You have to remove groups/premades from the solo queue. Make it 3 queues. Solo queue, 2-5 player queue and full premade (10/15).
You basically made the already bad pvp experience for alliance even worse with making 90% of the games be against full horde premades.
Buff alliance honor / mark gain by a lot too since they only can lose now against the new premade meta or simply remove this change after the test thanks. 99% of alliance groups just surrender when they see all the enemy team is from the same realm even if it would be winable sometimes.
Add a npc on alliance side that lets you get horde racials for an hour in pvp situations. Give other bonuses to alliance in general, more xp /honor/ rep / gold gains or you will see many people just reroll causing even more damage to the PVP scene and PVE aswell.
Since we dont care about faction balance anymore at all maybe just offer free faction changes from ALLIANCE to HORDE. Let everyone have the good stuff.
Or just remove factions now and let us play crossrealm with everyone and let horde + alliance play PVP and PVE together.
As others have pointed out you should remove the ability to understand what same faction enemies write in say/yell and block whispers from such players.
Also need to hire a few gms to combat the massive wintrading/honorfarming this change will cause (already happens on stream now, good job). Maybe only enable same faction after waiting 10 minutes in queue if you are a premade. Give deserter buff if you leave the queue, dont tell people which bg number popped.
Good job at mocking the alliance players with the alliance facemasks btw, very funny.
I get that horde just wants to play but this is a big F to alliance players and you need to finetune this change hard with the above suggestions. Just leaving it like this is horrible.

I was so demotivated to play because of the long bg queues. Thank you for this change. It made the TBC experience so much better!

You can cap the EOTS Flag on your enemy’s base if its Horde Vs Horde.
Horrible Change but this feedback thread is a sham because the feature is staying regardless of feedback.
Final nail in the coffin for the Alliance Population in Classic TBC. Shame.

i can feel the salt
Also another question, are you gonna implement same faction bgs on like weekends or something? Be honest. Yes i have a phone.
Alliance has every right to complain about stupid changes. Horde cried for a month about a very small issue they themself caused. Daddy Blizzard choose to treat one child better, now alliance players can give their honest feedback.
Now they have to fix this mess.

But what has it exactly ruined for alliance?
The choice to play alliance. Come on. Im a horde player aswell. See the bigger picture. Try to. This is so bad for the health of the game.
What I wanna know is how they gonna implement this, beacuse they will. Classic blizzard move wich made retail so bad.
I wanna know if theres gonna be same factions weekends etc.

I still cant understand how horde being able to play the game, is gonna force everyone on alliance to abandon their characters and roll horde. the queues are the same for everyone now. this hardly ruins the experience for anyone

It completely kills long term prospects for Alliance retaining players through the lifespan of this Expansion.
You’ll see most servers completely devoid of players by P3.

This is an excellent change. It proves that Blizz will listen to a small vocal minority and give them exactly what they want without considering the longer term implications.
Exactly why would anyone currently roll alliance in these servers/matches now?
How many Horde will be banned for win trading which will be completely rife? (answer, a few, who will get reinstated after a small delay)
Ever wonder why pve servers are so popular, especially for alliance players?
How long will it be until those saying they won’t be ganking level 60’s anymore because of this change go back to ganking lvl60’s (because it makes them feel good to win against players who have no chance).
I’d suggest everyone gets in quick and pumps up their honour before they revert having realised it’s made an even bigger mess and the world and it’s mother has exploited it. grab that gear etc fast Hordies!
And with next to no q time as soon as it even looks like a loss, players will resign etc and throw the game as what is the incentive to stay and fight when u know u will be back in to the next match in seconds?
Awful decision, let’s see what the faction balance looks like after 6 months if this stays the same- if you’re on a pvp server, I expect the current 65/35 or so horde to get a lot worse.

Like this is the problem. You do not understand why some players are upset. Trust me, I want horde to have lower queues aswell and experience the wonders of Classic TBC. Some of us played horde in classic “vanilla” and made the choice to switch to Alliance beacuse we knew TBC queues for Horde were gonna be horrible. Now that choice was all in vain. And trust me, leaving a guild which whom Ive been raiding Naxx with, had IRL partys with etc was NOT an easy choice.
Im playing my horde char now, ofc, why would I even bother playing alliance. For RP? Nah not that kind of player. Faction imbalance will go to like 90% horde and 10% alliance. This is not good for the health of the game, EVEN if it means I or YOU get lower queues for BGs. Its just like retail who we can all agree is so bad its not even a meme anymore.

Except pve servers, which have a different problem: not enough layers to cater for all the players in an area and respawn rates that don’t adjust at all to every single mob in an area being dead!
