Not going to get pulled into a rabbit hole of silliness. You’re obviously wrong and historical evidence exists. No changes.
The ones that are quitting want this problem to be addressed, and since it isn’t, they just quit.
The people who enjoy challenge in pvp servers want this problem to be fixed.

So fix it!
So your saying there were was cross server faction bgs when bgs were released , and there were no free server transfers? Lol. I remember waiting in queue for hours, and I remember getting a free transfer from lightbringer , a pve server, to black dragonflight , a pvp server, back in 2005. Anyone can look this up.
The reason it won’t get fixed is that the majority of the players on PvP servers don’t want ‘balanced’ PvP servers.

yes because I can entirely fix a flawed game by not being a hired developer.
How to fix it : convince a bunch of people in the dominate faction to abandon the characters they play now and reroll new characters on the lesser populated faction on their server. As this will NEVER happen there is no fix.
if Blizzard cared about their game being enjoyable for everyone, they would fix it.
They would allow people who are horde faction change to alliance for starters. Then no one would need to reroll.
Blizzard can’t fix it, it’s not a developmental issue it is a player created issue, play the other faction then you will fix the issue, get enough of your faction to do so and the balance will happen, Good luck with your crusade to get people to play the factions they don’t want to play in the name of the pipe dream that is balanced PvP servers.
Either you are a complete troll or you have not gotten to the point in your life that the world is much bigger than the room in your parents house. Good luck with either.
It is a difficult problem. Players are not willing to change factions or realms unless their friends and/or guilds are willing to too.
More queues causes more players not being able to play. This causes more complaints posts like this one.
If your point is that only a hired developer can fix the game, then I’d very much question your definition of hired developer, but that’s a bit off-topic.
From my point of view (and it is only my point of view), you seem to be saying something akin to, “I have my own preferences. Most of the players who are quitting also share my preferences. Only Blizzard can give me my preferences.”
And, again from my point of view, there are several things you can do to enjoy WoW. If faction balance is your preference, and you wish to do nothing about it yourself, then that’s a very easy fix. You can roll on one of the balanced servers, such as Netherwind.
If you prefer a challenge, and would like to do something, you can represent your faction, and your server well. You can be a shining example that others would like to join, and you could even recruit people from outside your server to come and join you.
If you would like to partially contribute, but don’t want to drive the effort, you could seek out individuals and/or groups (guilds) who are working to fight back the imbalance, and building their ranks. Although, if you ask guilds on the most unbalanced servers what they are recruiting for, it’s typically very specific roles to fill their raid rosters, and they don’t actually care to do anything to change the faction-balance situation on their servers.
Those are a couple of things. Personally, I rolled around on a few different servers to speak with people and guilds, and ended up selecting one of the highest population/highest faction imbalance servers I could find to roll an Alliance character on. That’s my personal contribution to resolving the “faction imbalance.”
you didnt know, but the community at large most certainly did. i remember the very moment they announced separate honor system and BG implementation. playing on a pserver, my guild immediately burst out with the memes and jokes, how stupid could blizzard be etc. from what i recall that reaction spread to the classic discord servers and reddit.
the issue with imbalance in vanilla is its always present. a slight imbalance leads to a moderate imbalance, which leads to a bad imbalance, which leads to servers like stalaag. in a game like vanilla where there’s no regulation in place, issues affecting the entire population tend to snowball.
for months, the topic was stressed over and over by the players who knew what they were talking about. if you didn’t know it would be like this, its mostly on you as an individual

So because I didn’t play private servers with faction imbalance, it’s on me. So according to you, we all should have played on private servers before playing wow classic.
Besides leeway
Besides spell batching
Besides 5x the the server pop
Besides server transfers a few days in

I’ve tried that but it isn’t enough. If you cared about faction balance you would be asking blizzard to implement some easy fixes instead of arguing with me.
I don’t. I really, really don’t.
maybe read my entire post. the reaction was widespread across all channels that were discussing the development of classic wow.

literally two minutes of google. cleavis on this very forum pointed out the issues it would bring and he sparked a larger discussion
I liked this comment from the reddit post:
“i think someone who played vanilla but never played any on private server will remember what things were like a lot better bc their memory won’t be compromised”
