Frontlines srs bsns no fun aloud ; ;. (No thanks.) (I'm not up for it.)

It be better if it depends on your fc's Main grand company atleast or a free change just for this.

You are killing the pvp.

- People switch companies to play with friends.
- Players want use his pvp gear but theirs new ranks are low. Then, they have to play again and grind 20-30 ranks.
- After 2-4 months doing pvp, you are forced to do wintrade to reach your rank in another company (or farm again that rank, that it's insane). Other option is each 2 weeks, change your alliance and switch frontlines with friends(same GC) and wolves' den(different GC)
- How people is doing wintrade, wolves' den is death because again, queue takes long times.

Prior to 2.3, GC choice was mostly vanity.

Morale will be disabled and I've heard that they will be ilevel capping Frontlines. PvP Rank is only going to influence the quality of a players PvP skills and traits.

The PvPXP and Wolf Mark rewards for Frontline matches are unknown and potentially greater than those given out by Wolf's Den. Gaining PvPRanks through Frontlines may be much faster than gaining said ranks through Wolf's Den.

While I understand the desire to reduce toxic interaction, would it be possible to get some kind of cross-group chatter enabled for the Battlegrounds? Even if it's a channel that by default has to be manually opted in/turned on to be used, it'd be nice to be able to have those interactions with opponents.

You speak like this is a multiplayer game where play interaction is important. Silly you.

You can play wolves' den and frontlines, but if you change your alliegance to a GC, you lose the opportunity to use your earned gear with other GC inside wolves' den. So you have to farm again ranks to earn again the chance to use your pvp gear in wolves' den

wolves' den: 30 mins queue time - 20xp - 100xp : 1-5 mins played
Frontlines: 5 mins queue time - ?? xp : 30 mins played

i hope the bonus will be around 100xp(lose) - 500xp(win) or more.

Some people are in FCs that share a different affiliation than their personal GC choice. So people are going to feel inclined to leave their FC and seek one that matches their Grand Company. Do you want them to scrap the GC thing altogether and just make it 3 random teams of 24? That would screw the Lore behind Frontlines up completely. I've never played WoW's PvP but can you party up with an Alliance party leader and fight on the Alliance when you're Horde?
