? all horde controlls farm spots, all horde contolls world bosses, all farm mats, is horde, alliance AH is slowly drained. its a loss loss for alliance, anyone saying otherwise is a monkey

This might, in the long run, make more allies reroll horde but some changes are needed as you cannot think that 60-90 minute queues for horde wouldnā€™t drive their subs down very quickly.

They should have offered free horde to alliance faction changes first though and then act accordingly, but I guess they took easy way out.

That really depends from server to server.

They donā€™t, they all play horde.

What does it matter though, if the transfers come after this change?
Noone in their right mind would want to change over to a faction that is in the minority, loses 80% of their BGs, while at the same time you now get instant queues on both factions?

This HvH change needs to go, and faction transfers opened up immediately.
Both cannot exist at the same time.

They do but itā€™s a problem for the Alliance so they donā€™t care.

Pretty mich every pvp server is horde dominated, something like 18/22

blizzard failed to see many problems caused by changes they did to wow in past 15years, so what makes it any difference now?

blizzard never cured this game, they just give it painkiller.

All these problems the alliance is facing was apparently worth it because of an instant pvp queue. So weird, no wonder everyone plays horde.

Blizzard doesnā€™t care about Alliance, since Horde have been their favorite pet from the start.

I like how you call it a minor Horde Pvp problem. Waiting over 1hr in queue for a battleground just to fight a Alliance premade and lose in 5 minutes. Getting a average of 1k honor per day cause you canā€™t even do the daily pvp.

They dont care. It is clear they dont give flying eff about their players.

This issue was caused by the population imbalance you denseā€¦

I agree, its obvious something should be done. But sacrificing the whole other faction for shorter queues cant be it.

Faction change + HvH could coexist in one specific scenario.

If HvH was made only as temporary fix(so horde can play BGs asap) with clear end date and message it wont return after that - for example 1-2 months so horde can farm some gear.

During this period of time there would be also free horde --> ali faction change.

This way horde can get sample of how ali BG ques look like(as bait) and if they want it like that forever they can faction change. Or not. Based on their priorities. Some would, some wouldnt. Those who would faction change will help with faction balance and get insta ques in return, metaslaves and all life long horde players who stay will have little bit better ques because of those who swapped. Not instant, but maybe 20 minā€¦

On top of that during this time some player power unrelated bonus to ali could be introduced - like BG exclusive title and new PvP mount for 60 marks of each for example to support ali BG participation and lower horde ques even more.

This is cringe topic

Everybody just reroll. 58-70 isnā€™t that bad and the expansion only just started. Let alliance die like blizztard wants.

I would better leave wow. The thing blizzard did is humaliating and I donā€™t want to pay them anymore. Plus I already wasted my lvlboost :slight_smile:

It depends what you call ā€œdominationā€. Is server dominated if balance is 40% vs 60% for you, or if itā€™s only 30% vs 70%+?

This is actually more of a Blizzard created problem than player problem. Faction balance was as close as humanly possible to even in lvl60 classic, lvl58 boosts tho made sure that it does not stay that way. If there was no boosts very, very small amount of people would reroll horde (or play TBCC if they are strict retail player).

Go complain to Blizzard regarding lvl58 boosts.

Well, combination of 58 boost, horde being better in everything and fotm community made the problem
