What would be needed for your faction surrender to be acceptable?

Didn’t really bother reading them all, as the ratio was evident. Just counted the faction symbols:

Discounting them doesn’t change the balance nor tilt it to either side to the point it validates the claim that the Horde “has more areas than the Alliance”.

Anyway, this is how the situation is as of now ingame:

EK
Alliance
Redridge Mountains
Duskwood
Westfall
Loch Modan
Wetlands
Dun Morogh
Elwynn Forest
Gilneas

Horde
Hillsbrad
Tirisfal
Ghostlands
Silverpine
Eversong Woods

KALIMDOR
Alliance
Darkshore
Teldrassil
Azuremyst Isle
Bloodmyst Isle

Horde
N. Barrens
Mulgore
Durotar
Azshara
Echo Isles

Still don’t see it. It remains practically the same once you address collectively the areas that are within wider territories.

In short, Cataclysm did balance the zones (as well as addressing the obvious flaws in the Horde questing system). Pushing for an absolute reversal, would mean to return to a more unbalanced situation.
