New faction please Blizzard

All races will bow down to their elven overlords !

Sorry lass, I’ll only bow down to a dwarf. Any dwarf as long as it’s not Moira and it’s male. Someone I could ship myself to in my head.

@Trelii-aggramar

Might be a good idea, but methinks that the Booty Bay/Blood sail Admiral approach would be better, and each player could do quests to advance their reputation towards another faction while simultaneously losing reputation with their current faction.

Like Aldor and Scryer in BC.

@Trelii-aggramar

Although, my Kal’dorei DK sometimes forgets, and flys to Booty Bay only to get immediately attacked by the guards there.

LOL I’ve had friends run into that same problem.

I would be interested in seeing Alliance and Horde as story only factions, allowing all players to play queue together. But using this new found story choice given to Horde players, given to all players.

It’s like the Alliance and Horde rivalry continues, but as the story unfolds you can choose whether to help the Alliance or the Horde at key story points. And depending on your choice determines which zone you go to to quest and how the npcs view you as either hostile or friendly. And when you make a choice the zone that is “Alliance aligned” reacts negatively to players that made a story choice to aid the Horde.

So if say an Orc decided that Sylvanas is doing something dishonorable in Drustvar, he can choose to aid Sylvanas or subvert her. If the choice is made to subvert her efforts then he can go to Drustvar to quest and the “Alliance aligned” areas react friendly. But if he chooses to aid Sylvanas then the “Alliance aligned” areas react in a hostile manner.

I think it would allow players to choose the path they see as aligning more closely to the ideals they think the Alliance or Horde should embrace. And give a deeper connection to their faction preference.

This would keep old world content like Org and SW as Horde/Allie areas respectively but new areas that open up could allow for the intermixing of players on both factions.

They would never fracture the playerbase in the manner, separating guilds and such.

A 3rd faction is pretty much a silly pipe dream at this point.

I don’t get why they don’t create a betrayal questline, where you can betray your current faction. Or create a third neutral faction comprised of both faction races. To join said faction you would do a questline, and both horde and alliance can join that faction. We already have the framework, the champions of Azeroth is in essence that.
