Alliance - if you want free 385 gear and 30% bonus, turn off Warmode

Community General Discussion

Since this is Blizzard’s vision for “incentivizing” warmode for the rest of the expansion, it’s in our best interest as players to maximize the reward out of it.

Currently as alliance, having WM on does very little since the bonus is sitting at only 15%. The Against All Odds quest isn’t available either, and we need that back.

So lets get it back to 30%. Horde are usually very eager to turn warmode on (lok’tar!) so let them do exactly that. Put their warmode eagerness to our benefit.

We can work smarter and use this ridiculous system to our advantage. Thoughts?

Not that I’m having any problems in warmode (in fact, I’m actually having fun), but battlegrounds are worse than ever. I played 6 games today and won, one. Why? Because I called the shots and Alliance actually listened!

I work Swingshift so find guilds and pugs that raid in the morning or on Sunday is hit or miss (usually miss). I’m probably gonna switch to Horde eventually just so that I can experience heroic/mythic raids for once in my WoW career.

Not a good look Alliance.

No it’s not. I’ve said all along, give both sides the quest to get as many in WM as possible, maybe raise the kill count significantly, and just give buffs like the 30% to the underdogs.

Rationalize it however you want. You understand the bad light it puts you in. It reinforces stereotypes.

You want nerfs to stop the abuse? Because that’s what you are gonna get.

Says the faction that whined non-stop about the lack of Alliance in WM.

Blizzard actually did something for faction balance and gave us an incentive to turn WM on…and Horde also complained about that.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with Alliance camping flight points, or just participating. No, you see where the problem comes in is where we literally have to shove a candybar in your face and say “this will help”. People always try and game the system and it just leads to a one time boost then once they figure you are gaming the system they change it to something less desirable.

Not to mention just how unpleasant everyone views you for it.

Man, that 30% bonus would be really amazing for my horde alts :frowning:

But I don’t want the gear… I’m okay with the current 15% for leveling alts since I turn it off at 120.

:cookie:

Thoughts?

It’s my ball if can’t have it the entire game I will take it home and you will have nothing.

Play WM for the fun. All the other fluff is just that, fluff.

Go get your gank on. Get ganked. Win a 2v1. Lose a fight you should have dominated. Have fun.

But to turn it off solely to try to trigger AOO is assenine at best

If blizzard were grown ups, they’d know how children would react.

I honestly couldn’t care less how a bunch of random people on the internet view me. I had no interest in turning WM on before the candybar and I have no interest in turning WM on without it. Seeing as, at the very least, Against Overwhelming Odds boosted Alliance participation in WM it accomplished it’s goal.

You will, in time. Once you see most people mocking you and you find shelter from the scorn few and far between. It’s easy to brush off peoples opinion until it becomes the majority, then it just eats your soul. You are free too have opinions ofc but opinions don’t come without consequences.
