You say that but you hit the ground before the float hits the water lol
This is dumb, its not a community problem. Individual players will act in their best interest and its blizzardâs job to achieve an acceptable balance by giving proper incentives or penalties. This is like saying âlowering interest rates are dumb people just need to spend moreâ. It doesnât work like that in real world honey. Blizzard failed to address this problem when they could without being intrusive and before its out of hand, and now most pvp servers will inevitably implode like this. They can still scrap the terrible idea of cross realm bgs and punish faction stacking and allow free transfers for dominant side but I suspect they have anyone on the team except an intern and his cat.

Except people didnât act in their best interest. That acted for short sighted gratification rather than what is actually good for them.
Anyone, absolutely anyone who thought about it even for a second could see what was going to happen.

Go and be a raid ninja in a server with an actual community, act in your âown interestâ and see if you donât get shunned. Itâs why low ninjas hop servers and name changes. Thereâs such thing as a community judgement of what is acceptable behaviour or not in a social game.
We just lost it, since vanilla, since currently the game is played as an action loot-pinata instead of an actual RPG.

People acting in their best interest doesnât mean they will always be right. In financial markets people act in their best interest but a lot of people lose money. It simply means they will put their own benefit above all else, and its blizzards job to give them a proper incentives so that people acting on their own benefit will result in relatively healthy servers.

Can agree releasing honour without BGâs was an absolutely stupid decision. Will not deny that.
But by the other token the community (well alot of individuals within it) decided what to do about it. Their answer was nothing⌠And now because none of em could grow up a bit and lay off everyone is gonna have to deal with the fallout.

If you ninja an item you will lose reputation and friends, its not really is in your best interest. In the context of server balance this is a ridiculous and meaningless analogy because community has no way of punishing players for faction stacking.

Should of had population softcaps for factions. Didnât get in before horde side filled up? Too bad go alliance or change servers and be horde there.
First come first serve, just like naming your character.

As I said in my other post, Blizzard only has 2 options:
A) Add faction queues for the majority faction on each PvP server ( doubtful they have any plans of introducing such a feature, since it goes against what Vanilla was back in the day )
B) Allow people ( or the minority faction, given that they are the one who suffer ) to transfer from a PvP server to a PvE one. That will possibly result in many of the Horde dominated servers to wind up like Flamelash. Huge playgrounds for Horde players.
Itâs not. Their job is to preserve Classic and keep it as close to Vanilla as possible.
I will again repeat myself and say that itâs the PLAYERS who brought this to themselves. Now, theyâre beginning to feel the side-effects of their actions.
You reap what you sow.

Wasnât aware vanilla had servers with 15k player caps and layers. Try again later.
I also wasnât aware its ok for a game to be unplayable but apparently that topic might be a tad too advanced at this point.

You are aware the community waved away a more vanilla pop cap because âit would be deadâ right?
Blizz gave what was asked for.

Congratulations on completely missing the point.

Did you have a point to begin with? All youâve done so far is post nothing but rubbish in the hopes of winding other people up.
Trolling in other words.

No I got you, I do think are totally ignoring any community input into the situation to conveniently pin everything on blizzard.
Its a problem created out of a perfect storm. Just you cannot wash your hands of it.
I remember reading multiple people talking about how mature and self respecting the vanilla community was. Really it just seems many never actually grew up at all.

I explained why this is not a community problem by using a dumbed down analogy and you claimed it wasnât blizzardâs job to keep their game entrertaining (or âplayableâ for a couple servers) as long as they made it look like the original game as an answer, ignoring the fact that the root of this problem is they made drastic changes over vanilla. So pardon me if I ignore your equally dumb upcoming posts.

Hahaha, now the horde starts whining aswell?
As I stood by the:
âYou choose PvP servers, you get what you deserve!â statement.
I also stand by the:
âYou monsters choosed to do so many mean things to the Alliance players, you brought this on yourselves, you get what you deserve!â statement.
PvP is one thing, but just because you can:
1v40.
kill FP NPC.
camp and gank every Alliance player on the way to a Raid dungeon.
corpse camp people.
Doesnât mean you should! 
The game letâs you do a lot of things on a PvP server and just because you can it doesnât mean it wonât have any consequences! 
Maybe you should think about what you have done, before you guys start all the whining aswell!

Functionally? The game was playable.
Unless you now suggest controlling player behaviour can be achieved by developers now.
And here, ladies and gentlemen, we have a prime example of a delusional using straw man logic, as well as twisting the words of the posters that heâs attempting to argue with.
On a positive note, we can both agree to ignore each other. No doubt that you will feel the need to get âthe last wordâ, just to stick it to the man!
Here, have the last word. Feel free to reply to this post. You will receive no answer.

Iâm not arguing that developers canât tailor situations to their liking. Ofc they can do that.
But this is what they had to work with âno changes!â⌠âpop cap would be too low realms would be deadâ⌠âtoo invasive!â⌠âget rid of xâ⌠âremove y!ââŚ
Seriously⌠You want something different. But when it is different you donât want it. Make up your minds.
I wouldâve thought that is why they kept in sharding to allow for more faction balance⌠Can see how well that was received. Even you donât like it.
