Classic is dying due to faction imbalance

Every mega-server is dying at the moment because all players that don’t play in dominant faction stop the game.

Not true, had you said every “PvP server is dieing” you have been closer to being right.

@Eldrai-ysondre

Blizzard, save Classic please. Add a faction queue to balance 50/50 every server.

This won’t work reasons outlined here

@Jajwynfas-draenor

I’ll elaborate, this has been put forward serval times however it in its self is not a solution.

The first reason is it does not solve the underlying problem it’s a case of mitigating the outcome of it ( eg 80:20 split).

Secondly, on some servers, there are login no queues at all so of course, it would have no effect on these servers.

Thirdly in the most extreme cases even if you did implement this (I’ll get into that later) the issue would no addressed in particle sense 20v1 or 12v1 is functionally the same.

And finally, while the current complaints are we cannot “play the game” a more accurate account would be “we cannot play the game as intended”, this would be exchanged for “we are being prevented from playing the game by the direct and explicit actions and penalisation of the developer”.

While it would be plausible to still to say it would help in a subjective sense as part of a package of solutions:-

“a combination of solutions, that would resolve this problem will change the game enough that “it’s not classic” and vex the #nochanges which have a lot of numbers.”

@Eldrai-ysondre

Open free migration from dominant faction that stay in queue to empty server to balance them all, so if they don’t want to stay in queue, they have to migrate.

Players are unlikely to leave there cosey life.

@Eldrai-ysondre

Do your job, or Classic is dead. Battlegrounds will never solve this issue, it’s a false solution that will solve nothing.

Probably true,

Personally - Called it!

The inconvenient truth of world PvP & why to turn War Mode off and roll PvE in Classic

For as long as I can remember PvP players have been telling me two things. To get the most out of the game you need to play with on a PvP server (or with WM on) and the PvP is imbalanced, these two things are often expressed at the same time. There is no design solution to the War Mode problem as the problem is not with the design it’s with the participants. The nature of player vs player, when compared to player vs environment, is substantially more competitive as there is a “winner” and a “lo…

What can we do -

New PvE server please - (Solution to PvP issues)

Hope this gets to Blizz, I’m loving classic, play on Mirage Raceway. It’s great lovely bit world wPvP in Tauren Mill & Southshaw yesterday it was back and forth. Now I’m levelling my alt happily in Ashenvale I can get to raids and dungeons no problem, if i see 5 of the other faction riding towards me I just /wave, they do it back. Great feel-good atmosphere However, the forums are full of players who are raising issues either directly or indirectly related to world PvP; typically around ganki…
