Oh Christ.
Well at least now I can grind a bunch of heroics, get full heirloom items, send em to some low level and turn the guy Alliance.
Might actually make me wanna try leveling one since it'll be
easy
easier.
Oh and send him mula.
Maybe now the Horde:Alliance ratio will even out in realms now that people can have a taste of both, without starting from a level 1 with nothing?

No, in fact I think it will create a very huge imbalance in realm ratio... people will switch to whichever side is the strongest.

This is going to mess things up in so many ways.
How?
I see a lot of QQ and no valid arguments against it.
By the by, there's a sticky on this already. No one has offered much except unsupported crying about the change there either...
As a valid argument
for
it: I have a co-worker who rolled Horde on another server to play with a friend. He didn't know that several of his co-workers (me included) played Alliance on a different server. His friend has since quit the game, and the guild disbanded.
Because of time constraints, he hasn't been able to get a character leveled to 80 on our server, but since his Horde guild broke up he would like to be able to play with us. This way, if he's willing to drop a certain amount of money, he can still enjoy the game with friends while Blizzard retains a customer.

This could work well if blizz made it so you can only switch if your faction outnumbers the enemy.
Agreed, and I think it's the only way it will work and not ruin the game. Otherwise people will do what Wildhorn said, switch to side that's doing better on that specific server.
Also, in my opinion I think horde is the more popular faction and will become overpopulated unless Blizzard does something to control it-----> Nerdrage's idea.

I'd seen it mentioned elsewhere, but I think this could be a good thing. Especially if Blizzard offers free transfers to people same-server from high-faction population to the lower-pop faction (*coughcough wtb more horde on stormrage cough*
Also if you can re-transfer, it'd make people with disposable money able to go get achievments, rare patterns, etc easier.

To all you people who QQ that They don't like their faction they need to reroll. Explain your reasons behind this.
"My friends are all on my server playing alliance and I didn't know. now I have a Epic 80 horde and want to play."
"Reroll"
" I don't wanna."
"QQ more"
WHY?
I like the Idea or like High pop servers being free transfers how about free side changes if say the Alliance is lower 3:1.

Let me get this right, you have Horde characters in a PvP server, you can change 1 of your characters to be alliance and still be in the same PvP server as your horde characters?
They mentioned that this is a complex issue, and this is probably one of them.
I would guess that you would not be able to change faction of a character on a PvP server because that would break the rules for that server.
For PvE the restriction doesn't exist, so it wouldn't be a concern.

My wishful thinking on such a scenario would have been a long, drawn out quest chain allowing an individual character to, essentially, betray their faction and join the other.
Would have included the systematic recession of the character's original faction reputations, the arduous task of gaining reputation with the new faction, with a considerable amount of played time spent at war and open to PvP with both factions at once, no matter what type of server you had chosen.
Alas, this
service
will no doubt be an instant, no strings
PAID
service. How boring will that be...
