Same faction battlegrounds -- e.g. Horde vs Horde - like RBGs

It’s just baffling to me how many people are almost defending these insane queue times, I’m not asking for much, I just want a solution to the long queue times that won’t affect any other part of the game.

This is why I proposed HvH and AvA being optional, it won’t change the demographics other than bringing people back who didnt want to be there in the first place and only swapped because the queues are so long. It even exists in Arena, and Rated PvP in general so there’s not really a “yeah but the lore” argument - and you even get to play the race you chose, if I wanted to become an alliance when I entered a BG I would’ve already swapped my faction…

The overall faction ration is close to 50/50… “death to the alliance” lol… If you like Alliance just go PVE server if ur bothered by getting ganked.

No one is forcing anyone. You are choosing it. You personally as an individual can make a different choice and solve your queue issue and the community as a whole can solve it by making different choices. And everyone can DEAL WITH IT no matter what they choose. it’s a QUEUE, a queue. We queue all the time for all kind of reasons and games and stuff. It’s a normal function and is working as intended. It’s an important tool to even out the faction balance.

It doesn’t even out the factions, the imbalance is still there and the majority has to endure 1,5 hours queues. No one wants to re-roll Alliance or queues would have gotten better.

We will continue asking for a solution to this, and you fail every argument. Because “DEAL WITH IT” or REROLL isn’t an option for us.

People relate to horde and beeing loyal for 15 years.
We DONT choose our race because of meta and que pop times.

GET THAT you dellusional beeing living on a pink cloud or whatever.

This is such a dumb take, you’re completely ignoring the reason why the factions are imbalanced and instead just saying “play the faction you dont want to play or don’t play BGs at all because you have to wait an absurd 1.5hrs”

Wait a sec. If it 50/50 then where is 1h que coming from?
Entire Alliance just one day decided to not play?

And he will repeat it the next 3 hours because thats the only argument left for them.

They ignore people play horde because they grew up with horde.
Instead we could chase the meta and choose alliance.
How dirty that would be.

Because Alliance prefer PVE over PVP. Less Alliance queue for BGs

Oh you don’t want 1.5 hr queues? Go alliance :frog:
But your friends are horde? Go alliance or wait in queue :frog:
You don’t like the race and just want to play the race you chose? Go alliance, its your fault :frog:

Yeah man I grew up playing horde, I didn’t know the BG queues where 1.5hr until I just hit 70, I saw they was like 40m at lower levels and thought “jesus, atleast It’ll be higher at 70” but boy was I wrong

but…

:thinking:
Now I’m lost.

reroll alliance and stop crying. Level again, lose motivation on the road and quit your sub.
… or so i would answer if i would be an ignorant fool

Just pay money to “solve” a bad game design issue :frog:
Pay money to be the faction and race you dont want to be :frog:
You wanted faster queues right? :frog:

Sad part is I’ve considered it, even though I much prefer horde. But even then what will that solve? Alliance will have the same issue in wrath and horde will have the faster queues.

Just stay, what you grew up with and beeing loyal with it.

Its the most honest thing you could do.

Just convince all your friends to pay 30 euro to change to a faction non of you want to be eles suffer 1.5 HOUR queues :frog:

Ask Blizzard for a Refund. Ofc it wont happen but like that we fire the problem to the end, where it can reach out to people. Thats probably the best bet here.

It could be free also. PvPers choosing horde in mass isn’t a design flaw. It’s just a population issue. Some wise guys here say that you should have seen it coming, but come on who thought about TBC bgs when rolling their first characters for classic.

But yeah queues are definitely faster after taking the boost to the other side. Faction change could do the same for you.
