    I play a High Elf Sorc. So, my stats went like this

    1.6 :
    7 Light : 360 armor
    PVP with Food : 2400 hp 2500 mana
    target/chase me ? Roll, Roll, U MADBRO ?

    You're imagining numbers. Food buff itself gives you more than 2400 hp and 2500 magicka and when you're wearing armor that is not broken, you will get much more than 360 with 7 light unless you're level 1 or something.

    To OP, they will never give you a free race change. If ZOS sees that races are truly unbalanced, then they will just adjust racial passives.
    This might be a surprise to people who are foreign to MMOs, but it's common that balance changes with patches. Life changes! Deal with it!

    I am against race change, even against appearance changes (though they will surely become available for $$$). Your choices when you created your character should matter. ZOS however needs to learn how to balance stuff. I don't care if my breton would be 5% better with magicka-build even if I primarily play stamina. But things like 20% difference are beyond ridiculous.

    I'm talking in old numbers, not the new ones so ppl will understand. Yea i have 3600 armor all vr14 Yellow or 360 old value

    Why?

    Many mmo's had appearance changes you could do ingame.

    - SWG had a profession called image designer so other people could change your appearance (not race or gender).
    - Ryzom had a barbershop where you could change hair and looks
    - Vanguard you could (at first) change at any given time your appearance and later in game with item shop stuff. Later also gender and race
    - PotBS you had a backdoor in major cities where you could change outfits and appearance

    Why is this a bad thing? If i want to change my hair or nose i must be able to choose it. You don't have to do it, and if i do it it doesn't impact you

    I chose Breton over Imperial because we had soft caps so it didn't matter much. But now those are gone and i wish i chose Imperial for stamina build.

    If you don't like it, don't use it. Just as I don't like trials i don't do them. This is not your game. Many people play it.

    "I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    So you're saying that you don't care if a Redguard/Imperial sneaks behind u and Wrecking Blows your Breton for a 20k+ crit ?
    If i were you, i think i'd get just a little ... angry maybe ?

    When i was doing dmg tests on PTS, a simple 10% stat would translate into 1k more dmg diference, and if i am not wrong, percentage % stats scale off Flat stats like from glyphs/set bonuses.

    When you are deep into the battle, yea that little % can be an extra roll, or make you survive a deadly hit and be able to heal/shield. Before 1.6 i Literally jumped off a wall to avoid zergy death and had 50 hp left :D

    Knootewoot You are right, when i made the toon early access, i was in such a rush that i just randomized everything. Now i'm sad cuz my toon is skinny and has small b#@bs, and all the chest plates look really ugly.
    Even my mom caught me playing once and said ''Wachu playing ? What is with that old lady'' ... I was like, dangggg :D REKT
