BG Queues from a fair alliance perspective

As an alliance player, I think the current situation with horde battleground queues is not healthy for the game long term. In the current state us alliance players are able to farm battlegrounds for honor at a much quicker rate, this will result in us alliance players having a gear advantage based on the queue times alone. It’s sad to see how many of my fellow alliance players are in denial and saying this is a non-issue, we should be able to beat the horde on a level playing field, and you should be ashamed if you are fine with such an advantage. I think long term if this issue isn’t addressed this WILL drive players away and result in the game dying off, specially with many other MMOs on the horizon.

Re-rolling NEW characters should not be the only solution. I think one of these solutions should be implemented to help resolve this issue.

  1. Mercenary Queues (maybe with a bonus honor incentive)

  2. Faction Changes (with the ability to have characters on both factions on the same realm)

  3. Honor Rewards scaled by queue time + game time for both factions

See this alliance player is smart. It is definitely NOT healthy for the long-term health of the game because pvpers on horde will quit the game with these queues.Any smart player would want to bring in a change to address this issue.Heck if I played alliance on classic too I would want this.

once they quit, their queue times will reduce, therefore horde starts getting better queue times?

Everyone with even a modicum of foresight saw this coming well in advance. If you valued short queues for BGs you should’ve rerolled alliance during classic like a lot of people did. This is a player created issue and the least intrusive solution is a player driven one. Reroll or suck it up.

How about the fact that MOST of the PvP player base is horde? Really will die out pvp in tbc for good. It’s a shame.

If this was true WoW pvp would have died back in 2007… some how it survived

You’re implying that there isn’t a thriving PvP scene on alliance. That’s simply not true. Just because most of the big name pvp streamers went horde on Shįtlina doesn’t mean pvp on alliance is dead.

Once Wrath classic is out, it’s going to flip completely. The streamers and sweaties will swap for Every man for himself and combat usable shadowmeld.
