Greetings. I’m lucky to be on Mograine which seems to be quite a balanced server, but from what I read here on almost daily basis, it’s clear that many other servers are being dominated by one faction or the other. People are obviously concerned about the issue as with increased population cap, life on imbalanced PvP servers becomes unbearable for many. Even on my server people seem to be leaving because of how frequent world PvP is. Before phase 2 I saw about 30-40 people online in my guild at nights on average. Now there are about 15-20 people on average. Again, I’m on Mograine which is ok in terms of faction balance, so I can only imagine that the situation is much worse on servers with a dominant faction.
I think that as players who post here on the forums regularly mostly represent the most active part of the community, they deserve some clarification, Blizzard. Are you looking into the issue? If yes, do you have a plan how to address it? Or maybe your eyes server balance and overpopulation are not issues at all and the player base is just being hysterical?
People are not simply complaining about being ganked.
They are complaining that blizzard is implementing a 15 year old pvp system with #nochanges in the current gaming climate.
After already being lucky enough to have proof that the system is flawed from private servers.
Really, you expect Blizzard to look at pirate servers? They brought in the system they made in Vanilla, it’s not their fault players now play it differently.
What the vast majority want is Fair World PvP, well big news, it very rarely was, even back in Vanilla.
Even with lower populations people would still play it the same, ganging up and killing in packs. Lower populations will not cure the population imbalance.

The whole reason classic is here is because of private servers. Why would they not look at private servers? it is free information on how the game has been played for the past few years.

Back in vanilla at this time less people were playing on the servers, less people were level 60, less people were farming honor, nobody knew the rewards before ranking up, nobody calculated the fastest paths to rank 14.
Now, unfortunately, we are in a time where people tryhard on games. And the game has already been theorycrafted to the t##s.
So it should be up to blizzard to stop their outdated system causing the meta to spiral out of control.

People just want to be able to enjoy the game, these past 3 weeks havent been fun for anybody involved.
the classic servers conversation came about after the popularity of nostalrius. that is simply a fact.
blizzard is lucky enough to have information at their fingertips on what has happened on private servers for the recent years.
No it shouldn’t, that’s like saying all cars should be limited to the maximum speed for the country they are being sold in.
wild analogy, makes no sense.
It’s been fun for the gankers. No, I’m not one of them and PvP is PvP no matter it’s form or fairness.
I AM one of the gankers, it has not been fun to search far and wide for a zone without swarms of horde or a group of alliance for the past 3 weeks.
It is not fun to camp a flight path to try and get what dregs of honor i can to keep up with the people nolifing it 24/7.
Dottie stop trolling and understand the issues .
Servers that were balanced are now 60/40 or 70/30.
No grown up with a respectable mind would call people whiners or blablabla like you do .
They are valid concerns when one side is out numbered 3 to 1 .
They cant get to F.P or boats dungeons or raids.
They cant even call for help because there isnt any.
People have either quit which lots have or re rolled to PvE servers.
Problem started because blizzard panicked and open to many servers to quick . Now they are suffering .
So i ask you again to stop trolling or just stay out of the topic.
The server im on dreadmist went from 55/45 horde owned to now being 68/32 and move moving or have moved to bloodfang this reset .
Also the AH is dead people cant farm at all guilds in bulk have left.
So Dottie dont patronize other players thanks.
You can’t level up a character 48 to 59 in the open world, beside hiding in BRD et al.
Nor can you level a new gathering profession like Herbalism or Mining.
This is not Vanilla, nor is it worth paying a monthly sub for.
Blizzard better wake up and fix this mess asap.
But I am grown up, probably more than you are and people are whiners, it’s in our nature.
Concerns yes, but wanting blizzard to fix them is like whining to mummy. “Mummy, these nasty people won’t let me play my way, please stop them” Get off a PvP realm if you don’t like it.
Again, whoever said PVP SHOULD BE FAIR?
That is not the reason for this at all. This is about the playerbase playing the game differently to how they did all those years ago.
You not even reading and skipping just to go out of you way to insult and troll so reported .
If you cant debate in an civil manner leave .
All people want is equal or close to it servers and a working AH but sure act like you are because you know you are wrong.
PvP itself is cool, I have no problem with it, even when corpse camped by a random rogue - as masochistic as it my sound, I even like it, gives me Vanilla vibes. The problem is because of how overcrowded the servers are, other aspects (like questing, gathering professions) of the game are often unplayable. PvP servers shouldn’t imply PvP only. People love WoW because it allows you to choose what you want to do. With such a high population cap there is often no choice except for logging to an alt. Which I’m fine with, but that’s just me, as I like alts.
The key purpose of this topic is not to whine about PvP or anything. I just see an obvious problem and am wondering whether Blizzard sees it as a problem as well.
He wount though he will carry on trying to prove he is right and we are all wrong and be obtuse to everyone and mock there views.
He doesnt care about his fellow players or want to help them he is just here to mock and annoy .
You can see how bad they understanding is as he cant fanthom that servers have gone from balanced to 17 out of 18 being horde owned.
He is deliberately going out of his way to avoid server stats and facts.
I highly doubt that, and how can you know, unless you work for Blizzard?
The information is out there, blizzard are stupid if they dont use it, what part of this do you not understand?
Making manufacturers instead of users responsible for the use of an item? Sounds like it to me.
im not going to argue over your nonsense comparisons that dont matter.
Their system is 15 years old, people are abusing it, it is obnoxious, it needs to be changed, simple.
People are going to abuse something that is able to be abused.
