This is a nicely summed up topic.
My personal belief is that everyone is missing the mark with what people are complaining about, itās not wpvp, itās not even imbalance of factions or racials - itās the perfect storm. Even at 50/50 I suspect wpvp encounters would be more horde than alliance but the sheer population size has exacerbated the problem, thereās seemingly no let up for the underrepresented faction.
Iām on Golemagg and itās clear thereās more horde, as a mage I have a better time of things and Iām not really one to complain, I like wpvp and donāt need to go far to find it, sometimes not even outside of IF.
Most people commenting on forums are morons whoās suggestion is āget a groupā, thatās fine, no problem at all but escalate that and the larger faction can always call the larger groupā¦ seems obvious? 60/40 will always at best result in a 3v2, 6v4, 9v6 and so on.
My feeling as others have said is thereās no āfixā but if there was to be one, my suggestion would be this;
Split the servers;
Golemagg1
Golemagg2
Golemagg3
Etc etcā¦
Character creation would see them as all the same realms so no duplication of names etc (if they need to re-merge in future)
To introduce it, everyone gets assigned a new server in game, ahead of the change and has until a a certain point to pick which one they want to move to - after the cutoff date Blizz can assess to make sure pops looking right (maybe have guild options for choices so whole guild gets same assignment?) and make sure the split looks good before implementing - if it doesnāt they revise the cut off maybe forcing some to repick until split looks good - this way, if players do drop off in future, easy to merge back in without people getting salty about changing names etc - horde/ally imbalance wonāt change but the frequency will - 1 Gank squad running round rather than 3 etc
My feeling is that the mega servers are here to protect us as players in the future when people do quit so there arenāt dead servers but itās just unwieldy at the moment and is inevitably leading to people leaving.
Also, as people have said - GL opening AQ without alliance, BG ques for horde will be awful (Even with cross realm) and thatās a shame as I had always intended to alt a horde on another server as I played horde in vanilla.
