Can We Tone Down the Sanctuary Cities?

Sanctuary cities are being leaned on wayyyyyy too much since SL. We haven’t had a single Horde-only or Alliance-only city since BFA. I get the whole faction friendship thing, but that doesn’t mean that Horde and Alliance shouldn’t get new separate faction-themed cities.

Please start making faction-specific cities again and stop leaning so hard into Sanctuaries.

Less work for Blizzard so I doubt it.

I agree. Those dirty orcs and the rest of the farmville cast dirty up the streets with their droppings. Send them to their own city.

Yup. The answer is obviously no.

I’d rather we get BETTER sanctuary cities, the past 3 expansions we’ve had plenty of opportunities to get full on zones designed for RP and casual social interactions and of 3 something expansion cities, only one of them is good for it and it takes a ton of unlocking.

I’m really hoping Midnight and Last Titan are gonna start a world revamp to go with the houses eventually being in most central zones. They haven’t touched any of the cities we have, nor do they innovate much with cities introduced, why ask em to do twice as many going forward? That’s asking to get double the bad design back at probably lesser quality for both.

Next expansion we’re gonna turn Silvermoon into a faction neutral city.

i’m not gonna lie, i read ‘sanctuary cities’ and half expected this thread to be greyed out, and full of people arguing.

clearly, i’ve been watching too much news, and worrying about the future too much. ._.

Boralus is the best looking Alliance city in the game imo.

I hated Oribos.

Valdraken was a breath of fresh air after that airport nightmare.

I don’t mind shared hubs, I play both sides (shhh) so easier with one hub for me.

We’re also gonna get all the elves to join hands and sing and be friends in elfburg.

It’s too early. You have to wait until the mods go to bed that way the thread can rage all night.

Title made me think this was going to be political. But we’re already toning that down.

Blizzard should follow suit and give us a Horde city and an Alliance city in Midnight. Instead of letting the stinky forms of elf into Silvermoon they should give that to Horde and make something else for the Alliance.

I agree. Get rid of sanctuary cities. Merge the factions.

It’s well past time both mechanically and narrative.

Where is this alleged omnipresence of super importance elves have had?

They have been a main thing since TBC. This is nothing new.

At least we had separate faction cities/towns/villages back then. We haven’t had as much as a mud hut in the middle of a forest that kills any alliance since SL started the no-faction-themed city trend.
