Does anyone believe the TBCC team (if there is one) is looking at BG data?

The underlying problem is close to a decade of player perceptions and lemmings playing follow the leader. They wanted a fix that could help this decade, without forcing players onto servers or factions they didn’t want to play on.

I’ll agree with the lemmings comment, as that’s largely the cause of the huge population shift. But balancing the racials, or doing any number of things over a year ago would have been the best way to address it. If they weren’t going to go no changes in TBCC - and they had to have known long beforehand - they shouldn’t have tried to do the same in Classic.

Personally would have preferred they went with changing up racials + faction changes and maybe even incentives for Alliance to queue, but I recognize all of those also would’ve still set the forums on fire and wouldn’t have led to anywhere near the amount of BG participation same faction did.

Taking steps B and C when trying to fix a problem would be better than going straight to Z.

Hoping that once they do go through with this completely, there’s at least a minimum amount of time before same faction queue kicks in.

I’m also hoping they finally give us some actual numbers regarding faction/server balance, but that’s just another pipe dream.

Pretty much. Testing the system is understandable, but there should be a period where they still try and match AvH. And yeah - we’ll never see the data nor numbers. They don’t announce live numbers for a reason.
