The ultimate solution is always to revert back to same server BGs- Horde keep their ez mode wpvp, but the consequence is higher queue times. Both sides get a benefit, there’s actually some consolation for being on the outnumbered side- and it makes it more enticing to not stack a server like Horde have done.
Except that you’re not. You’re only saying that because you know you wouldn’t have to wait in queue at all. It’s the horde players who will have options forced on them that you wouldn’t take.
You want them to “balance” your server by forcing large numbers of horde players to quit. Good luck with that.
And you can keep repeating that silly line about “those players will want to faction switch to alliance.” They won’t.
People who have the option of playing the game the way they have chosen to removed from them have overwhelmingly quit over the years. This would be no different. Changing the rules at this point would feel like a bait and switch.
People who leave under circumstances like the one you support don’t come back. They are gone forever.
And I know you think the game would be stronger or better with only a fraction of the players than currently play.
That’s why retail is in the mess it is now. Because every time a wave of people left over some legitimate or imagined slight, people like you said, “we don’t need those players.”
Which is why there are now 10 million fewer subscribers than there were at the start of wod.
I’m relatively certain I WOULD have to wait in queue. As one of the larger servers, if they lowered server sizes across the board as outlined in my suggested, I’d be waiting in queue just like Horde would be.
There are probably enough people to fill 3 or more original vanilla size servers on Grobbulus at the moment.
None of that is relevant. There is no way to balance servers without forcing a great many paying customers out of the game.
If you logged in one day and found you were no longer going to be permitted to play when you wanted to, “Oh, look, I just missed raid, cool!” No. Despite all your lofty claims, you’d quit too.
i can see some elietists who cant handle the grind/Networking to get high ranks and who want High warlord xfering off so they can have less competition.
Are there any "dead server"s? There are 35 servers. 7 are marked “medium”, and all the others are High or Full. I haven’t seen “Low” on the Classic realm selection pages since week 1 or 2.
I play 2 servers, so I switch several times a day, and see the realm selection pages every day.
One of my servers is a “medium” one. I’ve never been in stormwind or ironforge without seeing at least 20 other players – that I can see! That is not a “dead server” to me.
That’s the question. Considering large horde populations mean better PvE opportunities as well.
