Are you playing or going to play with warmode on? Or sometimes have it on? Or going to leave it off?

my personal experience is I see a LOT more people with it off. I turn it on and barely see anyone as alliance. Sometimes a horde tries ganking me, but it isn't very common. That is in BFA zones as well where more people are leveling. So I turned it off, cause it felt like a singleplayer game to me with it on.

I did not pick a PvE server for no reason.
This have been a good conversation
I'm not an IT Specialist, Game Developer, or Clairvoyant in real life, but like others on here, I play one on the internet.
I've got the straight edge.

In Legion, players pretty much gave up on their respective factions (horde and alliance) and made their own class hall and became leaders of that. The player character was disappointed with how "their" factions acted. All were united in the class hall. Sure it was united against an enemy...but the players themselves didn't really involve themselves in "their" faction and again, were in fact disappointed by them
So why would players suddenly care about race wars when they made their own class hall and were leaders of it? Maybe the commoners and military of horde and alliance would care...but the players? Not so much.
The other thing is...most of the heroes of azeroth (thrall, Khadar (though he aims more alliance than thrall does horde) etc...lots of heroes are neutral) aren't technically part of that faction they are a race of. They also help (in legion and before) the players no matter what race. Like thrall isn't really even part of the horde at all anymore and is neutral like many other heroes. And the players are the heroes as well, so why would they actually care about some race wars?
So if you take into account the player lead a class hall for all races...and never really (for a few expansions now) cared too much about race wars...no reason they suddenly would care about race wars in BFA.
So lore-wise in terms of ignoring BFA forced race wars...if considering WoD and Legion...it makes more sense for the player not to involve themselves in that and would leave it up to the "commoner".
For example...azeroth's wound would (if considering the player characters from legion) be far more important to the player than pathetic race wars.
Heck, most of the cutscenes the players aren't even involved anyway during siege of lordaeron and the burning of the tree...the player wasn't in those scenes at all.
But the more important thing the player character would focus on (like many other heroes of azeroth) is healing azeroth and focusing on much bigger things than frivolous racial stuff.

otherwise it still feels like pve even with warmode on.
Alas, with megaserver tech, this probably isn't workable. Organic player interaction isn't really encouraged by megaserver tech the way most seem to think.
