As a Horde player we all are boycotting AV because the Premade Discords. Before the HvH patch dropped Queues were still down to ~3 minutes horde side (because we refused to play in that type of environment) Meaning alliance queues shot up to 15-30 minutes.
H v H has no impact on us boycotting AV, we just now have access to the other BG’s which we didn’t before. Even without HvH we arent stupid enough to queue for AV unless we direly need the badges for PvP gear.
Also nice 60 alliance mage… who do you really play on?
Warlock and I am 319 resilience which means I have done many bgs, I have NEVER been in a discord premade or have heard of it. So I don’t know what you guys are making up but it’s all false.
I was an alliance paladin in Classic and participated in the Premade Discords when the AV was first released, it was flat out unfair but “Allowed”. Just because you personally are not doing it does not mean its not being abused in mass. (This is a new Meta over the last 2 weeks)
Alliance did it in classic, it was unfair - they removed BG #'s and limited group sizes to fix it. Another fix needs implemented to stop this as well in TBC
NO, no, no BLIZZARD. THIS CHANGE IS SUPPOSED TO BE FOREVER. NOT FOR ANOTHER WEEK FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER THREE WEEKS OF WAITING FOR ANOTHER UPDATE, UNTIL SUBSCRIPTIONS RUN OUT, PEOPLE RESUBSCRIBE ONLY TO WAIT FOR THREE MORE WEEKS OF +1HOUR QUEUES!!! GAHHHHH!
I have no desire to ever queue again as a solo player or as a group of 5 trying to carry a team to victory. I have no interest in playing with alliance from outside my realm. I see it as a giant waste of my time. Instead I want to play with my community, who all share the same interest in playing the BG competitively. I want to continue to play with team members from my realm and continue to meet people from my realm who have this same interest.
I will not be doing BGs this week, instead I am and have been killing every single Horde player I come across in the open world (as often as possible) with my buddies on Benediction, since its really the only PvP we are allowed to do as a group. I don’t like killing lowbie horde just trying to quest, but its the only option you leave me with. Good luck with your testing!

So you’re fine with Horde V Horde as long as premades are allowed? Than you for your support. You must be one of those Alliance Xfers to our benediction server because you couldn’t handle horde on yours.
Try to kill us, but we are all at the battlemasters
100% agree, PvP contained within your server was the absolute best. However since servers are so botched I doubt we will ever see that again Not to mention layers…
I would prefer the old days where a BG was entirely comprised of players of your server, alliance fighting horde. I know that’s not even in the realm of possibilities anymore, due to poor planning and mismanagement on Blizzards behalf.
That said, sure. I dont mind Horde Vs Horde BGs as long as they introduce faction changes.
Nah, I transfered to Benediction on christmas day of 2019. Old server was waaaaay too big for me. I actually want to play on DD now that Bene has become the new big mega server.
The Alliance War Effort quest reward is going to need a serious buff if you want to entice Ally to BG moar. 6 AB games, 2.5 hours, 1 win, 3 Netherweave, 5 Purified Draenic Water, and 2g97s.
I play because I like PvP, regardless of lootbox. Right now Q’s are fast for Ally, so I PvP Ally even if we lose all the games. If Qs were better for Horde, I’d PvP Horde. I’m saying that if Blizz wants the lootbox to raise ally player Qs, they need to up the value. I’m not saying it’s a good fix or that I would PvP just to get paid.
How are these win boxes meant to incentify Alliance players to queue? They literally give about 4 - 6g a box. You could make that much in 1min flying out of Shatt.
There should be a real incentive, but we all know once it’s HvH you don’t really give a crap about faction participation. This is all just an attempt to shut the disgruntled Alliance players up.
Imagine going to a server with a better faction balance instead of crying on the forums about a problem they haven’t even been able to solve after FIFTEEN YEARS
Not to mention layers…
