At this point we should all be able to do the PvE together. Most of us already play both factions to get the most out of the game. Let us play what we want and create a different faction system.
They can keep the faction divide for everything except instanced content. All that cross-faction grouping would do is give all groups a larger pool of players to choose from.
No, they’re not. Not really. Because the problem involving Alliance races remains present, and in the grand scheme of minmaxing, people would still be going the BiS races for raiding, which is Horde, while Alliance has best racials for PvP. Neither of which mean anything when doing bleeding edge content.
Your entire original post is complaining about a faction divide because you feel forced you and your friends had to go Horde. You didn’t. But now you reveal you wanted to play Horde the whole time, so your championing your tight knit group of friends. Why aren’t they here making the case? As far as anyone’s concerned in that situation, you lucked out lol
Look. Play a void elf, and move on. It’s a horde silhouette. Toss on a helmet and you’re fine. And then go read up on how to network, use the forums, use discord. All of your problems are solved. If you’re here championing for them, you can make the change to Alliance rather than, once again, asking for a total destruction of a major game pillar, which would break the game in some aspects involving coding.
Tbh, I don’t know why they haven’t just merged Guilds with the Communities feature. Just make Guilds xrealm so that folks aren’t restricted any longer.
what you propose will never come to pass because 50% of this game does not want to play horde. they arent wrong for believing in this. the horde should not be played by 100% of this community. if you think it should, you are literally saying you want the faction war to not exist, and thus are in line with thinking they should remove faction barriers for pve.
also, i love this game because im able to get cutting edge as alliance.
Still supporting this, factions are archaic and the lore hardly supports it anymore. Blizzard has to contrive the story to a ridiculous degree to keep it going. What’s next? Talanji stubs her toe and sends the Zandalari fleet after the Alliance? Or Rokhan chokes on chicken and leads the council to vote Gallywix in his dying breath to be Warchief, and the other leaders just agree because “what could go wrong?”
It was dumb after MoP, it was worse after Legion, and it’s simply dreadful now.
