WoW 5.0.x Cross Realms Zones

[ebony]

I am preparing for MoP and in the course of finishing Cata I xferred a couple toons to another server but continued to run heroics for valor and occasional FL runs. Once 5.0 comes out I'll need to re-evaluate whether I need to transfer the rest. So far, conceptually the downsides seem to be:

Cannot trade, so professions across toons would be nerfed (ie can't enchant an x-realm toon's armor, etc).
Inability to collect the same guild rep or contribute to the same guild's xp for the x2 or x1 server
Complexity in ensuring that the right toon loots the right thing (for example the tailor needs to be the one to loot the cloth).

Anything I am missing?

yes this is all still true no trading a few items u can trade mage food-water soul stones

guild is still bound to the realm your playing on you need 3 players in the group to get xp etc.

though npc's will change in the world the you still see items your server offer EG: the black market npc and the goblin none faction AH.

World bosses you can group up and fight though i can see hardcore guilds going round servers killing them for free loot to get that little more gear.

This is more for world pvp and meetings RP? other stuff that might not happen on your realm.

The channels Gennel/LD/WD are still on your server atm might be a bug.

Though you can quest if u wonted to in mop if your not ready to make the full move at the start

I say good luck to another guild trying to kill world bosses on my server, they will get ganked mercilessly
