Again, there is a potion in the game, that alchemists can make that lets players of both factions talk to each other. Clearly Blizzard doesn’t think it’s problem.
Since the Kaldorei Empire at least, seeing as the Night Elves recruit a bunch of races including the tauren to help turn back the Burning Legion during the War of the Ancients.
If you drink it and can understand them… And they drink it and can understand you… then you can literally talk to each other…
As I understand it, it was originally intended to be made by Alchemy but they changed it to be only available by vendor purchase.
True. Assuming that everyone gets the potion, has it all the time, and uses it constantly. It’s a gimmick item with a limited use rather like the Inky Black Potion.
Our only objection is to Sylvannas. She must suffer far worse than any being has ever suffered and continue to suffer for all eternity and even then that may not be enough.
Basically this, yes NPCs start drama/fights but the factions have consistently banded together to face some kind of world ending threat over and over. I be for this being added to in game! Making this change to grouping would also help the heavily in-balanced servers have better que times. PvP does not need to be changed either since yes can still use the argument that ‘some do no agree with something bla bla bla’, there fixed! Plus PvP already has the que with the opposite faction ability enabled with that merc mode thing.
I totally agree with you that faction war expansions are bull****.
But even if we keep them, the factions can fight each other without the players being forced to. Or we can be at war with the opposite faction but still party up with individuals from that faction, just like how the major lore characters can work together across the aisle. Or even in the worst case scenario, they can use the race-changing technology from BoD so that the entire party is alliance or horde. They have options besides this artificial barrier that will still let them do “faction war” expansions if they really want to.
