I'm just here to watch as Blizz gives the community what they want and then you people find something to %^&*! about anyway.
I am not represented on the headline art. Waaaaaaaa
Thank god, such a pain in the ass recruiting players on a dead server because why go to server X when you can just stay on Illidan where there's like 100 guilds at the same prog.
Cross-realm guilds and mythic raiding is kind of a really fricking big deal. It utterly upends the social dynamics of raiding guilds on small servers.It isn't only a matter of "we can now recruit from everywhere and finally get enough solid players to start pushing higher mythic bosses" but also "why are those solid players going to join our guild when other options with a record of actual Cutting Edge achievements are recruiting too?" I don't know how this will shake out, but I fear we'll see plenty of guilds with very long history collapsing entirely.Probably helpful for the health of the game in the long run, but the shake-up is going to hurt.
Very nice, now remove the mythic lockout too.
Excellent, now add the capability to queue LFG any content (timewalking, dungeons, raid) and whisper/trade chat with the opposite faction.
Honestly, as a Roleplay guild leader, the main thing I want them to do with Cross-Faction Guilds, is to let other faction players understand emotes in /e, like they can comprehend /s, without having to drink a potion if they are in my guild or raid.That fix would fix most of my problems. I do hope they elaborate on what they actually mean to add.
Moon Guard and Wyrmrest Accord RP is going to feast thanks to this.
Cross realm guilds will end the last hurdle from cross-realm trading too. A guild bank accessible to all alts on any realm means that even non-stackable items will be easily transferred between realms, without the extra step of needing a second account. The gold will be easily accessible too.Maybe they should just make the entire AH region-wide at this point.
I hope Cataclysm Classic will stay as it is tho, faction-specific content with faction-locked guilds in a same realm. You can hop in there when you are looking for more original type of WoW, then play retail most of the time.
I hope in the same stroke they allow for cross realm work orders. Unless they for some reason want to throw crafting into the void again.
