SM was always like that… We have to travel quite a ways away from safety to get there while for them it is right on their doorstep. They’ve always waited until they had numerical supremacy before initiating a fight there.
It would be foolish not to make use of that combat option.
Got bad news for you.

That’s because people aren’t submitting to the same one.
The saddest part is that the situation is reversed on yojamba.
It isn’t. As I stated before these websites are wildly inaccurate at this current stage. If you go to /r/Yojamba you will see a snapshot of Monday 9pm Census of both factions. It scanned 12,463 characters online during that time at a ratio of 59 (horde) : 41 (ally).
Imagine playing as a stealth class on the faction where you can level to the mid-late 40’s without ever being forced to flag and crying that the other side is hiding from PvP.
Even Barrens alone has the combined leveling potential of both Westfall and Redridge and it’s still a Horde zone with 3 dungeons in it.
Fair enough. It’s pretty clear that Arugal is horde dominated though, the only question is how much so.

I’m not sure that’s a completely accurate statement tbh. You can visit this website http:// classicrealminfo .com/Chart/Arugal and it paints an entirely different picture.
Again these websites are based on data sent in from users of the same addon yet they yield extremely different results.
Personally, from my own experience, I haven’t seen a huge 10:1 ratio that some people on the forums are claiming. Yesterday I had to help a horde friend of mine on the server in STV due to alliance ganking him over and over again. He could have also easily made a forum post claiming the ratio is wack! People are dramatic when they get frustrated. In saying that I could be wrong and the H:A ratio could be super wack.
My guess would be 55:45 - 60:40 at most.
That is a different picture. But leveling out in the world makes it pretty clear that, at least on my layer, it’s very horde dominated. The difference in number of horde that I run into vs number of alliance is just too vast to go unnoticed. I counted people I ran into while I was leveling in Tanaris the other day, just for fun, and got to 17 horde before seeing an alliance - that was a particularly long run of horde, but it’s not outside of what I’ve come to expect leveling so far. Perhaps it’s the opposite on other layers though.
You can say this because you’re Horde. Try playing as Alliance on Arugal, you’ll see it clearly how outnumbered Alliances are.
Yeah when there’s 5-10 horde and 1-2 alliance anywhere you go it’s obvious that the server (or at least the layer) is one sided.
Then play on a pve server.
The issue is not really the imbalance it’s that there is literally bugger all to do.
Traditionally you would have leveled up farmed gear in 5 mans ready to raid and then you would have bgs as another option and then raid a few nights a week.
Now mc and ony are a joke and can be finished in a few hours so pre-raid bis is meaningless and there are no battlegrounds so what else are bored players supposed to do?
Form raids and go kill all the npcs in quest hubs is what or just run around making life miserable for the other faction.
Its only going to get worse as we get more bored level 60s
Im alli, and play on a pvp server…I’m horde at heart, though. Think of my female human as a shaved Tauren, if that helps.
It seems like your real solution would be to reroll PVE, not beg for transfers which would still be to PVP.
I play Remulos for the exact reason i didn’t want to have to deal with this stuff.
Playing pvp and complaining about [faction] imbalance seems redundant.
While that can be ideal, PvP servers tend to be more fun. It’s not fun when an area has a 5:1 ratio. Reminded me of Staglagg where STV was hell to level in, but Arugal has gigantic imbalance. A paid transfer would be bad for that server since all alliance would want off it. it’ll turn into how Illidan is in retail.
People always want to transfer in the opposite direction of what is needed. If Blizzard gives more transfer options, it’ll be for high side to leave, low side to come in, not other way around. They care about balance, not personal player selfishness. The transfers are high -> low for a reason, but this doesn’t target faction sides, so some realms are stacked for a certain faction. This makes players want to join the high side and abandon the low side, even though the opposite is what the game needs. Blizzard doesn’t trust you to do the right thing because most players won’t.
Sounds like PVP realm isn’t for you.
I created a thread just for the 3 that are showing up right now
Right now according to the wow census site, theres a hand full of servers that are balanced. A lot of the PvP servers are horde heavy cuz thats what horde players prefer, PvP. Alliance players tend to just want to PvE and look at Pagle, that server has like 60k alliance and 10k horde, that is such a crap situation for the Horde (but its a PvE server) and amazing for the alliance as they can find groups quickly, find guilds and their AH is flourishing.
We predicted prior to launch that Pagle would be alliance, Mankrik would be horde. The names made this obvious. Only the Blizzard rep that picked these names, totally detached from reality with no understanding of players, would be surprised. Now they open up transfers from both of these over to Windseeker, meaning the low pop players will be the ones to abandon ship, making the problem worse for those that stay.
BLIZZARD REALLY NEEDED TO DO FACTION SPECIFIC TRANSFERS.
The honest truth…
it is a pvp server. You opted to play on a server that has open world pvp.
This is all on you. You choose knowing full well what happens on a pvp server. Deal with it or make a new character, or wait for transfer.
