It's true regardless how you feel about it. I don't see it named " Change into any race"

I don't see it named change into a choice of two other races unless you buy upgrade token.

Now, I don't go all faction crap myself - but then, I don't expect to change a Bosmer to an Orc or Redguard either. There are things about the game that are actually set in stone - unless you want to pay to "remove that stone".
Good luck with everything.
I'm not going to read anything. It's not important to me. I don't read or listen to anything in the game. I don't care about any of it. All I want to do is use free race change token to switch to new race that is not the two that I have a choice of without paying money because the company gave me something called a change race token. But I can't do that. The change race token is very misleading.

Well good luck with that. If you ever read what the race change token does, at any point in its existence, you would realize it isn't misleading at all. You get a race change token, not some new thing they just made up. We all understand you are asking for a bigger handout than what you got, there is no need to explain further. You just need to understand reality, and expectations dont always match up. The only person at fault is the person with unreal expectations. Did you think they were going to change the functionality of the race change tokens?
I'm curious, why even play this game if you dont take in any of the stories in any way?
This thread is still going? Come on.
I'll give you that if you only care about meta and they changed races around, then not being able to change into any race sucks. Should they give that option? Maybe.
Still, you cannot say that the description of the token is misleading since it literally says that you have to have this other upgrade to change into any race other than the ones from alliance. You not reading descriptions isn't really anybody's fault but yours.
Maybe try submitting a ticket and complain about it directly to ZOS support instead of salting it out with forum users here?
Yes it is going to address it. That is exactly what it does do.
This game launched with the Three Banners War as the backdrop. As such, the design decision to limit players to the three races in each alliance (except for pre-orders at that time) was specifically made because of that narrative reason. That is why there are an equal number of races in each faction.
You don't care about the story? Your choice.
Your claim that it doesn't inform your current complaint? Factually incorrect.
Your argument that some make believe story justifies having to buy an expensive cash grab upgrade is ridiculous to me.
You are in a make believe game... why would you think for a moment that the make believe story wouldn't apply?

It's not misleading.
Again, it does exactly what it said it does. What you want is the added functionality of any race any alliance. Again added functionality. You're assuming the added functionality that it in no way claims to have. If you can't make a DC Altmer in the character creation screen, what makes you think you could do it with a race change token?
On top of that, if any race any alliance didn't exist at all, the functionality of the token would remain the same. It's not the token you're mad about. You're upset you're not getting the additional functionality of a paid feature.

Please stop with your anti-consumer BS. It's getting old.
Anti - entitlement maybe, but this is in no way anti-consumerism.
I didn't need to spend $20 on this game yesterday. I do today.
The $20 isn't going towards adding new content. It's not going towards fixing a mistake I made (I chose the races I did for a reason, a reason that is now invalidated). The $20 is going towards correcting a dissonance created by a developer change to the race I had picked when I made my character.
I'm confused, was there some kind of hidden $20 surcharge for the race changes and name changes or something? Because unless there was, if you didn't *need* to spend $20 yesterday, then you don't *need* to spend $20 today. This would be like someone gifting me a high end game if I have a middling computer then saying "well now I need to buy a new graphics card, gee thanks." rather than just being grateful that you were gifted something.
Just think about it. The CEO of EA and Activision both make roughly $30 million a year; a salary approved by board members.
You're telling me Zenimax and/or a subsidiary can't afford to have these digital assets come with game at no additional cost?

No. I was annoyed that something called Change Race Token that I was given for free only gives option to change to two other races unless you purchase an upgrade. I find this business practice shady and I find the naming of the token misleading.

I kind of agree with you. At the same time remember the launch of ESO? Considering the narrative, traditional fans of TES were not happy with the options ZoS was giving players since the Elder Scrolls never gave us restrictions like this before.
So people voiced their opinion with ZoS replying with a no over and over.
But instead of giving people the Imperial race or just making all races available regardless of the faction at not cost to us, we were told that it required additional purchases. And the Imperial race was locked behind a special edition SKU too.
For ZoS it wasn't "damned if we do and damned if we don't". They sought to make a profit whether it was planned from the start or a couple months before April 2014.
I appreciate the tokens but come on y'all...

I'm a lore nut when it comes to TES. But there are too many examples in ESO today where race doesn't and shouldn't matter. Even at launch there were Imperials in Cyrodiil wanting to reclaim their land from Molag Bal.
Once ZoS monetized it then the racial choices became an issue. They should have just stuck to their guns if Alliance loyalty and personality was that important.

You must get mislead a lot since you're not reading decriptions. And what were you mislead into? You didn't pay for anything. You didn't have to do anything. You got the item, the item has a particular description, you didn't read it. That's all.

Actually it is more like if...
Someone has given you a new car
And delivered it right to your driveway
Right behind your old car...
Only the New car has no gas...
Now....you have access to both...
But neither are beneficial unless
You spend $20 on gas...
The Race Alliance lock should of left with One Tamriel...
It’s silly...
