Memes aside, Sky Elves might be okay?

Selling races is a much more interesting way to introduce a sustainable business model to WoW Forever than any other options to date.

Noone likes the WoW token (although we don't know just yet if it will be available)

Noone likes purchasable transmogs either (there are people who are even vehemently against it entirely)

Noone likes buyable mounts and/or mount skins

and clearly just having the sub isn't enough to convince the corporate overlords over at Blizzard, so there has to be a compromise, and I think this is the lesser evil.

Race unlocks are pretty cool, helps keep everyone from looking the same, and might introduce some unique Racials that can shake up the meta.

This is one qualm I have with it though, the fact that there may come a time where the "meta" race is locked behind a paywall. To be fair, I'm not one to pick a race for their racials anyway, but I do recognize it's potential effect.

What do ya'll think? Most people I see talking about the race seem to always only point out how they're "un classic" so I'd like to hear more about how people feel about it in other ways.
