I was disappointed that each class didn’t have its own special racials, I thought it was a really awesome feature of the game.

I can sympathize with Blizzard on the issue of Priest abilities. Invariably, in trying to give flavor to the different races, and to make the Priest class extra-unique in its own way, they created an imbalance. This imbalance resulted in people not playing how they wanted, but making selections such as race a minute detail which could potentially cause 1 player to be excluded as opposed to another for raiding (Honestly, though, how many guilds are THAT overwrought with Priests that they can afford to be picky?).

On the other hand, too much homogenization can be bad. While I can understand that everyone wants to play, and they want to play the way they want to, its going to be crippling to those who sold themselves on the unique advantages that their choices brought to a group and a raid. Not to mention, there is a certain element of fun in getting into the spirit of the character, which is assisted by the different unique abilities, even if you aren’t a “roleplayer”, per se.

I guess maybe my reaction was a little extreme (I’m the very last one, macanima), but I can’t help but think this new homogenization thing Blizzard is doing sort of sucks. Spellpower I was okay with, though it doesn’t sit super-correct with me. The news that +hit would work for spells, melee, and ranged was what made me go “bwuh?!” And this last bit about priest racial spells going away is the newest in a line of ways I feel they’re trying to make the differences between the classes go away.
