Death Knight races - some should be removed

I haven't looked closely on the new death knight stuff, but i've seen pics and talents.. etc about it. Is it true that all races can be death knight?
If that's true, Gnomes definitely should be removed from being a death knight. They don't fit the class at all. If that's the case, then they should balance both sides, and remove a race from the horde in eligible of being a death knight.
Just wondering why all races can be death knight but only two can be druids, 6 can be priests, 5 can be warlocks, etc.. I don't think this is a good idea at all.
Death Knights are not natural. They are abominations. Death Knights are former heroes who were struck down in combat and raised up by the Lich King to serve his needs.
That Gnomish DK? They were probably a Warrior, or maybe a Mage, valiantly fighting against the scourge 'til their dying breath. And now they serve the Lich King's will.
There are only two races that can be Druids because they're the only ones that are in-tune enough with nature. The only ones that can really communicate with the plants and animals.
The same goes for all the other racial class restrictions out there... Some races just aren't good at being Shamen, or Paladins, or Warlocks, or whatever.
Anyone
, however, can be twisted to the Lich King's will.

If you're here to discuss it, you're in the right place.
If you're here to suggest it, you're in the wrong place.
But if you're here to discuss it, I think Blizzard is currently working on which races are able to be Death Knights.
Human's will deinetly be availibe, and Undead's, since they were both in the cinematic trailer. Otherwise i think all but gnome and troll should be availible

I don't like gnomes much myself, but I think that the LK will take any volunteers he can get.
If you'll read back in the thread, your Death Knight apparently didn't become a Death Knight by choice. Your character was a minor hero of the Alliance/Horde who died in battle against the Scourge and was forcibly reanimated as a Death Knight.
Thinking about it with an evil mindset, I believe the Lich King would be more likely to enjoy using the "pure" races - Humans, Orcs, Tauren, Night Elves - than the "evil" or "immoral" races. What better way to get your jollies than to take your most righteous foes and force them into the service of pure evil?
Buddy of mine was reading this over my shoulder and said, " If the were brought back to life without a choice then make it that way when you choose to run DK." Meaning when you choose a DK you DON'T get to choose race you get FORCED to be what ever is Rezzed from the grave.
I thought that would be cool but, I know MANY would slit wrists getting stuck as something they hate. Could be interesting twist of that class.

k, since some ppl here are not much different than the ones on the wow forum, I expected my thread to go like this anyway.
Back to the topic, I think at least Night elves and taurens shouldn't become DK's. Don't they have something like druid's goddess and earthmother protecting them? They should become immune and unharmed with the death knight thing, w/e it is called.
Second, Draenei and Blood elves neither should be able to become death knight. Since they also have the Naaru and a'dal watch over them, scryer and aldor. They should also be unharmed with it.
I'm fine with gnomes, dwarves, and humans as well as undead, orcs, and trolls for hordies. As long as not all races can be death knight, I think wotlk won't be that catastrophic. I assume some of you don't wanna see 9/10 people in wotlk are dk.
if you do, then gl and hf with LF tank and heals.

Why?
Gnomes can be just as diabolical, evil, wicked, crazy, sadistic and corrupted as any other race.

I think you're crying doom a bit too early, honestly.
In the long run, it will likely wind up much like Burning Crusade. With the release of BC, everyone and their grandmother was rolling a space goat or
Barbie
blood elf. A good number of those I saw were either Shaman or Paladin, since those were new classes for their particular faction. After a couple of months, things mostly stabilized back to the norm.
The same thing will likely happen here: We'll see a ton of new Death Knights, speeding for 80, and eventually we'll have some folks that are solid DKs and everyone else will go back to their current "main".
Oh, and just to mention: DKs can be tanks, so the only thing that might be in short supply are healers. But then again, I plan on getting my Paladin to 80 as Holy before I ever touch a Death Knight seriously. Might be the same with many others as well.

Oh and when bes and draneis were released with TBC 9/10 players were them but it eventually evened out. People choose to play it then find out its not for them and go back to another race/class.
Basically what I told my buddy earlier today when he mentioned how EVERYONE is gonna be a Death Knight

And how does it make sense that Draenei can be DKs? I mean, doesn't the DK starting area take place back in time, before Draenei were even on the planet?
When did time travel get involved with the DK starting area...?
Did I miss something?
