on lavalash, the alliance is way more populated (75% or so), they win almost every WSG, Ash,… overall they seem more organized. In PVP they always have more healers which is probably due to a bigger player base.
Never played Alliance above lvl 15, I just can’t do it, feels wrong seeing my zugzug friends on the other side of the battle. So I cannot compare it well enough.
Battlegrounds are realm connected. Which means that you play against players from other servers in your region.
Alliance and Horde are the same.
Do yourself a favor. If you enjoy pvp, don’t join alliance. In AB, the meta for alliance is to go direct farm, and they don’t want to defend other flags. And if you try to explain that you need 3+ flags to win, you are just wasting your time. The new alliance players are clueless about the bgs. Should change rewards from bgs, win=3 marks, lost=nothing, maybe then meme alliance would play for real. Faction change would be a bless.
Can’t blame them for the insta bubble though. In this meta they know they would explode in 2 sec without it lol
