Wrong, I can now make Draenei/Tauren only groups. The takeover begins, NOW
Also, idc what folks do with their guilds. I just want to do the merc guild I’ve always wanted to make with a xfaction guild. Folks can make their pampered petite elf guild if they want. They already do.
This is a good change!
Some people like to do a little more challenging content than just get KSM and in order to do that effectively right now you almost have to be horde. So its great that after this that will no longer be the case. It opens up a lot of possibilities while closing just very little if any
I’m sorry you find this to hurt your RP experience, however gameplay has to come first.
Guilds should be cross-faction as well they are the friends and community that have been built for example I play with a horde guild but I would prefer to play as an alliance but don’t want to leave the guild I have been playing with for 8+ years I would still need to be able to add and take things from the guild bank to be a helpful part of the guild and help my friends and Guild community we would also not be able to see guild chat to see if guild members need help with something . so I would Highly request that dev’s would add the cross-faction for guilds as well.
First good news I’ve seen in a while. I may roll an alliance character in the near future because of this.
This is the seed of an idea that we are being asked to iterate on. This isn’t the final say, so being indignant, or uppity isn’t really necessary yet.
The chef has previewed some new meals and asked us if we’d like to suggest any changes or additions before the menu is finalized.
Now’s our chance to ask for everything we want and hope that they continue to generously accommodate our feedback.
This is awesome. The RPG element has always been meaningless. Great step in the right direction. Next, they should just give all classes access to all abilities, all legendaries, and all transmogs. No more capital cities too. Hell, let’s just start at level 60 too. Faction identity in PVP??? what a stupid concept. Min/maxer for life!
OMG!!! I NEED to recreate this…
Hooves or gtho.
If cross-faction trading gold is allowed, it will be a boom for moving large amounts of gold cross-faction. Might as well open up mail gold cross-faction.
That’s the optimistic hope in the back of my mind, as well. I know they don’t like to move quickly and break things (other than when it comes to balance decisions. <.<)
But thank you for pushing this. I am soooo tired of the stupid factions.
Huge news!
Alliance has been slowly dying over the years, yes. I don’t know where you’ve been, but it isn’t news. The premade group finder for Alliance is at least half the size of the Horde one all day. Guilds have been switching to Horde in large numbers.
This change allows Alliance players to have access to more groups in every type of content.
But then they left the Helm’s Deep instance and weren’t friendly anymore. 
Honestly, the faction barriers should be dropped entirely.
Horde and Alliance have been working together since before this game existed.
Not to mention, in every MMO that does drop faction barriers, it’s been a net positive.
Guilds too please!
I’m still invited to parties as the token elf, right?
Its a good thing but im surprised its not going to be added to LFD/LFR, where the que times are already horrendous.
NO!
Roll a cow or goat.
