Blizzard’s been that way for years as well. They’re FINALLY starting to gradually allow themselves to consider the possibility, I assume because their internal data sets are screaming it at them so loudly that even they can’t ignore it anymore.
simple answer. Go back to what a paladin is. Simply give all paladins a spell called “Destroy undead.” The spell is cast in and has the area effect as light of dawn. The spell would instantly kill all undead in its area of effect. Either that or have Consecrate instantly kill undead in its AOE range. You would see a massive influx of players into the alliance. The horde could not complain since their paladins would get the same spell and would work against alliance DK’s
Guys… come on. A level 56 death knight (freshly created) with absolutely 0 other posts on this forum came up and made a bunch of wild and emotionally charged statements without any references to identifiable facts, statistics, or metrics. Over 450 people have taken this bait and are now arguing the merits of their own faction or whether or not the Alliance is filled with “Horde players playing Alliance alts.” Come on, none of this is productive.
At max level, yes; the Horde has a slight edge over Alliance players. Whether or not this impacts your gameplay is dependent on your server, shard, and war mode preferences and end-game interests amongst your community.
Alliance is slower to complete raids than Horde. That’s fine; if you’re not aiming to be a top-ten guild this doesn’t affect you. Alliance beats Horde in the battle of Naz every time on RP shards and war mode as a whole is generally far more balanced for Alliance players. Turning it off in frustration for getting ganked a few times hurts your faction more than anything else.
And absolutely nothing indicates that the Alliance is on “life support.” That’s just needlessly hyperbolic. 45% of the overall 120 population is nowhere near life support.
That’d be like installing a catheter in someone who comes in with a mild cold.
If people were going back and forth with the poster, I’d be inclined to agree. But the the thread has kind of forgotten about him and is looking at how players congregate on either server and the contributing factors, which is an interesting discussion in and of itself.
Whether Alliance is full of Horde alts kind of happened on its own. The OP didn’t even bring that one up.
most reasonable person ive seen in a while. ive said this for a few weeks now, how do the top raiding guilds effect the average player in any way? and how does 1 side having 10% more players ruin world pvp, raiding, instanced pvp, and every piece of content this game has to offer? it boggles my mind
Because what I have been saying since I got in this thread is that the Horde has more 120s than the Alliance because the Alliance has more lowbie alts than the Horde.
I have a lot of lowbie alts in the Alliance. That’s what I am talking about.
