that will never happend as it would cause more people lo leave the game than it would make people join and Blizard knows it that why a decision like that thankfully will never happen

I would bet you that the removal of faction barrier would do the complete opposite. If anything it would take less than a week before people even forgot that the barrier existed.
Almost every other game that have implemented a faction barrier have dropped it after seeing the harm it ends up doing to their communities.
ORCS, MANY ORCS
Killing faction barrier only for raiding and M+, which is like 5% of playerbase won’t kill the game and most of people would simply not giving a crap aboot.
Well everyone is right to their own opinion even though you are wrong… Its roots are in pvp and the horde sure dont want to be forced to be friendly with alliance as earlier expansions have show just how mutch hate its been given when having to be stuck with the opposite faction. Personly i have not seen any game that benefits from droping the barrier and i know it would just cause harm to wow
You got it the other way around its about 5% that would be happy about it and the rest would be annoyed as hell and before you know it due to the drop in players the raid finder would be atleast twice aslong in wait time than it is today no matter what faction or role you base it on
doing the callings were you need a group and go around killing stuff shows you just how much more horde there are, every single group you join no matter what server except maybe silvermoon horde are all over the place

Don’t know, I will always play Alliance. Happy to be one of the good guys because I believe in God in real life too. Why would I even play something that is evil.

Thrall, Baine, Saurfang and more says hi.
No they dont its just you who said hi
You say while playing a tauren… The race that cosies up with the Alliance the most.
i think the only way so save faction balance is to redesign them
and best way is to go for a plain evil faction and 1 good faction and have both faction access to all races and and racials ( which would case another redesign of the old world )
so i say no more horde or allience but a void and light faction ( its world of WARcraft and not world of AllienceandHordecraft ) so think we should let go of the faction pride and and put on 2 factions with both access to both benefits and perks just there cosmetics and story is different

No they dont clearly you know nothing
that will never happen as it would cause most of the players to leave having to be forced to work with the alliance and Blizzard already know they would only lose on it and gain nothing
Removal of faction barrier would
pros.
- Give players more agency over their characters
- Reduces the punishment for picking the “wrong” race to just racials.
- Put players more in line to how NPC’s gets to interact with the world.
- Give the writers more creative liberty over what happened with the factions.
cons.
- Hurt the pride of narcissistic tribalist.
- Limit an advertising element.
Not much of a loss.

i agree that it most likely never happens tough how you mean being forced to work with the alliance? i mean there wont be a alliance or horde then just a lawful good righteous unity faction and a chaotic dark faction ( like a twilight hammer )
and what you mean with lose and gain noting?
as far as i get to see it only thing they lose temporarily is the current faction pride but that is easy to rebuilt for the new faction your moral compass aims to
as for gain i see much more possibilities and combinations to play
a more balanced pvp environment as neither side having special benefits
and both sides gain to more access of customization as for example because the " good " horde and " good " alliance merge means the " good" belfs will be reunited with there silver covenant brethren and since they already have access to blue eyes will bring sorta the high elf paladin fantasy for some people to live
and for " bad " worgens ( that technically are forced to be good boys now speaking of forced ) can now also choose to join the dark twilight hammer-y faction and become savage rapid werewolf’s if they like
i see this gives more chooses rather then restrict and force players
i mean why cant the 2 main factions do what so many other factions ( in most cases evil factions) do and reunite all races
only thing that is in the way is the current faction pride ( its like 2 rivaling soccer teams fuse and the fans are first upset about it but give it a bit and then they cheer just as hard again for the new faction )

no it wouldnt reduce the punishment it would increase the punishment by being forced to be stuck with alliance players and its not like a racial is a game changer so dont even bother with crying about that patetich excuse. How would the npc benefit it? if anything it bust look weird if let say humans start showing up in oggrimmar or ocs in stormwind. No the writing would just look weird and messed up without a faction barrier. So in short pros: give the minimal amount of crying alliance players who dont know what a faction based pvp game is about what they want. Cons: let the majority of the player base that bought the game for what its intended for suffer by having the gam ruined
consideringthe past between the factions there is no reason to why they would want to put asidethe diffrences and break the fction barrier. Cosmetic i dont really see what you mean as there is likley nothing the horde would want from alliance cosmetic and when it comes to this nonsense again with blood elfs im the first to admit i couldnt care less if the alliance took them as they dont belong with the horde either way but since i dont have the patiens to start all that over again just put it short blood elves are not high elves and high elves will likley never be playable in game so just suck it up already and be happy with the elf races you already have
Universally ended up with the losing side dying out, as seen with most server populations.
Most who joined this game was because it was the mmo to play or because it was the successor for WC3, not because of the entire faction concept.
It would look significantly less messed up than with the barrier, because then the world could naturally evolve without needing a red and blue flag standing strangely close to each other all the time.
Remember, every player could help either the draenei or blood elves in TBC.
Every player helped the Night Elves of Mt’Hylja, Val’Shara and Azsuna.
Every player helped the Highmountain Tauren, Nightborne and Lightforged.
Every player helped the mechagnomes.
And every player have joined plenty of NPC “Guilds” consisting of any race imaginable without caring about any faction trite.
It is the faction barrier that causes the game to be messed up, because it’s a rule that exists for no other reason than “Because” while simultaneously contradicting itself in every conceivable way.

Because “considering the past between the faction’s” it would make sense to break the faction barrier.
in the past we help each other more then be at each other thought just like Livía mentioned and that even gos all the way back to warcraft 3 with jeana helping thrall and rexxar
and dont forget there allot of lore heavy char that are at high positions that have already horde or alliance friends.
take Etrigg for example ( a less known saurfang but similar sorta story and was in good stand with the late Tirion fordring the later which even got for a wile his rank stripped and had to live in exile for standing up for the orc.
or Voljin and the human hunter Tyrathan Khort
or Anduin whos best friend is Baine.
and there many more
and i belief the tensions in cataclysm just rose mostly duo trickery and or mistake
as for example in stonetalen garosh was very against the bombing of innocents druids ( mostly night elfs at the tree school) and “dismissed” the commander behind it and the twilight hammer knew about garosh hotheadedness and staged a attack in ashenvale which garosh got the blame for and even let to the mag’ora from Cairn Bloodhoof and the paranoia that led afterwards which i belief really triggered garosh to go tru with the bombing of Theramore.
i belief if these events didnt happened peace would probably be close even with garosh hotheadedness but because he was left unsupervised and be victim of all these accusations against him it was no wonder he snapped.
i think it would only be for the best if the faction barrier get broken and let 2 new factions arise
and those who want to be edgy can join the evil faction so no charm of the brutality you crave will be lost then
