The Horde and The Alliance are not exactly friends. Why should the factions be able to speak the same language or communicate? The game is called World of Warcraft. The game is more or less about a war between these factions (and always has). If we take that away, shouldn’t the game just be called “Craft”?
You can always switch to the other team by buying it in the Blizzard store.
Cause it’s called “common” ?
Common is the language spoken by the Alliance members. All Alliance characters should understand Common language.
Orcish is the common language of the Horde.
In warcraft 3 though… And 1- 2 for that matter. All races spoke common. The reason we speak different languages in the game was for gameplay reasons.
I might remember wrong on this one. But if I ain’t… The reason Blizzard seperated our languages was because of harassment reason in pvp situations.
We see it in BFA as well when we are in Warfronts. That the Horde and Alliance speak directly to each other in the same language and understand each other.
Not saying the races don’t have their own unique languages. But Common is well. A common language most races on Azeroth should understand. If it werent for the gameplay reasons and too prevent harassment.
The Elixir of Tongues where added to the game as a experiment Too see how well cross faction communication would go. Or so they said back then
In the lore (including the RPG, novels, manga, and early games), almost all intelligent races speak Common as it is not a “human” language per se.
Great point.
I’m of the old Warcraft school.
I think the factions should be at war to create a certain atmosphere. This is the spirit of the video game.
Yeah, the faction leaders.
Common grunts, not so much.
Excuse you, I’m the leader of all Vulpera.
I agree… But no more Warchiefs for the chopping block to make villains please 
The Horde fan base are kinda tired of loosing cool faction leaders for the sake of the plot.
so much this…
we’re kind of running low on leaders at this point, at least those that people care about…
I’d like us to drop the entire Friendship and magic show as well, so I can finally get my revenge for the Caravan bombing those Alliance criminals did.
I also play as Horde. I totally agree with you. I love both factions (almost) equally.
I hate what they did to Sylvanas for example.
I’m not 100% sure but I think that was the case yeah. They could disable it in WM and pvp if they worry about it there, but besides that I haven’t seen the point of the restriction anymore for ages now.
It is. Not Horde v Alliance craft. The war is us coming together against huge threats.
In case you haven’t noticed we’re getting friendly, won’t be long before we can all be friends.
I mean, people struggle to even talk to eachother respectfully - or in common tongue (English being the guideline), WITHIN a faction.
I just made a thread about it even.
Elixir of tongues etc can for sure help, but idk about the people behind the screens… 
English is not the guideline.
Hasn’t been since WOTLK started.
It is a common sense guideline, basically aiming to be respectful to your surrounding.
If possible; Choose a language your fellow humans can understand.
Kill the faction barrier.
Legit infuriating when i tired to trade something to a party member only to not be able to whisper him at first and then figure out that you have to be inside a damn dungeon to to trade.
