Dear World of Warcraft Development team,
Being a long time Death Knight and WoW player in general myself and other fellow DKs have a variety of concerns going into BFA that have yet to be addressed. These aren't new issues that have recently surfaced but ones that have been discussed time and time with to no avail, despite our constant communication and various posts via MMO-Champ, Reddit, and these official forums.

Shafted on New Races Every Expansion
We are no longer the 'new' flavor of the month class, we have been in this game going on over a decade now but still it seems whenever there are new races added to the game Death Knights are always forgotten.
No one is asking for every race to be able to roll every class but there are certainly good cases to be made for some of the Allied Races especially Void Elves, Dark Iron Dwarfs, and Zandalari Trolls. Truth be told there is absolutely nothing from a LORE perspective that is stopping any of these new races from being raised as Death Knights or even Pandaren. Before you could argue that the Pandaren were hidden away on Pandaria during Arthas' terror, but what about now since we have been raising new armies of DKs for the entirety of Legion? What is stopping us from taking one of these new dead Void Elvs and turning them into a DK knight before our Artifacts are stripped? You can even find a Pandaren DK follower that was added in during Warlords of Draenor.

Yes, Death Knights have a unique starting zone that requires them to start at level 55 thus giving them a huge head start on earning heritage armor; however the most simple solution is just to make them eneligible to obtain them and most earn them on another class. For example I've already taken the liberty of earning the Void Elf HA so in theory if they ever allowed VE to be DK's I could then use that on my DK.
Blizzard please, I beg you. Please do the right thing and just allow us Death Knights to roll new Allied Races. I want to be a Void Elf DK so bad, it make sense, and as a loyal DK for 10 years I've earned it.
2H Frost
I can't even begin to explain the overwhelming amount of support I've seen on various sites begging you guys to bring back two handed frost. This is one of the most iconic specs in all of World of Warcraft and it just doesn't feel right making it restricted to DW only. For me personally I have absolutely zero interest in playing unholy, that specialization is not fun and doesn't fulfill my fantasy choice.
Arthas wielded a
'2H' weapon called
'Frost'mourne. We are his raised forces made in his image, and last time I checked Arthas did not dual wield. Now that artifact weapons are going away, why do we still have to be pigeon held into use 1-handers...no wants like it!
If properly balancing 2H frost vs 1H frost is the main concern then at least for goodness sake then at least give us a Glyph or something that allows us to change the appearance into a 2H weapon. All of Legion I had to transmogg my stupid artifact weapon because these giant lame swords wouldn't sheathe on the back and it looked awful. We want the giant 2H badass axe!
