Because their racials are so horrible in a raid environment that I cannot justify it to myself to play as one. They have no useful racials in a raid, fear is no longer a component of boss fights or if it is a tremor totem knocks the whole raid from it.
Underwater breathing sure is great in the underwater raids, I'll give you that. Essentially, if I'm not an Orc>Goblin>Troll then I am wasting the time of others. Please fix the undead to not be so horrible.
Racial traits primarily exist to add flavor to each race, and to a lesser extent, situational advantages in line with the theme of each race. Naturally each one works better in some situations than others. A player who wishes to can and should raid as Forsaken, or any other race that they enjoy playing. It's extremely unlikely that if a player has proven themselves capable, that a competent raid leader would turn them away based on their character's race. There are, after all, a very healthy number of Forsaken raiders active at this very moment. |

It's an easy answer: play what you want to play. |

There are a number of ways to optimize a character outside of racials. I'm not saying that they can't be useful, or that certain racials aren't nice to have in certain circumstances (particularly in PvP) - that would be foolish. I'm just saying that in general their importance has been over-emphasized. By and large, you can still be effective playing the race you want to play. The assertion that one cannot raid because they choose to play Forsaken is preposterous. |
