How can you expect the majority of the player base to participate in PvP when queues are this prohibitively long? It’s twice as long as it takes for you to time out from AFKing while waiting for it to pop.
We no longer have the Classic honor system, please give us Mercenary mode or at least SOMETHING because this is absurd. You can’t expect people to spend one and a half hours of game time to get 1 (one) bg mark, of which you need several dozen just to buy one item.
And please don’t give me the “you signed up for this” nonsense. According to ironforge.pro factions are relatively balanced (47A:53H atm). Alliance just doesn’t sign up for BGs enough.

Original TBC was 20-30mins queue on Horde as well and instant for Alliance, so, nothing new here.
Maybe Blizzard will make paid(maybe even free?) one-sided faction transfer for some over-horde-populated servers, but I doubt it.
This won’t help with marks, but a quick guide on honor as horde:
- Queue on 3 different BGs: AV + 2 of your choice
- Wait for queue
- Right after you play one of BGs queue for same again
- While you play others queue timer ticks
This way you’ll have at least better queue times and honor/hour rate.

Yes, the queues are long.
No, you can’t have a system to break the game completely.
Yes, I will give you the “you signed up for this” since you did. Cross realm BGs and what not, not enough ally to go around.

I think i got really unlucky but 5 EoTS games in a row (after waiting 1 hour in queue) we faced alliance premades. That comes down to 5 marks in 5 hours.

That site is far from accurate. Read the disclaimer.

Classic TBC que being 1h is kind of “new” imo as it is over a 100% increase in que time compared to the original game.
Best option is to reroll ally, no other solutions will be coming except maybe a paid service to transfer to ally at some point, since blizzard likes money.

Queue times are a direct consequence of your actions but you’re asking Blizzard to punish Alliance players for it. The entitlement and ignorance with these Horde zombies is disgusting.

Get off your high chair and take off that bib. No need to go insulting them and using douchy words like “disgusting”
A here we go because we didn’t get dozens of these posts in the last two days. Yes the Q is long the Horde did this to itself. How are you supposed to farm marks? You Q, you wait, you go in and you do it again.
And yes you signed up for this. The factions are 60/40 and the majority of PvPer chose Horde, totally NOT for the OP racial skills by the way…
More horde want to PvP less Alliance want to PvP. Battlegrounds have a fixed number of spots. Do the math.
That’s how it works. And no you can’t have mercenary mode because if you get it then people will want dungeon finder, personal loot, transmog and so on.

I found BGs as ally to be pretty slow… 80 marks, not a single win. Didn’t even see a single AV, it was just people running past eachother…

You got camped on some servers for two whole weeks two years ago and that’s why Horde is damned to have unplayable queues forever and ever? Vile tribalism, have a little empathy.

I like how you said have a little empathy after what you wrote just before that, ironic

Player created problems require player created solutions. Reroll Alliance or enjoy the queue time.

“two weeks”…you mean whole classic and bc now…ever since ranks came to classic alliance got camped 24/7…horde owned what they wanted…alliance had to find spots to summon their raiders to “safe” spot to try to get in alive with some buffs,meanwhile horde just stood outside and did what ever they wanted…now leveling in BC…camping alliance again…
Horde farmed what they wanted and when they wanted it…always out numbering alliance…horde had every advantage over alliance,guild choices,groups,items on AH…everything now you dont have good time on BG queue and you cry here…go reroll you moron

Blizzard created the faction imbalance that is the root of the issue genius, players always want to be the most optimised character.
