If only there was a way to get instant queues

It will change for those players who transfer, are u stupid or something? Each individual that transfer will get shorter queue time.
didnt blizz make BGs crossrealm for faster ques for horde?
Yeah I’m sure a lot of players would PAY to be weaker in every different part of the game. lulw.
No, you wouldn’t. You are just dishonest. You wouldn’t be playing a weaker race for any logical reason other than you love how female gnomes look.
If you would, you would play alliance in the first place. Because the fact that horde will have long BG queue times were no secret to anyone before classic launched. There are videos by many content creators that were made in 2018 saying that horde will have long queue times. I made a post in 2018 on the forums that faction imbalance will cause massive griefing for alliance players and long queue times for horde players. It was NOT a secret. Everybody knew that this will happen, whoever is saying that they didn’t is either lying because of self interest or were living under a rock. It was basically said in every platform, every single day.
One last thing: g o To r e T a i L
The fact is that it won’t.
If it will be a 2-way transfer, I can guarantee you that in 1 month it will be 99% horde and 1% alliance. And as we all can figure out, a paid transfer will certainly be a 2-way option.
If it is only FROM horde TO alliance, it will maybe even out the balance by 1 or 2 percent at best. So your queue times will be 29 minutes instead of 30.
Also, as I mentioned above, BGs aren’t really that important in TBC. BG rewards are lackluster so people will mostly play it for fun. None wants a massive change to the whole game for such a minor issue.

I rather pay to be weaker than doing NO PVP at all! Unless you aim to get 2k+ in arena the racials on Alliance are fine.
Back in TBC Alliance was the popular faction (thanks lotr) Funny how that flipped over the years. Obvious faction change aside, the only solution is making mercing an option from Horde side only. I understand why people don’t want it. I’m used to long queue times and it is what it is.
You have trouble reading? The transfer should only be open to the less populated faction!
Lol you cant tell me what I would do. Yes I would switch easily. Not everyone knows evertyhing ahead of time. Im a casual player and didnt bother looking into videos and such. Again only reason i played horde is because friends played here and told me to join horde. I personally dont give a damn about racials or looks or anything. What I do care about is not waiting 30 minutes to just play the game 
So yes, if paid faction change is available, I would use it easily.
Oh and your opinion on my choice means nothing lol

No this is not the “only” solution… Let those who can’t stand the queues like me transfer to Alliance. And only keep transfers open from Horde to Alliance.
You wouldn’t have to do that if we could merc Alliance BG’s.
This could cause an even bigger increase in Horde population, and a reduction in Alliance population. Shouldn’t the goal be to maintain an even population between factions?
This is why transfer to the less populated faction is the best solution to this.
It fix population imbalance.
It reduces queue times for Horde.
WIN WIN
no, that service is killer of BG.

Other than faction change what other solution is there? These threads pop daily but no one is offering any sound solution other than “do something”.
And the game won’t change because of your lack of interest or care. You as a player adapt to the game, not the other way around.
You didn’t make your research and made a bad choice? You reroll. This is how it works.
And the fact that 90% of horde players are playing undead and orcs prove that most people knew what they signed for.
What you care about is your self interest and primitive desires. What we care about is the balance and integrity of the game for everyone.
Tell me then what is the downside playing a horde character at all? There is only ONE advantage of the alliance players in the game atm for playing the minority faction in TBC. Tell me ONE disadvantage of playing a horde.
Why discuss other solutions when this is the BEST solution? I just wish everyone could agree on this.
The best solution at this point is a big #nochanges and y’all go back to retail.
UH I DIDNT KNOW SO I PICKED WRONG FACTION - FACTION CHANGE
DUH I DIDNT KNUW I PICKX WRUNG RACE - RACE CHANGE
WAH I DUNT HEF TAIME TO FARM - WOW TOKEN
I PICKX MY TELENTS WRUNG HELP - no respecc costs
I DUN WUNO SPEND 40 MINS FOR A GRP - LFG
This needs to stop.

the title of this thread pretty much says it all.
its not “blizz should do something about BG times”
its " We need to do something about bg queue times "
yes
Population imbalance is NOT good for the game. Get that into your head. There are already many changes and this is not for you to decide. This is a new issue that were not apparent in vanilla, so it needs to get fixed. Population imbalance will only get worse over time as proven in retail…
It’s not only bad for queue times, it also bad for landscape questing… Landscape PVP also improves with a more even population.
Blizzard said they need to fix obvious issues that comes to surface in Classic, and this is such an issue we currently have in the game!
Thats what you think. But the solution is good, and blizz will love it as well because it benefits them. Ill remember you the day i pay for my transfer, and will laugh xD

any its for you to decide?
this is not a new issue, horde a few months ago had up to 2 hour queues for AV, much worse than now.
