Skoll Shorties

One thing I have noticed is the lack of Horde and Alliance in Shadowlands as a whole. Obviously, it makes sense but already it's starting to show for some people. It was the same in Legion (at least for me), then in BfA people wanted Factions gone. Now we're back to square one.

Lack of Horde and Alliance... It's beautiful. Perfection.

Not for everyone. And specifically not for me either. Definitely should be a middle ground so that both sides get what they want rather than just the one. As stated they did it well in previous expansions like MoP and WotLK where they were around just not in your face.

MoP was literally the Horde destroying an Alliance city and then the Alliance and Horde dissidents having to violently oust the rightful Horde leadership. That's pretty 'in your face.'

The 'we're at war' and then 'we're at peace to fight the big bag' and 'we're back at war now' is straining the suspension of disbelief. Khadgar says it himself: "But I will not take up arms against heroes on either side. Not after all we've been through." I want say that too.

I'm not saying eliminate the factions, but the faction conflict as a major story beat needs to end. Shadowlands has shown us that there's a big multiverse out there of places for us to explore and conflicts to solve. We don't need it anymore.
