OP lowkey terrified of “Elf only” PFs.
You can have faction pride without the Horde and Alliance conflict. Not our fault Blizz kept dropping the ball while pushing a conflict between their player base.
So what’s wrong with wanting to play with your friends? It’s part of what can make a game fun. I know it’s the main reason I continue to play WoW. Making your character look the way you want them to is a big part of RP. People have been doing that for a long time in video games and tabletop RPGs. I know I did it a lot when I used to play D&D. It was fun looking for just the right figure and then painting* them.
- I tried painting figures once and it wasn’t for me. I’m so glad Hero Forge wasn’t around when I played. They totally would have drained my wallet. lol
Faction pride died years ago
Faction pride died off post-vanilla when every single expansion the alliance and horde npcs worked together to defeat big baddies.
My character will regularly obey a complete stranger’s request to murder a dozen people in exchange for 8 silver and a hat I’m not even going to wear, do you think I would blink at teaming up with a dwarf to throw my grandmother off a cliff for a hat I WILL wear?
Green, red, blue, white, we’re all murderhoboes under the skin.
Think you’ve lost touch with what’s important

- Imagine thinking World of Warcraft is strictly a roleplay game. Even if it’s RP for you, you should be able to recognize the majority do not use it for RP.
- Imagine being an RPer and not realizing cross-faction opens up more RP options for people than it takes away.
one bonfire wasn’t enough
For us old heads it is kind of disappointing. It’s always been orcs vs. humans.
Times are a-changing. Everybody is inclusive. “Let’s not hurt anybody’s feelings.”
Factions exist BECAUSE of conflict.
What if your human teammate was more “ride or die” horde than you?
I’d sooner eat my own hat than share company with a fox hunting human. gilneaus deserved to be plagued
Faction pride can’t exist when there’s objectively correct factions to pick if you want to enjoy the game.
You’ll enjoy your new role in the Alliance ‘n’ Friendz fan club.
Or else you get another lecture on honor.
The war is over and we are at peace
Note to self: ‘make guild named “alliance and friends”’
Everything that’s wrong with the WoW Community. Hiding behind “RPG” when you’re just a “I got mine, you can get lost” attitude. Playing on the Horde no less.
“I joined the Dynasty team, I’m better than everyone else”
Unless you want my goblin lawyer to sue you for everything you got, I suggest not.
