Thank you for adding the bland mechagnomes for the alliance, we totally did not want Sethrak.
In the next patch, could you add ethereals to the horde and give us troggs so the bonus can go up a bit more?

The races you do or do not get have nothing to do with the Alliance willingness to turn War Mode on.
I donât blame them, most zones are full of Horde, the Alliance I see are mostly clustered together venturing out, making the most of their 30%. Brave souls who are hideously outnumbered unless they get one of those magical shards where they dominate.

Mechagnomes arenât that bad⌠I know a few who like them.
I mean, they donât get the love that vulpera do, but theyâre not a disaster.
Warmode bonus is just silly anyway. Trying to tempt PvE-only players to turn WM rarely results in them having a good time. Would be slightly better if the bonus was, say, +50% damage done to everything. Including quest mobs. Thatâd make your WQs fly by AND make you a little more secure about being the minority faction.

someone will still come out with âHorde Biasâ =P
But seriously. Its purely the fact that the Aliiance do not want to turn on WM. Even with a 30% bonus people still wont turn it on. Cant use the excuse of âwell its dominated by hordeâ because that swings in roundabouts depending on which shard youâre placed in.
Imo remove any bonus bar a PVP only bonus (exra honor etc) and blizzard NEED to implement something to try and balance out the shards. I honestly dont know the answer
I am not sure why Blizzard thought alliance wants more gnomes considering how little gnomes are played in general, while every man and their dog was happy about vulpera. I think I agree with the poster, who said that at this stage Blizzard just does not care about this franchise any more. They milk last of it if they and as long as they can, but thatâs pretty much it.

Please read Punyelfs post above again, so you get a grasp on the situation. Weâre in a new patch, therefore more players are active and will regress back to switching it off which is the only natural reaction.
Now I have to use WM on my druid again, sick.
Iâm starting to dislike blizzard for how incapable they are.

Which again is âthe alliance do not want to turn WM onâ.
You cant blame the other faction for coming after you if they out number you especially in a pvp environment. BOTH factions do it. BOTH alliance and horde raid group up, camp flight paths and make the opposing factions life a misery (dare i mention the alliance raids on newhome in 8.2 every single time the quest is up so it can be done).
The alliance only really have themselves to blame for not mustering more people to turn it on to fight back. YES blizzard do need to put some checks and balances so shards are not as ridiculously skewed like they can be but the fact is alliance fail to turn it on and its been proven over this whole expansion that a bonus like this is not enough for them to do it.

If it takes 2-3x as long due to being constantly ganked, itâs not useful.
If thereâs any WM bonus at all, it should be a PvP bonus such as higher health, resistance to stuns, more damage done, etc. Something that actually makes players think âOk, so if 5 enemies come at me⌠I might still win.â
Or⌠cap the number of players that can turn WM on. Not enough enemies? âSorry, you canât use WM right now. Youâre in a queue to turn it on.â Itâs harsh, but I bet thereâd be a wave of faction swaps.

The thing is. It wouldnât be to bad. If the horde player wouldnât suck soooooo much.
Itâs just frustrating to do a rare alone. A horde attacks you. You kill him. A new horde joins and tryâs to kill you. So you kill them too. Then both revive and you barely kill them again , while the rare is not losing any health. Just I have a third one join into the fight.
Itâs just endlessly frustrating that horde wins just by swarming. Atleast destroy us alliance player quick so we donât have some hope left. Donât drag it out by dying again and again.
If horde would get 100% increased revive time, warmode would be balanced. As it would stop the swarming

But to be fair, the Horde Have the majority of concurrent WM players. It takes a specific task like Battle for Mechagon for them to mobilise. With us, we just have far more regular WM users.
Wanna know how you test it? Turn off WM and watch how your world fills up 
Indeed. And on Argent Dawn it is the complete opposite because it does not shard with other realms. People are people, alliance and horde. Same behavior. And even on AD alliance gets bonus. So that is even more a reason for enabling pvp as alliance.

Obviously both sides do it - but one of them outnumbers them greatly which is why we have this reaction. And yes, there are several factors and groups you can blame the situation. In the end, the game lives and falls with the faction balance.
If you canât stand it being guilty for being in the superior faction, then what exactly are you chastising the other faction for? They have a right in being upset, as Puny has pointed it out, and if you canât or wonât understand the situation, then there is nothing discussion-worthy here. Go and play the other side for once and then weâre can continue this discussion.
It does with other RP-servers, otherwise I wouldnât have met some of you in the 25 kills farm quest already (DarkmoonFaire/DefiasBrotherhood).
