No, he was a warlord in charge of those forces in his immediate area. Nothing changes that the Blood Elves are the Alliance campaign’s PoV and that Garithos is a villain to the playable Alliance heroes. To say otherwise is willful ignorance or outright deception, the latter of which Blizzard frequently puts out when it comes to High Elves.
I feel like faction boundaries should be removed in raiding and dungeons.
Since for every PVE dungeon scenario outside of BoDA, it’s the same goal for both alliance and horde.
Dungeon groups would be formed twice as fast, and people would be able to raid with their friends from the other faction. And seeing the diverse races from both factions working to kill the same big bad would be amazing.
Lorewise most common enemies have been taken down by combined horde and alliance forces as well.
Outside of PVE (raids and dungeons) I think the faction system should stay the way it is.

Absolutely.
Dungeon, Raids, Guilds.
PvE Content should be entirely cross faction.
Just let people play what race they want, and let raiding guilds recruit from the entire player pool. not just their faction

provided groups composed primarily of races from a former faction didnt kick former enemy races from their randoms. that would be the fastest way to destroy the game . like say you have 3 former alliance and 2 former horde. the 3 can vote to kick, and people will do stuff like that to each other. they’ve kicked mechas and vulperas for just being mechas and vulperas.
Mate I built up a community around myself. As a result other players on my server have somewhere they can also get content done.
What I haven’t done is have a sook about how it’s all too hard and I don’t want to join a guild (gasp!).
I Assure you the silent majority of the player base does not give a damn about what race you play.
And if people really want to make faction specific groups then more power to them. They should have that option if they want. More player choice is always nice
It’s almost like the Alliance helped liberate Suramar and Highmountain as well as the Horde.
It’s almost like the Horde helped Alleria and the Mechagnomes, Lightforged Draenei as well.
It’s almost like the Alliance were friendly with the Frostwolves in Draenor.
Gee, you mean to tell me stories can be written after the fact to make a race join the opposite faction you expect? NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED.

i have a guild on classic but i dont raid.
This already happens without cross-faction PVE.
Jerks will continue being jerks regardless of horde and ally being in the same dungeon group.
And like I said, since most common enemies/big bads have been taken down by the combined forces of alliance and horde, it would be way more accurate lorewise compared to only one faction being responsible for saving the world as shown through game play.
people who dont want the factions to be friendly, will either quit or troll the heck outta lfd and lfr.
Again, Good for you.
You only had to do that because of the 2 faction system.
The Problem effected you, just like effected me, just like it effects everyone else.
That’s why I want to fix it. Because it’s a problem.
I am part of a Guild. It’s made of me and All my IRL friends. We’re on the Horde. It’s pretty great.
Then they can Either grow a pair, and make their own group labeled “Horde Races Only”
Or they can get over it.
Almost every PVE scenario depicts alliance and horde working together. The problem your mentioning is related to behavioral issues, this wouldn’t change and mature folks will not behave this way whether it’s the current PVE system or the crossfaction PVE system.
Trolls will be trolls.
problem is, alliance is already gonna be the lower pop in a group because fewer of them. result would be always outnumbered, and kicked from alot of groups, ruining lfd and lfr for alliance as well.
Again, I assure you that most people don’t even look at their teamates in LFR or Heroic Dungeons.
If you’re joining group content like raids and Mythic plus. Then you may encounter a few groups that don’t want you because of your race. But you’ll encounter way more groups that don’t care and just want an extra ranged dps.
normally, i would agree. like i said, i like your idea. i think its too late for it to work because alliance is already outnumbered. if they built up the alliance again and then did it, it might work. but currently its not a good plan.
Mate, no one cares what race someone plays in end game. They care if they pull the required numbers.

I think we’re gonna have to agree to disagree.
From my perspective, It’s the only plan. The Nuclear option.
It will have growing pains, but it’s the only that will the faction imbalance, forever.
Alliance does not have a significantly lower pop than horde. And this outcome is 100% speculation.
Mature people who don’t have behavioral issues will not do this.

tell that to the players who dont want faction barriers removed and who argue against anything alliance players want, simply because they are the alliance enemy faction and vice-a-versa. not gonna work. the devs need to fix the alliance, then it might work
