But what if we could quest everywhere?
Removing the faction barrier means that a lot more content suddenly becomes available for everyone. Sure some of it will be weird as hell. A Worgen questing for the Forsaken just sounds retarded. One option would be to have an intervening expansion where we are actually brought to the brink of extinction. My expansion idea for after Legion was to spend an entire expansion travelling back from Argus and only in the last xpac to arrive to Azeroth to find that the Black Empire WON and the few remaining people had joined, regardless of past hatred simply so as to survive.
The portals rooms in 8.1.5 are killing that idea. It just seems certain that Blizzard is committed to Stormwind and Orgrimmar and nothing will change from that.
