Nah if blizz is going to take steps to fix a problem so be it. I would be accepting even if the tables were turned.
This eye for an eye bs over make believe fantasy land stuff is getting way out of hand.
whats illogical about it? horde win more bgs, they have the better racials
So if these changes don’t stick, you’ll accept that with open arms right?

It’s illogical to quit the game over queues after saying rolling for them is stupid.

Yep, lots and lots of hypocrisy on these forums.

Yes of course. I already said if the tables were flipped it wouldnt be an issue.
Blizzard has tried to balance the factions over the years, if you guys have a secret fix that will fix faction balance, I’m sure they would love it hear it. But no one ever has solutions, just complaints.

yeah spend months leveling and gearing a character on horde just to be told u cant pvp unless u can sit down for 18 hours a day and sit in queues. or forsake everything you worked for and start the grind over again on the opposite side. yeah id quit over reroll easy

The amount of people crying about horde being able to play the game is honestly astounding

I think you are missing the point. You were suppose to be smart AND roll alliance in the first place if you cared about bg queues.

i just dont believe that people are willing to relevel from level 1 to 70 on horde over this.
the idea that EVERYONE is this a hardcore min/maxxer that is willing to put in hours of /played time for a 1% advantage is frankly ridiculous.

not everyone played classic, i stopped at the beginning of p2 before bgs were released. i never saw queue times and its asinine to think everyone else did

And yet they’re important enough to redesign the bg queue system so that it only needs one faction to function?
BG queue times weren’t the only reason I chose alliance, but it’s definitely one of the bigger ones since PvP is the aspect of the game I enjoy most. Why wouldn’t that factor into a decision on which faction to play?

So like, do a little research? It was all over reddit. Ever hear about google? You can like, look stuff up you don’t know. It’s a 15 year old game with data from private servers that had this faction imbalance.

Most alliance I have “Debated” on the forums ignore every point I make, and just screech into the void that it isn’t real classic, and go back to retail.
Let me explain it one last time, more people play horde FACT, like it or not.
Blizzard is a business, they have tried to balance factions, but it’s harder than you think and takes time.
Blizzard being a business, can’t let horde queues stay at 1+ hour while they tinker with faction balance, so this is literally the best solution they have available to them atm.
Is it perfect? absolutely not, but it’s necessary, and alliance are being overly dramatic, and not listening to WHY this had to be done
Feel free to point out where I’m wrong? I’m right, but you being mad doesn’t make it any less true.

Oh, I understand how the short-sighted decisions are made. I think maybe other, more subtle options could have been tried before a drastic change like this.

i was already invested in horde for one thing, i had 2 60s by p2. private server data shows consistent faction balance or they lie about their numbers if it isnt balanced. Nobody except you apparently thinks to google about bg queue times ahead of an expansion launch. I am playing for the arena, not for bg spam but bg spam is an essential part of getting into arena teams
LOL this argument that “Blizzard tried” is ridiculous. They literally have done nothing. They could have gone the carrot route of private servers with exp, and honor boosts. They could have balanced racials. They could have done faction caps on realms or faction queues. They could have offered free faction transfers and at least tried that for a few months.
No one responds to your augment because you simply don’t have one. It’s ridiculous.

Hard disagree, but you’re emotional right now, so I’ll let it pass

What have they done to “try to balance factions” in either classic iteration?
