I have chars on both factions and there have always been pros and cons for being alliance/horde.
when i play alliance and i enter a pre-instance zone like auchindoun then im usually alone with a mate at the summoning zone while being surrouned by sometimes just 10-15 horde, often more, usually some 70 boosters among them and many of them (not all) simply enjoy to abuse this power by killing you over and over again. and while a sane person would usually dont 10v1 at all or maybe do it once or twice, just fooling around but then leave you alone - but you arent left alone, you can get easily killed 5 or even 10 times before they move along or find someone else to harass so they forget about you.
i have an opinion about people who are finding joy in harming others, but i dont need to elaborate this here and thats not the point, i dont complain about this, i can log to my horde chars whenever i like.
but when i then read posts of players who enjoy all the benefits of being in the server dominant faction and the only disadvantage is that they have long qs, this is just a bad joke. everyone and their dog knew how server pop would be and what this means for BG qs, so please stop whing finally and if the bg q is so crucial for someone then just reroll alliance. and btw, i know alliance pvpers who would prefer 30-45 min qs over losing 90% of all matches.
So true and even when you offer solutions that would be better for the health of the game like free horde to Allience transfers to combat this unbalance⌠they say Nope I want Merc mode donât care about the other factions balance there really is nothing wrong with the PvP queue system itâs fair for a two faction game.
nobody knew because it was never an issue. if you think that people should have expected horde to have 40 minute bg queues when classic came out youâre delusional
Everyone knew it even before classic vanilla was released it was discussed alot on here and on Reddit even of you googled bis PvP x race x class combo it would always point to orc or undead itâs been an issue on private servers for years it has been discussed for years
For example
And thatâs about a private server 4 years ago see the similarly to what people are saying today?
I donât know a single person who expected it. The vast majority of the playersbase did not expect it nor did they even think about the possibility that this could even happen.
Ye but alliance donât want to have free horde->alliance transfer either. So we have no other options (well there is, but Activision will never use resources to develop something good on classic).
Imho as an Alliance player i believe that people should not be penalized because they want to play certain faction. It it not a players fault because Blizzard designed it this way that certain races are better aesthetically and have better racialâs.
Pushing people to play races they donât want to mainly because queue times is plain broken and above all kills RP element. There has to be solution, but Blizzard is not capable to do anything these daysâŚ
tbh i dont want it, bc then the bg q whiners come, after they ve come they start whining about alliance âalwaysâ losing, premades, players never do this or that, but enemy does, horde is so mean in open world pvp etc
Honestly though. Youâre quite delusional if you actually care about the game (TBC) and expected the queues to be equal. Either that or youâve been living under a rock, never played any TBC private server and didnât care to do any research whatsoever.
