You have time to remove things like /spit but can’t balance factions after 15 years.
Can’t make obvious changes to PVP that people were calling for since beta.
Can’t include things like ranked solo queue for PVP which games like League of Legends had 10 years ago and you still haven’t figured out how to implement it.
I can tell you right now that a large portion of the people that unsubbed were Alliance players.
Just look at the number of people playing Horde at max level compared to Alliance, its literally 75-25.
You managed to ruin a key aspect of the game, faction balance, by giving Alliance nothing for over a decade.
Whats the plan now, admit WoW has failed and move on to something else?
Heres an idea, balance the game instead of doing drunk congo lines at Blizz headquarters.

Alliance has better racials for most content. It’s been that way for, what, a couple expansions now?
The factions aren’t imbalanced because of anything the Nefarious Blizzard has done to personally ruin your fun, they’re imbalanced because…they’re imbalanced. More (competitive) people play Horde because more people play Horde. That’s it.
There is nothing Blizzard can do to fix a player-driven problem like faction imbalance, short of simply allowing players to group up for certain content regardless of faction. Which is something they’ve at least acknowledged they’re considering.
If they want to balance faction then they have to nerf Alliance racial at this point, careful what you asked for.
Nah. Horde racials were better in Vanilla, TBC and almost every expansion.
Right now Alliance racials are about even with Horde but once again, EVEN, is not enough to get people to transfer to Alliance and fix over a decade of Horde having better racials.
People went Horde in the first place for better racials, I don’t get how people like you still dont understand that?
Nothing they can do? LMAO. How about buffing Alliance racials and better Alliance storylines and interesting Alliance only content?
Theres tons of things they can do to fix the problem but they wont because people like you absolve a billion dollar corporation of actually doing their jobs and balancing the game.

Is that why 75% of the ladder over 2200 is Horde?
I just told you, making Alliance racials even with Horde won’t fix 10 years of faction imbalance.
Alliance would been a significant buff to get people to switch back.

It’s not Blizzard’s fault Alliance players is trash?
How do you balance player’s issue?

Early in wod, alliance had a big racial advantage that resulted in a shift to alliance for PvPers that lasted the entire expansion, even though it was soon nerfed. Also, Horde garrison was utter trash, and a lot of players who wanted to play Horde couldn’t put themselves through that. When things were changed in Legion, people went back to playing the faction they wanted to play. And since changes to PvP meant it lost a lot of participation, that became less of a factor.
The big change of the week is that they made the transmog icon on your transmog mount display in pink. Super important.
The balancing of WoW is happening.
Void elves will bring balance.
The OP has just enough salt for me to finish cooking my dinner tonight.

Short of locking one faction off from new characters, there is nothing bliz can do. People are going to play what they want and at the moment most people prefer mud huts and grunting.
First off stop roleplaying “For the Horde” comments, it’s really pathetic. Your level 10 alt isnt fooling anyone we know you play Horde.
Most of the top Alliance players went Horde a long time ago for better racials
Then swap the racials and see what happens.
Not true, all they need to do is allow people to group cross faction. There is no longer a need to prevent horde and alliance from grouping. The terrible story writers have us working together every expansion anyway. The “war” aspect is old and dated.

Have you tried Hello Kitty online?
I remember WoD perfectly, Alliance advantage lasted about half the expansion. By the end of the expansion they were already buffed and Horde was better again.
Heres the difference man, Alliance has brief periods of a half an expansion where they are better.
Horde has multiple expansions lasting 5+ years where they are better.
I can’t make you admit reality, but look at the arena representation numbers/mythic raiding and the fact that 75% of the playerbase is playing Horde.
These things WILL further kill the game.
If you want to ignore it and post some drivel about how Horde was worse(when we know thats not true) thats your choice.
Have you tried not responding like a petulant child?

A bit of a false equivalency there.
What changes? Since what beta?
Should PvP be balanced around 1 vs 1?
Prove it.
Perhaps all the players you claim unsubbed simply went Horde?
Broken record but - how does Blizzard fix a problem the player base created and has little control over other than restricting a player’s options and freedom to choose?
Probably not.
I don’t see why those two things have to be mutually exclusive.
