Or can’t. classic sealed on tbcc. tbcc sealed on wrath.
this is why retail has race change popular. you will find the void elf with achievements and mounts from OG vanilla up the expac list. the void elf was something else before. and the void elf is not even a caster. Its best racial is only applicable to casters.

@blizz please let us know when this is coming, many players are trying to prepare for this in different ways
Unviable race? You do damage just fine… Maybe it is you and not the race
Actually it isn’t anywhere close and explained why in this post.
Yea I’ll likely skip this phase too because not playing till I can Race change and they add the Wrath features. I’m not leveling another warrior then deleting this main because they won’t add a Race change. Just take my money Blizz and let me play!! Jesus!!
Still viable just not meta, and idgaf about meta chasing so I will stay with my original statement.
Has nothing to do with Meta this was already explained. I want to make the correct build that makes me happy and does significantly more damage. Doing half the damage and not being able to wear certain gear isn’t fun.
Again not deleting my Main and making a new one because this very basic Wrath feature hasn’t been added yet. Many of us are still waiting for the actual release of WotLK. This version isn’t it. Which is why private servers are still so successful and if they can do it… so can Blizz.
The first thing im doing when faction transfers come out is changing this priest into a Dwarf. Humans are so overrated and overplayed. Like another poster said, it won’t magically give you a high arena rating.

done moanin?
Nope no motivation to even log in this phase when we are just missing core features. Really need a Race change to play. Leveling another character might be okay if they at least added RDF. This is a shell of Wrath of the Lich King. Hope the Devs get their act together.
There is zero reason for the game to not have these features. It’s just hurting the player growth and engagement.
The Devs are holding back Wrath Classic and it’s crazy Private servers can do it right when Blizz can’t. Adding Race change, RDF and more features will only help player participation flourish. Also replayability.
Players want to play Wrath but it isn’t Wrath till they add in the Wrath features.
Uh, did you miss the memo on the front page?
Wrath Classic: For a Limited Time Get Up to 30% Off on Paid Faction Changes (worldofwarcraft.com)
you can buy 2 faction changes.
This whole thread is loaded with
Seems like there is a problem with doing that as others have brought up in the thread. We should of had Race change on day 1 as well as RDF and Wrath population would of been booming and kept players instead of losing most of them.
Let me know how that goes 30 days after the cooldown on your first faction change expires 
good idea
They have mentioned that faction change would have came first, followed by race. Assuming all goes well with the faction changes and it’s not buggy as hell, hopefully we get race changes in a week or two.

“That would be a massive mistake. Wrath became the best expansion due to RDF and was the best feature ever added into WoW. It will only drive up population and help with gearing and finding new friends.”
RDF was only TECHNICALLY added in Wrath, it was added during the Cataclysm pre-patch. Wrath was already the best expansion before RDF was released, it was the absolute peak of WoW in relation to amount of active player base. RDF actually killed the game, with a drastic decrease in subscriber count. Having meaningful friendships in WoW died the day RDF was released.
Signing up for a dungeon for some bonus loot/exp, cruising through the dungeon, and then leaving the group and never speaking to those people again. What a spectacular social experience. Great idea.
This is not true. It was added in the major content patch. Numbers were trending down and after RDF subs hit their highest in WoW history. It was a major success and helped Wrath flourish bringing old players back and new players to the game by giving them a way to complete content that was fun.
RDF is the best feature ever added to the game. I’ve made more friends with RDF then without. It’s the best feature for leveling, targeting gear, and allowing players to complete content. That is why Wrath surged after it’s introduction. It was the single best QoL feature that helped players enjoy the game and get into Dungeons.
RDF was the ice breaker giving everyone a fair shot of getting into content and enjoying all Wrath had to offer.
Exactly.
Imagine an official post from blizzard with discounts for their "long awaited service - Faction Change!!! " and every response on that post was flaming them for being so tone deaf for not releasing race changes… no one wants to go to the dead side of their realm and then be forced to pay to transfer to a likely lesser non locked lower populated realm - Or the realms that have been staying afloat with slight faction balance of 30-70 get turned into 10-100. Im glad they are offering more services and its a step in the right direction but its so poorly executed… they should have done both at the same time if not race change - at least unlock realm restrictions along with faction change…
