Elaborate.
You are not physically watching somebody change their race, like some kind of shapeshifter.
The change takes place behind the scenes entirely. You would have literally no idea if somebody changed their race, unless it was somebody close to you.
You'd never know if somebody playing an Orc used to be a Nord, or vice versa. The Orc is not polymorphing into a Nord...
I've already told you how it's breaking the lore. In the lore wood elves are the only race that can change their race and only into monsters. It is not behind the scenes if it's happening in the game where everyone nearby can see.
Unless you keep tabs on everyone, which you don't ( ? ). As he stated above, your arguments are invalid. All you're doing is making stuff up to suit your own needs.
What breaks lore?
Logging into the game?
Interface (Resources, Actionbar etc)?
Opening a magical interface with all kind of fuzzy things?
Magically being transported to Cyrodiil?
Horse magically popping out of your pockets?
These are necessities and has nothing to do with lore and neither does the race change service. These are mechanical aspects, without these, you wouldn't be able to play the game.
Lore is not set in stone. It can be changed or more can be added. If they want "lore" behind the race change service then by all means, they can knock themselves out. The DLC for Skyrim added the Face Sculptor which allowed you to pay some dude to change your looks. So you see, nothing is impossible.
Are you dense? Logging into a game isn't breaking lore, interface isn't breaking lore, opening a magical interface isn't breaking lore, magically being transported to Cyrodiil has been explained through wayshrines not breaking lore, neither is a horse popping out of nowhere, I imagine that it is following you just like old school rpgs where you don't see your allies until a battle. Now when lore clearly states that wood elves are the only race that can change race that is breaking lore. So once again are you dense?

And here we go with the childish remarks. That's the telltale sign of someone who doesn't have anything useful to say.

But it isn't. It's happening mechanically on the server, behind the scenes.
You most likely won't even be able to be logged in on that character for it to take place, if it's anything like every other game that allows race changes. Thus, it would probably be a literal impossibility for it to take place "in the game where everyone nearby can see."
You seem to be talking about something else entirely from what this thread is about, which is some form of in-game shapeshifting. That's not what we're discussing here.
Your single point about wood elves holds no bearing on this conversation, because we are not talking about shapeshifting, we are talking about a paid race change that takes place while a character is not even logged into the game, due to technical limitations.
So again I ask, how is this breaking lore in any way? To a player, you wouldn't know if a race change has taken place, you would only know that there is a Nord (or Bosmer, or Argonian, whatever) standing in front of you.
Last week, he could have been an Altmer. Who cares?

Come on now. No reason to be nasty. I was just trying to help you out. I mean in your own earlier post you were calling someone out for mostly being rude and not really joining in the conversation. Then later in the thread you insult someone intelligence, because you don't agree with their view point. I mean you can disagree with someone and not call them stupid. Which i thought was the whole point of your quote. So to see you do it later it just made me giggle.
Although i was impressed how you make up reasons for how if something breaks lore and you like it, like a horse in the pocket. Oh i just imagine this! Or magic! But if it is something you don't agree with, oh no, don't touch my sacred lore!!

How is it that you can possibly accept that the interface isn't breaking lore, but a completely mechanical offline change of race is..

Yeah, Some of us (like me) have no problem with an offline race change.
I won't use it myself, since I have the races I want, but not going to lose any sleep over it either.
Laziness you are such a.... nice person. How is it lazy i dont wanna play the SAME Char an Build again to V12 and earn millions of .... PVP Points just because i dont like the face of my char anymore!

Still, the people against race-change are mostly not understandeable for me, they either don't present any arguments at all, or they come with arguments that I don't understand, so I assume it's simply hate.
Arguments of the people favouring a race change service are clear and understandeable though, as they present game situations how they currently are in the game. They made me aware though, that race-change should have a decent cost though, because changing from Dunmer to Altmer just because of a Vampire nerf should not happen, then Zenimax could leech out the money from people wanting to be 100% competetive.
Race change should have a cost, where one is willing to pay it once and after very good consideration, but not multiple times always adjusting to the current patch-state.
As I stated earlier paid race change is laziness!
You know I may be a bit off on this however it seems to me that the main reason people want a race change service is that they are to lazy to put in the effort starting from scratch with a new character. I'm not saying that's a bad thing (but it really is) Heaven forbid anyone actually put forth some effort. Most young video game players grew up with cheat codes and used them so they could win without any real work on their part. They expect to load up a game and be able to dominate it in a few hours......
This is why I am against race change service. If you don't like your race re roll it will be character building for you to do the extra work to get exactly what you want.
Laziness is a stupid argument. There are people that have several weaks of playtime in their characters, how is it lazy that they want to keep the level that they've reached and not play 3 months again just to reach what they already got?
Not wanting to spend several months and not wanting to re-do the stupiest thing in ESO (leveling, grinding) again has nothing to do with being lazy, think about that.

Changing your characters race is not the same as just changing their face . If you want a new race with new racial passives, re re roll.
Not wanting to put forth the effort a re roll would require is laziness.

Why isn't it the same? If I wanted to change my Breton face into a nice strong Argonian face, that would be ok. But if I want the tail it is now unacceptable?

This is a silly argument.
Not wanting to reroll a V12 character has nothing to do w/ laziness. It's a very long grind to re-lvl a max level toon.
Obviously most people aren't rerolling toons even though they may be unhappy w/ the race choice they made, because the grind is extremely prohibitive to do again.
There have been numerous threads about the lack of desire to roll alts to go through all of that same stuff again; it doesn't suddenly not apply here.
However, if a race change were introduced, I imagine that several players who may have been dreading doing everything in the game all over again would take advantage of such a service.
You can call them "lazy" all you want, just like I can just as easily say that anyone who opposes the idea is just being needlessly difficult, especially regarding something that does not effect them or their gameplay in the slightest.
It's like saying that nobody should be allowed to paint their car red, because you don't like the color red.

I have to agree with @Iago on this. I guess we will have to agree to disagree because I'm tired of arguing with a guy/girl who can't see anyones point but their own.
@brandon why are you slow down the process of making the game better and the customers happier? You got nothing better to do like help you Mom in the Kitchen?
1. They will not leave because of it
2. This opinion will not bring money and players will be sad
3. Just get over your opinion and let others play as they want
4. No one will harm you and your little happy world, and if someone do you can do the same ^^
1. Not many if so
2. Yes it will bring money, if you dont see this.. then yes ... what should i say:p
3. Blah blah
4. If you are sexuel frustrated or something get a grilfriend and stop slowing down the evolution of this nice game. Thank you
