Balance among the four classes is still not perfect, but it has improved tremendously since launch, when vampire magicka DKs could solo 20 players and endgame PVE groups would routinely kick any stam builds. To get to the current level of balance it took a lot of iterations on classes, nerfs and buffs, along with lots of positive and negative feedback.
Currently, we still have a couple races that are like super races compared to the others due to 10% max damage stat and recovery passives.
The problem is now some are going to spend 2500 crowns to switch to redguard or high elf. As a result, I don't imagine we will see a reasonable level of balance at some point in the future, because those spending crowns now will become rather angry about any nerf to those two races, for example.
If the price were much lower, I imagine more players would would buy lots of the race change tokens and switch races casually when trying out different builds, probably not complain as loudly in the event of a future rebalance patch.

I feel the racial change is broken because it does not allow you to change name, this is lorebreaking. I always choose my name carefully, and changing race would need a new name. To spend a 3k on the change then another 2,5k for the name only sounds a bit far-fetched.
Before you all start to rant about the temporary sale on the bundle, yes that fixes it for now. I find the 2,5k for a name change very much, why is a name so expensive while a char change is so cheap.
I expected the racial to be expensive, but expected it was all in one...
Sooo a crown sink has been added to the game, supplement by the new hairstyles we need to go buy.
Curious what you guys think of the prices... are they worth it.
