The Alliance Faction on Herod, once an emblematic Alliance server, has apparently decided to transfer out of the server following Blizzard’s implementation of Same Faction BG’s.
Apparently, a large number of the remaining Alliance decided to buy a boost and go Horde to get both imba racials as well as zero queue times. The remaining Alliance thought it out and saw that Same Faction BG’s were the straw that broke the Camel’s back, so 7 or 8 of the biggest and most important guilds have decided to transfer out.
A farewell party was hosted last night in IF and Alliance players are transferring off the server as we speak.
Big thread on Reddit.
Congrats Blizzard, you did it.
QUOTE (A redditor’s post on the situation)
Because they’re outnumbered 4-1 in the open world and the same faction queue test is proof that faction balance is a foregone conclusion so rather than waiting hoping for a fix major alliance guilds are just going to stack on an alliance majority server and call it a day.
There is no faction balance coming, if your experience is poop because you’re a minority faction your only choices are to quit, reroll horde or stack on the one alliance majority server forcing the remaining horde out. Server transfers are a thing, faction changes arent - ergo alliance will begin stacking.
I mean how did people not see this coming? The majority of the playerbase is just sheep, following whatever is most OP, Blizzard’s track record of catering to Horde is kinda appauling though
Glad they got their fill of all the broken Ally advantages during Classic so they could finally join the fotm faction of this expansion. Didn’t see anyone crying about this in Classic though
They did what they had to do, they will be better on an same faction dominated realm in that case Alliance just they need to make sure any horde players on their Alliance realm is pushed to another realm or off the game too. No mercy asked ,none given !
People point at most played races in Arena teams, but I have yet to read a reasoned explanation why Escape artist, Perception and Stone form are inferior to Will of the Forsaken and Orc stun resistance.
Noggenfogger EU is also dying as we speak. Current balance is 80:20 H:A, most guilds transferred off in the last few days, the rest of us are to follow soon.
But…but this can’t be happening because everyone loves HvH?
Hold on, the only issue is horde BG queue times right? It’s not even going to impact the game this change, not even one bit…if anything it’s going to boost blizzards subs right?
Gandling guilds transferred a few weeks back to Earthshaker and Golemagg but that was down to lack of players and having to spend 30+ minutes finding a group to dungeons. Blizzard should just merge realms as they clearly have more realms than they actually need with all the dead servers out there.
Edit. also id like to know where all the zug zugs saying stuff like this wouldn’t happen are? prob waiting in a queue for WSG little a good little zug zug.
