Yeah good point. Ion did actually lie out of his teeth about them. I remember reading after a Q and A or sometime around that you only needed the war campaign done.
Nice to know they were being dishonest by leaving out the other method.
I can't quite wrap my head around it, I know it's probably just me, but:
Do the story of Kul Tiras as your main character.
Unlock Kul Tirans.
Go back to content where Kul Tiras is completely cut off from the world, and play in content that is in the past, and in a world where there are no Kul Tirans running around.
Level up to the content where the story is you playing as an outsider, learning about Kul Tirans, and helping re-unite the houses of Kul Tiras...as a Kul Tiran...doesn't the whole Alliance story play out as you being introduced as an outsider by that female NPC? (That's what I recall from watching videos.)
It kind of feels cosmetic to me. Being a Kul Tiran doesn't change the story at all, you're still you, playing in a different skin. It's not content. Content would be quests and activities playing from the point of view as a Kul Tiran.
But, there's no way they could do it right, except make them a choice from day one, and have a starting zone at 110 that's a Kul Tiran exclusive storyline, that skips the majority of the Alliance campaign, so you can jump into the plot as a Kul Tiran who's now in the Alliance. Which will never happen. But would be fantastic. I'd resub to try something like that. Same for Zandalar - no interest in resubbing and have to level a horde alt all the way, to unlock them, to do it again, with the same disconnect from lore and story, playing as a Zandalar in content that hasn't seen any, or is at war with them, like in Pandaria.
It's getting to the point they need to stop forcing players into story and content that makes no sense for the race. It's so convoluted and dumb now. Allied races should start at the level of the content they're released into, and they should have their own start zones and stories, like Draeni, Blood Elves, Goblins, Worgen, Death Knights, Pandas, and Demon Hunters got. This current iteration makes no sense, it's not content, it's purely cosmetic in my mind.
And it's just a godawful mess, lore-wise, from a player perspective.
Mate the story has been a disjointed mess since Mists at least. But at least Mists had some coherency.
Allied Races in general are just trash. They should have been available from launch. The Legion 4 anyway. This whole "lore" and "earning their trust" shit is just a crappy way to timegate it. Nothing more or less.
The unlock quests when you get the requirements done are trash too. Just a glorified scenario then they are all like "FOR TEH ALLIANCE/HORDE".
Yep.
Anyone who thinks the Allied Race system isn't about selling those £19 race changes or AAA game priced boosts is flat out lying to themselves.
I mean sure FF14 has nowhere as near as many races but at least I don't have to jump through hoops to play as the two they added.

you do know undercover cops do that all the time right? they allow minor crimes and sometimes even larger crimes be commited if that means they are able to capture as many people as possible, and get them for the crime you are sent to get them for.

so you do understand normal sized kultirans would have different racials then large humans right...?
if you wannt play a normal sized kultiran
just play a human.
Honestly they reap what they sow with this game mate.
I mean I still love the game but bloody hell is ActiBlizz driving it into the ground from a having fun perspective.
They need to get their shit together fast and start making a game that's fun again. Not one focused on worthless metrics like time played.
Because time played does not equal fun. Especially if you put carrot on the stick content in the game.
anyone else think it's funny that the fat humans can swim faster?
No sense crying over spilt beer, unless you're drunk...
The blizz white knight is here. Felplague, you are so ridiculous that you quoted the message I posted twice.
