Factions need an overhaul for warcraft to evolve

So, i was thinking.

I love PVP and World PVP and everything that entails, been having a blast even killing alliance players :P.

But does anyone else feels that Alliance/Horde doesnt make much sence anymore ? The game included Pandas, Dragons, Nightborne, Vulpera, Blood Elfs, Void Elfs, pretty much everything.

And yet, Horde is basically Orcs (and to a lesser degree Tauren), versus Alliance which basically is nowadays, Humans.

So its not even Horde vs Alliance, but Orcs vs Humans.

We have Dracthyr who are a family, basically figthing each other lore wise, figthing between each other for factions they just got in. Doesnt make sence.

As a Dracthyr, (Lorewise), why would i figth my Dracthyr brethren in the Horde ? less alone as im a Red Dragon.

If your going to maintain factions, i would love a complete overhaul. Perhaps where everyone go by themselvs, so Humans are Humans, maybe only with Dwarfs and Gnomes, Night Elfs go by themselvs, Void Elfs by themselvs, Orcs, Tauren, Trolls, then Undead by themselvs, etc.

This way we can maintain the regional issues, like Orcs and Night Elfs on Ashenvale (Warsong Gulch), and maybe Humans being ally of Elfs and stuff do help them, and stuff.

I dunno, you could somehow maintain Alliance/Horde for specific gameplay reasons, but lorewise it needs to evolve.

Also, would be nice to see conflicts progress. (And battlegrounds change as War and story changes)

If you go to Ashenvale, it changed during Cataclysm, how come they still figthing over it if the Night Elfs were pretty much kicked out of Kalimdor ?

Arathi Basin, wasnt it Humans vs Undead ? Undead were kicked from Arathi Highlands.

Had to stop here. Based on the title of the thread, WHY does WoW need to ā€œevolveā€?

Do you REALLY think the Horde is just the Orcs and Tauren? Have you even looked at the playerbase?

Well they said no more faction warsā€¦so you might be onto something.
They even celebrated that guy that got to level 70 without choosing a Faction

Id just like to be able to chose any race on either faction. And to be able to play and interact with players of the other faction as if they were my own faction.

And then faction can just be a flavour thing like covenants were in shadowlands.
You had your own hubs and quests, but you were not limited outside of that.

That would be my ideal for the game.

Night elves in shambles reading this.

the game doesnā€™t need to ā€˜evolveā€™ in a manner that adds very little

It has always been Orcs vs. Humans. This is why Orgrimmar and Stormwind are the gameā€™s consistent central hubs. All other races are side actors and filler for the game.
