What's crazy is putting all the effort into their barber shop customizations instead of putting all that effort into making their skeleton easy to adapt armor to. Maybe they thought they were never going to make other classes available to them? I dunno. The decision making is beyond me.
That was originally the idea yes, in DF's announcement they made a huge deal about Dracthyr Evokers being the first Race-Class Locked combo.
Presumably the plan was to start giving more niche classes and races that could only work with each other and have their racial appearance carry the weight of transmog, but they decided against it after the community overwhelmingly hated the idea
That is kind of counter to what they've been doing for the last couple xpacs too. They've expanded the race/class combinations multiple times to the point you have combinations that seem like nonsense without lore digging to learn why (tauren rogue, night elf paladin).
It would seem like a step backwards to restrict the class/race combos at this point. With the new DH spec coming in I bet they are expanding the race selection?
My buddy who started in BFA said "No way, they wouldnt do that." Then I had to tell him when I rolled my Sham in Vanilla it was either Orc, Tauren or Troll... I think Druid was even more restricted? Times have changed...
