Hybrid classes are definitely the way to go. If you feel FOMO from not having Shadowmeld on a Paladin, pick up Precious Bloodthorn Loop, it's basically the non-elvish-man's Shadowmeld and basically a vanish. There's lots of information for you in DoByG's The War Within F2P Baseline Guide as well. I would personally recommend Night Elf Druid, probably the most versatile race/class combo. Good luck on your adventure!

By hybrid u mean the classes that can do different roles ?
For now I'm sticking to the horse side so I trying out hunter and paladin for lvl 20 and see how things go
It sure is annoying to see blood elfs class ability is so bad maybe worst of all classes .
I was thinking for now I farm stuff on these chars , things like materials and sockets , and store in the bank so if in the future I wanna reroll to druid as people suggest I won't have to start from 0.

At max level, sure. Because Blizzard balances max level. There is a meta. Some classes suffer until they get buffed and it's a cycle but no class is taht far away from any other class. Like if you're not doing high keys, it just doesn't matter. Then I'm fully on board with the "play what you like" advice.
But level 10-20s are simply not balanced at all. Like not even remotely. Your rotation for many classes is simply spamming 1 (maybe 2) button for many classes, be it Whirlwind, Spinning Crane Kick or whatever. You're really not playing the twink for the class because you don't play that class at low level. You just W key.
There is a vast difference between playing an 11 Fury Warrior (w/ Lifestealing) vs a 10-11 Rogue. You're just not going to have a good time playing a rogue. And if you are, why ask "what should I play?"
People who answer "just play what you enjoy" may as well say nothing at all because you're not answering the question. It's like saying "there are vastly different power levels but I'm not going to tell you waht they are". Do you think someone will keep playing a class they don't enjoy just because some rando on the Internet told them to?
Particularly at level 10-20 where the cost of re-rolling is so low you should just start with whatever the current meta is and see if you like it . If you don't, do something else. You don't lose much. You'll have to do that anyway when Blizzard inevitably nerfs your chosen twink class and makes it horrible to play.

Its actually saying "there are vast power differences between classes but that is subject to change at a whim, so pick a class you enjoy so no matter what happens, you'll still enjoy it"
A lot of people have a number of classes they enjoy, so it is useful to point out which ones are currently strong. But you're doing a disservice to people by not pointing out that the F2P "tier list" (such as it is) has changed pretty dynamically over the years

Thats kinda what I was aiming at , like I know I eventually play what I love the most , but I want a class to do things I can't do as other classes and unlock most transmogs with , farm most bosses and rares with .
Like If in the future I'll like rogue , I know I won't have to farm n bleed for 2 days with it to get that skin .
So what r the best classes in ur opinion that can solo most bosses at dungeons at lvl 20 n up as a f2p acc
Is paladin a good choice .
Also what about which class is more fun to play with the few skills we got at 20

So u think prot pally is s++ tier right now ?
Chops

Tier lists are very silly to me
Prot pally is really, really strong. Near unkillable in pve. It's not as fast as other classes but there little, if anything, it cant just chew its way through.
If you want to put in the grind for gems (which is miserable for strength classes) you'll be rewarded with a great character that is essentially futureproof

Well the odds of you solo https://www.wowhead.com/npc=73167/huolon on a death knight are not in your favor.
Hunter pet will ignore aoe damage in 50% of cases and move out automatically from another 45% of cases. Bosses being immune to taunt does not mean you can't manage aggro. Nuances are effected by situations you are in so there is no silver bullet. MM has more upfront damage for situations where you just want be kiting 1 shot mobs spamming steady shot. BM with exotic heal pet and right talents is strong for anything that is remotely scaled to your level. Currently cobra shot refreshes active slow on target. If you got something slowed it will hardly catch up. Also If a prospect of taming x2 of https://www.wowhead.com/npc=32517/loquenahak or https://www.wowhead.com/npc=33776/gondria at 20 does not convince you - i do not know what will.
In general have hard time taking seriously any rogue or hunter that is not night elf
a. esthetics, animations, vibes, tmog looks, racial mount
b. https://www.wowhead.com/spell=135201/shadowmeld
You will get slower queue time as pure dps in lfd, sure. But again - nuances. Are you fine with being a tank / healer or not. Shadowlands lfd hardly pop in general. Dragonflight got bot assistance regardless of your class. There are about 14-17 dungeons at level 20 you currently can enter but unable to queue up for.
if you currently want to roll lfd just for sake of it with options to tank, heal dps - level a druid.
Game is not what it use to be and far more account wide.
What took 8 month of prison key farms now doable via timewalking vendor.
You will be perfectly fine with any race for a hunter just wont be optimal.
Shadowmeld is stealth. The ring is invisibility. Not a stealth.
Hence one effected by flare and stealth detection and the other one is snoop dogg sunglasses meme.
But sure one of best items added to this "game" and set and forget ring for generations to come regardless of stat or level squishes.

This ^ ole' boy isn't even close to BiS, but this is a fine example.
Your kit is very straight forward. Grab your BiS from TBC dungeons & grind enchants first, then gems
Going F2P I'm not sure how you'd go about deciding on a neck. I don't know if F2P can grind up thier Gem proff to get a 3-slot Neck from DF.
So... I'll leave that up to you to decide on.
You're BiS helm can be https://www.wowhead.com/item=28350/warhelm-of-the-bold?bonus=8810:6710 or https://www.wowhead.com/item=27408/hope-bearer-helm if you just want to get an easy 3-slot.
Your BiS chest is an epic proc on https://www.wowhead.com/item=29337/the-exarchs-protector but if it pops blue, you can still rock it, or go grab https://www.wowhead.com/item=24363/unscarred-breastplate?bonus=6710 provided it procs a desirable tertiary stat.
True BiS - ( additional gemslots on gear awarded via luck-blessed procs on dungeon gear ) are worth taking the time to farm up, but are not necessary.
Of coarse, if you're going true F2P, well... you may as well go whole-Hog & grind out the best kit you can have!
Optional weapons:
Prot : https://www.wowhead.com/item=11684/ironfoe?bonus=6712 & https://www.wowhead.com/item=27901/blackout-truncheon?bonus=6710
Ret : https://www.wowhead.com/item=28222/reaver-of-the-infinites?bonus=6710 & https://www.wowhead.com/item=13505/runeblade-of-baron-rivendare?bonus=6712 also being available in TW's at ilvl 96.
BiS trinks will be https://www.wowhead.com/item=111948/gruuks-evil-eye?bonus=4815 , https://www.wowhead.com/item=113408/grekas-dentures?bonus=4815
& possibly https://www.wowhead.com/item=88358/lessons-of-the-darkmaster?bonus=6710 , but if you score some other fun tank stuff from any dungeon, you may want to deploy it till you get fully kitted out & can just focus DPS boost trinks.
The main issue with Druid is: What spec do you want to focus on?
Do you want to play ALL 4 specs? If so : you'll have to focus Bear first, so you can solo instances for duplicate gear so you can gem both Agi & Int on the alternate kit.
If that's worth doing for you, may RnJeezus bless your drops...
I wish you good fortune in your adventures to come!

Coding RealmChat, the WoW F2P addon
It used to come in the mailbox, and you could open a ticket so a Game Master would put it in your inventory, that's how I got mine.
IIrc mounts from achievements are now directly added to the collection upon completion (or maybe just come in bag, it's been a few years i didn't get one like that)

What about a realm ? Should I choose high population realm like draenor or low population ones? What realm f2p players go to in horde ?
