Balance racial traits.

[Whereitends]

Hello,

I was curious if the devs have ever considered balancing the game in the way of racial traits? Currently it is fairly well known that the human racial is overpowered in pvp. On Icecrown 2v2 arena bracket for example, there are only 17 horde teams in the top 100. None in the top 20. 1 in the top 30. 4 in the top 50. Why not let players choose their racial abilities and balance the game? I think this would also help to balance the server population by not forcing players to roll alliance just for the pvp racial.

I'm not really looking to get into an argument about it, I don't have the time and I just play for fun. But it seems like such a glaringly obvious imbalance, with such an easy fix that I am curious why it hasn't been considered.


P.S. Cannibalize doesn't even work correctly in PvP currently. So undead in their current form actually don't have a racial for pvp. With Will of the Forsaken sharing a timer with Medallion of the Horde.

....
-...Cannibalize....-

Glancing at this two parts of the post makes me imagine. Cannibalize on human, cannibalize on dwarf, cannibalize on tauren, cannibalize on both elven races....

overpowered in pvp were WotF/Hardeness providing 5 sec F/S/C immunity and 25% full stun resistance chance
EMFH just trades resilence for good stats

i would cry about perception more, because that racial is really op in stealthers world givin alliance rogue 100% opener

Icecrown hordes are terrible in pvp - the reason is not racial choicebut skill of the players
These who have bad computers compensating in healermades
These who have good computers compensating in multiboxing(=wintrading)
Others just lose

Arena... you know what happens on arena, qued 30 games met one horde team past 1800 rating, half of the horde pvp guild members donate for wrathfull offparts
