Thought this expac would be fun and like old times, and like a fool turned warmode on to have some fun while I level.
Had no idea the result would be literally just me vs 500 alliance. I think I saw another horde maybe twice, and I’m almost level 74.
SMH @ Horde.
You can also just be in an unbalanced shard.

Alot of people just avoid War Mode on their 1st character in an expansion.
I’m sure as more people get to 80 on a character and start leveling alts more will be in War Mode.
Also this.
theres just not much fun in being outnumbered 5to1 everywhere u go it gets old quick
Was like that in BfA leveling, too. It’s always been that way, from my experience.
The whole “nobody plays Alliance” thing was the big lie.

BFA had the exp increase thing(don’t know if TWW has it) so Alliance had a much larger exp bonus than horde had, there was no real incentive for horde to turn war mode on.
I’m talking an hour after launch, we got steamrolled in Voldun by a 40-man Alliance zerg squad.

Yeah, Alliance had a 20% exp buff, horde had what… 5%? No real reason to turn it on.
We felt it badly on OCE realms because OCE is Alliance heavy.

Pretty sure the bonus was the same for both factions on launch.
Nope, it was based on who actually had war mode on across all servers, Since alot more horde were in war mode, Alliance got a bigger buff. Didn’t matter if you were on an Alliance heavy realm.
That is not how the war mode bonuses work. They are not automatically calculated, they are hand-assigned by Blizzard staff.
Nah WM is just unbalanced in alliance’s favor. It was like that all through DF too.
Back in the day horde used to rule pvp. Was gone a while. Came back and oops. The only constant is change
That is exactly how it worked.
Found this on google.
" War Mode Call to Arms is increasing the experience buff from 10% to 30% for players of the under-represented faction . In addition, the outnumbered faction receive a weekly quest to slay 25 level 120 players for ilvl 370 gear and 1000 of Artifact Power."
But that was for 8.1 so maybe you are right, later on it got changed.
I’ve had a very different experience, most days it would be like 4v8 or roughly at crates with it favoring different sides. Back in BFA it felt very Alliance favor where you had to leave WM because they just traveled in 40m kill balls.

Sounds like an excellent opportunity to make a name for yourself among the enemy faction

I normally play in Warmode on all my toons, but on release days, there are vastly more players playing outside of Warmode and it’s easier to kill things when there are lots of players around doing the same quests.
even balanced grobb in cata, is not balanced.
As a whole yes. By wcl logs. I do know when I tried it certain times of day you were among 1000’s…or you were really lonely. And dead, in a gy. A lot.
Power levelers want levels not deaths. this why classic has so many 99% servers.
and why retail has many opt out of warmode.
