Yep. And there’s countless other threads where like-minded people have said about the same thing. This “free transfer” fix isn’t a realistic fix.
Most people want AT LEAST an end to paid transfers TO the full servers.
That should be Blizzard’s starting point really. They should at LEAST do that.
Yes blizz should force server balance and faction balance. Don’t want to play alliance? Too bad. Blizz must fix balance. Half the horde are now randomly chosen to be alliance.
Why stop there? Let’s fix class distribution too because it’s imbalanced as well.
Oh too many warriors? Well now 1/4 of you are shamans and druids. Blizz has to fix balance.
Oh not enough tanks? All the dps warriors are now tanks and 3/4 or the mages are now healers. Split up between druids, shamans, and priests.
There. Everyone is happily balanced. Oh wait we forgot about oomkins. Half the huntards are now oomkins.
But why stop there? Let’s make sure pvp is balanced too. So on Tues, Thursday, and Saturday everyone is required to put in 6 hours engaged in pvp. Either in the world or in bg’s. Even on pve servers.
Blizz telling us how to play doesn’t sound very fun.
Stopped reading there, assuming you’re trolling. No one said anything about converting already made characters to the opposite faction, silly. Who in god’s name would want that? No one.
Asking for faction queues and the like is asking for those things. It’s removing choice from players.
These are all player choices and you’re right. It’s ridiculous to limit player choices in games like wow.
Yet that’s exactly what’s being asked for. Players can vome together and fix these issues as a community. There is no need for blizz to fix anything.
No im not trolling. What i did was show how ridiculous these posts are asking for blizz to “balance” anything concerning player choice.
If you force player choice. Its not a choice.
Girl scout cookies, Gorrilla breath and newports. You?
Player choice. Which you’re trying to get blizz to remove or influence and im telling you why it’s a bad idea in a game like wow. It leads to retail. A game devoid of player choice, player community, and is completely on rails. Aka. A single player mmo. Aka retail.
Sorry, Trugar. I love player choice as well, but when there are servers with populations of 80% or higher one faction and 20% the other, what should be done about that?
I’ve seen private servers (not advocating for them) do the faction balance thing, and it seemed to work out fine. It kept the alliance and horde levels 50/50.
but yeah maybe imbalance of factions isn’t the end of the world. What do I know.
I like balance, but you’re right, I guess it’d be balance in favor of player choice.
Is balance better than player choice? Who can make that decision? I dunno.
They came up with a solution - they released Classic with dozens of other servers. The problem isn’t Blizzard’s - it’s the fault of all the players who insisted on rolling on meme servers instead of trying to balance the population out.

Yeah but Blizzard makes $7,000,000,000 dollars per year
Surely they can come up with a better solution than
What if the server I transfer to has an influx of people making characters on that server and that server becomes overpopulated and that NEW SERVER I transferred to now has 3 hour queues to load into the game.
Can you see why “go transfer” isn’t a real solution now?
I just have one question. How were the people who rolled on those full servers before they were full supposed to know they’d become meme servers with huge queues?
Those people getting screwed now with a hard choice of wait in line to play their game they pay for, or leave their guildies/friends/etc.
"Yes it is. You’d just rather whine than accept it.
Enjoy your 4 hour queues."
"Transfer to another server isn’t a solution.
