That one sentence perfectly sums up the racial trait change.

Not really. It was necessary simply because of racial change potions. I KNOW without a doubt that had the RoK racials been left in that guilds would start requiring members to change to dark elves or erudites for dps classes because of the racials. They had to be made more generic from a min/max standpoint and even though there are still some good benefits, especially for fighter races, overall it's a much more bland and balanced system as it is now.

I'm not saying I really like the changes. I think each race should have had a little more personal attention given to it and I'm really upset that my kerra lost his 15% stealth speed, but I understand why the changes were necessary.

YA RLY!

It was neccissary because SoE needed to steal some more money is what you're saying?

Umm... no they wouldn't. The temp buff they got is nothing compared to the new fighter racial traits and mage / priest combo racial traits.

YA right.

25 dollars is way too much. I was hoping most 10-15. Its a video game....not 1/2 a tank of gas, or 1/2 an entree out at dinner, or a pair of nice socks!

25 bucks is too much for a race change.

I agree...

$25 for a race change is a rip-off!

$25 for a race change that is only necessary because they preemptively sabotaged the game is outrageous!

He's trying to make you look like a conspiracist. The sad thing is it's not a conspiracy, it's quite transparent SOE knew exactly what they were doing when they changed racials then immediately offered racial potions.
