I’m a horde player, Played horde since day one Nov 23, 2004.
Alliance has always been the lesser faction. Now they have nothing. Blizzard, you are taking way the one thing left for alliance. That does not bode well for the game in general.
Give them alliance some incentive to play. Like dual spec? How about remove racials in pvp?
exactly. alliance really did bring this problem onto themselves. racials is a big excuse. tons of top arena times are ally. perception is super busted in pvp.
People who currently play alliance aren’t doing it for the sweet BG que times. They really aren’t. This is a non issue. The people playing alliance now are doing it because they want to play alliance to begin with. A vast majority of current Alliance players wouldn’t pvp even if you paid them real money to.
I did just that. I was a long time Horde player from Vanilla to Wrath (Garithos server) and in Classic leveled a UD mage to 60 (Earthfury) BUT then rerolled to Alliance because it was the Underdog faction and level five toons to 60 and I am NOT the only one to reroll for the sake of the game.
To tell the truth, I think it is time to move on. Blizzard has proven, yet again, that it could foul up a free lunch. The only thing keeping them alive is the sheer incompetence of their competition.
Just make it a lobby game with no factions or races or even classes already.
It isn’t about the now it’s about the future. With horde having every advantage eventually the alliance will be a shell of their form now (look at retail) with less people means less lfg dungeons, less tanks, less guilds that need __. The point being overtime the bleeding will cause people to move to horde for other reasons besides que times, it’s a domino effect guys get with the program.
Alliance will still have better queue times, the Horde v Horde gets implemented at a certain queue point. i dont understand what the outrage is about. Alliance barely queues as it is, now they wont be farmed as much in the open world.
