I mean… if your opponent loses, that means you won.
And no, the only was the horde won, was in WC3 when they helped Alliance and the Night Elves fight the Legion.
Blizz isn’t going to do anything about the RMT boosting because it got them out of the embarrassment of the Hall of Fame issue and how it shines an uncomfortable spotlight on the faction balance. They’re probably extremely happy they can avoid more pressure about the imbalance right after Blizzcon riled us up (rightfully).

Where can we view this Hall of Fame?
Yea… the Horde defeats itself. The Alliance are victims and spectators during these wars.

one of the worst tiers ever… selling spots on the HoF for god knows how many gold caps.
This is hilarious to be honest. Would of been cool to play with Alliance tho. But yeah Blizz fails hard.

If it weren’t for China doing China things, cross-realm mythic might have taken another 6 months. The faction balance is THAT bad.

Huh. Well, on the upside, China doing China things means I might actually get to see the content while it’s relevant, so that’s neat.

Skyline, Jitianhong are infamous as professional RMT suppliers and consumers. They both bought full raid 2400 PvP rating for prog, and sold account sharing Hall of Fame. Everyo everyonene knows

Blizzard probably happy about China cheating this because it covers up just how bad the faction balance is. More than a month later is already a bad imbalance, but in reality, without Chinese guilds selling hall of fame slots, Alliance might not even fill the hall of fame before the next raid tier hits lol. At that point even Ion with all his handwaving and excuses couldn’t ignore the imbalance anymore. Allow cross faction guilding and pve already, this is ridiculous.

They still competed for RWF. What they did outside of that doesn’t mean it’s not an esport.
Thanks China, without you the Alliance list would have never filled up.
Yall the real MVPs.

Because it would never fill up with just the eu and na regions. It gives the illusion that there are healthy guilds full of active players still playing by the millions.
I think folks forget Blizz’s first attempt at entering the chinese market before MoP. The original team refused to meet china’s demands concerning control over the game.
China responded by ‘reverse engineering’ wow and released its own version, then blizz caved and gave in to china’s demands to monitor all internet activity through their own data filters.
This game and company was built on the subscriptions of Americans. Those subscription fees were squandered away without returning a fair portion back into the golden goose, hence what the game turned into and all the woes of modern wow.
Unfortunately this seems to be the status quo for most american corporations as they betrayed the people whose money built them.

If they were serious, they would take away those Alliance spots in the HoF, but while they will punish individuals, they will ignore the HoF so they don’t have to address the faction imbalance.
Oh wow, the Alliance did it? And it only took one extra month!
On sunday the Alliance was already at 67 of 100, so they were more than half way there before the chinese RMT got involved.
Can we acknowledge that waiting 3 months into a tier to unlock cross-realm play for 1 difficulty is idiotic, and so is using archaic lockout rules (again, for 1 difficulty) to artificially force Guild relevance?
