An Alliance friend and I want to play thundercleave together so I’ve been grinding gear and renown on a second shaman. While I was doing this, I thought to myself why is this even necessary? Why, in 2021, can I not just play with my friends?
Obviously it isn’t a technical reason because we already have mercenary mode. The only things I can think of are:
- Blizzard is too lazy or cheap to make the changes needed.
- Blizzard is too greedy because they want people to pay them for faction transfers (I’ve been tempted to do this more than once while gearing my second shaman).
- Blizzard are listening to the people who mistakenly think that there is a lore reason Alliance and Horde should be separated (there isn’t; characters from different factions have fought together).
Am I missing something?
