With the spectacular announcement of the croos-facion guilds, I think the devs should make an effort and launch the croos-servers at the same time as well.
With the crossing of factions, an important barrier was broken, let’s finish breaking it with the crossing of servers as well.
This would especially help people from servers like illidan and stormrage, where the population is highly polarized. Crossing factions is of little use since the vast majority of those servers already belong to the same faction.
It would only be an opportunity for blizzard to sell faction transfers.
If you want to show that you really care about the community, the crossover of servers is necessary, so if you are on a horde majority server you can be in a guild of a server regardless of the prevailing population of it.
I know that many will say that the trade of items would be a problem.
but no, they can stop the current restrictions for the moment, I’m sure that if they do that, everyone would be happy.
I wouldn’t mind seeing this, have friends on other realms and don’t feel like leveling or giving Blizz more money because they are stubborn and greedy.
Sounds like you are suggesting Communities…which already exist in-game.
They would also never allow free transfer of gold, gear, or crafted items between servers because it would destroy what little is left of server economies.
The only benefit that “cross-server guilds” would offer that communities do not is the ability to transfer wealth and materials between servers. You can get the guild perks from being in any guild, even if it’s not related to your raid.
Not really. That’s the whole point of why they’re making cross-faction guilds. If you want to actually communicate effectively in WoW, you need a guild.
Yes I’m in a couple and they are not useless by any means, but Blizzard has already stated that they understand that to raid effectively you need a guild. Too much of the communication infrastructure in WoW is build up around guilds. That’s the sole reason they’re making cross-faction guilds. Communities just don’t work for raiding and even Blizzard recognizes this so there’s no point in arguing otherwise.
I’m going to guess that has more to do with the sharing of resources (which I have mentioned multiple times at this point) vs. this silly “communication” argument that you are making. Communities have the exact same communication capabilities that guilds do. Possibly better with the addition of the channel creation capability…and obviously much better if you are in a cross-server raid.
