Will there be human hunter in the future? It is a very good class for this race to role play as an Archer or a Rifleman

Not until we figure out how to give races more than 6 classes to choose from.

Human hunters kinda makes no sense.

There’s a reason you don’t go hunting for your meat IRL anymore. The basic philosophy behind the point of farming / rearing animals for food is that you don’t have to hunt them anymore.

Yeah but the game architecture doesnt permit it. Unless you want to *lose* a human class.

And lets be honest, if we gave hoomen all classes that "made sense", they would have ALL the classes, as IRL we hoomen do all activities that can exist (and even try all the dumb impossible activities that can kill us, like tasting unknown mushrooms because they are pretty, or jumping off a cliff attached to a string just to see how it feels). So that's not a reasonable metric to use to guide game design.

Each race needs to have class limitations to make each one flavourful and asymetric. To create player choices. That's more fun than being able to do all race-class combos.

There have been human archers in warcraft 1, and they also had farms back then

The devs don't have to overhaul the interface. Just make an npc that can make the switch after logging in at level 1.

Warcraft 1 had Human Archers. Warcraft 3 had bandits that did the same thing... and TurtleWoW is based on warcraft 3 lore!

Archers aren’t hunters tho. Hunters specifically has a pet. Archers are just fighters that use bows. The aesthetic of a hunter is an outdoorsman that has a pet companion and set traps etc, which like I explained a settled human who cultivate their own food and livestock have no need to do, by design.

Call me out of touch, but I have seen plenty of Orc farms with Swines, yet they have Hunters. Going with that logic I mean . . .
