In its current state, Ratchet is horde territory. Bruisers are virtually non-existent and Hordes can unflag at any time.
That’s a problem when the alliance is forced to go there to this current extent. It’s a shared city, but it feels like Alliance players are handing in quests in Orgrimmar.
Ratchet feels for Alliance as it feels because of how Hillsbard feels for Horde.
I’ve personally rolled a rogue just to get back at Alliance for Hillsbard.

I’ve not once seen Horde camping entrance to BFD while Alliance does it all the time #Living Flame
Toxicity creates toxicity.
Thats down to faction balance more than anything else. 60/40 is just not healthy enough, should have went at least 55 45.
Its just more likely for the majority faction to become cocky and reckless when on average its more likely for your own faction to be around the corner to bail you out.
Ya know, I get ganked for going deadmines. For going duskwood. For going wetlands.
It’s what happens when you play a PvP server and going into enemy territories to do dungeons or get runes.
I don’t care, horde has to go to Wetlands to farm gold and contest the bots and their paid protectors. I’m happy you get busted when you fly there.
on Crusader Strike EU I’ve seen more horde camping Astrannar East and between Astranaar and Darkshore. Was sometimes annoying to do quests on my alts. Gathered a group of casual world pvp. it was 30 vs 40 well geared horde players.
I’ve seen of posts, enemy faction doing stuff better than ours and I think most of that comes from resentment/hate due to their encounters. For example, pvp event. Did around 10-12 runs of the Ashenvale pvp event. The score is around even.
Ratchet got some significance in SoD phase 1. Would nice to have functional guards in ratchet as now a lot of players just fight me in a city. Had a dungeon group and we were just being dotted non stop and we just stayed as a ghost form.
There’s guard in ratchet. There’s no need to add more.
If you get camped, simply take the spirit with 10mn sickness and HS / run out. It’s not that hard.
Ratchet is an Horde city, despite being Neutral.
As Alliance, I expect to die over and over when I come here. It’s part of our journey
