Flying =WM Off

Come to an RP or Oceanic shard and say alliance don’t want to PvP lol. Horde are almost non-existent there.

I’ve heard about that. The problem is how they define regions and of course Sharding. It’s a definite fault of Blizzards for trying to use a “one size fits all” mentality.

Question: was there a problem with this on PvP servers, especially those with faction imbalances?

If so, how people deal with it then?

I know that Mists had a shell you could throw at enemies. Not sure about other tactics.

But this is a complaint that has cropped up Every Single Expansion since they added in player controlled flying. It’s beyond beating a dead horse by now. There’s no horse left to beat!

This is surprisingly true. I took a look at it myself, with my Night Elf Druid, turned WM on and went to Mechagon. There were very few Horde there. And actually not that much in the way of fights that I could see. So perhaps those who want to do the PvP world quests might try joining an Oceanic group.

And doesn’t that make me chuckle. Howe often I have seen “I don’t want to be in Oceanic groups cause latency reasons”. See, we aren’t that bad, truly!

Half of open world PvP is groups ganking solo players and the other half is waiting for a player fighting trash or an elite’s health to go down, killing them and stealing the kill. If anything solo players will be able to get around easier.

Warmode was complete failsauce from it’s inception, they should just bring back PvP servers and allow free transfers off them for those that don’t want to be on a PvP server.

Semper Fi! :us:

Except that would create its own issues. Because it takes time to transfer characters off. And it wouldn’t help with any sense of balance. Because there were servers with a ratio as bad as 90/10.

The problem is that they’ve dropped the ball and seem adamant about NOT fixing the sharding issues. If they get off their lazy duffs and improve sharding, it’ll be much better overall.

That’s also why many Alliance aren’t engaging in it because they’re being sharded into a 70/30 shard (or worse) in favor of the Horde.
