Alliance gets FREE ilvl 400 weekly!? What the!?

Yes, for having the warfront first. Lol one of the factions had to have had it, there was no other way around it. This is going to be a free 400 every week for alliance just for killing players?
Personally I don’t care that much but it’s not very comparable. Especially now that alliance will have Darkshore first so they’ll get a 400 first from that, so that evened out.

If they don’t they won’t be getting people to transfer back over. A decade of skilled Alliance players rerolling to Horde(Method used to be Alliance.) has crippled the Alliance player base.

The main mythic raiding guild since MoP called it quits 2 weeks ago because they couldn’t replace people leaving.

Can’t do it in a raid though.

Double dipping on multiple freebie initial gear upgrades wont make people transfer back over, or increase their skill level.

This won’t get raiders to switch entire guilds to alliance, its strictly to get casual players to try warmode.

I thought the M+ cache being capped at 380 was a slap in the face this week, especially since in Legion when the ilvl increase happened there wasn’t a week waiting period. But wtf is this?

I like how it says 120lvl players or you know they would be nuking lowbies lol

Should tack on a flat % increase for items to titanforge until there are as many alliance raiding guilds as horde

Your right a decade of better racials is harder to overcome that just throwing players gear.

The problem with this being that some 400 gear isn’t going to be enough to move the 1% Mythic quality players back the other direction - it’s just going to create a discrepancy among those in majority of the player-base.

If they really want to move that 1% back, they need to fix racials.

Its funny because the racials are pretty even from a dps point of view.

And we as Alliance players know that. But what is Blizzard doing?

Cool a reason to finish leveling alts this week. Gonna have fun tonight getting this done a few times.

We can’t fix what Blizzard is or is not doing about that, obviously. At the same time, that doesn’t mean that this is “ok”.

If one faction is getting 400 while the other isn’t, it’s ridiculously OBVIOUS it’s an unintended issue. So why on earth are there people replying as if it was intended? What is wrong with your brains?

That’s right if anyone thinks free heroic gear each week is more important to raiding guilds than the zandalari racials they are fooling themselves

Because that is how the warmode quest has worked since it was implemented, only the faction with ‘less people in warmode’ (seems to be worldwide, regardless of what is happening on your region/datacenter) gets the quest. The only difference is now, the rewards are ilvl 400 instead of 370, because season 2 started.
