1% is insignificant when compared to the cost of changing factions. And that's just money, whereas recruitment is a much bigger issue. If that racial gets balanced, you'll be stuck in a faction that's less popular in high end raiding, making things far worse than before. You *might* kill one boss slightly earlier, but the risks outweight the gains.
Even if you buff the racials by 2-3% for Alliance, ahead of Horde, it will make no difference now. Everyone is Horde, and it's not just because of racials. People roll Horde because it's easier to recruit, find groups, play with friends, etc. It's like one of those rabbit holes you can't escape anymore, the sooner you accept it the better, I feel sorry for Alliance but that's just how the cookie crumbles.
Prot warriors being in the worst state for two expansions, no one being interested in playing Alliance but PvPers..., it's all just the flow of things.
You are 8/8 today, in this patch, in this xpac.
Where you always a cutting edge player? Today they might be "irrelevant" (i disagree, Troll is simming higher for several classes) but they tuned the racials down in LEGION. Before that, they were much more than "irrelavant".
Tbh it's a bit of hypocrisy to say "racials are irrelevant" from the guy who started a thread how his dps got nerfed because arcane torrent was put on gcd. He racechanged from Blood Elf to Undead afterwards, so it must have bugged him a lot.

But yeah, there was never a reason to swap to Alliance for pve racials. For pvp that's a different beast.

exactly
but it's BFA now not MOP
and racials are irrelevant now.
I never said racials were always irrelevant.
I went undead because the torrent nerf gave me an excuse to, because I like it more.Tbh it's a bit of hypocrisy to say "racials are irrelevant" from the guy who started a thread how his dps got nerfed because arcane torrent was put on gcd.

and if you actually read the thread, the problem with arcane torrent being on the GCD is that it affects the gameplay, and not the performance.
because I cant use it when I need it.
Because some people seem to have misinterpreted my post somewhat. I'm not saying racials make that big of a difference these days, but it was the thing that set all this off. And even though racials still do make an extremely slight difference, they are not the primary reason for people going horde now.
Speciation Is Gradual
They should release it for alliance instead and then horde can get it when alliance get 100 with cross realm.

If they buffed them to be 2-3% better than horde it would most definitely make a difference because a lot of the top end guilds like Method would switch instantly.
