My stealth experience with 3 different races

I'd like to main a human rogue however, even with 5 points in the talent that is supposed to enhance stealth, I get detected more than my nightelf with no points in it, and goblin with no points. Are humans bugged in regards to stealth? Maybe certain areas have better stealth detection mobs than others? My gob is in gob starter area. My NE played NE starting area and Elwynn forest some. Human played in Northshire, E-Forest. Plan on doing more testing with the NE in E-forest, but so far humans seem bugged. again, my human has 5 points in the sub talent that lowers cooldown, increases movement spd, and is supposed to lower chance of detection. Thanks for any feedback.

Night Elves have Shadowmeld. Outside of being a Stealth-as-long-as-you-stand-still, it also adds a hidden 1 rank to Master of Deception / Camouflage.

This means that when putting five talent points in Camouflage, Night Elf effectively have 6 ranks in the talent.

Whether that makes it broken is up to you; with the Shadowmeld racial competing with, say High Elf Rogues having +2% Agility and the ability to regen 50 energy over 5 seconds with a 1.5 second cast.

Shadowmeld works as intended and works the same in if not vanilla 1.12, at least in World of Warcraft Classic.
