You knew it was coming 6mnds ago, so you had plenty of time to prepare yourself.
Jesus christ at least read the thread. What about people who come now, who didnât have 6 months? Some peopleâŚ

Itâs more to do with this topic being posted about 3-4 times a week and no one follows the rules on posting.
Thatâs where the term âALLIED Racesâ come in. Factions we meet in the narrative whoâs trust we have to earn from a storyline perspective. Although at the end of the day they are just glorified sub-races and an existing version of the same race is already playable in WoW the moment you log in. Races are cosmetic, no matter how you argue the opposite.
I definitely have empathy as I too have a friend that started playing WoW as a new player and understood the requirements and conditions that Blizzard have set. In the case of all Allied Races they were announced months before they actually released. She was content working towards those instead of getting everything straight away because she was also just excited to see what WoW had to offer.

I found that if i started out without setting a time target for getting it done, then It just happened. Then there is the DM faire that really helped and contracts. I enjoyed playing with my alliance char because of this. And now I find im playing horde less.
Well that worked because they werenât out, you didnât have to hurry, but if you bought BFA to play a kulâtiran, and they were out, and you had to farm for 1-2 months just so you can play them, would pretty much suck.
âHey you finished the storyline, helped us in all ways possible, but you gotta do WQs for month or two moreâ
âYeah but I helped save BoraâŚ-â
âDo the WQs, month or twoâ

Itâs not stupid as long as the content is still relevant.
Now if you pre-order (or buy the premium version of) the next expansion, not only will you get a free level 120 boost but all races unlock.
Blizzard should pay me for this.

- Every Man for Himself
Humans can shake off debilitating stun effects.
- Diplomacy
The straightforward and outspoken humans tend to get along well with other races and gain their trust with relative ease.
So that is cosmetic skill?
And I still cannot play Pandaren Druid, so I must grind Kultirans to make a Druid.

Wouldnât that be your own fault? You are responsible for being informed about what you purchase. Itâs like the droves of players who complained when the first four ARs came out and claimed not to know that conditions applied to play them even if you pre-ordered BFA whereas the announcement they had requirements had been known for some time.

I think youâre labelling this the way you want to.
Letâs take a step back and ask why they couldnât have been released as a character with no rep grinds, but instead a quest chain.
Or perhaps an unlockable for beating x raid?
Iâm not saying rep grinding is a bad thing, I just think Blizzard are very poor at designing the way you do it.
As I said I donât personally mind it, but it would be nice to see Blizzard take a different approach for unlocking a race/races.
It mixes it up a bit and would also benefit the player as well as Blizzard.

Yes, but even returning players donât expect it to take 1-2 months of WQs farming to unlock a race, we all know reputations took less than a week for most expansions, but suddenly 1-2 months, just to play a new featured race.
There he said it. I was replying to post he wrote to me. He was making imagenary image or posters who disagree with you when none of them have actually said that thing. That is just what it sounds to him. And that is what i was pointing out.
Also if you read my original post here i was not even asking anything for myself i was just saying i used to think like many who oppose this but after i saw a friend coming back to wow and then again quitting because of the new limitations, that i changed my mind. That i understand why he left.

This is just utter BS and you know it, ppl have been asking for stuff to do for ages and now they gave us something to work for and the reward? Allied Races.

I read your post and my statement still stands 
Waiting for new WQs day after day for 1-2 months doesnât count as content, itâs dragging it on and making players unhappy for no good reason. If you make a quality game, you donât need such lowly tactics to keep people playing.

Just give tabars to get that reputation faster, or boosters like in Pandaria!

It sounds like phone game with microtransactions. But do you play on phone?
Tabards would make it very fast, could ruin paragon.
Whatâs fitting for current situations, is to make 250 rep tokens that drop 1 in 1000 island expeditions, drop from more sources and more often, so people can farm them.
Or to make final bosses of Kulâtiran dungeons give 250 kt rep, final bosses of Zuldazar dungeons give 250 zandalari rep, but only until you hit exalted, like it worked in TBC.
It does sound like phone game tbh, WQs are such terrible feature.

Do I think that they should be available without doing anything? No.
Do I think there some be some difficulty to getting them. Yes.
Is the current way too difficult? No.
Is it time consuming? Yes.
Should the time taken be reduced? Yes, by about 50%.

Thatâs pretty much what weâre saying, should not take 1-2 months, 3 weeks tops.
It was ok for magâhar because they had 3 zones, so it was 3 weeks max, but this is 1 zone, so it goes nearly 3x in time. I mean it was stupid, having to wait 3 weeks just to play magâhar you wanted to play since start, but people sucked it up. I donât see new players or returning sucking this one up. This kind of drama will just keep dragging on for months on forums until Blizzard relents.
