I mean just saying it’s kind of ridiculous with faction gaps and it’s been like that since vanilla (and still is like that on classic servers). It’s just far too impressive a population gap for 1 faction allowing them a bonus reward system while the other faction has to try really hard at not being seen to get that 10% bonus loot on world quests and war chests.
I mean as my rogue I tried war mode and had to stay stealthed until I saw it was safe because like there is maybe 1 or 2 other horde players in the area and they aren’t interested in pvp at all but 7 alliance ready to jump me I swear the nanosecond I jump from stealth and then those war chests I can only fly above and see a swarm of red names giving me the option of diving into a rapid, pointless death or just nope out of there and fly away. I know there is probably some alliance who probably share the same experience as I do on their server.
But if we made war mode a sort of thing where you cannot be grouped(for the reason 5 mans dominate the open pvp arenas in war mode with double healers), it disables all buffs and conjured items that are not of your own when activating pvp and it’s just you, your own buffs and consumables vs anyone it actually puts up the risk for going into war mode rather than this faction gets benefits because of numbers advantage. Hate sounding like a brat but it’s not fair at all that the alliance on my server right now get a bonus 3 days of rewards over 30 days and can easy farm additional epic pvp gear while I just get ganked over and over again. If it were a truly neutral free for all at least I could admit maybe I should just “get good” but what am I supposed to do about 7vs1 situation besides just hide and wait for it to clear up because what is the fun of pvp if you can’t even compete?

Sounds more like a purge mode. War is usualy have sides.
No thankyou.
I do world quests and gathering on my healers in War Mode all the time.
I’d rather not have to change spec and I’d lose out on the good interactions I’ve had with random players of my faction.
I play horde like 90% of the time and I prefer it to stay the way it is.
I love world PvP and playing as alliance is like no targets at all.
As horde I often encounter alliance and can gank them when I’m in the mood
The war crates are no big deal you get the same stuff from other activities, it’s not like they get some exclusive rewards
The crate at least incentives to have some skirmishes which on weekend aren’t too bad, I have seen horde guilds grouping up to fight for those crates sometimes so it’s not all bad

Would honestly just make it where people run around in groups still, I think even less people would be participating in warmode if it was that way. It already gets frustrating when a crate drops in a FFA area if you’re not in a group.

This might be the worst idea ive ever heard and I cant believe you actually took the time to write and publish this.
What if it were for Guilds instead? Then we could call it Guild Wars!

It’s something you should absolutely be able to opt into, like Timeless Isle’s Censer of Eternal Agony.
Would be super fun.

So one faction gets free bonuses and the other gets ganked? Yeah you deserve extra free stuff because of the reason: Because I want it.
If the simplicity of actually trying to earn a bonus is too difficult then you don’t deserve it.
Glad to hear you’re having wonderful interactions though! It’s nice to know someone is having fun on the other side and on my side there is literally 3 of us in total begging in general for people to cooperate and help.
God no, that’s an awful idea.
