I think it would be awesome to be able to pay for a race change. I see this as a win win situation for both the player and carbine. If a player reaches 50 and realizes he should have rolled Chua instead of cassian, he can pay a fee and do that! He gets a change and carbine rakes in a little extra cash! 
I can't see any negatives in this situation.

Can't have race changes until every race can be every thing.

No reason it has to wait for every race to be every class. Just do like every other game out there that offers race changes without having every class for every race.... Only offer the races of your class when changing.

That makes it *cupcake*ing worthless in this particular case.
Most people don't change race for the simple sake of changing races, they change from a race they don't wanna be to a race they do wanna be.
IF the classes were faction/race/herpderp(like Niller WoW and the Pally/Shaman thing or whatever) based it would TOTALLY work, but they aren't, every class is exactly the same no matter what race you are.

I would be spamming login on the day they implement race changes, with or without classes being added to every race. I can't wait to change the race of some of my characters, and I'm perfectly fine remaining in the current restrictions.

Good for you! :D
 
Still doesn't make it a good idea.

I can't see why not, I think it would be a really good idea and an extra source of revenue for Carbine. 
 
I'm 99% sure WoW had this feature even when some classes were race locked - it just meant you couldn't change to certain races depending on your class.
 
Personally, I don't think I would use the service myself, but if it's reasonably priced, you never know!  	
----
			Yeah i really cant see any negatives about this, just because every race can't be every class doesnt stop this from being a good idea.

			Population balance is the sticking point, Wildstar is in recovery mode....now is not the time!

Would love race change ability and even if they removed the class restrictions more later down the line 'm quite sure that if Carbine(this is assuming they have a decent way to effectively filter their databases) wanted to they could easily filter the population and give tokens to people who were subscribed during the initial time implementation of the service, those who purchased prior to restriction lifts, to people subbed between X and Y, or whatever works best...
 
Class restrictions do not have to be the red light to stop race change service.
 
@Nifty - Yes, in WoW they have restrictions and still allow race changes. An orc shaman can change to a dreanei shaman, but can't change to a gnome shaman(as funny as that would be).

			I've been asking for this since maybe day 2 of release.

Prob going to get flames for us, but who cares. WoW has race changes, and every race cant be everything. I wouldnt be surprised if more that 30% of their income is based on race/faction changes.
----
			Not all races are supposed to be all classes in WoW, but it's the exact opposite in Wildstar and as such it would be an INCOMPLETE PAID FUNCTION and that would be *cupcake*ing evil.	
----
			What i don't get is why people want to PAY for race changes. Why can't this just be included as part of our sub instead? That or done with gold in game.

Wait, like... you can take the FotM Class all the way to cap on an easy roll and then race-change to a different profession? That kind of craps on the people who got to cap on that class from the get-go, doesn't it?

Lmao what are you saying, were talking about switching from one race to another.

I don't get this at all, still. Why would someone pay for a race change if it's changing to a race they don't want? It's an optional ability to change races to something else. If there isn't another one you like.... don't buy it.
Making those of us who DO want to change to a race that is currently available wait for all classes to be available to all races is what is evil.

You're only able to change the race and or faction. The only difference would be racial traits, the same goes for TERA and Allods which also has a race change service.
 
I'm not against it being both real money or an in-gme money charge. Think some people(myself included, wouldn't mind), but right now it's more of getting the service to start.
 
 
We're basically in the same boat as WoW regardless of the reason and over time the WoW races gained access to different classes such as troll warlocks, undead hunters, dwarf shamans, tauren paladins, etc. I do not see a problem with it being implemented now since no one is forced to change and it is purely aesthetic choice. There would only be an issue if Carbine said "Hey guysrace changes are now available and you can be ANY race you want!" as opposed to giving a clear statement saying that race changes are available within the confines of the current setup, which every game that offers the service and has those limitations does.
 
Along with those games that offer the service they do not compensate when they update the class/race combo and it is purely a player choice knowing full well that things may change as the game develops. I even remember Blizzard way back in the day with WoW Vanilla that class/race combos may or may not change in th future as the game develops when asked about it along with the playerbase pointing out numerous examples of NPCs that break the race/combo rules and guess what? They did change...
 
If Carbine were to implement the function today the only evil possible would be is if Carbine outright lied about the service and said that you can be any and all class when you can't. I'd love to change my cassian esper to a Chua esper, my draken warrior to a Mechari, etc...and I'm sure I'm not the only one who would use the service even with the current constraints.
