Its not OG vs retail…
Its alliance being childish about a positive change because they think it will kill there faction which it wont
please bring it back, waiting 1 hr to complete daily quest to face alliance premade and lose in 2 minutes this is riddiculous
it is more probably, that “either you are” a troll or a kid.
You want, that the other players of the same game have a worse experience than you have, because they play the opponent faction.
Seems like the definition of “childish” or “toxic”.
And sry, but on my Server Venoxis I was ganked some times in open world while farming or leveling. That is the main reason for me to attack alliance players now.
Welcome to TBC classic retail. Game over.

HvH queues has killed alliance pvp server populations. It’s not about racials or wpvp. Convincing them that ally racials are better, which is not true, will not stop them transferring servers. We have been watching the servers observably die with our own eyes in the last two weeks and it all started with trade chat about hvh bgs. Whether the fearmongering was justified or a self-fulfilling prophecy, it has become reality and now alliance pvp populations are snowballing on a downward spiral and creating dead servers that were once healthy if imbalanced two weeks ago.

It’s been over a week since the bluepost and longer since rumours started. This Monday, the guild I was in transferred. Next week, the guild I was going to join will transfer. Now the guild I’m currently in is talking about transferring. That is just the guilds I had personal contact with. Some random in bg I asked about arenas was like, nah, we’re transferring after reset. Alliance is completely demoralised because they removed the only incentive for new players to reroll/join. No new players, no future. It’s a snowball effect and it won’t stop or reverse unless activision cancels this retail-like game-breaking change.

The Herod server quite literally died over the course of a week with pretty much every major guild leaving.

COMEON GUYS thing allitle bid. We all play one game, no one has to wait 30 40 50 even 10 minets for BGs. Evryone has to play what they want (aliance or horde). YES SAME FRACTION BGs ARE GOOD
aren’t they pve guilds? did they just go “oh it seems horde can do bgs now, better transfer somewhere else”
either you are bsing or (most likely) correlating two unrelated events that just happened at the same time
Never posted anything on here… But please fix the ques again for horde. I never enjoyed wow tbc so much since i was a kid these last days. Now i grew up and work and just have 2 - 3 hours game time in the evening. I wanne do more then 4 bgs. Will take months to get some gear pieces…
I appreciate everyone. Nice to see such civil discourse.
I feel you and completelly agree. For working people, it is really dissapointing (and not really worth it) to wait for 30+ minutes for a single BG that takes 5 minutes in which you lose. It’s really making me just want to unsubscribe until it gets to WOTLK times where Alliance actually get Insignia as a racial, so they can’t cry about having worse racials. Overall it seems much like whining to me which very much shows the thinking the modern community (makes me sad) - only play if you have advantage or equal chance. Disadvantage does not mean you have to give up, you can just try harder and beat em anyways. 
That’s too bad, the game is about time investment. Making changes because some people prioritize other stuff is not a good reason to make changes that ruins the game for people who wants to play the good old version. It’s CLASSIC. Go play retail if you don’t have time. It’s ridiculous to cry for changes to suit YOUR playtime.
It’s supposed to be an MMORPG. Not a free for all, welfare ‘i want things for free’.
You have retail for that purpose. There everything’s handed to you.
