Solution to faction imbalance

Someone needs to call this man a doctor, stat, he’s laughed so hard his backside has fallen off, or at least he’s prolapsed!

But the “I say everyone else is wrong so everyone else knows I’m right” argument is generally the province of Primary school children, you do know that, right?

I can’t imagine for a moment why such a level headed and sensible poster would get banned from there, I mean, it isn’t like you are the sort of person who called women financial commodities is it? Oh, wait, yeah you did.

You mean your initial post? Yes, I quite agree.

You’re not even trying to hide the fact you just don’t like Blood Elves there. Though interestingly Barbie is supposed to be Human, should I change my Human female character then?

ahahahah…No.

So all those people who had forced race and faction changes swap back then, if you’re reverting the changes?

How do you even see that working?

That’s a tautology. If you support something, you support it, you don’t need the unironically bit. Besides, that would just destroy the Horde, not only in terms of numbers, but the very Faction Ethos. Perhaps they should have changed the recruitment blurb for Huojin Pandaren.
“The Proud and Honourable Horde, The loosely allied Nations of the Horde are an alliance of misfits standing against a world that would do them harm, oh and being Ugly, There is an Ugly-ometer in Grommash Hold that all races must fit by, if they are too ‘pretty’ then they can’t join. Moral codes are secondary to appearance, plus we all have massive self-loathing if we see our own species as being ugly”

Makes no sense.

Anybody else get the impression that they have a bit of an unhealthy fixation with Barbie? Maybe they secretly wanted one as a kid, but their parents kept buying them Action Man dolls instead?

AKA “I have no reasonable answer to your statement”

Which is why it is an incredibly foolish ‘solution’

What the Heck? Alliance ones are already better! 1-10 years? where are you pulling these figures from?

“I have the greatest ideas, many people say the greatest ideas in the world, many people applaud them, bigly, I am the smartest Paladin there ever was, everyone says so. People come up to me and say ‘Your ideas are so amazing’, they say that, they really do. Bigly”

“Tells someone to stop pretending they care about the game, whilst insulting one of the two faction’s playerbases” Hmm, something’s not quite right here…

That is gonna be one happy dog when it realises it fell on the floor beside it’s head!

Only as long as it took game mechanics for the next raid to favour Horde racials, it has always been that way with raiding guilds, they min-max, unfortunately what you then get is those players who are easily swayable who watch their videos going “ooh, I must Faction change” We saw it during Cata, where every man and their maiden aunt and pet dog went flocking to Alliance.
People need to realise that those top end raiders don’t -care- about what faction they are on. They just want to ‘beat’ the game, so will go with whatever is easiest. People need to start playing the game for themselves, not to copy the latest youtube fad mythic guild.

Blizzard didn’t make the problem, players did.

Some exemptions may apply*

*Vulpera

Yikes to the furry part.

void elves with the upcoming skin tones.

I have a better system:

  • You apply to me for access.
  • If I like your character name, I issue a Warmode access wrist-band for your character - it goes in Wrist slot, ilvl equivalent of 500 in today’s money unless you’re a Rogue in which case it’s 400 ilvl.
  • I make sure balance is very slightly in favour of Alliance (unless I’m on my Horde alt obv)

Vulpies are just the bestest thing. :star_struck:

and become part of the problem. You’re a genius.

Stop bumping the Thread… (I know the Irony)

Ralph and Retributor-Threads cant be taken serious.

your incorrect here. WoD pressed the top 5% to move for racials. the percieved concept of being the majoirty is what drove the rest across.

U’ve admitted it. i’ve said it, everyone has aknowledged it, the Premade group finder on the horde is Simply MORE active then alliance. that is by far Hordes LARGEST advantage. Players want groups.

its nothing to do with Racials, its Nothing to do with Belves. its EVERYTHING to do with popularity, regardless of what players Say they want. they want to be the Majority

the Games entire purpose is on the back of having players to play with, why wouldnt you maximise the Player pool for yourself. its so easy to understand and i really dont understand how to this point you dont understand it.

a LARGE draw to a MMORPG is the Social aspects of the game for a Large majority of its playerbase. So why would u NOT maximise that part of the game for urself.

If Alliance take the top 5%, it’ll be Again percieved as the Majority of the playerbase and people will swap. nothing to do with “The Normal Raiding Scene NEEDS to bne alliance”. it is really easy.

If Mythic raiders Move faction.

Mythic Guilds need to move Faction. Why? because the people they need to recruit just Jumped fence to the alliance.

If new Mythic raiders want to be able to join said Guild

They need to move faction as the Mythic guilds just jumped fence to the other faction.

Its a Circling concept which leads into the Popularity disparity problems.

we will subconciously continue to imbalance the Factions In either Direction. Races wotn stop this. Aesthetic wont stop this. nothing will stop this.

THe Path of Least resistance is More Reachable if ur playing the Majority. look at every part of this game.

  • When Alliance were the leading Faction. Horde Suffered.
  • WHen half the guilds are made. they’re 1000 Member cesspools
  • when WoD happened everyone Left even now with nerfed racials they STILL move.
  • First Tier raid in SL is proven to be easier on the alliance yet THEY STILL MOVING.
  • PvP Servers grew to being entirely one faction and this went for alliance dominated Servers too.

People will forever, optimise their game to be as Efficent as possible. because we have Real lives and we want to be able to walk in get our stuff done and log off. thats Easier to do when ur a Dominating majority. it becomes Harder for that person the closer the faction disparity Depletes.

So if u buff Alliance racials. are do something to intentionally drive top tier players to the alliance they will Swap. the Mythic raiders Will swap because they are trying to apply to those guilds.

Lower mythic guilds will follow those Mythic raiders to the alliance to keep their Applicant Levels as high as Possible. as the guild would COLLASP if it doesnt get any traction from new raiders.

This would bleed into the casual Dungeon/Raiding playerbase as they swap due to the perception of Alliance being the new majority. and they will want to be involved with the M+ Runs and everything that goes with being a Majority.

there is no golden fix for a 50/50 Split. it doesnt exist WOW has LITTERALLYT never had a 50/50 split

heres the difference, back when WoW held 10million players it wasnt noticable. it didnt matter. When group finders and Cross Server play and more didnt exist it Didnt matter. all that mattered was ur Server total. not precesily ur faction popularity.

We’ve lost 6million players to the game.
We’re now Cross server playing highlighting problems

the problems ALWAYS Existed. its just todays Systems Highlight it More then ever now then they used to when the game had such a Large population a Disparity didnt matter.

this games never been 50/50 not even close. its Just now with a SMaller playerbase and with the PuG Gameplay Becoming so popular that it now matters so much more.

W/e you say furry lover…

You don’t need to balance races if there are no racials to balance :thinking:

Uhm… okay?

I can handle it…

If we do that, let’s change all Alliance elves to humans as well… it’s only fair.

They’re already high elves and they don’t like Alliance. Get over it.

Don’t push it.
