If there is literally no faction balance on servers, and each server is dominated by one of the 2 factions leaving almost no room to breath for other side - then what’s the point of pvp servers?

It is like this since TBC…
Bragging rights - “I play on a PVP server”
No point really. All PVP servers should be closed and characters transferred to PVE servers.

Nah, could just make everything PvE realms and then add non-phased War Mode (without PvP talents or w/e) and that’s the only way to activate PvP in open world for those that wants it.
To gank lower level people. Since we got crossrealm I don’t see a point. I play on PVE so I can level and solo content with no interuptions.
When I want to play BGs, I que and play.
You should had asked that in TBCC when Horde wowed to rage quit if mercenary mode (from WoD, might I remind you) wouldn’t be added. Instead Blizzard gave em Merc mode 2.0 on steroids by allowing to queue with fellow faction members. Not as a mix of A+HvH, but pure HvH. That boosted Horde numbers even further in PvP and they kept growing and influencing faction rerolling untill Wrath. By that time many realms were over burdened with Horde and Alliance mostly remained only on Firemaw and Earthshaker among En EU realms

World PvP is dead and its a good thing. Did you play SoD where even if the faction were near 50/50 split and World PvP was so grief, bad and unfun. One faction always has better PvP racials so everyone who wants to PvP goes that faction and everyone who wants to PvE goes the other faction. This leads to PvP faction always dominating in the open world which isn’t fun for the other one.
Also SoD tried forced world PvP events and the general consesus is that was bad, laggy and over all not fun.
World PvP also ended up being a couple of deranged people who were max level spending all day killing people 40 levels lower than them in low level zones and the other faction refusing take part due to the inbalance. Overall most PvP players prefer BGs and Arena over world PvP.
All you type of players who ask for World PvP and have their rose tinted goggles on because 20 years ago tou have fun on a PvP server are deluded if you think World PvP isa good thing. Games are now META driven and World PvP quickly evolves into how can we exploit and cheese the other faction and as soon as these exploits are eventually removed everyone stoos PvPing because now its magically its not as gun anymore and not worse it. AKA its a waste of time and leads to no character progression.
Would you rather Arena where there is rating and at least some skill measurement in a controlled environment? Or get ganked in a 1v5 in the open world? Thats why all the Classic PvP servers are 1 faction because back in Classic and TBC when one faction got the advantage of 60/40, the other faction quit because you were just getting ganked and bullied because you had less players. All MMO PVP ganes have failed in the last 10 years. These players who are world PvPers are a myth and theres like 5 of yous, No one likes it and all it does is lead to griefing and exploiting of the domenant faction and ends up making servers 1 sided.
