I think I'll have to agree with Khag and Aroes here. I don't see the problem with an human archer, as the bow is commonly found and used. Would he ever have the skill like a night elven huntress? I really doubt it, as a human perhaps trains three years to shoot the bow, while night elves perhaps train three hundred.
I also remember a time where this was acceptable, and I've seen human 'hunters' before, I even had one myself.
Jaide, a former noble-lady who tracked, hunted beasts and skinned them for a living after running away from home. Her profile was accepted and I even called her a human hunter.
.. If we are going to stick to solely the base classes of WoW, you could remove the advanced titles entirely and disallow anything that isn't a base class. You'd solely have warriors, rogues, mages, paladins, warlocks, hunters priests, druids and shamans.. And that's it. What happened to the cook? The archer? The bard? The guide? The archaeologist? Or how about a brawler? A merchant? The peasant? The farmer? and so on.
None of those are base classes, and some a mixture of two but those seemed to be fine earlier. A merchant could be as charismatic and quick handed as a rogue, while being a warrior class. A person that pickpockets and steals, to sell his goods while wearing plate armour to protect himself. It's just an example, but it would be disallowed simply because he had branched his skills out.
What happened to open creativity, mix and matching to RP in this setting where a lot of things are more common then one might realize. Really, would you expect the merchant to solely wear leather (Because of the rogue base class ; leather restriction) or to lose his ability to steal (Because of the warrior base class ; no pick pocket)? With Orc's running about, dragons flying above your head and demons cracking open fel portals under your feet?..
.. I'd adjust myself and wear something more protective in that world. Especially when being the fishy merchant I'd be. I'm not saying you'd be any good pickpocketing while wearing plate, but not being able wear plate at all ever to do so just because it isn't in the base class seems a tad.. eerie? I'm not sure what the right word is for it. ^^
All I want is ; Remove bonuses of any 'prestige' or 'special' 'unique' 'custom' character or however you want to call it. Get rid of a system that makes an implication to people that the pixels in-game make them so much more elite and unique (And that all those hours of writing and trying to achieve something, make them better then anyone else in the community), and allow for the creativity to branch out in a logical and reasonable manner. Allow people the freedom to RP what they want, without having powers of others or factions, and without any specialness to it at all.
Basically, go retail style but just a bit less. Deny the self-proclaimed Marshals, but accept the military officer stationed on a nearby ship with a crew of 10 who accepts orders and missions from the king.
Not sure if I worded that example right, but.. There's a line between freedom of RP, and going insane with RP. Creativity, is what matters. Not the powers, not the abilities and all the visual-ness. Just get rid of all that because it so far, has only gotten too far into people their heads. With one walking on the clouds, three others are irritated and wreaking grief, and so on. Make things equal for everyone.
.. However, I'm not entirely sure if I'm happy with this post so I might edit or delete it entirely later. I have the feeling I missed something, just not sure what.
