Current status of Benediction Horde going on a month after launch:
Less than a dozen 80s online at any given time, frequently less than five
Less than 1,000 listings on the Auction House on average, complete market control by 2-3 players playing both sides using multiple accounts
One, maybe two heroic groups per day
Zero raids completed by Horde since launch, not even Wintergrasp
Arena groups are non-existent
When will the embarrassingly cheap rogues (accountants) at Blizzard gouge their addicted player base for a little extra pocket change to make the game playable? We are waiting. Name your price.
Lunch time bump. Blizzard, most your playerbase here are hopelessly addicted adults with vast disposable income. Please provide this service. Make it $150, make it $500, just make it happen already.
Unless a person has a love of only really wpvp where they really enjoy being outnumbered and ganking the target-rich PVE-geared players they can (and should have already) take the offered free transfers to other servers. The game experience would be much better pretty much anywhere else.
People on Faerlina ally and Benediction horde were begging for free transfers off for months. That was understandable. Having to pay to play the toons properly sucked. For now, there are some free transfers and thatās the best solution.
Frankly I donāt even want to go Alliance, I have been on Benediction since day 1, have server first achievements despite the queue and lopsided population, no plans to leave.
Regardless of racials, entire guilds will transfer to Horde from Alliance once faction transfers open, making all aspects of gameplay significantly more viable than in their current state.
I donāt think there is really answer you would be satisfied with. Just a hunch.
Iām not even calling for āchangesā. Just pointing out the repeated history of imbalance. It was less pronounced the first time around in vanilla. people were more savvy and started to take advantage of the three trinkets in OG Wotlk. Now that classic wotlk has come around, arguably the impact of the three trinkets is more than the classic vanilla stun and WOTF.
But I understand itās trendy to mock and for lack of a better phrase for it, point fingers and go āha haā on these forums.
