Giving the under-represented faction a significantly higher reward is the best thing they can do. Nerfing racials obvious didn’t work after all these years.
What do you expect? blizzard points a gun at players’ head to force them to play alliance?
The faction imbalance has been too established over the years. No effort will bring back the balance. Thus, cross-faction, aka “removing faction” in pve is the only result.
War mode is not just for pvp players. it gives all players of the under represented faction more rep, ap, pve world quests rewards etc. And the “against overwhelming odds” quest gave gear to the minority faction.
In BFA, Alliance normally got 25% bonus for world quests reward, which means +25% gold, ap, rep depends on the quests. That is a HUGE bonus.
It is a very clever system that use dynamic balance, which means it automatically give under represented faction bonus as incentive, to let players achieve faction balance by themselves. But obviously players would rather gave up this bonus to stay at the established faction.
And blizzard has nerfed horde’s racials (orc, troll, blood elf, etc.) over the years in order to make balance in high end pve, but they didn’t work.
What do you propose? remove all racials of all races? directly rewarding alliance players gold, mounts, pets, transmog? making mythic raids easier for alliance? Which are obviously not realistic.
Give me 1 logical method that you think we can achieve faction balance.
You mentioned 1 thing WM nothing else which was aimed at PVP players.
Also you mentioned no facts as you have no offical blizzard statements or resources to show at all.
Not going to accept your answer when you have said nothing honest or factual and refuse to back up anything you say and rely on WM to try and save your poor views.
At this point i think you are trolling and offer nothing to the thread.
War mode is the best method for achieving faction balance. And it was Blizzard’s last attempt.
If war mode doesn’t work, nothing else will. Thus, the cross-faction came.
Tell me your genius solution. A hard lock on character creation? nobody can make horde anymore until the server is 50/50? direct money reward to alliance players?
The faction balance on classic is better than on retail but please show me all your facts ive been waiting 10 posts for and all your other facts and systems that blizzard bought in.
I say again how do WM help Ali players in PVE with raids and dungeons ?
Show me when they did free faction change on retail thanks .
Show me when they did FCM from dead realms to full realms like they did for classic thank you.
There is over 50 dead realms (english speaking ones alone) so your point about the connections is moot.
Create a allied race alliance character on their server, log in, collect gold, log out, repeat for all other carries in group, log main, get summon, kil bosses, repeat.
