Q u o t e:
This has been hot on the rumor mill as of late. I could have sworn that I'd read a post on these forums confirming that this is being considered.

The reasons I saw made sense:

1) In what has become a faction grind, it's unfair for one race, especially one race in just a single faction, to have an advantage.

2) Diplomacy becomes useless when capped. Upon reaching the experience cap, Humans suddenly find themselves short in the racial talent department, the only race to have this shortcoming

Anyone see this, and can provide a link?.

So, it is both unfair in their favor and unfair in everyone else's favor. Interesting.

/rumor

There is a fury in sound that rings in the ears and settles deep into the recesses of thought.
A clashing of blades. A dance macabre.
All to tell the tale of battles fought for the love of glory.

Diplomacy is a human racial ability that fits the lore of the game. Take away the racial and you have to change the lore.

Q u o t e:
yes you have to grind a lot of faction in BC, guess how long it took me to get exalted with sporeggar and cenarion expedition TWO DAYS. It's so easy that diplomacy really doesn't matter.

For those that don't remember, getting exalted is supposed to be HARD and take months to actually do even with diplomacy.


You needed to ressurect a 2 month old post to tell us this?

Knowing Blizzards love of the Alliance diplomacy will probably be replaced with a copy of deathcoil or shadow word death.

Considering how much of a retarded rep grind this game is, I would gave any racial bonus on any of my horde characters for diplomacy.

Having a 'dead' racial at the level cap is common place for almost everyone. A lot of class/race pairings have them upon creation.

I love Diplomacy would would be sad to see it go, but how does this fit into lore?

Seems like the Humans in WarCraft spent most of their time being bigotted, close-minded and xenophobic.

Q u o t e:


As a Human, I sincerely hope this racial is removed, solely because of #2. The hell are we supposed to do once we get exalted with ZG/Brood? It's useless after that.


There's 4- 5 separate factions that you need to obtain revered with to unlock the heroic dungeons in Outland. I'd love it if the grind were 25% shorter (is it 25 or 15.... either way its nice)

Take diplomacy away from us and we're left with no useful racials.

Diplomacy (Updated): 5% chance while talking to your opponent that he will stop attacking you because he believes that you have been nurfed so badly that it isn't worth the time to kill you.

Meh.

I am a big fan of my "Find Treasure" racial, when i am in an instance i am finding all kinds of goodies that no one else would have even come remotely close to noticing if i didn't have it on my screen.

I was riding through Stormwind the other day and i had Find Treasure on and i found a barrel of milk, that really made my day.

Without this racial i would be lost in the world of Azeroth, thanks Blizzard.

This is why I can never find a barrel of milk. Dwarves are running amok taking it all! Think of the children!

Since you have a direct line to the devs, here's a suggestion. Balance out the dwarven treasure hunting skill by giving them the "lactose intolerant" racial penalty.

I expected the Spanish Inquisition, but I got mustard instead.

Stupid Burger King.

Actually, Neth...... it's probably one of my alts :) they use the milk (and crates of food) to give them a few extra copper :)

I would change Diplomacy racial trait for something more "human" : Stupidity

Description
----------------
-10 Bonus to Intelligence.
+1 Extra Bonus Attack when attacking a friendly / neutral target.

PS. Read my Sig after this.

Diplomacy = Me doing something else besides farming rep 10% of the time.. Like going out side or going to the gym.
If you really spend so much time playing the game that you dont enjoy the 10% extra time off from rep grinding .. you need another hobby.. ride a bike or take your mom out to dinner cause you prolly dont have a GF.

Stay away from my Diplomacy.
