    Customization for existing classes IMO doesn't add all that much aside from graphical flair. As much as I loved getting green fire at the time on my warlock & am still angry with Blizz for how they took away my Dalaran Brilliance back in the day, I feel like those effects are usually neat graphical flair, but fade into the background over time. Arguably, those customizations could be a hindrance & thus removed later if Blizz opts to redo a spec/class for future ideas.

    Comparatively, a new class adds a ton of flavor into the game. Most of them add new unique styles of play, such as the empowerment style the Evoker has. Plus, new classes always add a ton of depth to the story. Would WotLK have felt the same without the storyline of Acherus and the freeing of the Knights of the Ebon Blade? Would MoP have been as impactful without the Monk storylines to flesh out Pandaren culture?

    The fact that the expansions with new classes seem to be the most popular ones (WotLK, MoP, Legion, & DF) is quite telling as far as the effect a new class has on the game & the expansion world at large.
    I agree with you on that part that a new class brings a ton of flavor. However, if the class customization is in the form of a reward, maybe from a new glyph system, revamped archaeology, or just simply a quest chain, it will please some players that only main one or maybe two classes per expansion. A good example is artifact weapons in Legion. Maybe some class customizations will be race locked, so it will bring so many possibilities for expanding the lore.

    More class customization is more valuable but probably requires a lot more effort to do it well.
    A new class is going to always be hit or miss because not everyone is going to like them. For example I am disgusted by monks and evokers.

    So my wish is that the Hero Classes gain a talent tree of the same size and complexity as the class tree.

    Oh, and we DESPERATELY need new Glyphs. A Dark Ranger having to shoot Cobra Shot hurts our eyes too much...
    And my Orc DK is San'layn. That makes no sense, no thank you.

    Interesting thoughts. I threw a couple of my own opinions on your post, though admittedly several of mine were nitpicks on specific glyph choices you went with.

    I do think that system could add a ton of flavor to the game & would definitely be interesting for collectors, but I'm not sure that it would really add in a ton of depth to the story going forward. Part of what I love about new classes is the depth they add to the story & how much they add to the world at large. Your idea would be awesome in adding better customization & perhaps some depth to the story pending how your revamped archaeology works, but I'm still not sure that there would be a ton of replayability from it once I got the glyph I wanted done. I'd be pleased while getting my Thraegar glyph for instance, but once I have that glyph would I be doing anything else? A new class comparatively gives me new ways to play current and old content, should I so choose.

    New classes in that case, what you're describing is something the art department could largely do on its own.
