Bro IDK what to tell you. From the day WOW was released I thought the the hard separation of factions was a mistake. You couldn't even talk to the other faction in game for like 15 fucking years. Let people guild and group with whoever they want to. Sure, make it so they can't go into faction cities for lore reasons. Who cares.
That is one thing I am happy to have removed. It's dumb and divides the player base for no reason. You still have your PVP avenues if that's your thing.

Yarp, EQ got it right here, in that world PvP should have been FFA from the start and factions should be a lore NPC thing instead of a hard divide in the community.
In vanilla, I wanted to play a Troll, but the two girls that were coming over from EQ refused to play if we were horde, so I had to reroll after 4 hours of progress. Which was rather annoying, since WalMart broke the release date and put the pallet of games out in the isle at around 9pm the night before.

It would make camping nodes more fun (black lotus) lol.
Camping quest mobs would be more fun.
Dispelling world buffs would be out of control lol.

Archeage had the best open world pvp of any MMO I've played (EVE too, just talking about 3rd person games here though). Purpling against your own faction, the trial system, GvGs, faction vs faction, a 3rd pirate faction hostile to everyone and etc. was great, and the game was built around pvp. I have no desire to play on a pvp server in WoW because the game isn't really built around it and there's no risk vs. reward, just people wasting each others time (which for most of us is more limited now that we're older).

If you read the Dev Diary the dude claims that the primary driver in the faction decision was DAOC. Just as many of the team were hopeless DAOC nerds as much as they were EQ nerds.
The Goblin Neutral faction was because they had already put it together but were afraid of population splitting too much. While it was a good decision for marketing and aesthetic.
