Isn’t it about time that we got some more race options for Shamans, Druids and Paladins?
Some major disparity compared to most other classes.

Earthen Druid was such a wasted opportunity… with a golem as bear form:

It makes no sense to me why Dwarven races cannot be Druids. They are clearly inspired by Celtic culture, and the Druidism was a big part of that. Dwarven races have strong connection to nature, so why they cannot be druids? We literally got Drustm before the Wildhammer druids, lol.
Also, what happened to the Primalists? I thought the “misguided” ones were accepted back. At least in Amirdrasil there were some Primalist Night elves, does this not mean almost every race should be able to be Shaman now?
Very frustrating when Blizzard starts/states something, then leaves it unfinished until there is a big problem (another lawsuit) or the community complains loudly.
We already have stone/earth bear forms, we even got earthen werebear before the drust one, idk why they did not include it, perhaps the race would be a bit more popular than it is right now. Spotting an Earthen player in the game feels as rare as encountering a cryptid.
And Demon Hunters! And Evokers!

Yes to Paladin Dracthyrs 
if it makes good sense in the lore and doesn’t make us into fortnite, sure.
Meanwhile, according to the latest book Exploring Azeroth: Islands and Isles, all the Nightborne warlocks have been banned from Suramar.
Lore & class combinations will never be on the same page won’t they…
When every class can be five races that were previously locked to specific races, that whole argument doesn’t hold much water.
and yet, we are still a mmoRPG first of all, and we will abide by that.
And yet they’ve already removed those restrictions for other races. Seems petty to insist only three classes should be held to this standard.

these three classes are
- iconic and representative of races and/or factions in past games
- expanded in world of warcraft just enough to balance the online matches
- very resource-demanding since they need specific mounts, lore and shapes
the restrictions that were removed so far cost nothing: they created a reskin of original races and called them allied races, then they unlocked new combos for base classes that needed zero work done.
i am hopeful that the RPG part in this mmoRPG can still stand, and i welcome how drachtyr cannot be death knights (for they were not even around when lich king rules northrend) for example. other than that, anything that makes sense is welcome.
Seeing how it suddenly stopped, guess Metzen might have said no.
Druids were great to add at the end if DF. Paladins solid this expansion.
“all classes all races”

The same could have been said of any previously restricted class but they’ve all been relaxed and can be anything. So the same should be extended to the remainder.
We even had that questline in DF started at Tyrhold expanding on Paladin races but nothing since.
And not like DF was the first expansion to sprinkle room for more paladin races. Like Legion and that one night elf.
Meanwhile gnomes got 1 hunter with her questline and boom, gnome hunters and mecha pets.

They’d need to make new mount/totem/forms for that and we both know blizzard aren’t about to spend time doing that.
They don’t have to. Make something generic, then possibly add stuff later, or make it customizable like demo pets.
