Is there a possibility of having a class change token available as a service in the ZEN Market?

I guess that this has been mentioned before but i couldn't find anything recently.
I.E A player has a Scourge Warlock and would like to change class to an Oathbound Paladin. But this is not possible and you have to create a new character as a level 1 Oathbound Paladin.
If there was a token in the ZEN Market this would be a significant QOL. If this was implemented I would assume that any class based weapons/armour/items would be unequipped and unusable (which is understandable, preferably with a fore warning upon using the token).
TL;DR Please make a class change token as a service so I can use one of my alts for when the new class becomes available instead of starting a new character at level 1.
P.S for those who may state that these low levels are to learn the class systems/mechanics/powers, completing the campaigns from Elemental Evil until Chult should be plenty of exposure (heavens forbid random dungeons/skirmishes if you're feeling adventurous).
Edit: I mentioned the bard class by accident but meant the druid.

BTW:
I disagree with your Token idea. Sry.
Nothing has been said about any new character class. Class balancing isn't yet done.
that way people will start dropping classes in favor of the meta with a constant reloop each mod no thank you if you want to have a charch of another class restart that charchter from 0
we aleready have enough inefficient players who don't know how to play classes properly and this will only serve to increase this problem of not being able to use public queu effectively
As noted above, your gear that is class specific won't be equippable but as noted, it should be stated with the token and maybe even as you do it, it shows which items are impacted.
I would say around 1,000 - 2,500 zen for this item. I may buy one down the road.
For now I will simply use this character for refining RAD but if the devs create a class change token, they will get additional money off me, if not, I simply won't spend any more on this character.
I know a few people who have a character that fall into the exact same category as mine. Some of these characters were mains at one point and now they want to play as another class but do not want to invest to much time or money into another character.
Your thoughts on this to get my character to the same place he is now will cost me more than a $150. If they released a class respect token it could be a $20 or so for that purchase. I am not sinking $150+ into another character. I will spend around $20 though.
It is not my loss here, it is cryptic loss in possible revenue.
Again as a person who has 1 of each class I see your point, but see the likelihood of it happening low. Things change tho, so I wish you well with it.
There aren't any real issues with adding one, given that you can buy your way to level 70 and completion of most campaigns. Dungeon unlocks are account wide etc... You can throw cash at the game and get everything for a new character except achievements and professions.
But realistically, professions generally don't need to be unlocked in every character so it isnt a big drawback for even the people who bother with them. Making more characters pays for itself and it would likely be more cost efficient to start the new character, buy out the campaigns you want to avoid and use your old characters for invoke, refining and storage.
Edit: I will never delete an alt mule, they are too useful. Even if i now have 5 of them
I've played games where you can swap classes at any point. It was nice to have the option of time to play around with a class and then select which class to focus on. Options are never bad. The only thing negative I saw in your entire post was that people are too quick to hand out negative feedback because they're being inconvenienced by a subpar player.
Making it a zen-purchased service would make financial sense, gate it somewhat to avoid excessive casual swapping of bound items and significant devaluing of said items, and give players who truly want to "start over" with a different alt an option to salvage some of the investment they've already made.

Testament - Wizard
Pestilence - Ranger

I am not sure I would do it at this point as I already went and made the classes I want to play, but there are those days...if that button was available I would have traded in my main for something else..

The devs here could benefit by adding a class respect token for the players that only play one class but have an interest in trying out another class and pick up revenue on those of us who like having alts but found out we dislike one of our classes that we rather have as another class.
The devs will win out with this; think of all the CW out there wishing they could switch to a GWF. Than if the devs adjust GWF downward and buff CW, bam they win again. I have seen this type of thing in other games and it can be quite profitable if you chase the carrot to be top DPS. Those of us who have many characters can sit tight on our character that we already invested $$ into or we can tweak them by joining the chase.
Who loses now, oh yeah NW, because a few players rather quit than invested hundred if not thousands of hours or money into another character vs. paying $20 to swap over to another class. I rather keep my player base and give them more options and that is what a class respect token will provide, more options.
Add to that, class specific quests.
Having the ability to simply swap class is the better option and easier if the player has the resources to buy a weapon/armor for the new class. Which will still be cheaper than the other option.
