Yeah, at this point, I think, Blizzard should start from nerfing racials, then provide free transfers to Alliance even with bonuses for groups of friends or unique tmog/mounts.
What is Horde vs Alliance population in total rn, like 70% vs 30%?
Best racial changes every season based on the meta anyway.
Racials imo should be disabled or made a fourth talent with BALANCED options but for whatever reason, Blizzard have never done this. When they added pvp talents it was imo a perfect time to do it.
Especially when you have to play a spec like Assa rogue when NE is head and shoulders above any other racial or in the current meta where orc is just stupid.
Well, they made it so itâs the same percentage cutoff, but instead of being the percentage of all players in the ladder, itâs instead only of the players on your faction in the ladder.
Which means, for hordeâs cutoff to be lower despite having more players, theyâve either got fewer at the very top thus pushing the hordeâs top lower than the allianceâs top, or horde has so many more players that it puts the cutoff that much lower.
Well, it was put in during a time when Alliance both had more players and a lot more of the r1 spots.
Tbh they should really just revert the change to the cutoffs, and focus more on racials. Because the outcome now is a classic example of having treated the symptom, not the cause.
Unfortunately -
thatâs because of RP reasons.
Itâs not impossible to do that suggestion though, but theyâd have to create a narrative where itâd make sense for players to pick other racesâ racials for their PvP clashes yet still not be able to use it out in the âworldâ.
Or they can just create PvP-only servers with PvP-only abilities and PvP-only talents like they shouldâve done a long time ago, with account-wide achievements providing access to rewards on the ârealâ characters on the ârealâ realms.
It makes absolutely ZERO sense for PvE changes to mess up PvP, and PvP getting treated like second-class citizens that always gets treated like an afterthought.
Cross faction arenas are long overdue tbh, even cross faction gameplay in general.
Ion said in an interview with Preach that something big is going to come in 9.2. So maybe itâs even coming with SL? Or do we already know what it is? And if they donât bring it with the next expac we can only shake our heads.
There are many ppl who donât like the idea of xfaction. But if they change warmode a little bit, they might be able to make it work for everyone.
