please:
enforce faction balance on realms. ie for 2000 alliance to play 2000 horde must be online.
offer free transfers from anywhere to anywhere with no cooldown for one month.
most people on megaservers are on megaservers because their realm went 60/40 then 99/1. you will not stop having megaservers until you solve the faction balance problem.
we have all given you too much for server transfers. ive given you more money for server transfers than i have given any other game for anything. how about some good will and solve this problem. otherwise people like me will never leave benediction because i know it will lead to hundreds of dollars in transfers down the line.

They wouldnever do that due to the sheer stupidity it is.

People are too stupid to take free transfers and create a healthy server. They’d rather wait in a 3 hour queue. How would this solve anything? People would still just wait in queue, which is all this solution would do, create a longer queue.
No. There is never a guarantee of a healthy server based on faction balance. You just have some people who want to kill and not be killed.
people are welcome to sit in queue if they want to but they can transfer wherever they want so that would be dumb.
how would a 50/50 server be unhealthy?
Mainly cause they way you wrote it you said ppl have to be online. So that would create a que for ppl waiting for someone on the other faction to join…which is a very bad design.
Second 50/50 doesnt mean every player wpvps. ITs health is still going to depend on the player themselves. Nevermind the fact that achieving a true 50/50 is just about impossible.
I would honestly be in full support of a faction-based queue system. Instead of everyone being in the same queue, make it so Horde and Alliance are in separate queues.
I don’t necessarily think doing it 1 for 1 is the right call, mind you. But making it so that the lower population faction automatically gets priority queue would go a long way to fixing any slight imbalance alone on the few servers that aren’t 99% one faction.
How about on PVP realms. PVE realms can have whatever balance because people arent signing up for a faction v faction experience
Id be so into this on a pvp realm tho

i would argue that servers being one sided is far worse design.
50/50 is completely possible. blizzard would just not allow more horde than alliance to log on. within reason of course, not necessarily just 5000 horde and 5000 alliance but count how many are in northrend, level 80, etc.
if people dont want to pvp then there are pve servers they can free transfer to.
the idea is to implement these harsh but needed rules and allow players to sort themselves out as they wish.
Still doesnt work if you cant log on if there isnt the same amount of horde as the OP stated. You would have ppl in ques waiting for others to log on. And if someone logs off does that mean the other factions has a player get kicked?

One of the worst ideas ever posted
you dont need this, as long as more people cant log in at that point the problem will fix itself over and hour or so
IF 50/50 is possible then why isnt it happening? The closest with max levels is GROBB yet it has a que. And they are trying to get ppl to leave.
people choose the path of least resistance and unfortunately if your server has 10k players and theyre all your faction you have 2x the amount of players as the same server split 50/50. thats 2x the raids. 2x the guilds. 2x the dungeons. and maybe someone leveling in your alts level range where there would be none.
if there is a queue then people would transfer off wherever they want. it is free. and there is no cooldown you you dont have to be scared you cant transfer back. the playerbase has one month to figure out where they want to land with these new rules
do you at least understand that without faction balance a server will turn 51/49, then 99/1?
and all those transfers probably will go to a 99/1 their faction server? that major changes are needed?
OH so now we just keep adding things to see if it would work. and people can transfer all willy nilly now.
Which is exactly why the servers are like the way they are.
what do you think they should do? not add something and force players to pay for more transfers? i know i am not paying any more and i know a new server will be dead in 3 months. the current solution is queue times will go down when enough players quit.
yep it is completely predictable that it happened and will continue happening. maybe work with the customers needs instead of waiting for them to quit.
uh no. tenchar
world pvp is a joke, server balance is a farce. No one cares. Get over it.
what. like 90% of wow forum posts are about queues. the queues are directly because of server balance and unfair world pvp.
