Can we please get this implemented already. Its ridiculous how imbalanced some servers are.
How many players would actually do this? If only 4% of the players on your server do it, it will have NO noticeable impact on server faction balance (which in turn has LITTLE impact on pvp).
Would you do it? Would you change factions in Classic?
Since you’re posting on a retail toon, I don’t know your Classic server or faction.
Something is better than nothing
You already made a thread (and bumped it) on this. Doesn’t matter, anyway, 'cause my answer remains the same:
Let me guess… You don’t want to faction change yourself, you just want enough of your fellow Hordies to faction change that it lowers your queue times significantly.
Protip: they don’t want to faction change either.

I give you props, Glinda. That could be the secret agenda, here.

It’s what every faction change thread is calling for.

Hey, I’d faction change my Classic mains to Horde. Would make PvP WAAAAAAY easier, queue times be damned.
I disagree – in cases like Faction Balance, 1% is no better than 0%. Not unless it is free and has no negative side effects.
And this has an obvious side effect. It is easy to exploit this feature.
For example: I’m new to your Horde-heavy PvP server, and want a level-60 Alliance Mage named Nastypants (Alliance for the fast queue times, less honor competition, whatever). What is the easiest way to get there? Is there an exploit to cut my leveling time in half?
Yes. Level 1 to 60 as Horde (that’s SO much faster) and switch to Alliance at level 60. That’s an obvious exploit. My leveling will be almost the same as a PVE server.
Preventing this is exactly for this reason that Blizzarrd doesn’t allow realm transfers TO pvp servers FROM pve servers. Why should they allow the same exploit here? No, if you want a level-60 on Alliance, Blizzard wants you to level on Alliance.
sounds like a back in my day argument.
but yea i’d change to alliance
In all likelihood there would be many more Alliance faction changing to Horde than the other way around.
Yup. We know what side the bread is buttered on. The situation is bad and Blizz is doing nothing about it, so might as well make it even worse.
