The complicated method of a class change

With much talk in cataclysm of a possible class transfer, and blizzard filtering more alternate classes within each faction (2 kinds of shaman, 2 kinds of paladin) there seems to be just that they will introduce a class altering system.
But this, unlike race change, would be more complicated then just changing your characters race or appearance.
When you consider all the armor, for example, a priest would have, all cloth, and then lets say he wanted to become a warrior, to make this effective all that cloth armor would have to be changed into corresponding plate armor. If there wasn't something by comparison, it would leave some armor a player couldn't make use of in ther bags.
Second, since a tailor priest becoming a warrior wouldn't have use for any cloth anymore, would he be allowed to have blacksmithing as an alternate version of his tailoring?
Well I would love to change my tauren druid into a tauren paladin for the fun of it, it does seem more complicated to do this then just a race change.

It won't happen. Race and faction is a completely different matter, because (for the most part) it's all just cosmetic. Changing your class alters literally everything about your character. They won't do this (and if they did, they would lose
a ton
of subscribers, including me, over it).

saying that though, when it comes to it a character changing from one class to another is something that happens in lore all the time.
Priests became paladins in through the dark portal. Shamans became warlocks with the first horde, and any other class became death knights in wotlk.
On a lore term, it makes more sense then a character changing sex (not exactly advanced in cosmetic surgery on azeroth), but on a term of armor and loot it prevents it from happening.

If they implement this, it
will
kill the game. Blizzard is going to end up being the WoW killer, not some other game if they plan on making changes like this.

They aren't going to make this change. The whole matter is purely speculative and hypothetical. The mere thought of a class change service is ridiculous.

If this happens, there will be an uproar of people complaining about how nobody knows how to play their class anymore.
This doesn't happen already? ;)

Class Change Service is already a reality!
Exchange any of your characters for the class of your choosing!
Recustomize sex, facial features, hair, and skin tone, and even race!
As a penalty to stop people from doing this too much, you'll be reduced back down to level 1 and have all your achievements/gold/items stripped.
Have fun trying a new playstyle today!
Just click the Delete Character button!

Heh, if they did something like this... I wouldn't care. I have 4 80's, 2 70+'s, 3 60's a level 26 and a level 14. I enjoy the leveling process so I wouldn't care about some noob deciding that rather then work at it and learn his class, he want's to switch over to another, and he would stop getting groups.... raids or any of the like.

Except he wouldn't, he'd still get into groups and cause at least one wipe before he was booted for being dumb. But it's not like people have to know their classes to get to 80 anyways, so this happens every day anyways.
