I think your proving a point a little. One moment we are killing gods, the next we are hanging out thralls unmentionables. There’s no consistency in the story as far as our power levels as I mentioned above. Also, I don’t care what some novel ret cons as canon. If my player character did something in game, then to me I did that action. Anyways, I think to an extent our players ARE an exception, at least enough of one were we should be able to be exceptions to the rule in regards to class choice.

Why should the player be an exception?
If we wanna get into semantics, nobody has done it in a way that void elf paladins would have to.
Though Blizzard already laid the groundwork to get around that one. It was more of an example rather than “hey everybody on the forums please try to argue against the example and not the point”.
Agreed, Undead paladin when?
until blizzard decides they dont. Which is why it feels like an arbitrary barrier to fun.
(kinda like factions in 2024)
Depends on the context and the story being told. For classic it makes sense for the player not to be. For retail and games like ff14 it does.
Aka, the moment a character starts showing up in cutscenes.
I’d even go so far as asking for forsaken druids, the end of life is still part of the cycle and is required for the cycle to keep spinning
Yea thats fair
That doesn’t stop Void Elf priests, nor does it seem to matter for that one Velf Paladin in the capital.
Also when Void Elves were given high elf customization it was made clear that we’re expected to treat Void Elves like High Elves. Which we can’t really do while they’re locked out of Paladins.

Im so tired of the limited druid selection, ESPECIALLY on horde. Its so dumb that if you wanna be a druid you’re forced to be a troll or a cow.
i just wanna be a druid that can wear shoes
(in b4 just go ally, i did but my friend didnt)
I disagree on this primary point. Anything can happen within the rules of the setting, which is not always the same as “anything at all.”
But as luck would have it, Blizzard agrees with you on class restrictions. Their goal definitely seems to be the eventual complete removal of class restrictions, and they’re already there for most classes that won’t require a lot of new art assets. The remaining restrictions on Paladins, Shamans, and Druids are solely logistical, since each unique race requires unique assets for all these classes.
Evoker is a somewhat unique case, but I don’t think it’s too far outside the bounds of reason that some crazy goblin could work out the bio-engineering techniques of Neltharion and Nefarian and sort of “infuse” dragon DNA/essence into other races eventually, to give them Evoker powers.

Retail is an extension of classic, regardless of if you actually played during classic you the character are THE GUY/GAL who participated in all those historic events. That never changed and is a large part of the reason why you are treated special now, because it would be weird if you weren’t after all that.

Lmao thats literally one of the reasons I just don’t bother with druids
I don’t like elves, kul’tiran look bad in most transmog, rest don’t wear shoes

Some quests will actually give you different dialogs if you have done different stuff, I think it’s pretty cool.

Class restrictions made sense until they started allowing some cooked combos
Now it doesn’t make any sense and they should just let you be anything

which is so sad, because they’ve got hands down the best druid forms ever created, but you couldnt pay me to play that race as it is
I was close to playing one, cuz their forums are good
Just not good enough for the transmog loss

I bet you would if they added Skinny Kul’Tirans.

Thin man model is peak human performance.
Sorry, this isn’t 100% true for all players. What I’m referring to is the intro your player goes through. For example, if you played a Orc Warrior in classic then yes you are the random adventurer who eventually DID gain power, likely through honing their skills through their journeys. However, if you are a newer player such as a new generation death knight, or a player going through exile’s reach you are NOT the classic adventurer. Two different paths but end up at the same spot. That said, the players are both exceptions in their own ways based off events such as legion, shadowlands, etc. but the way we got there is different.
Nah
I like the big mode of kul’tiran
Just blizzard didn’t feel like making transmog look good
Most belts are super awkward on both of them, guys look weird in the majority of pants cuz they have weirdly thin legs, shoulders look off on the ladies
