A question to the complaining Alliance over horde fix

[Prispreed-earthfury]

I agree Horde needs a solution. I’ve been going around preaching a solution that mainly focuses on making sure the world is still interesting and cool (without silly masks or a faction fighting itself)

Let’s be constructive. Let’s fix queue times and faction balance without turning the classic world into a speedily gratifying lobby game like everything else out there.

This is obviously an ambitious solution whereas the strengths of horde v horde are how robust and obviously simple to implement it is, so I’m open to new ideas and suggestions. Anyways I’ll quote my proposed solution below:

@Prispreed-earthfury

I hate the idea that Horde can get “honor” through playing with themselves; honor should come from putting your life and resources at risk and taking the fight to the enemy! Does no one care about feeling immersed or telling stories to themselves as they play the game?

I was thinking that players should be able to queue in a merc mode within a goblin city where they get a currency that could be spent in goblin cities for pvp gear there. Except instead of your race being changed temporarily ala retail, you keep your race the whole time (an orc could fight for the silversong sentinels in wsg) but would be flagged with a debuff as a “traitor” for some time after the BG and both factions could target and kill that player in the open world for honor.

This would also help with faction imbalance on pvp servers since many horde would temporarily be dispossessed from their majority in open world pvp with the “traitor” debuff if they want a faster queue.

I also think it would be cool because it would draw world pvp to the old world and the neutral cities where mercs would queue, would have exciting fights between traitors, horde, alliance, and goblin bruisers, and would have that classic feel since there would be world pvp without flying mounts.
