Here's my thought. They are coming out with the ability to change your race. So how does one encourage sales of that? Change the passives.

Of course there are people who already want to change races, but that is only going to take this so far.

I'd like to see some races become less like must picks for stam or mag builds.
Stam Highelf or Mag Woodelf should not be options you pick just to nerf your character.

This is what Im worried about. The initial sales for the tokens should be sizeable because its two years worth of people wanting to do something about characters theyve put substantial effort into. But after that it should be a trickle as itll be players here and there trying to correct a mistake.

All they have to do to keep these sales bumping occasionally is to go back in and make changes to the passives. So not only will we have the flavor of the DLC builds/class every three months but we'll have to keep a look out for the occasional flavor of the month race as well.

Knowing how these forums can be. There will be a firestorm about it. With them making some half-gesture promise of scaling it back, rather than abandoning entirely the plan for the forumites to accept it with open arms.

Just a week or two ago I was talking about how much I didnt want to walk away from this game. How much I enjoyed it. Hell, just spent 30 bucks to obtain two new characters and just spent the last few weeks putting together my RP Guild framework. But if these changes to passives are drastic enough I might have to walk away from this game entirely. When they originally announced the Crown Store I pointedly asked them on the Reddit AMA about what would be going into the store, would it be cosmetic or game changing. And they danced around it. Last DLC they made sweeping changes to Enchantment, still waiting to see what they add to the store for it. This time theyre making changes to passives when theyre planning to release race change tokens? I dont buy for a moment that its coincidental.

Separate the races from their sets of passives.

Choose which race you want and which set of passives you want.

Done.

Play whatever race you want and not get gimped fron doing so.

RPer? Just pick your race's own passives and don't worry about it. Problem solved

Absolutely brilliant idea. Race becomes an aesthetic choice, which actually opens up far more RP options that currently do not exist. "Did you ever wonder what would happen if a Khajiit and an Argonian had a baby?" - the venerable Sofia.
