Ghostcrawler hints @ a major new & unannounced MoP feature ?

[Chimera]

Personally, I wish we could actually speak to the opposing faction. From what I understand there are some MMOs that opposed factions don't have the artificial language barrier we do. Enemies can talk to each other. It just makes more sense that way. Sure it would add some griefing but some understanding as well. As several people have said, the language barrier really doesn't make sense. Why can I talk to a night elf quest giver, but not a night elf? How do the Earthen Ring and Cenarion Circle get anything done if they can't talk to each other? Oh wait...they can. How do alliance pandas suddenly forget the language they've been speaking their whole lives, rendering them unable to talk to my horde panda?

Erm, i quoted just a handful posts ago, on this same page, a blizz employee who answered someones inquiry to why pandas suddenly lose the ability to speak to both ally and horde. Though it revolves around the singular topic of pandaren, the response would most likely be no different if the topic went to the general topic of cross-faction communication Their reasoning is they dont want to ruin players game experience.

If you google cross-faction communications and check out the threads posted, the general player base that has actively posted and voted in those threads run on pretty much a 8/10 on not desiring cross-faction communications to be lifted. Blizz would probably lose a lot of their base if the active voters in those threads was just a small tip of the overall player base in dis-favor of the idea.

Not trying to bash, sorry that its kinda hammering the subject, but its a reoccurring topic that probably will never have an end but blizz has no intentions to lift the barrier and i've read in one ticket i found on a forum that sneaking around the barrier to talk in understandable words to the opposite faction will and have actions taken against their account for breaking the rule of no cross communicating.

Ghostcrawler stated he'd like to have some sort of 'level down' system where high level characters could level down and have their gear scaled so that they could run old content or even group with lowbie friends.

I SO hope this never happens. Least, there needs to be an option for it. I really do not like level scaling forced upon us.

Surely it will be optional if implemented. But I agree, part of the fun of leveling up is going back and wiping the floor with mobs that used to be a lot of trouble

People do that all time though. You can yell or say certain words that are gibberish to us, but come out different to them.

MORE STABLE SPACE!!!!!

Ok, now that is out of my system.

I dought they are droping thier (rolls eyes) WONDERFUL cross relm server system, dont think it will be anything to do with new char models.
But, some neat things (if he actualy ment it as something WAS coming, it might have been a play or term of words not actually literal meaning) but since they do have the CRS they might be doing CRGuilds, CR new raid shareing, or something along those lines.

I think maybe a mobel AH that BS/Engin's could make (like the Jeeves and the anvil) would be VERY intresting. More tameables (have the same method as the new one with getting a scroll to learn to tame the direhorns) would be kind of fun, maybe more custom options?..like a pet barber shop option would be really intresting and give them a fun way to try out some of thier unused colors/models....hey...let me dream here on this one!

But those are my thoughts/opinions *shrugs* I do like alot of the others ideas...oh and VIVA LA ZEP TOWER!!!!!! (thats what I'd tame for a building...)

What if the cross faction thing was limited only to Real ID grouping? There wouldn't be any griefing issues, as people in group are already friends and all.

As for the whole level down system? I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be forced. You'd probly be able to toggle it like challenge modes or visit an NPC that would do it for you similarly to how level locking a character works currently.

They do, theres sites everywhere i found that tell you how you can make pre-made phrases, comments, sentences they made themselves and guides to how to do it yourself. The problem can only be handled if someone reports the person doing it so if everyone ignores the barrier-breaker, they get away with it :/

Yeah, the most common one is "D a p Ee bb" which to them is "You lose" after a BG match. Haven't see it much sense WG though.

Uh...ok....those were just rhetorical questions....*shrug* I may not have noticed your post, which I guess was the final word on things...... I'm not the only one who posted about this, I was just late to the party and wanted to throw my 2 cents in.
