Oh so it is, I could’ve sworn it used to be 2.
Bit more time to work with I guess, but all things considered you’re still pushed towards making a new char to fill x role in rp is what i mean to say.
It’s something that could be made easier for sure by allowing more in terms of accessability.
I have several accounts, I’ve had to NPC many times. Don’t worry, I know what you mean.
Still hoping that prisms will get their duration changed, or a toy comes out that can extend it.
Just want to dive in and say this is absolutely possible within the game, there are two things off the top of my head that show this:
Go to Revendreth and use a pony, you are immediately neutral to all mobs and cannot attack things.
Lucille’s Hankie toy, sends you to a no-mob version of the wee church in Drustvar in line with your astral projection idea.
It can be done, please just do it! I think so many more people would come to lonely Drusvar if Corlain was repopulated with NPCs and be a nice spot to wander. I love the idea and I hope it happens.
You walked past out event yesterday in Drustvar!
I noticed you all! I was just wandering as I queued for BGs. I whispered someone in the event to apologise for wandering through. I hope you all had a wonderful time and didn’t hurt the bees! 
Glad to see people using the bfa zones for rp a bunch now. They got some really really nice places… wish they’d give flying to people to get to a bunch of the cool vistas easier though.
Aye, if we had universal flying it would be easier to get Horde-y pals up on the hill near Arom’s Stand to see the “Night Lights” 
I can understand that it may not be a thing to keep new players from using it as they’re locked to bfa content for the first playthrough but then there’s no reason not to give it to everyone once you hit 50 cause you move on to SL anyway.
It would be SO much more enjoyable if it wasn’t such a extremely annoying chore to keep that buff going on top of needing to be a specific class to even get it to work properly.
Please, please add this!
The goal should be moving towards just making things fun because that will cause players to interact with something a lot more rather than creating a gameplay loop around it just to keep them engaged.
I don’t think it should be necessary to restrict roleplay related tools or items behind timers or grinds, especially on servers meant for rp.
Do correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t there also items that can drop from Pandaria rares that can temporarily change the weather?
I think they are extremely rare and only have a few charges though.
I am not sure if thats a local effect or zone wide, nor how long they last but given how rarely the weather kicks in and the fact a good few zones dont even seem to have weather changes that would be something neat if that was also made available to players some more.
Would be another thing to add immersion to certain events and the like.
Having tried the weather function on private servers briefly, every zone seems to support weather and skybox functionality, so you could even make it snow in tanaris or apply the arcane effect around suramar elsewhere.
Seen them before, those weather changing items like the rain stone do exist but as said they are pretty rare.
Also another case of an item having a far longer cooldown then uptime so it’s not ideal either unless 6 or more people have it and swap it out every 10 minutes.
To much work for to little payoff I feel.
I updated the original post with the feedback and ideas posted so far and will keep adding more as they are added.
Thanks for the support and keeping the thread alive! <3
The list of things that could be done is long, I’d be happy if even one of those things made it.
Sorry to say, but, PvP with its tournaments cant even have a designated balancing team.
Good luck getting anything for RPers.
That’s the good and bad bit at once.
It’s a big mmo, you can do a buncha stuff but if you like one particular aspect of it you’re bound to probably run into issues with there being a lack of replayable (and enjoyable) or fresh content, or some problems with it that take extremely long to fix cause the work is so spread out.
I reckon both pvp and pve would have more and better balanced gameplay/content if there wasn’t so much time spent on designing systems to keep you playing.
Instead if the gameplay itself was simply fun and enjoyable, people would be more likely to keep playing cause they want to and not cause they feel they have to.
Quoting what has already been said, ‘everyone wants the game to be the best it can be’, regardless of what part you enjoy most.
The more fun stuff we get if rp, pvp or pve, the better.
It should be quick enough to change 1-2 things so it could even in theory make it into 9.1.5 honestly. The duration changes and such anyway.
^ This.
Hopes are high (even if may be copium) for something rp-wise to be implemented.
Best to keep the list short and precise of what people seem to want in terms of priority because there’s no reason to drown someone in suggestions when time and ressources are limited I reckon.
Do feel free to post any ideas or feedback though and ill add them accordingly.
Again, hopefully someone sees this and we can get a reply on if any of it is being considered.
