That’s fine too. I was using soldier more loosely form the whole “taking orders from Nathanos / War Campaign” perspective. That comes off soldier-ish.
They don’t suddenly mean nothing just because members of the race/culture choose a different path, and in fact could even highlight the meaning by showing an exception. Also, race and culture having meaning is better told via interactions between the races/cultures, which is not dependent on what your character personally chooses to do.

Yes I do, as a HM Tauren warlock.
My chaos bolts and Immolates will set the world on fire and I’ll just watch in the distance.

who are you to deny a tauren the right to train as a rogue. i bet they could kidney shot just as good as anyone else.
D&D makes no sense.
So yeah it has burned down. You’re just so used to the nonsense that you wallow in it and tell yourself This is fine.
wow is already at that point.
At this point I feel they may as well, OP.
The racial/class restrictions are pretty arbitrary at this point. They may as well let the players have fun with whatever race they want, its not going to do any harm.

Homogenization is boring and dumb.
Don’t remove the little uniqueness that we have left.

I mostly just want to see all the druid forms and different totems.
Doesn’t really make sense. They’ve forced race/class combos into the game multiple times already. Just remove the restrictions and be done with it.

That’s not retcon. That’s expanding lore. There’s a difference.
Paladins are infused with the Light. Nowhere did it ever specify where that Light came from. Naaru didn’t exist in Vanilla. And Naaru are merely beings of Light. That doesn’t mean the Light can’t come from other places.
You’re kind of twisting some things there.

They do when the entire starter zone centers around that culture and the race itself. It’s the only time you get a true sense of that race.
How? Their storylines aren’t fleshed out through interactions with other races. Their culture isn’t shown through their different cities anymore. Blizz shoves everyone together, doesn’t involve all races or their distinctions most of the time, and everyone being every class just adds to bland homogenization. It doesn’t keep any sort distinction between anyone. And no interaction between some races is going to somehow miraculously fix that.
And that’s fine. The starter zone can be explored regardless of your class.
By highlighting the distinction between the races. The fact that it’s not (or no longer) being done is not a reason to force artificial distinction by limiting what class a member of a race can choose to be. A culture’s distinctiveness should be more than just about class, or it’s nothing but shallow differences and all the more reason to just remove the restriction altogether.
On my blood elf demon hunter, with a toy, I can become a space goat demon hunter any time I like. Albeit unfortunately for too short of a time.
All I want is a tauren rogue. It’s all I want.

Aside from very specific cases like Undead Paladins.
There’s really no reason every race couldn’t be ever class. There is no defined rules on who can and can’t be what, that’s just our personal headcanon.
Nothing is stopping a Human from learning Shamanism from Draenei, especially since its highly suggested human tribes before the kingdoms practiced shamanism. Infact Twilights hammer are just Dark Shaman and Priest, and their ranks are bolstered with humans.

Because and I say this because it is a stupid reason spewed by others in the forums.
Forum poster 1: Blizz make x race this (random class)
Forum poster 2: No
F. P. 1 : Why not
F.P.2 : MUH LORE is why not
F.P. 1 : But this character is so why not the players
F.P. 2 : Because MUH LORE
Your confusing a fundamental principle with one of the fundamental principles.
WHAT a Demon Hunter does =/= HOW Demon Hunter’s came to be.
Comparing a Demon Hunter’s initial transformation isn’t the same as becoming a Warrior either. If, to become a warrior, you had to be trained by Garrosh/Saurfang or Varian then that’d be the equivalent of becoming a Demon Hunter by Illidan. That’s not the only way to become a warrior though.
Illidan is the only way to become Illidari.
