The new Feature is a political system

[tripleabd]

We went to Pandaria, found a new "everything". Garrosh goes mad! War unleashes. Titans secret unravel. New Order is needed. Burning legion invasion.

What might be coming?

1. After the siege and the fight with Garrosh both factions the horde and alliance will come under 1 banner and be united.
2. Political System is introduces. A system where the players vote to appoint leaders in a council where each leader has a benefit.

Blizzard hinted about a new feature at the "End" of the expansion. It is like LFG/LFR/Transmog/Reforge which is something that changes your game play rather than a random tool that u use for "fun"; therefore, a political system where players determine who their leaders are for a certain duration of time might have the same impact on your game play.

Here is how it might:
Leader X is Sylvanes, she raises the dead to increase her army.
Leader Y is Bain, his people are known to be great hunters and gatherers.
Leader Z is Galywax, he is a trade prince so he can get his hands on items.

Leader X gives you benefits X that help players level and quest faster.
Leader Y gives you benefits Y that help players gather and find resources faster and more.
Leader Z gives you benefits Z that help players get access to special items like flasks/pot/food merchants (rather than waiting for players to post items in AH or crafting them).

Tl;DR
next feature is a political system where players determine who is their leader for a period of time.

From the example you gave in your system I believe X would never be leader.

Dude its obviously going to be Lor Themar as warcheif. His story will coincide with the dalaran shit going down, he will calm the whole situation down between the alliance and horde after we kill Garrosh in the last patch of MoP then there will be a third faction and we all get the choice the change to it. The base of operation will be lordaeron; Silvermoon, Undercity and that big one near the water below old dalaran.
Then we fight burning legion and dance around like fairy princesses till wow dies.

But 5.2 will be dance studio or elite 4 for pokemon battles.

Ehm ... it's an interesting idea, but what about the Alliance? Their politics are pretty stable.

is is just an example and there can be a lot of possibilities.

that is where the council comes in. just to make everything stable you have both the horde and alliance together in one council and then have the council divide the leaders to different regions all over Azeroth and that is where the leaders benefits will come in for the players.

From the front page of Mmo-Champion:

The unannounced feature will be in the last patch of the expansion and give players a lot of new content to play with.

How is this Political System giving us a lot of new content to play with?

This would only hurt them. Nobody can take this game seriously when random retards like Gamon get elected leader.
It will happen because there are a lot of trolls out there that would get joy from this. For the rest it would be really annoying though. Say goodbye to RP servers.

Sounds nice but won't happen I think. It will rather be a "dota"-style feature, i.e. a BG oder a scenario type.

think about having different leaders for different regions. first thing that pops up right from the top of my head is more open world pvp where you have the players who favor 1 leader to another leader will have an open world pvp showdown. another thing is daily quests in favor of a regional leader who asks for support from his people in return rewarding them with the X Y Z benefits i posted in the OP. there is still a lot of content ideas that can be easily thought of if blizz brainstorms.

in the end the whole purpose of MoP was the war theme going on between the horde and the alliance but with this system after all the war that went on in all continents there will be a "controlled" or "no more fighting for nothing" regional campaigns and skirmish that puts a purpose in the war of the world of warcraft. After all, one lesson that we learn from pandaria is that the panderean fight for their lands and property and this is one of them.

I don't see either side as a democracy personally. :P Although an interesting idea for sure!

[Scottyjscizzle]

It'll be pgc or random world stuff.

you seem to have missed up on the story in pandaria. First of the alliance with Anduin and his adventures in the continent and how he was fighting to stop the fight that is going on between the alliance and the horde and how his father finally learned a valued lesson from his son after the scenario in karags wilds. Second is the lot of hints on how the blood elves leader will have a saying in the final battle of MoP. looking through his lore and history and u will see that both characters are capable of being great with democracy so thats another hint.

Very interesting idea, but probably a bit too iconoclastic for Blizzard. Fun what if to daydream about though!

[Galbrei]

This thread was right under the other thread for speculation on the new feature, why couldn't you just post it there?

Also, who the hell are Sylvanes, Bain and Galywax?

[Deleted]

you should really change the thread title and post itself. It's only a wild speculation, and you write it like it's certain.

[Deleted]

It really has no chance of being anything remotely like this.

Chilton already said it has something to do with scaling older content.

Woah, did he? Do you have the source because that's actually pretty cool!

[Otimus]

Blizzard would never do anything that relatively clever/creative.

[Deleted]

No. No it isn't.
