Cross Faction Grouping

YES! FINALLY! Now random dungeon groups won’t have to wait as long–

[Emphasis mine]

OH COME ON! Just pull the trigger already and make dungeoning fully cross-faction already! Add a “Only queue with same faction” checkbox for all two people who are just that averse to seeing the other faction in a PvE instance.

There’s a minority of losers holding back the system who will whine if they’re in a group with a vulpera or a night elf.

Break down all the barriers.

yes, break down the barriers ( though this is EXACTLY the way it was done in remix curiously enough)

This is such a dumb restriction, it doesn’t really help anyone. If I want to play with one or two friends who are crossfaction how does this help us? We still need 2 people. Now we gotta somehow convince randoms to join our group which defeats the point of the dungeon queue in the first place.

Literally you refuse us the ability to play with people who are in our own guild unless we make a full group. And nobody is searching LFG for non M+ dungeons btw. Kind of hard to just get to the point where we can actually do M+'s if when we’re trying to just chill, relax, and level together and we already hit a massive pointless roadblock. Then we just give up and decide to play other games who don’t prevent you from playing with others.

Like this is the same patch where they’re trying to buff racials for underplayed races. So the whole “Well just go make characters on the same faction hur hurr” doesn’t apply. Maybe I want to actually play a forsaken once in awhile? So now I’m just banned from playing with my alliance only focused friends? Maybe I like a certain racial, and they like a different racial, and the classes we played with our favored racials are on opposite factions. Again, you limit and restrict us… Maybe I just like the aethsetics and animations of a certain race and identify with it the most, and they happen to feel the same with the opposite faction race. So one of us has to bite the bullet to have fun?

Why put this in your game? Who CARES about this? They can please continue to sniff farts in their single faction groups if it matters that much to them. I don’t want to hear the “Well they may feel forced to join cross faction queues since their queues would be slower” OH YOU DONT SAY?! LIKE HOW IM FORCED TO PICK A FACTION I DO NOT WANT TO PLAY JUST TO PLAY WITH FRIENDS?!! HMMMM?

I feel like this restriction can’t be what the devs wanted, but some kind of technical issue they can’t currently circumvent. That was true in the past for various cross-faction activities, and over time, the devs worked it out. Trying to stay optimistic here.

20 years of watching this dev team do unexplainable things makes me think otherwise.

they could literally make a server for the people who don’t want to cross faction and then give everyone in the game a free server transfer to allow them to go there. it’s that freaking simple.

their “compromise” is stupid and a half measure.
