Free transfers just screwed incendius

Horde guilds are flocking away with the free transfers, it’s already hitting 70/30 ally to horde and once it gets that bad it’ll snow ball with $$ transfers to pad blizzards pocket books.

I’m glad Ion and the blizzard staff really understood how much community matters in classic wow.

yep…shoulda had some sort of lock mechanism so the faction didn’t get borked cuz all our horde just up and jumped ship INCLUDING the faction trasnferees that screwed us IN THE FIRST PLACE!!..GG blizz. way to screw a server. this is NOT the solution we wanted…not for a PVP realm…where the faction balance actually matters…we had a great balance for the longest time and you broke it twice.

That’s exactly the purpose, right? Guilds with long queues to play the game move to other servers, right?

It’s going to be like Stalagg but the other way around. Horde are going to transfer off then Alliance will follow or pay to transfer to a balanced realm. Then it will happen again.

guess that being 52/48 was toooo much of an unfair handicap for the superior pvp oriented horde .

It’s kinda funny the new heartseeker wounder what servers will be owned by whay faction in a year from now.

The issues that come from these free xfers almost makes it seem like they need to do something different like allow you to queue up for the xfer, but do them in batches or something. IE: If 100 horde queue to xfer you need 100 ally to transfer as well.

Not even sure what the impact is to the other servers. They gave each server like 3 or 4 options so I’m sure they just spread them around and won’t noticeably help those servers out.

Ok but given what’s happening no alliance are transfering so that means no horde can transfer as well trapping players on the server. So net result is nothing and everyone still cries about queues.

Not Blizzards fault the playerbase can’t balance itself. No one would want them to force balance.

Or they just wanted to…you know…log into the game?

I’m confident to say that some Alliance xferred. Maybe 1000 horde ran off and only 300 Alliance did. In what I was suggesting you’d still have gotten rid of 600 people. The only issue would be guilds trying to xfer off and people getting caught in the middle of the guild xferring and some people get left behind.

Yep, and other servers are becoming faction imbalanced too. Fun times…

People make decisions for themselves. Even if they try to make decisions that will help more than themselves they don’t have the information to make complete decisions, just guesses. The only ones who have the full picture here are Blizzard so they are the ones who should be doing the balancing.

Or at the very least have some feedback on the numbers so people can make better decisions.

It’s all a cash grab by Blizzard.

  1. Open up free transfers on overpopulated realms with faction imbalance
  2. The faction with the least amount of players start to transfer off because of the imbalance.
  3. The imbalance between factions starts to become even more extreme.
  4. Blizzard closes free transfer.
  5. Anyone left is now in an even worse situation before the free transfers and forced to pay if they want to find balance.

The end result is there will be a huge influx of paid transfers after the free transfers close.

Blizzard knows this and they don’t care about actual balance just $$$.

If they cared about balance they would have fixed the lotus issues months ago.
