Hello fellow turtles

Easy suggestion, in durotar, in he new custom goblin city there is a vendor that sells rare and exclusive items, like the thunderlizard cape and more
https://database.turtle-wow.org/?item=81308

The issue is that he is hostile to alliance, only friendly to Horde, and the items that sells are BOP, so alliance players cant get his items

Is possible make this vendor neutral? Some items are really cool and fun but cant get it with alliance characters

Lorewise, he is a goblin, so his loyalty is only with the Gold, not the Horde

What do you think?

The auction house exists. This is an RP thing. There are lots of vendors and faction specific stuff that you'd use to have to go to tanaris and list on the ah.

Yeah that could work IF the items that npc sells were BOE, but they are BOP so when you buy it as Horde, they become soulbound, so you cant trade it

If the npc cant become neutral, then maybe a solution could be make those items boe instead bop

The auction house can't sell soulbound items. The only way to get these items is from the merchant.

True. There doesn't need to be 100% homogenization though. It makes the game feel unique. There are plenty of rewards from quests that are faction specific. And that's ok. It allows for all sorts of great social interactions. We constantly joke around with "awww you should've picked the correct faction".

This particular Goblin is part of the Durotar Labor union which is a HORDE Faction. Not everything has to be 1:1 Shared and Torta already said they have no intentions of making that Merchant Neutral.

Then is a posibility to create a item with same effect?

The item i want is the thunderlizard cape

https://database.turtle-wow.org/?item=81308

Could add a cape with same effect somewhere in the world from quest, or dungeon or another merchant, so i can get with my alliance character?
