Honestly, at this point, I'll say "why not?"

The only thing is that anyone that buys a class change token will have to sign a waiver barring them from ever posting "Class X was nerfed so ZOS can sell class change tokens" on the forums ever again (or adding to such threads).

Hmmm

ZoS wants you to replay existing content.

I don't understand why ZOS not allowed class change. I think they afraid that if one class after patch will become OP all player will change to that class, but players for whom minmaxing is important already have characters for all classes in both stamina and magicka and they just switch when they needed, so this restriction is pointless, from my point of view. But casual players who stick to their character, achievments, quest progression can't change class when they want, by changing class this casual players could prolong thier enjoyment of the game, try new things, continue play game and some continue to spend money, but without class change they can be just bored, or find themself in situation when they want to try new class, which can fit them better after patch, but don't want to start all over again. And casual player will not change thier beloved character to new class only because of some patch changes.
So in summary minmaxers anyway have all needed characters and casual players will not bother change class only because of patch, so ZOS shooting themselves and all casual players in the leg with this restriction.
I, for example, have only one char, vampire Dragon Knight(claws and wings for vampire RP), but after Greymoor changes ZOS almost forced vampires to play as NightBlades, and I would try, but can't, i don't want to lose achievments, dyes, quest progression and name of the character.

I wouldn't mind but I think you should be required to level all the class skills from the beginning.

I mean... Leveling up class skills aren't a problem for me. I just don't want to redo literally the whole entire game all over again on my main.

Just level a new warden it takes hardly any time at all to level new characters nowadays.

Wow!!! Thousands upon thousands of hours is hardly any time at all?!?!? Please read the post... I think you're missing a crucial detail.

I'm with Kargen in this one. If ZOS does allow class change tokens you have to level up the three new skill lines you'll have access to.

Same. I don't mind re-leveling the class skills. That's easy and fine.

crafting progress (which is the worst part imo.),

The crafting progress would be awful to redo, yes. Especially the traits.

This would be a cool option. I made my main a sorc and have been playing it since day one, and working on completing everything in game with it I can. Sure, I have 17 alts, for various niche purposes, like a tank, healer, stam dps, and various class pvp types. But my Main is the one I care about earning achievements and completing content on. Unfortunately, when I bought and started the game, Necromancer did not exist. Had it existed at the time, the past 4+ years would have been spent on a Necromancer main rather than a sorc. And there is a zero percent chance that I am going to do 4 years worth of content and time to re-main a new character. It's nonsense.

Exactly my position. Played sorc at the time but would run necro if I had a choice.

I’m against class change tokens makes meta more boring

So, you missed the time when ZOS gave players 3 free race change tokens when they changed the racial passives?

Race vs class...?

I'm against an easy class change... as this would have players simply follow the flavor-of-the-month builds.

But a system like quoted below would be awesome, and suit all of your needs as well(class change):

I would like to see something like a rebirth system. Where we keep our progress/achievements/skillpoints, but start at level one again. Maybe something offered by Azura, as a reward. Where in the rebirth we can pick a different class, or upgrade our existing class with one skillline from another class. A skillline which we can manually pick. Allow us to rebirth multiple times(only at level 50), where each time we can replace the skillline we choose in the previous rebirth, to another skilline. Or simply remove the extra skillline, and change our base class. This gives players an endless progression system, and allows players to change how their base class plays drastically with some really neat added options.

You know there's already fotm wardens everywhere in PvP right? They already make another character with the best class now. This really wouldn't affect meta players, but would really help those who settled on a main. And tbh, zos needs to fix the balance regardless.
