It isnt just the forums. Its every major platform out there. If you believe the majority is against this because of some âmah faaahschions!!!â then im out of words. And again you dont have to play with Alliance if you dont want to and can just opt out. Just dont be surprised if youre 1 out of 100 that does that.

âHorde donât invites me to m+ elitist factionâ
Did you even read the full post? LFD/LFR is extactly the thing where cross-faction WONâT work⌠because itâs not activated for automatically generated groups.
All you can do then is have RL friends from opposite factions and search across faction in your oh so precious LFG tool, because itâs so interactive to click the decline button for people that have numbers showing you donât like.
So, I think itâs a good change, but it actually should go further and have the option to ALSO activate it for automatically generated groups - if you chose the option. Quicker LFD/LFR queues would be nice.
EWWWW⌠
JustâŚ
Happy for others, but seriously not in a million year i would play or stand together with an orc /undead/troll or goblin in same party.
Happy to play with other races.
There should be an option to specify which races you do not want to apply or join party.
Great news, but an opt-in cross faction for the random finder would also be appreciated.
Edit: I wonder if Uldaman is one of those problematic instances, I wouldnât mind farming Lost Dwarves mog on Alliance.

And what makes you think any alliance wants you in the party?
Great start - next step is to let factions be like covenants (easy to switch between and no restrictions - donât change race), please.
OR! Dont and make open world PvP fun again!
The low IQ people in this thread that donât like this update havenât even realized how much this is strengthening the faction-pride - which is great.

You mean âganking lowbiesâ? I really donât miss that. Still sad they replaced my PvE server with this new system. PvE servers were perfect to ignore the whole PvP part of this game.

Really?
It stopped working when you had PvE servers.
This.
I want to play Vulpera while staying with my Alliance guild.
Even though a lot of guild chat is on Discord, some of it is still in /g. Also, splitting the guild into an Alliance and Horde version and forming a community for both is not only tedious but weâd also lose perks such as having 1 guild bank. 
PvP combat is not the only point of the faction system.
The point is that the players you interact with should be around the size of a small town to ensure that you see more than you can know, but will often know of someone you see. That is to say, your friend circle is smaller than the serverâs, but the serverâs population is small enough that youâre likely to get a reputation if you stand out in any way at all, for good or ill.
Since how lively a server is depends on how many players you meet and since they wanted the world big, they had to reduce the amount of players you could talk to when making the world very large all while keeping the amount of players you run into the same despite the bigger world, and factions is how they did it.
Now, players find the town effect super inconvenient, but the town effect is what makes WoW a compelling MMORPG, and Blizzard has done everything in their power to destroy it. The nightmare starts with character transfers and just grows ever worse. Literally months after adding character transfer services to tBC, this same thing happened. Then Blizzard merged all the servers and now itâs happened again though it took far longer due to the size of the âserverâ - and now theyâre doing it again.
They have collapsed and destroyed the town effect twice over. Itâs a tragedy that they just do not understand it, nor do the playerbase it looks. Well, the huge group that joined for Classic certainly did, but here we are again.
The simple solution to this is the removal of sharding and the reintroduction of actual servers, offering transfers to a sustainable number and not the 200+ currently in existence.
And yeah, I agree on that, we are both from Frostmane, but Iâll be damned if I actually see anyone from there in game.
