It's just weird that someone would actually choose his race depending on what capital is closer to Vashj'ir. Also, I can think of lots of better things to do with 25 bucks, or whatever it costs.
Eh, I've seen people change race over the health differences and so on, it's really not as big a deal as you'd imagine. I've spent alot on transfers, racechanges and so on really, I can spare the cash ~.
