I really don’t like to come to the forums but this requires a post. I don’t understand why you changed the racials so much from the original bc. As a night elf, you’ve destroyed shadowmeld to the point that no one uses it anymore. All you have to do is check the stats on how much shadowmeld was used in the original bc vs now. Blizz used to be a great company so i’m sure they still have those stats somewhere. There’s probably going to be a 99% discrepancy since shadowmeld has been destroyed and is nothing like the original bc.
Also, you buffed the orc racial so much that almost half the time, my cheapshot is resisted. It was never like this in the original bc. I don’t understand why you changed bc so much and i’m sure your numbers are telling you that people are quitting tbc classic at a faster clip than the original bc.
The fact that wow’s been rigged for the horde for the longest time is what destroyed retail and you lost millions of customers because of this. People wanted to play classic because they wanted to get away from the stupidity that retail has become BUT, it’s the same in tbc classic.
This is why blizz is the company they are today and it’s sad. For a game that’s supposed to be faction based and equal footing for both factions, you’ve destroyed your game by making one faction so overpowered that people have no choice but to play horde. It’s sad to see.
What exactly did they change about shadowmeld and buffing the orc racial? They nerfed it went from 25%-> 15%. Not to mention retail alliance racials are better than hordes but theres a majority of players playing horde weird I guess it shows most players care more about the race than the racials themselves.

An alliance team won the first big 3 v 3 TBCC tournament…

The horde “thing” (ie fanboi frenzy) is further exacerbated by Blizzard continually reinforcing that Horde is the “cooler, edgy” faction. In my view, this translates into much of the pvp numbers imbalance that, once rolling, becomes a huge avalanche. It’s almost too late to repair or would require some drastic bandaids such as they attempted with improved alliance pvp rewards in retail.
“You’re welcome Alliance!”

I mean they are the cooler faction. lots of players are sick of the same races and lets be honest as a new player I saw Alliance as good guys while Horde as bad guys (despite it technically being both sides are bad) so I chose the “bad guys” also agree with what they fight for so thats a bonus.
Lets be real, it hasn’t been Blizzard/Blizzard North in more than a decade.
Various companies have bought and resold the name, but the intangible assets, like goodwill, talent and customer service, eroded and became worthless memories, long ago.
Call it what it is, Activision.

Probably only because all teams need rogue / mage to win and human racial is good versus it. 
Outside of that, horde racials seems to be stronger.
OP i have you have someone supervising your drug trip, because youre clearly not all there right now.

Yeah, seems for you, that doesn’t mean its true.
But what you think is the ultimative truth you little biased wannabe? 
Human Racial is the only one that is somewhat strong, but only because rogue and mage is so overtuned, so get use out of stealth detection.
Since Priest and WL are also strong, Undead racial is bringing in some weight. Orc racial is without a doubt the best PvE racial and also doing work in PvP. On top of that you have a reduced chanced to get stunned. And so on.
So why don’t you come up with some arguments to cover your impression, because - and I hope you will forgive me - your opinion alone is worth … nothing!
Well, it is, but it’s polite to pretend it isn’t.

Read the whole post, still not sure what changed about SM
Nice I cant really bring myself to do it since the races arent that good
How’s that? (PvE wise)
Orc got mini enrage.
Troll got mini lust.
B’elves got mana regen.
Tauren got AoE stun.
Horde got much more superior racials PvE. That’s for sure. Even in PvP Ocs got stun resist and undead got full on fear immunity.
Pretty sure the shadowmeld you’re referring to was added in Wrath - the one you could use to drop combat.
You’re wrong two times.
Shadowmeld operating like Vanish didn’t happen until after TBC.
Hardiness actually got nerfed down to like 15% or something.
Big mad for no reason.
Ok wow one example? Guess the jury is out boys, ally is best racials.

I find that actually knowing how to play surpasses any talent or racial ability.

Please explain how a self inflicted mortal strike is worth using?
I don’t even have that on a keybind even though it grants spellpower/healing power.
