WotLK faction transfer not confirmed?

[Swade-bleeding-hollow]

Why did I just get the below ticket response about faction change in WotLK?? I thought this was confirmed before launch and we were just waiting for a date? Blizzard please explain.

I know they bactracked on race changes, but I don’t believe faction change was a part of that reversal.

They are trying to preserve a pvp season or 2 I’d gather.

oh no ,the flood of humans.

question is will there be pvp season to preserve? I hear of doom and gloom in arena. DOn’t run it myself to see first hand. BUt I will be honest.

I ain’t much of a raider for a weapon. and rng hate me so…I lack gold to even gdkp normal naxx for better odds.

and pretty sure walking up in savage will not pass some crew’s heroic dungeon checks either.

so yeah…they really like making entry hard here. Even Ion will let you get face slapped a few days for a 7/7 weapon or 2. So I will say pvp may have pop issues at higher levels in time.

If they’re worried about PvP server balance, just… don’t offer it on PvP servers. Easy. Let the rest of us PvE and RP nerds play with our friends who rolled the opposite faction.

Race and Faction Change

While it won’t be ready for our launch in September, we have changed our minds on this, and we’re working on adding the Race and Faction change as a paid service in a future patch.

Originally, we planned not to offer Race and Faction change at all, because it felt like it removed some of that fantasy feeling of having dramatically different physical attributes that affect your gameplay. We were also a little worried about players chasing the “flavor of the month” in terms of racial abilities However, we’re convinced by the argument that being able to play with your friends is more important, and that you should be able to bring your accomplishments with you when you do. This turns out to be the same tradeoff provided by transferring between realms, which is already available as a paid service, so it makes sense to make the same decision with respect to Race and Faction change.

In short, this fits our aim to nurture and protect social experiences, so we’ll work on it for an upcoming patch.

Faction changes are part of it.
