Warmode will make more people switch to horde

Warmode will make alliance lose even more players to the horde side.

So i just turned off warmode. Constantly getting outnumbered by 5 to one while trying to do world quests just takes to much time. I think this is getting very common on the alliance side.

It would not matter if it wasnt for the bonus people with warmode on get. So now there will be another strong reason for players to chose the horde side.

I really dont see Blizzards thinking here, faction imbalance has been a fact for a long time, and now they try to make it even worse?

So they can ring even more Faction Transfer money from people when they inevitably nerf the Horde racials and buff the Alliance ones with the pendulum swinging back. Just you wait.
I don't see a problem here, most of the Alliance plays with warmode turned off... let's just hope it will die ASAP.

The problem is that when a person wants to roll a new char, they will know there is a free 10% bonus on world quests as a horde player. Since there is no real competition its basically a pve bonus.

They should remove this bonus asap,there are already a number of reasons to chose horde for pve, it makes no sense that this "pvp" thing should add to the horde pve advantage.
the way this game is going related to factions i believe they will eventually remove the bonus since only 1 faction will get it or try to buff the alliance rewards which will change nothing considering a great part of the faction doesnt really care about wpvp. personally i was expecting this since i heard about warmode and how it works and i do hope it will be removed after BfA.

Removing would be the right thing to do. If they want to "keep face", they could remove all bonuses related to pve(factions,azerite...)and give a few extra honor points to the horde.
Bad players being contained in the horde is not a bad thing though, let them swap to blood elves.
We don't want them

GIT GUD KID!!!
I don't think racials is the problem if it was no1 would be horde. Look at void elf and dark iron racials most op pvp racials, human free stun trinket. People just seem to prefer playing horde

Welp... reading this makes me think back to the old days where my server was PvP server and where Stranglethorn Vale was the number one spot for leveling players to get ganked by high level players. This was back in The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lick King. Took me a while to figure out that world PvP has changed.

Just wanted to say that it's a fun read (sorry for side-tracking a bit) and also seeing how the mentality regarding world PvP has changed.
So is Blizzard doing anything about this? its pretty sad, I was looking forward to world PvP when I came back in BFA but its EXTREMELY unbalanced... Blizzard doesn't even share numbers about realm population so I cant choose a decent server. Already switched from an Alliance-heavy one to find myself in a Horde-heavy one. Why is this a thin? -,-

Afaik, your realm shouldn't matter in Warmode as now players from all realms will be placed in the same Warmode "realm"/zone phase.

Outland is one of extremely few Alliance dominated pvp realms though, so try playing there.
