Uhm…why would this cause guilds to faction transfer? The running contention forever has been hat horde racials are to strong of an advantage. This 1 extra piece of gear per week is supposed to make up for that?
Seems…unlikely. Unless the feedback on horde racials was just whining all along.
I don’t mean that as a dig against Alliance, it’s just all this talk about “top end” players switching for racials of all things (the abilities not the physical appearance even) is just silly, and a bit sad.
and yet a bunch of previously alliance guilds have followed there example.
or did you think that magically the mass majority of top guilds and players all just magically selected horde?
that somehow when flipping a coin the top end players all just magically landed on horde?
no. it’s simply not being stupid.
the majority of the best guilds that were alliance have all changed to horde over the years for a variety of reasons. for example - did you know that 8 guilds alone that were alliance during warlords between now and then have changed to horde? thats 8 minimum. i didn’t do much digging.
There’s a been a very real and very damaging trickle down effect because of this over the years, one that has lead to Alliance’s hardcore population getting decimated and overall population falling apart as well.
Horde racials have proved to be more beneficial and likely more suited to our play style in each past tier on boss fights that matter and this is a trend we expect to continue.
except its the truth. 8 guilds minimum between the end of warlords and now alone have swapped from alliance to horde. that’s just from the top 60 guilds in the world.
