So we got same faction BGs. Can someone explain to me why this is world ending and why people are crying every day on these forums? (They’re 30+ years old irl btw)
Thanks for the update folks!

Because the horde now have massive honor per hour gains compared to the alliance. This puts them so far ahead its insane. A week from now horde will be full resil gear while alliance are struggling for their 2nd peice.

Bad alliance players are crying that they have to share insta queues and dont get a huge advantage in gear. Alliance players actively tried to sabotage any discussion on reasonable changes so here we are.
They can of course reroll horde like they all told us to.

Because Blizzard made it clear if you cry enough on the forums they will give you what you want. Thanks Horde for showing the way.

Compare two scenarios:
-
Horde find it difficult to do battlegrounds because of faction imbalance.
-
Alliance find it difficult to complete world objectives due to faction imbalance.
Guess which one got “fixed”?

Yes, and horde get honor regardless of which faction they face. Its a double win for them.

But they’re gaining honor at the same rate, assuming both sides are winning and losing at equal rates. I don’t see how horde are getting more honor than alliance. It just seems now they’re getting the same honor we are now that they have the same queue speed.

how does this make horde have a massive honor advantage compared to ally? we have equal queue times now. before this change ally actually had the advantage with the instant queues, now its fair.

How is it so hard for people to see this lol. Both alliance and horde need equal amounts of honor to gear, correct? Horde win most of their games, where alliance lose most of them. The trade-off (before todays update) gave alliance instnat queue losses, and horde hour long queue wins. Honor gains were relatively equal (though winning one per hour vs losing 2 per hour was still more HpH). NOW, horde can face horde with almost instant queue’s, and ONLY HORDE are getting more honor per hour from this. Alliance still face horde, and still lose most of our games. If horde face horde, its a 50/50 game, but its STILL THE HORDE that come out with honor, now with instant queue’s.

Alliance gets honor if they face alliance in a bg too.
I think ur not understanding something here.
The biggest complaint has to do with that blizzard did nothing to fix the actual issue, faction balance, and went with the route of allowing horde to just ignore their counter part for every aspect of the game at this point.
The change did not increase honor gains to surpass alliances honor gains, just equalized them to have the same opportunity/potential.

This change was for the horde, not the alliance. I’ve played 18 EoTS today, and not a single time have faced an alliance team. Which means we’re still losing almost all of our games. Horde however, are facing same faction 50% of the time. When this happens, only horde are getting honor, since there are no alliance in the BG.
Wait, so your argument is that since Alliance lose battlegrounds, they should get instant queues and horde shouldn’t?
So should a person who makes more money per hour than me IRL only be allowed to work 2 hours compared to my 8?

I’d explain it, but horde have too much zug zug to understand the complexity and long term effects of this change.

No, stop being dense. IDGAF if horde have instant queue’s, but this change not only gave them instant queue’s, they’re getting double if not triple HpH than alliance. In a week from now they’ll all have full resil gear, and alliance are still struggling to get 300 HpH.
But they’re getting more honor because they’re winning more, according to what you said.
What’s wrong with that?
Maybe they need to up their game? Throwing the matches and afking has really gotten old.

No but you get taxed more if you make more.
I think you fundamentally are missing the point here. The horde has the vast majority of the PvP focused individuals, the result of faction imbalance left unchecked for so long, making it nearly impossible for Alliance to even win matches.
How are alliance getting less honor/hr than I was getting in over hour queues? youre so full of crap.
So basically this is an anti-trust campaign against the horde because they’re better at PVP?
