I’m disappointed.
Cross-Faction guilds NEED to be included.

I’m excited for the cross faction raids, dungeons, and pvp. There are a ton of people that play Horde that hate having to play Horde. This will allow them to play the faction they want and still participate in the high end content more easily. After giving Horde better racials for several expansions, this was the only way to solve the imbalance issue in a sensible way without punishing players.
Though this is where I would draw the line, cross faction guilds would cause me to quit and several others I know to permanently quit the game. We’re here for World of Warcraft and the fight between the Horde and Alliance. It makes sense for the Horde and Alliance to work together at times, and since as I see running dungeons and raids as an OOC thing, it doesn’t break immersion for me. However having tons of cross faction guilds would signal a direction of game and story that they wouldn’t be able to walk back from and would be the end of my interest.

So don’t join a guild that allows both sides. It’s that simple.

Or I could just quit the game as I said… it’s that simple!

If that’s what does it for you, so be it. Not every camel has the same straw that’ll break its back.

Wait, wut? What did I miss?
No kidding. Everyone has different straws for themselves. It’s why the game doesn’t have what would likely be 25+ million subscribers if people didn’t quit the game.
I already understood this. Glad you clarified that you understood this after telling me how to play the game.

Let me put this in a way you will understand.
Just because you don’t like it personally doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t exist. It would be a facet of the game you need not interact much with, if at all. If it’s mere existence would cause you to throw in the towel, then perhaps your enjoyment of the game is far more vapid and tribal than you would rather think it is.

I think this will come in time, to be honest. But this is a huge first step and considering the coding that has to go in to untangle everything built so far? I can’t be upset if the rest takes more time.

Telling you how to play the game by saying… just don’t join a cross-faction guild, because you don’t like them?
Lol, okay.

The only thing vapid is telling people how they should enjoy the game.

While I think these changes are truly interesting, me -personally-, I would rather not see cross-faction guilds. Again, that’s me personally.
But that’s not the topic today, right? After all, this is interesting. This can allow friends to level together more and hopefully build up more friendships. It’ll be unique to see how it goes!

I dunno, man. Complaining about the mere notion of people being able to play with their friends and form communities around said friendships ruining your immersion and enjoyment of the game is pretty cringe.
You do you, tho.

I was pretty clear in my statement, it would break immersion for me. I don’t have any issue with people lobbying for it. If Blizzard feels it’s what is best for the game, they’ll do it. I just don’t have to keep playing if I don’t like it. I don’t know what is so complicated about that nor understand why you feel the need to have such issue with me saying that personally that would not be for me. I’m not the developer, it’s up to Blizzard to decide if that is a feature they want to put in. If they do, then it is up to me as a customer if that is something that doesn’t fit with what I am willing to pay $15 a month. With that, I will stop arguing with a level 10 alt.
Either way, I will reiterate I am excited that people won’t feel forced into a faction to do high end content now. I know it will be beneficial for so many people. I look forward myself to having an easier time finding high level keys as I had pretty much given up early in SL of finding groups quickly to push up the ladder.

That’s fine. Like I said, you can keep your immersion in-tact by not joining a cross-faction guild. There are a lot of guilds out there that like to be labeled as, ‘Neutral,’ and which try to bring about cross-faction RP events. Giving them the tools to make that work seems fair, and the idea of withholding those tools for any reason seems petty.
I cannot imagine how you managed to play through Legion surrounded by Horde and Alliance NPCs, or how you’re getting through Shadowlands when again, Horde and Alliance players both are surrounding you.

I’ll bite, it’s called War Mode. It means I get to kill the Horde players surrounding me.

Didn’t exist in Legion. That got added in BFA. Were you just not subscribed for Legion?
I played on Emerald Dream. A RP-PvP server.
