Can we just agree xfaction pot is speaking common?

So, as we know, the “common” language for Alliance is common and orcish for Horde. So it’s easily presumable that when there isn’t a [Thalassian] or [Forsaken] in front of our /s chat, we’re speaking either of the aforementioned languages.

But during cross faction roleplay, I feel like you can’t really assume every Alliance race will speak orcish when addressing one of the Horde race, vice versa and then switching back to common/orcish when addressing one of their own faction.
Not to mention when a conversation involves several people that are cross faction.

And to add more to that, languages are very, very rarely mentioned in any WoW novels, as far as I can remember, so it’s pretty safe to assume that everyone speaks common like it was english in the real world and switching over to their native tongue when in a private setting, with only other members of their race.

Which, I think should be followed suit in RP.
Thoughts?

I do agree, I just forget the potion so bloody often, I kind of like the excuse of it being an in-game ‘thing’…

Thought that was common sense?

Common is used by the Goblin cartels too for trading.
