Blue post when?

Okay so obviously we’re not going anywhere with these never ending shizstorms on the forums. I would just expect Blizzard to give out their opinion and make a blue post about the faction imbalance. I want to know (and I assume most of you guys too) whether I should hope for a free faction transfer or a mercenary mode, or whether I should reroll alliance or simply quit the game. I want a clear message from Blizzard, it’s about time they take a stand.

What are they really going to add to whats already said on the many forum posts that already exist.

It genuinely is a community/player created issue.

People have their reasons for playing either faction but it is something that comes as a pro/con of their faction choice.

There isn’t #nochange and a fix for this the way everyone will be happy.

  1. Merc mode - not a good fix, this doesn’t fix the underlying issue and disadvantages Alliance more (Horde get their queue time lowered and still have the same wPvP experience).

  2. Re-roll - players are invested in their Horde character(s) and community.

  3. Free/paid faction change - wasnt available at this point in the game orginially but neither was the boost. Probably the best option if managed properly, however players would need to take this option and leaving people (friends/guild) who don’t want to may still be an issue. There is also the issue with incentive, lowered queues might not be enough.

Blizzard doesn’t need to make a post about this, however I do hope they offer option number 3 should they take any action.

They wont, not unless we gank ion’s son or something and spam some shout in alliance speech saying MERC MODE OR CAMP. Or something like that.

What amazes me is that this was forecasted for a long time and everyone knew the faction balance was going to be like this. But somehow now there are thousands of people with a suprisepikachu face acting shocked that there are 1 hour ques.

Not only is horde the bigger faction by a lot they also have the bigger pvp community. The percentage of pvpers on alliance for the faction is lower than horde, always was in tbc. Fact is most the hardcore pvpers are horde because the racials were slightly better. Alliance racials are fine and have there uses and to most non hardcore didn’t matter.

But somehow people are surprised by this?

I was a big pvper first time round but specifically went horde for pve this time for the bigger community and knowing I didn’t have the time to invest into pvp. I remember what a grind it was and how much time and effort it actually needed. And that was as an alliance player. I knrw horde would be way worse due to ques.

How is it so many people have been caught with their pants down over this. Mind boggling

You are leaving in 5 days anyway, why do you care?

Why would i be leaving in 5 days? Are you some special kind of sperg? If no actions are taken ill just go wpvp and camp evry single sperg i see. Like you for example. What server are you on?

Golemagg, gl with that, horde here is getting farmed while having 60:40 ratio, also retail patch is inc, so i guessed you are going here

There will be no blue post. You will cry until you quit. Then the horde queue times will improve. Then you’ll hear that the queue times are better and come back. Then the queue times will go up again.

Long story short: Blizz owns your soul and there’s nothing you can do about it.

xdxdxdxd. Only spergs like you play retail. Go back to it. And yea that server is utter trash. Always easy bg wins when i see gollemagg spergs. Guess ill just have to live with farming wpvp, its actually pretty decent honour. Especially at scc stone. Love it.

I dont play retail sir, thats why i dont want retail changes, i assumed that when you want retail changes you would prefer game that already has them.
Also yeag golemagg is trash server, still better than human male server tho.

So because a solution is in retail. A solution that actually works instead of the other 99% of solutions that screwed the game. We cant have that solution? Are you braindamaged?
Retail has fixed pala seals. OMG NO, CANT HAVE THAT. Oh wait…
Some changes are actually good.
Just like DUAL SPEC.
Nobody wants to waste 100g for speccing into pvp from pve evry single time. Its horrible.
But I GUESS THAT WASNT IN TBC HURRRDEERRRRRR.

Well, if it works in retail is debatable as retail became 1 faction game. And lfg and lfr is good too right? Who has time for that. Also unlimited char boost is gteat idea right?

Ah yes, a truely phenominal take. Make the problem WORSE by camping the last alliance players on our petty 90% horde servers. That will surely fix this issue.

Unlimited char boost is not a solution. Thats a greedy cashgrab move learn the difference.
Retail was screwed since cata, so saying thats because of merc mode proves that you have no clue why the game failed and why people who stayed in that game had too much investment to change in the first place. Coupled mith multiple other changes to racials and other things that made the game devolve into that. merc mode only entails BG’s.

Yeah, mode where you need only 1 faction to pvp for system to work for sure doesnt support 1 faction game, ofc. Also why dual spec? Retail already solved that problem just remake talents in rested area for free. So many great ideas from retail

Horde logic.
Camp alliance non stop, that’ll make our queues go up.
Flamelash remembers.

You are a sperg. No point in talking with such a clueless monkey.

No, its a solution. Ill get my honour that way. We like to think in solutions. Instead of sperging out with NOCHANGES or ThErE iS nO PrObLeM jUsT rErOll

Yeah, sure for retail changes go to retail and everyone will be happy

It’s a temporary solution to a major faction imbalance.
Do you not remember what happened to flamelash?
Or was you playing retail at this point?
