I don’t even understand how people think faction conflict matters at all in this game. The story is worse than a 50 cent ebook off amazons 195th page in the books section, they’ve pulled so many contrived excuses to keep the faction war going that it’s just an eye roll to see what new excuse they invent every patch. The war ended with WC3, even the very birth of WoW was nothign more than a completely storyless, asspulled “But he drums of war sound once again” to force faction conflict.
Nearly 15 years, 7 expansions, 23 raid tiers and precisely TWO have involved player faction conflict to the point of being the primary villain.
