I have played games where they broke the faction barrier, they are awful, the levelling no longer makes sense, same goes for most of the activities. Others can or maybe they just ignore the replies and quotes. I’m also never left to just say my bit and go. We are different, I’m usually one of the few that will actually speak up against cross faction play.

I feel breaking that system would make it broken. I don’t feel the fundamental system is broken. I mentioned it yes because it was relevant to the discussion as a whole. It will make the factions somewhat less distinct in two sections of the game whereby the narrative has been doing this by having us share NPCs and work together for some time now already. Grouping with an orc for the purposes of ending bad dude01 in raid or dungeon does not equate to “I think humans should shack up in Orgrimmar” in the same way Jaina and Lot palling it up before Azsharas gates didn’t equate to us suddenly being able to enter the enemy city to “arm ourselves for Azshara”. We’re not talking holding hands 24/7, were talking uniting when needed, as has been set in precedent a thousand times already lorewise but we’re simply saying where this applies in story, make it so in game. You speak to your NPCs and they spit “I don’t like this, but X is right, we must unite for this…” But for reasons unknown you simply cannot group with that orc over there for this very specific task.

If anything it’s completely stupid how we can have a grand speech about needing to work together presented to us but then when it comes to the raid, gameplay wise you can’t do it. The narrative continually throws us together, so the idea of “horde working with alliance is wrong” has zero narrative credibility. The issue with “horde shouldn’t be able to play with Alliance” is it’s literally gameplay restrictions you’re arguing for.

Eso can you change factions
