I’ve been playing WoW since Cataclysm and I’ve always been Horde and I love The Horde and I hate The Alliance but what I absolutely hate more is being forced to help The Alliance. I love 90% of Shadowlands but it feels like Blizzard or Activision are trying to destroy WoW. If Blizzard removes factions then I’ll probably quit WoW after 11 years. This scares the hell out of me as I’m a Guild Master.

So you hate TBC, Wotlk, Cataclysm, Pandaria at the end, WoD, Legion and Shadowlands?
So removing a concept that is outdated as F and cant be fixed at this point anymore in terms of Balance (the majority is horde, and they will stay here. There is no benefit of going alliance aside from a bit more Anima and some low ilvl item from a weekly). And buffing alliance to the point of being broken will just cause the cycle to repeat as it always has.
What does that have to do with you being a guild master? Ah right. Nothing. You could forbid Alliance toons to join you. Otherwise you get more potential trials etc pp.
And the faction war makes no sense since the end of Vanilla. Infact even since WCIII it makes no sense.

You are absolute scum!!! The Horde is scum!!! For the Alliance baby!!! In all seriousness I love your passion for the Horde, I share it for the Alliance.

For the Alliance!!!

Prepare to leave then as it has become more and more the talk of the Devs and is most likely going to happen either during this xpac or the next. Factions are beyond repair at this point.

Don’t worry, dude. It’s NEVER going to happend!
The factions are WoW’s DNA, they can shout all they want but there are many MMOs out there with crossfaction(ESO, GW2, FFXIV) and yet WoW is the biggest one and the only one with no crossfaction
that argument makes no sense, good try nonetheless, also why is it always horde agaisnt cross faction ? i wonder

It should not because factions wont be removed, people requesting alliance+horde to be able to play together in an instance which means YOU CAN RECRUIT ALLIANCE PLAYERS and have a bigger pool of players in your guild.

I mean of a system like ESO has, all players regardless faction can join a guild raid and do dungeons with but in PVP areas they are enemies. Thats it.
Its probably the one and only function ESO has to offer and WoW to be jealous of!

Yep xD
At least in ESO, if guildies spot you they probably run behind you for like 30 mins or so 
Shadowlands isn’t the only time when Alliance Held Horde hands. It happens every two expansions or so.
I doubt they would remove the Faction barrier. It’s just one of those “friendly” expansions but next expansion the faction war will return.
I swear almost everyone in the forums was complaining about the faction conflict in BFA. Anyway there are much more worse problems in Shadowlands. Faction friendship is just something we’ve seen in the past

Author ofc. from horde…
For me fine, remove alliance then, join races horde. I just want bigger players base.
I don’t care something silly like faction in games, horde have just awful cities and only 2 playable races.

Playing the alliance-lite race on the horde side and then beating your chest saying that you hate alliance and don’t want the factions removed. That is kind of comical in it’s own way.

Despite all the mess caused by poorly-executed faction narrative and the fact it continuously makes the story worse, it may actually happen that the factions will stay.
Along with many arbitrary barriers.
And the game will suffer for it.
Not to mention that they missed the best time to remove the factions - Legion. I don’t think anyone can change my mind, but they should’ve ended WoW after Argus, keep it in life support for a while, and make WoW 2, with a better narrative and not-so-stiff faction system, instead of prolonging the agony.

You’re not ‘helping the alliance’. You’re ‘saving Azeroth’ and it just so happens ‘the other guys’ also have that on the agenda.
Whatever gave you the idea they’ll do that?
They actually said the Horde and Alliance will always be there. They are part of what makes WoW Warcraft. BUT… That doesn’t mean the players behind the factions can’t cooperate more. There’s a big difference there. One is 2 fictional groups while the other are real people. Don’t hate real people.
Anyway; your fears are unwarranted. No factions are being removed.
Just maybe accessibility/playability is being addressed some time in the future. But the Horde as well as the Alliance will still be there.
