The next World of Warcraft expansion will pretty much for all intents and purposes dissolve the factions. It'll immediately balance the factions and stop the story from having to force some Horde-Alliance bullshit and just tell a story. BFA is a faction war expansion since this is their last chance to tell it. Factions will only matter for warmode and BGs next expansion. Otherwise you'll be able to talk with, group with, guild with, trade with, raid with and what not with the other faction.
>Alex Afrasiabi: We feel the Alliance-Horde divide is foundational and fundamental to World of Warcraft as a franchise and as a story, but we danced around it for a very long time. We've had run-ins, we've had close calls, but we've never been able to finish it—to have that resolution. We're coming out of this expansion, Legion, and the world is not in a great place—the players and the factions themselves are not in a great place because there is all of this old animosity that hasn't been resolved. It's time to resolve it. pcgamer.com/blizzard-answers-some-of-our-biggest-questions-about-world-of-warcraft-battle-for-azeroth/
That'd just make the outdated content even more bizarre

>Dark Iron leveling in Loch Modan, Searing Gorge and Burning Steppes >Nightborne have to wear illusions in order to look like Nightborne in order to walk through Suramar >Mag'har forced to level through Draenor >Kul Tirans and Zandalari are called outsiders in their own cities >Void elves Like Blizzard cares

Alright more importantly does this mean I can hardcore erp with orc men on my pure night elf priest

They'll just give blood elves the blue eyed option after factions are dissolved and lore-wise ren'dorei and quel'dorei are welcomed back to Silvermoon.
The only reason they're bullying Baine is to unite the factions.
>Baine gets imprisoned. >Anduin sends the Alliance on a mission to free him. >He sees honor within the Alliance and thanks his best friend Anduin. >He returns to Orgrimmar and challenges Sylvanas to Mok'gora. >After he turns the crowds on her, she steps down as warchief, claiming she's done what she's sought to accomplish, whatever that is. >She takes her loyal forsaken to Northrend or the Dragon Isles. >Baine asks Saurfang to take the mantle of Warchief, but Saurfang is too old. >Baine is left in charge of the Horde and dismantles the faction in negotiations with the Alliances, forging a new era of peace just in time for 8.3 or 9.0 threat.

Nice, see you green boys in the public restroom then.
when the titanic has sunk halfway to the bottom of the ocean and you are running out of options to keep it afloat you are going to have to try something pretty drastic.
Anyone who thinks the next wow expansion wont be some crazy high risk idea is deluding themselves.
Owen Hill
The flagship new races of the expansion will be High Elves and Ogres to try to cash in on the RTS nostalgia even more
Liam Bennett
What do you think those high risk ideas will be?
Isaiah Johnson
They'll just do WoW 2.0
Austin Perez
Nigger High Elves became Blood Elves in wc3.
Andrew Hughes
Great, factions suck since Vanilla anyway. >DUDE LETS MAKE SOME FACTIONS AGAIN EVEN THOUGH WC3 ENDED IT. >OH AND LETS PUT THE NIGHT ELVES INTO THE NU ALLIANCE BECAUSE MY HUMAN NEEDS TO FUCK AN ELF.

Diablo 4 is going is to be WoW's successors. They'll keep WoW afloat so the addicted like asmongold will keep forking over 15 bucks a month
Sebastian Phillips
As much as I've enjoyed the mediocre world pvp and bgs the faction war is full on retarded. They should of went with their original idea and have no factions to begin with.
starting with mobile phone dailies that will continue to expand into more and more gameplay onto mobile phones over the life of the expansion testing how far they can go with it and then going way past that point and refusing to listen to anybody who says its a bad idea.
I have zero doubt the next expansion will be all about getting customers onto mobile gaming and wow is the perfect way to drag all those addicts into it.
Levi Gray
Surely "Don't you fucking idiots have phones?" got them to cool down with trying to expand that to current games?

>Azshara and her tentacle husbando actually win at the end of BFA and all civilization and its factions crumble >The Black Empire expansion I'm not playing this PoS anymore but that would be pretty neat.
