Instead they just nerfed emfh and made it so horde had all the best racials instead. Something we see to this day.
Depends on what server or crz you end up on. Most of the time horde outnumbers alliance from my experience. Considering alliance still has the 30% buff it means the numbers favor horde if not Blizzard would have changed it weeks ago. You can’t force people to pvp if they don’t want to. World pvp can be a horrible experience, which is why some people doesn’t even take part in it.
Exactly. If horde had less numbers in war mode overall the buff would shift.
But it won’t. Just like the 50% honor buff was supposed to shift, but guess what? The alliance have had it for 4 years…it was so bad horde had to enact merc mode to make it fair.
Look at that, they make the game fair for both sides.
Actually the sharding is supposed to deal with the population advantage (in an ideal world) by putting equal amounts of both faction into the shard when it can.
Blizzard needs to sort that out, not band-aid fix the situation with bonuses.
I’m all for just removing WM bonuses entirely. People that want to PVP will still PVP.
You don’t like that alliance has an unfair advantage. I understand that. Now tell me. Where were you crying about the horde unfair advantage they have had with racials for the past half decade minimum?
If I search your post history am I going to see you asking that to be fixed? Or are you a fair weather fan.
Sharding still doesn’t factor in player skill.
You could get exactly 50 of each in a shard and the horde would still likely have an advantage that stems from over 5 years of top guilds taking best players to horde.
I’ve personally never gotten into the argument of racials as It’s not worth arguing about in my opinion unless one is so broken that it demands attention. I.E. EMFH or blood elves AoE silence which both were nerfed.
I also pointed out how broken dark iron dwarves racial was. The ability to completely shut down entire class specs based off a racial is wrong.
And yet the blood elf racial is still so overpowered that top end m+ groups stack blood elves.
And racials are still so horde favored that only 11 of the top 100 guilds are alliance.
Hmm.
Yep, let’s homogonize the game and make it more boring.
Do you have any actual solutions? Or do you just complain about racials for the sake of complaining?
The people going to horde for racials alone, though, are like literally less than 1% of the population who swapped for a 1-2% damage bonus. That’s not really a very strong argument. Alliance still has plenty of Mythic-level guilds with skilled players.
Only people who are into PvP have faction changed over racials. For others, possibly it is the social thing and more guilds on Horde.
My solution? Their is no solution. Retail is a steaming pile of dung that blizz has let cater to horde for so long that the game is imbalanced in horde favor so much that blizzard can’t fix it. All they can do is bandaid at this point.
Which doesnt work because you cry when you don’t get your way.
“Plenty”.
89 of top 100 guilds is horde.
55% of the population is horde.
70% of all top players in PvP or PvE are horde.
Must be easy to say that when your on the winning faction.
But the 185 Alliance guilds that are 8/8M are all just trash, amirite?
Many alliance guilds have transferred horde over the years for the racials for pve advantage. Including method. You know the number 1 guild in the world?
185 alliance guilds are 8/8 mythic uldir.
There are 1673 guilds 8/8 mythic uldir.
That means only 11% of guilds clearing mythic uldir are alliance.
89% are horde.
Do you see the disparity there?
Do you see the imbalance there?
That means there are 8 horde players for every alliance player.
Now put that into a war mode group.
50 on 50.
For every alliance player who has completed mythic uldir there is 8 horde.
Seems like a huge advantage no?
Basing anything off of what Method/Limit/Exorsus does is extreme, though. Those guys are insane and will do anything they can to have a .2% advantage in getting world first. The vast majority of the playerbase doesn’t revolve the way they play around them. And I’ll be the first to tell you, anyone that switched to horde for the racials just because Method did is a fool if they think that gave them an advantage and they wasted their money for nothing.
Basing any argument on “Method did it” usually just makes it look like you really don’t know what you’re talking about.
