thats the most racist thing ive heard.
Though I am not completely opposed to the idea of cross-faction grouping. I canât help but think this âfixâ is ultimately treating a symptom, rather than the actual problem.
Two main problems - player population & faction in-balance.
Symptom - not always enough players online (particularly outside of peak play hours) to reliably or consistently form groups in a timely manner.
^^ Cross-Faction play will help to alleviate the symptom, but doesnât really do much to fix the problem.
This is may sound a little sarcastic of even pedantic⌠But to fix the problem just make a better game that will attract more players. Make the content more meaningful & worth sticking around for, rather than the cycle of raid logging that many players find them selves doing since WoD. Re-balance racials.
Thinking back to Wrath of the Lich King & Cataclysm⌠I never struggled to form groups to pug dungeons or raids because there was pretty much 12 millions players world wide back then.
Attract players & retain players, this will solve so many problems.
Funny thing is Alliance racials are better nowadays (not by a lot) yet people still choose to play Horde due to the existing population imbalance.
Removing racials will change nothing.

Is this Cross-Faction only for âfriendsâ?
Only ppl who are friends in Bnet can do cross-faction instances?
No Random Cross-Faction Battlegrounds without premade group?
Damn you Covid19!
On topic, this is great news and I think I can finally go back to home!
We struggled to even raid some weeks due to lacking healers during trial of the crusade. None that could be pugged either. The dungeons groups looking for people were pretty much always lacking a healer or tank or both.

Next step: Cross-faction everything. Only have factions matter in warmode.

No. Remove war-mode and all references to violence. WoW needs to be a RPG wow builder game. All this violence is infecting our minds and causing harm in real life. such as white supremacy, transphobia and other white violent behaviours.
Good one nutjob.

Hello! I think this is great. Iâm just here to add my voice in-case a developer reads these replies and wanted more takes. As a player I am all for this change, this is great. Letâs go!
I would like to add that I, as a guild leader, would opt-in to (re)make my guild into Cross-faction Guild, in a heart beat. No questions asked. The freedom this offers current and potential members is so much value. Join a guild is opt-in, joining a cross faction guild could be opt-in. I see no problem with letting traditionalist remain as a Horde or Alliance Guild.
That was my feedback. Thank you for your hard work, I know that conditions must be rough at the moment. Looking forward to more news, patch 9.2 and now 9.2.5!
This is bad news. Horde are a bunch of try-hards with a superiority complex. Many people play alliance specifically not to play with them.

So donât play with them then. Itâs a choice.
Just like most people would choose not to group up with you given the chance.

Youâre replying to Vinzora the forum troll. 
Or one of his alts : https://check-pvp.fr/eu/Draenor/Vinzora
sighâŚ
i dont remember either but it was kinda like the german horde ashran premade who queued multiple 5 man as a full raid on alliance side
all they did was get their"free"honorable kills by stomping pugs with no leaders
we lack a premades vs premades only queue
1 for those who sync queue together outside the instance
and 2nd for guild vs guild pvp
ofc this suggestion is for premades and organised guild groups who go for stuff like this

good change unless you raid mythic for alliance/ do m+ keys.
atleast one thing about alliance was that it was less geared players from mythic raiding. now we gotta compete with better geared players from horde as alliance in m+ oh well raid or go home.
Can you name one reason why itâs a bad change?
