But they didn’t. It is 2021, people play the game. You want players happy? Just adapt to 2021 environment.
IMO, Blizz should do more changes like that. Jeez they are not nerfing characters or adding new content, they just balance gameplay experience. You just can’t justify 1,5h wait times in BG and then being smashed in Arenas.
Sure you can have merc mode, but then I would like my human warlock to get wotf at the same time.
An equally geared and skilled UD warlock will kill me 10/10 times simply due to a racial. Do you see me creating threads on that issue?
I knew the bg queues would be bad so I rolled alliance. Why didn’t you?
Because, it’s a known fact that a lot of horde rolled for the min-max.
Where is your facts that it’s not true?
The facts show that the horde queue is 1 hourish, why would this not be proof enough that a lot of people went to horde for it.
Some alliance on my realm for example rerolled to horde(using boost), simply for the slight advantage in arenas.
I think it’s just lore, natural affinity?
If it was me, I’d pick ali for NE racials. No - my community is more important to me.
hillarious how horde cry so much when in retail they don’t cry at all for their huge advtantage over alliance
I mean, if you were playing druid on alliance - you’d have no choice on what race to pick anyway lol.
Question is, why is it suddenly so much worse than it was on classic? What is the cause? I really only see racials as the cause atm
People also choosed sites because of lower que pop for alliance, too. Take this also into account, you guys seem to ignore that completly.
I just started horde with TBC, didnt played Classic. Probably, or maybe, other people, too?
Man, its theorycraftig at this point no one can proof. Instead of theorycrafting i’d like to see some more in depth arguments, because i realy, realy want to understand what so bad to balance it out with transfers or merc mode. Honestly. I don’t get it.
if its the way you discuss i just gonna mute you at this point.
“its a known fact” isnt realy based.
still ignoring the other side, the well known fact that people choosed because of que pop too.
Paid Faction changes for Horde only.
Alleviates the Queue problem, whilst helping Alliance population on PvP servers
Gives Blizzard a monetary incentive to help fix a player caused problem.
Well some for sure went ally for ques, problem is that it is obviously a minority, btw i think h -> a faction change is the best solution, merc would just mess up the game
Well I don’t follow streamers as I did in past but… they could have possible influence some players to roll their server/faction. Can’t tell.
Personally I just don’t find allince interesting enough race/lore wise.
In 2006 it felt there’s more Ali but that was maybe just on my server Shadow Moon / Drak’Thul but then it turned out Horde was bigger overall all servers combined.
Even in W3 I liked Horde campaigns more.
Dont take this as an Attack, please. I know its a sensible topic. Its a honest question:
You point is, that people wouldnt play alliance any longer, right? Thats something i respect and feel bad for the minorty. But, if people would go to horde, it means, the majority is good with merc mode? If not, they dont go to horde then.
So people here basicly trying to defend a minority playing alliance. Its okay, i respect that. Even if i have a different opinion and i couldnt care less about faction balance, as long as we can actualy play the game.
I never doubted that some people just rolled horde because they liked, but i am confised because the % of horde just seemingly skyrocketed on tbc. And only reason for that, are racials in my opinion.
Btw i dont think there are enough horde streamers on eu to influence such change
Well, i dont see any reason to reroll ally, up to wotlk, if they add merc mode. As the balance is horrible already, this would only make it worse, and i dont see a clear way to correct it woth merc.
Also i dont think minority should be ignored just because its minority, i dont think that is a good system
No, we wanted an old game if you like 2021 MMO go play shadowlands dumdum.
The question is, who is “We”?
Clearly not everyone wanted the original game with the massive flaws Blizz tried to fix, overcome in time.
Kay, we getting to it.
Well, yes. I can understand that. Ignoring the minority is no good democracy, ignoring the majority neither.
All we can pray for is that Blizzard comes up, best is yesterday, and provide free Transfers Horde to Alliance exclusive. Seems to be the best Solution for both sides. Lets pray.
The majority, who actually play the game and not boost a cow and complain about queue time on the forum.
Honestly - not an option I’d take. But definitely better than nothing and it would certainly have some impact.
