The spirit of the rules are pretty clear on Nostalrius:

Nostalrius Begins recognizes all valid play styles to be part of the game

Because "valid play styles" means the exact same thing to everyone...

Valid = when players dont hack, bot, multibox or safespot. I mean its all written in the rules.

On retail, WPvP got progressively worse (ignoring flying) when:

1. They allowed both faction toons on a single account on a PvP server

2. They pushed battle.net communication allowing very easy cross-faction communication with friends.

3. They implemented group finder for players to phase over to different realms.

The first two things resulted in the watering down of faction pride, and enabled activity to support your cross-faction friends at the expense of your faction. When you do things to kill faction pride, it erodes the fun of WPvP.

I am actually surprised at the stance taken by management on this. It is very un-Vanilla (due to practical limitations at the time) and does detract from the spirit of the game.

They really should reconsider this.

Don't blame the players because vanilla wow has the design choice of restricting players to factions, without naturally giving them the opportunity to communicate and form guilds across these factions. The game really ends up one dimensional as a result.


P.S. All contested zones would be better off with free for all tags, I'm sure Niko would approve to farm some China

The irony of this thread is that with the mafia/cartel in place more people have a chance at getting tags. Before this you would have the top taggers camping the place getting 100+ leathers daily for themselves.

+1 would read again.

I am surprised to see someone suggest loosening up faction ties is the better approach. The majority of WPvPers over the years have regretted Blizzard's subsequent choices. Cross-faction co-operation is just garbage and should not be supported by a so-called Vanilla Blizz-like server.
