Thats a fairly recent change, a couple expansions ago warmode was so dominated by horde that alliance dident even exist. It got so bad that blizz had to bribe ally with extra rewards to even flag up n even that barely helped.

Why is it suddenly a problem now? Warmode isnt supposed to be freebie rewards. Make a 5 man team with some freinds n you can easily secure those chests if you want them. I play horde myself atm because i love the wPvP.

Ally going for those chests dont expect to fight for them so it tends to be an absolute slaughter.

Ally still get bonus rewards because there are still more hordes in warmode than alliance, the hordes just dont fight but sit here on the forum complaining instead which creates the illusion of there being 300 allys per 1 horde.

I really wonder how horde suddenly became the entitled sissy faction. Horde dominated BG´s for like a decade n not a word was said n ally dominate it for a couple expansions n suddenly people demand blizzard intervention.

5/6 Chests I got were Horde.
Horde seems to care more for chests, but for actual fights?
Alliance is always on top.

Bro, EVERY ,i repeat so u understand, EVERY WAR CHEST fight is dominated by aliance. 10,20 aliance vs 2.3 hordes MAX, and NO i dont wana group for a war chest ,i just wana solo and that is imposible because on the map there are no hordes whith WM on.
I want balance miself, but how it is now …they just gutted horde completly from WM , I have no efing clue why horde dont turn WM on, all are PVE i dont know ,but man its super frustating… why there is WM if only 1 faction takes advantages from it?

Check the top 10 characters for every spec in the game, everyone is Alliance because of Shadowmeld. The 2/3 class that don’t use meld have the best racials in Alliance also.
So everyone invested in pvp is playing Alliance.
And even if you don’t care about racials, if you don’t wanna lose every bg and get killed by 20 ppl in warmode just switch faction.

As i said, im almost only playing horde currently so im well aware that ally dominates the warchests. The whole point of warmode is to fight other people though not flying around looting free stuff without a fight, that is infact the entire reason i started playing horde as opposed to alliance myself.

The loot from those chests are terrible to begin with n not really worth chasing if you dont enjoy fighting for them. For a very long time horde racials were far superior for PvP which made the PvP playerbase main horde, then the horde racials were nerfed n nightelf became the new dominant one n now the serious PvPers are on ally side.

There will never be faction balance no matter what n there is not anything blizzard can do about it to change this. If they nerf ally racials horde will be back to picking free chests but the problem still remains.

Alot of hordes are in warmode but choose to not fight, that goes for alliance too. Majority of the people in warmode dont want to fight but just want free bonus rewards. I think that is the fundamental issue with it more than anything.

I never take warmode off myself as horde n 90% of the time i just fly around solo picking herbs, mining n murdering people i encounter n i barely even experience this alliance supremacy unless i want to go for warchests. If its late at night ill try to do it solo but if its during peak hours n i want to fight for chests ill bring some freinds.

First of all you cant force people to play warmode. You have to suck it up and deal with it.

Secondly, I remember in the prepatch event you could lvl up as alliance with WM on almost all of the time. But sometimes the horde players showed up and quickly took over. Maybe its hard to compare the pre event with the chest drop fights but at the moment horde players themselves are the reason for why the Alliance is winning more IMO.

Horde is preferred by gold farmers, and they are grouping up on servers in WM. So there are probably plenty of Horde in your phasing… they are just grouped up elsewhere, rather than playing the game normally.

I dont understand why all the good players abandoned the Horde…
WOW = Horde and always will.
But at this point Horde can’t even take a WSG flag…

On my realm (Argent Dawn) there’s 55000 Alliance players vs 15000 from Horde, so yeah 3 Alliance for every 1 Horde is not an illusion, those are factual numbers. There are websites where you can check the population on each realm if you’re curious.

I am surprised myself too, I’ve seen 2 guys literally sweeping Orgrimmar killing auctioneers and basically every NPC in sight while everyone but myself was just watching or running away.

The Horde is not what it used to be, sadly…

I primarly play horde myself on argent dawn currently so im well aware of the situation! RP realms were always ally dominated for the simple fact that orgrimmar is a complete dump.

I actually prefer alliance for their cities n such but i mostly play horde because of the “issues” you described hehe. We´ve defended orgrimmar countless times against significant numbers. I´ve not been to ogrimmar in quite a while now though since its a new expansion. Generally dont start going back to cities till im bored of the open world n warmode!

To me always having people to fight is a bonus, not a disadvantage! Defias Brotherhood is also part of our cluster n has a fair bit of hordes that does PvP aswell.

I want to point out aswell that yes 55k ally n 15k horde sounds accurate enough overall, but its far from all of those who flag up for warmode. Huge majority from both sides dont go into warmode. Being part of the underdog faction is alot more interesting for me but i still wish i could play ally n just attack both factions in warmode.

The initial hype has died down aswell for warchests so its perfectly reasonable to secure them as horde now even solo or with a freind or two. I rarely bother with chests anymore since the rewards are rather irrelevant but a sneaky method you can utilize if you absolutely want warchests for whatever reason n dont want to fight over them is BFA. BFA still has war caches n for some buggy reason they give the exact same loot as the TWW ones.

An unfortunate consequence of writing the Horde to be the ‘bad guys’. It just encourages role-players to play the ‘good guys’ and so they end up vastly outnumbering the opposition.

Blood Elves worked to mitigate the problem for a decent amount of time and they proved highly appealing, though adding Void Elves to the Alliance lured away most of those who just wanted to play a good looking Elf.

I don’t think it has anything to do with being “the bad guys”, it’s way more simple, Human race are more appealing for humans because that’s what we are, so we feel somewhat identified inside the game. On top of that, Alliance areas are just better overall, Elwynn Forest is good, Stormwind is incredible, the aesthetic, the music, the lore… meanwhile Orgrimmar sucks and everything in the continent is red and there is almost no vegetation outside some specific areas.

I agree about the Blood Elves though, the reason the game is infested by BE is because that’s the most humanoid race the Horde has ever had, so applying the same rule I said above, people feel more indentified with their character and they choose to play as that.

That also explains why the least humanoid races are underrepresented, like Goblins, Orcs, Worgen…

im counting about 20-30 alliance chests in a row, idk where can u get multiple horde warchests …
i haven’t seen a horde chest in about a week
