What do you think the main problem with MoP is?

Flagging could "arena-flag" them.
Which would be a pain: would they be able to be healed by other Pandaren? Would they be able to party with non-Pandaren of both factions? Would they get ganked by guards of both factions? Would they gank levelling NPCs of both factions?
I think the reason they initially said that they wouldn't include a neutral NPC was silhouette, but that idea has kinda fallen to the wayside with transmog.

In an arena, if you aren't part of a team, it's a free for all battle: Everyone kills everyone else.

Would they gank levelling NPCs of both factions? Adams covered what I meant by "arena-flagging." Anyone who's not on your "team" can attack you. (Although I think I'd disallow party members from attacking the flagged individual, as well.)
Grouping, guards...not sure how I'd handle that. (So sue me; most of the thought I'd put into this wasn't necessarily in regards to WoW.)

(Now, if only they'd let us hide shoulder armor.)

I was wondering about arena flagging in world combat though: you could technically be grouped with someone and kill their faction NPCs.
I actually would love a neutral race, but I don't think it would work with the current PvP system. Perhaps if it were overhauled so that NPCs and grey players were unattackable it'd make more sense. I'd also like city guards to be slightly less aggressive. When attacking a city getting dazed off a mount is a death sentence, but on big pop servers they opposite faction could occupy home cities... Perhaps players could get assigned a single guard that respawns after two minutes, then one if killed again, then thirty seconds, then two guards per player after thirty seconds or something.

We tried "challenge" and accounts precipitously declined. Too bad for you.
I didn't know what part of the post to quote and I didn't mean to come across the wrong way, but that's the mindset for the majority of the players of the game*. Rarity and effort drive people to achieve goals. Not recognising the amount of time (even if it is literally just staying awake at the keyboard) to achieve certain goals in the game isn't really fair.
* My guild has only gotten down 3 bosses in normal mode Firelands so far this expansion. I support the striation of raiding: people predicted Kara would kill raiding due to it being too casual, but despite it being cleared relatively quickly, people have fond memories of it (perhaps those that felt it was too casual did quit). There should be content for people willing to invest varying amounts of time in the game.
Edit: By "makes me better than the next man" I meant "me" as "one": having a rarer item, title, mount, pet, shinier piece of gear, higher gearscore drives people. I oppose the mentality in real life and gave away half of my gold on a whim to random people one day, but I can't deny that people think that way (in game at least).

That's fine. I don't care what you do. I don't really care what anyone else does in the game as long as I get mine.

Combine everything you read with the statement above, the two together is what you can expect from the general community waiting for you down the road in MoP.
Randomness has its price.
If this is not a problem...MoP should be a fine expansion.

MoP should be a fine expansion.It honestly will be, and just maybe, all of the idiots screaming about Pandas will actually quit, and let those of us who just want to play the game be able to without those sorry people complaining constantly(I know it won't happen, but I can hope).

2) We tried "challenge" and accounts precipitously declined. Too bad for you.
just like the columbine shootout, everyone has a guilty for that.
Again, you ignore that during all of 2011 wow only lost 1 million accounts (less than 10%) and that out of that million, 80% of it was from China.
futhermore, out of those chinese cancelled subs, more than half were gold-farmers.
But of course people keep and keep and KEEP ignoring that.
just like they kept ignoring all the bullying and daily torment the 2 kids from columbine were subjected to EVERY SINGLE DAY, that led to their psychotic breakdown.
why should they focus on that? its easier to say that they shot everyone because they played Doom, and Doom is violent.

it'll be worst :S once the smoke clears they will be back.
Ya know, all this backdraft against MoP reminds me A LOT of the initial Backdraft Star Wars got. (And no, I'm not talking about SWTOR, I'm talking about the FIRST Star Wars movie)
Star Trek pre-dated Star Wars by pretty much a decade (Star Trek began on air in 1966, while the first Star Wars movie was out in 1977)
Thus when Star Wars was being filmed, EVERYONE (the producers, the actors, the studio, the critics, and anyone who had seen the trailers) had the same reaction as with MoP.
that A: it was a rip-off of Star Trek, and B: that it was a children-aimed film and it would sink in obscurity.
They were so convinced of this, that the 20th Century Fox gave George Lucas COMPLETE AND ABSOLUTE CONTROL of ALL ROYALTIES of Star Wars, thinking the movie would suck.
Who would had though it would become one of the most successful film features in the century? Outshining Star Trek to oblivion, and demonstrating that it wasn't as childish as initially believed...........
