If ZOS has conceded that many of us will want to change the race of at least 1 character, they should also give us a Name change token given we will no doubt want to change the name to a lore friendly name as well.
I think it should be 1 race and name change per account. Then on top of that, 1 race and name change per Dunmer on the account.

Again, another person who completely disregards pvp like it doesn't exist. I would like you to go try to solo for a few weeks. Send me some clips and let me know if you would like to have the best race for your class.
You are so salty and biased for no damn reason. Because you dont like that there are meta builds, races, and classes? Fine but this is how mmos usually are. But that still doesnt explain why you think the argument doesnt work in reverse.
Why cant we min max and have the best? Why cant we do that? Because you dont like it? Im just confused why there are so many people defending zos on this. I mean so many changes are a nerf. Every percentage change is a nerf. But even if you like every single one of the new changes, why would you not want zos to give us 1 token per character? I literally cannot think of anything more fair than doing that..
And please dont say "if zos never added racial passives".. They did, and they have been pretty much the same for a long time. Now they are flipping everything upside down and certain people will have no use for the passives their "new" race will have.
Oh don't get me wrong. I never said I don't want them to give 1 token per character. I don't care if they do or not. But if they do then good for you if it helps you so much.
But when it comes to meta's I will always despise them. Mainly cause of how the community then shoves it down everyone's throats. It's idiotic. Everyone sees that leaderboard runs require certain things then turn around and put that bs as a requiremnet on everything else that isn't even a leaderboard group. It's just beyond stupidity. So that is why i HATE the meta bs and just wish ZOS would completely remove racial passives. Then the idiots can't hide behind their meta race nonsense.

"OTHER": I don't care. I'm not changing race on any of my girls, on either account.

All content in the game can be cleared even without racial passives.
When you create a meta built around something as trivial as racial passives and are a slave to it. Then deal with the consequences when it changes. You deserve no sympathy. It's all your own faults.
Other (because)...
I’m grateful for one. It’s free. They don’t have to give it. But they are. I’m not greedy.

While there are some people who make racial choices based on RP or personal preference, many people make racial choices based on their passives and potential in their role. Personally, I was a mix of both, leaning towards the latter. As a result, I have six Imperial Stamina DPS toons. They were never the best, but they were always good (usually ~3rd place) and after this change they are dropping to dead last for Stamina DPS by an approximately 2k margin. I am hopeful (though steadily losing said hope) that ZOS will realize how insane it is to completely nerf the single paid, any alliance race out of true DPS contention but if that doesn’t happen, they expect me to spend 3,000 Crowns PER character to race change? What if I wanted to change my other 7 characters? What about the fact that they all have Imperial names, because they’re supposed to be half-Imperial, half-Breton brothers. Will I get any compensation for changing their names? For the one free race change, will they get a name change?
In other words, that’s potentially 12 Race + Name Change tokens (12 * 3,500 Crowns = 42,000 Crowns) and one Name Change Token for the free race change (2,500 Crowns). So if I wanted to change my characters, in light of ZOS completely overhauling their races, and maintain any semblance of IC consistency with their names when I did so, it’d be 44,500 Crowns. I play on Xbox NA, and the 21,000 Crown package is $149.99. I’d need two of those, and still be 2,500 Crowns short. The 3,000 Crowns pack is $24.99. So I’d need 44,500 Crowns, purchase $45,000 Crowns and it’d cost me $324.97 + tax. That’s with 13 characters; people who bought slots to all 15 would have an additional 7,000 Crowns needed. That is absolute insanity.
Recap on Crowns:
- 1 free race change
- 3,500 Crowns per race + name change
- 2,500 Crowns per name change
Recap on Needs:
- 12 toons * 3,500 Crowns = 42,000 Crowns
- 1 toon * 2,500 Crowns = 2,500 Crowns
- 42,000 + 2,500 = 44,500 Crowns
Recap on Price:
- $149.99 per 21,000 Crown bundle
- $24.99 per 3,000 Crown bundle
- 21,000 + 21,000 + 3,000 = 45,000 Crowns
45,000 Crowns needed = $324.97 + tax
