			I recently came back to the game and have enjoyed it but i want the freedom to change my race.

I don't see it as being impossible! Nothing announced yet, but who knows. Protostar might decide they're looking to get into the race changing surgery business as well!
 
We'll finally be getting the ability to re-customize our appearance in drop 4. So I suppose that's one step down the right road.
 
Unlike some other games out there, race in WildStar seems to be purely cosmetic, so I don't see what would stop Carbine from selling the ability to change race. It make take them time to develop the system for it, but one can always hope for it! Suggesting things on the forum is how things get added. ;)

			I can't decide what I'm waiting for more anxiously.... race changes or path changes.

Oooh yes! The ability to change paths at some point would be so nice. It doesn't make sense to level another Mordesh spellslinger all the way to 50 just because I've decided I want to try Explorer instead of Scientist. I would LOVE the ability to change paths. :)

In all honesty, they will likely finish their work making sure all classes are available to all races.  Right now, it's not totally cosmetic, because you wouldn't be able to, say, go from a Granok to an Aurin if you were a warrior (warriors aren't available to Aurin).  Since they said making all classes available to all races is absolutely on the docket, I assume that will come first.
----
			It doesn't necessarily need to be done FIRST, race changes can absolutely come first if that mechanic can be fleshed out faster than making all the classes for all the races (I imagine it would be a relatively easy change, just swapping a number in a database really). I mean, offer race changes to change to whatever races can currently be that class, then bring about all classes for all races. I seriously want my medic to be a mechari (well, honestly, I kind of want all my characters to be mechari lol)  so having to sit and wait for all classes for all races before I can make that change would annoy me, because that change can already happen.

If it was that easy, we'd have all race / all class already. I'm certain there's a lot more going on that needs to be done than just swapping a database call #.
 
For example. You want to make a Stalker, but you really want it to be a Granok. Well Granok don't have a stealth run or cloaking animation, so they would glitch out, not turn invis,  not move at all and just slide everywhere.

I meant for swapping to an already-exiting class/race combo, it should just be a matter of changing the race variable on the character.
