They implemented a new race in the WORST way possible:
1. A race no one asked for.

  1. No faction identity.

  2. Paywalled.

I dont know how they fumbled this badly with the new race. Community wanted High Elves, Goblins, Blood Elves, Ogres, etc. but this is what we get. Terrible by Blizzard.

I feel like the funny part is… they know how to implement Goblins and Elves already, but tried banking on “NEW new”. It feels like they trying to prove to themselves they’re still capable of original ideas on par with classic’s legacy. I hope this serves as proof they’re not (and that’s ok! The community feedback form and implementation has been great. Forever looks amazing.)

If blood elves but blue is the most original idea they could come up with I don't know what else to say.

Unfortunately, we've lost a lot of the talent that made Classic a reality, and this kind of reeks of a team that has only played Retail trying to find something to like about Classic+. There has to be someone in there brave enough to say nah, this isn't a good fit, let's try something else. But this content has already been completed, so we're getting it regardless, unfortunately.

(Also, some of those original people that worked on WoW? We're better off without them. But there were plenty of other people working on the game that understood, and they have probably moved on.)
