Do you think we should buff fire mages by 10% or 20% in 9.1? They seem to be underperforming currently, they should be out-competing every class in every scenario.

Thanks to China the Alliance got their part done.

At this point I see no reason to continue to divide players by faction. It just feels like an arbitrary barrier where I can’t play with my friends who I just found out play WoW because they are Alliance and don’t have time to start over and they are already with a guild they are fond of.
It’s not like my faction ever matters in SL anyways. Besides a few sneaky bits of changed dialog here and there it makes no difference at all. Even when we rescue Tyranada, who absolutely hates Horde beyond any reason, it just one line changed from “A champion of the Alliance? It’s good to see you!” to “A champion of the Horde? I’m keeping my EYYYE on you bucko!”.

And what do you expect Blizzard to do about it?

Player created problem.

Also inb4 “nerf racials” racials aren’t the problem

of course we do. Nothing more important than licking mage’s (my director’s) azz

Why would you argue with a troll anyway

I never mentioned that but it probably won’t be the do all end all for the alliance considering how people already complain about group gate keeping.

I’m all for the idea but it won’t end the complaints for many. In fact it will add some new and fun “I keep getting rejected from groups for being Alliance” threads.

Let’s face facts - if they don’t count stuff like this, Alliance probably wouldn’t unlock it until the start of next raid tier.

the people who complain about “group gate keeping” are the people who don’t really want to do group content in the 1st place.

I guess you didn’t listen to Blizzcon information.

Blizzard admitted to creating the problem and they are trying to work on making fixes for it.

People don’t currently reject applicants based on player race, not sure how this would apply to Alliance except in certain situations with Horde fanboys. Very occasionally getting rejected for being Alliance is still a lot better than having no groups to queue for in the first place.

What I expect them to do is allow cross-faction instance playing, just as they already do for PvP.

It’s a bit ridiculous they allow it for PvP, but the content where the factions don’t actually engage in “war”, it’s disallowed.

Mythic raiding and the “Race to World First!” is very much an esport

And it is very dumb.

Right?
The fact we’ve been able to cross faction PVP for many expansions is insane when we can’t PVE together. PVP is the one time to lore/story/enviroment supports the faction war (although most BGS take place in the ‘past’), where as most PVE stories are about putting aside differences and working together.

I wasn’t aware multiple tiers (10+ years) of Horde racials being overtly superior was a “player created” problem, and the steep cost of character services in general was also a “player created” problem.

But hey, it wasn’t like I was Horde during Throne of Thunder when Beast Slaying was a thing. Didn’t watch Rocket Jump on Kil’jaden streams. Arcane Torrent in M+? On use burst racials in general?
Herpa derpa.

“Rejected from group for not being meta”, “rejected from group for being on x/y/z oceanic server” and soon to be “rejected from group for being Alliance”.

Make it cross faction for all I care. The alliance has complained about everything while always being the more casual faction (short of in PvP when EMFH was still a thing) and that’s why I re rolled all my toons years ago. I played alliance for more than half of the time I’ve played.

Neat, can you nerf Mythic Castle Nathria now?

That might happen at first, but it would probably end pretty quickly. I don’t think hardcore faction fanboys are the ones pushing high end content for the most part these days anyway.

If faction barriers were broken down to the point where guilds were cross-faction, half of those top end guilds would switch to Alliance races anyway because Mechagnome is still busted, Human is still the best PvP race, and Night Elf allows for M+ shenanigans that the top tier M+ players otherwise only practice on tournament realms.

In other words “F*** anyone who’s being screwed over because of the asian servers, once again, filling up 30 placements from RMT”.

Why do you believe that it’s very dumb? :slight_smile:
