I suppose doing the dailies doesn’ fit for being a Merc either? or is that just being paid to be a nanny / maid for big ice giants that dont wanna do it themselves?

on a side note…i’ve always advertised myself as a Healadin for Hire (yes i’m only lvl 71, yes the characters new… it used ta be tank for hire but eh… it works lol.. ya wanna see its the name above on Azjol-Nerub… but yea heals for hire ftw!

I’m not sure Melvyl. Sure you’re pitching in to help and money might not be the only reason, but you’re still getting paid to be enlisted and you certainly don’t stick around and become full-time members of their organization to help out people you really care about. The job is never fully done before you move on to something/somewhere else.

“The Stormwind guards are hard pressed to keep the peace here, with so many of us in distant lands and so many threats pressing close. And so we’re enlisting the aid of anyone willing to defend their home. And their alliance.” - Willem in Northshire Abbey

“On the other side of this gate we are locked in a savage war - a war that we cannot win without support. You must go through the Dark Portal and help our troops.” - Relthorn Netherwane in the Blasted Lands

“You’ve come to enlist, right?” - Blythe at Valiance Keep

I have always seen us more as volunteers pitching in to help where we can. I don’t think mercenaries would tend to be consider “exalted” by their clients if they were just in it for the money.

Until Blizzard introduces faction-switching from Horde to Alliance (can’t imagine why someone would go the other way) along with a sizable reward in gold, I don’t think that the “mercenary” title applies.

( Sry for my bad english )

I play draenei paladin. So, i don’t see my char like a mercenarie, i just think my homeworld has been destroyed,my people been killed and we must leave with the exodar, then crashed on azeroth. People of azeroth open the portal and help us to deliver Draenor ( outland ) from the demons.

So now, a lot of draenei considering Azeroth as their home because they have no place to go, draenor is destryoed and the exodar can’t travel anymore, so i think my char just fight for defend his land.

I’ve never thought of my character like this tbh. While it makes sense, in some situations it would seem a little weird. For example, in the argent crusade, your raid is testing to see if they are powerful enough to face the scourge and, eventually, the Lich King himself.

It’d be hard to believe that the fate of all of Azeroth would be placed on a band of mercs for hire, even if they are incredibly skilled such as ourselves :P.
