Yet sharding makes it so there’s like 10 times more Horde players in world pvp than Alliance players.
Now my question: Why did Blizzard waste time and ressources for such a crap system? Remove sharding from the game, only use it for expansion and patch release, what an absolute fiesta. All my characters are in different shards even despite being on the same realm, what a joke
PvP realms have not been a thing since Legion and warmode is not realm specific so yeah… why would they offer you better rewards for warmode if you were dominating anyway. The only place where you’ll be free of sharding is on RP realms.
If you want to be with your realm population more, you need to play in WM off. If you play in WM on you are sharded with just those that play in that mode.
All through BfA I played in WM on because of the power gain from AP and it gave us an extra 10%. As Anima has no power gain I don’t care about the extra. However the difference is noticeable. I see more Draenor players around me in WM off. In WM on it was people from all over the place plus it was russian roulette whether or not you were on a Horde or Alliance dominated shard. Sometimes you’d go to Mechagon and couldn’t move for Alliance. Other times it was all Horde.
