I spent so many years fighting alliance and so much time hating them when they gank me in warmode that I can’t see myself happily playing with someone I know is on alliance.
When i first saw the title i thought it said “Enable Gross Faction Grouping”. lol
On topic though i would like to see cross faction grouping but they would need to give all of us a common language to understand each other first because not everyone uses voice chat or discord.
I’m down. Would probably help the population balance as well, as people could roll what they want and still be with friends horde side. Don’t have to let us walk in the opposite factions cities or anything. But if a group of players want to guild up, let them.
How dare you want this game to be fun and allow people to play their favorite race while grouping with all of their friends at the same time? Diabolical!! /s
I think even ion himself was quoted as saying that cross-faction grouping was “extremely unlikely”.
If you scroll down in the interview he cites the reason being that raiding and similar premade PvE content requires more long-term social connections that are “incompatible” with the faction divide.
