Ah yes, just like how dungeons, raids, arenas, RBGs can be queued for…weird…
It also shows its 100% possible to group horde and alliance players together to do content.

Cross faction grouping is probably the only reasonable thing they can do to fix the disparity now. Will they do it? We’ll have to see.
But they definitely will do something about it. Mark my words.

Hey if you want cross-faction exclusively for Normal & Heroic dungeons and LFR, sure, go right ahead.
Anything beyond that won’t work though as it would require unlimited cross-faction grouping anywhere in the open world. Which is a big no-no.
Except it will work, and it should work.
Doubling the pool of players for M+, arena, RBGs would be nothing but good for the player base.
As i said, there is no good logical argument to have faction barriers up for instanced activates at this point. There is no good logical arugment preventing players from grouping, guilding, and raiding together, out side of “Well i just dont think its a good idea.” Thats not a good argument.
why.

Because that’s how the game works.
Thats not an answer, why would it not work. Blizzard has the ability to do it, we have seen it happen.
Why would it not work.
What actual, real reason, can you give me for not letting players group to do content across factions.

If they add this I’ll leave for good. I have zero desire to hold hands with the opposing faction. For us to do it to finish off the legion was necessary but still slightly unorthodox. If you want to play a game with care bears I’m sure you can find one. This is world of WARcraft. Not world of HOLDHANDScraft

Eh. I am for cross-faction battlegrounds, as in, removing factions and treating battlegrounds more like large Ogre Arenas, kinda like how Varian and Valeera were arena partners, etc.
But in game the world, Factions still need to mean something, otherwise Horde and Alliance are pointless. What reason would a Night Elf be wandering around Orgrimmar, or an Orc be wandering around Stormwind?
Why would a Human feel any “connection” with Horde? It wouldn’t make sense given the games foundation. They can be friendly, but absorbing one another’s cultures? That’s a stretch.

Instanced pvp content would only be okay for the sake of balancing queues. I see no reason why world content should be cross faction, personally.
This is just my opinion.

I am also aware that the story has outliers, but that doesn’t provide an excuse for hundreds of alliance and horde to be frolicking in each others capitals/territories.
Yep. And make cross faction optional.
Want all horde/alliance…don’t turn on cross faction.
See the usual bits…alliance wants a handout. I’d want for my hordes too. This gets sometimes 30 minute hits for LFD/LFR down to 10 minutes that is more quality game time for me.
Which is all that is wanted for some. LFD/LFR/LFG with more pops. Grrr I hate you? My alliance chars taking thrall on a tour of the maw ends only 1 way. Thrall not coming back to camp. Actually…thrall would have died in the tower to not even get this far.
LFD/LFR wait times won’t change. Unless you think that one side has a much larger proportion of tanks/healers than the other. (They don’t.)
Cross faction grouping is like Gun Control:
It sounds great in theory, but is completely impractical in practice…
whelp, whatever blizzard decides
they need to force more alliance to do more endgame content. not even joking. alliance casuals need to suffer for the decisions they make incorporating their lack of drive
there is no future for me or my guild without the ability to continue raiding cutting edge on alliance. there is no running to the horde faction to save us
either this game gives the choice to individual players and guilds to strive for the kind of endgame content of their choosing
or this game is fundamentally broken, and doesnt deserve my money. and then wow can burn to the ground. wholesale. every character deleted and blizzard dissolved. me and my guild go and raid ultimates in ff14. this is a the better future if the alternative is “raid as horde”. at the very least, this future is more fair.

Endgame content being raids rather than merely 4-10 M+15’s every week, then hoping for the Vault lottery?
The only lore I experience is the campaign quest. Outside of that I just hope to open lfg/lfr and they are more groups I can join.
This is, hands down, the best post I’ve ever seen on the forums.
OMG I love that video. Thanks for linking it! Its epic and absolutely right on.
Why does point two always get brought up? Clearly this should only function in instanced content.
No thanks.
10+ years on a pvp server tends to make one dislike the other faction.
The day they allow alliance scum to group with horde chads is the day I say farewell to WoW.

If it only works in instanced content, then it’s limited to Normal & Heroic LFD dungeons, and LFR, only.
You cannot separate regular dungeons/raids from the real world, because you must be able to join my group in the open world (OUTSIDE the instance) before you can zone INTO the instance.
Honestly doesn’t sound hard to overcome… allow grouping but you can’t actually do group stuff with the person such as heal them until your in an instance…
