World of Warcraft®

Looking forward to it, not only for new content and buffs but so that I can get at least 1 Galleon kill this expansion -.-

They're not retroactively making Sha and Galleon tap to faction, unfortunately. :( But at least there would theoretically be less people after them. Look on the bright side - at least they hotfixed it so that Galleon can't be despawned anymore by one person or a very small group of people trying to grief another group. :)

I thought they were, did they revert that change?

World bosses like this seem to heavily favor the heavier populated factions. Often I've found by the time the Horde manage to form half a group, the Alliance 40+ are already half way through the bosses health.

I could imagine the difficulty for the Alliance getting a kill on the Illidan server, or the Horde on Kel'Thuzad.

Like Keg, I'm looking forward to 5.2 and the world bosses there. One ominous blue quote in response to a player saying "Well I'll just run up and hit him for a tag for loot" was "Oh really? Just try".

You know what? I think that's right. I recalled reading a CM say something about it being undecided, and later something suggesting that they weren't going to do it, but I just looked at the Patch 5.2 PTR notes and it does say "all world bosses". Tap to faction is a much better mechanic.
