Yeah try being in a que for 10+ minutes to join a in progress losing bg happens all the time not as bad on Alliance cus their ques are so short.

@Armalite-emerald-dream

you shouldn’t be rewarded for not playing Alliance either

He’s not. The problem created by OTHER players choosing to no longer play alliance is being fixed for him. That’s not a reward, that’s balance.

@Astrien-emerald-dream

Maybe you should go and take your alliance players back. The ones who moved here for racials, or something, pretending like it matters.

If i could push a button and turn all former Alliance back to Alliance i would.

@Airport-stormrage

No thanks. I want in opt-out of feature to never have to group with hordes’s. This thread is reason why I don’t want to group up with them.

You’re not getting it.

PS: It’s hilarious you hid your profile, because all i have to do is click on literally anyone else, then search for your name. Bam profile.

@Airport-stormrage

Agreed. I will gladly do BGs on my geared alliance main but if merc mode is still going to be here, then doing BGs on my undergeared horde alts with 8k health is sufficient for that BG itch.

There’s definitely entertainment to be had when horde loses a BG and with their long queues also.

Most Horde groups aren’t so bad as to lose to Alliance just because you’re useless.

[Radlok-malfurion]

You don’t need the Hordes help “throwing matches”. You guys do a fine job of that on your own.

[Furvanas-area-52]

Yeah, all the merc hordes are ungeared ones…

@Glavemistake-zuljin

don’t know where you are getting your facts but thats incorrect, feelings are not facts.

You make no sense. No feelings were expressed in my post. Facts were listed because I was there as noted. Examples of expressed feelings would be your feeble triggered response. Btw, learn to spell glaive, or is that the “mistake”? From your weak retort, I cannot give you that credit…

[Quincart-moon-guard]

if alliance is upset that they lose all the time it’s simple go horde

@Sweetjuice-sargeras

for abuse and trolling,

Le sigh… For the first part… The fish feast guys trolled both sides. Not just alliance. Sooo pretty irrelevant to Merc mode.

@Sweetjuice-sargeras

but you purposely choose the faction that has alot more players, and that need to come with consequences

Naw… It’s way healthier for the game for everyone to have faster que times. Merc mode is a minor thing that isn’t anything but positive.

[Soulebreaker-hyjal]

Get more of your Alliance buds to PVP. Alliance isn’t under-populated. It just doesn’t participate often.

[Féyrre-wyrmrest-accord]

Holy crap, this is an old thread.

[Nawat-emerald-dream (Nawat)]

@Airport-stormrage

Alliance get horde players that afk or sabotage the alliance.

Nice tin foil hat. I played alliance this entire last season and I never saw a single horde person trolling. They were just some random dude like every other alliance player. One random troll on 50 games isn’t any different than some alliance troll or horde trolling horde.

Merc mode is fine. There’s no conspiracy of horde players out there trying to sabotage alliance games most people play to win. Horde mercs included.

[Agrias-bloodsail-buccaneers]

This is a slightly aged thread… it’s like… right around the time everyone started doing lock down activities. Ah… memories.

The original reason for merc mode was to allow horde players to queue for randoms without a long wait - I believe this was first setup so balanced Ashran games could run and people didn’t have to wait forever for a match.

I’m a fan of merc mode BUT I’d like to see it offered equally on both sides. There’s no reason horde should get exclusive access to it, even if queue times are longer.

[Senirel-argent-dawn]

I’m torn on this, part of me wants to say let them have the quicker queue times, yet another part of me wants to say, you chose the more popular faction, you can deal with the longer queue times. Shouldn’t be able to have your cake and eat it too.

[Kentaurus-turalyon (Kentaurus)]

Fine, but only if both sides lose access.

[Valarien-area-52 (Valarien)]

I’d be sad to see it go only because I hate playing pvp and when I do I prefer beating up on the dominant faction.

I always feel bad killing alliance on my horde toons.

[Nawat-emerald-dream (Nawat)]

@Airport-stormrage

How about alliance avoid that horde merc troll entirely?

You missed the point entirely the horde troll isn’t any different than the alliance troll that would take his place. That’s gonna happen occasionally in random bgs.

Horde mercs do not increase your odds of getting a troll.

@Airport-stormrage

Having an afk alliance player is bad enough but now add afk horde mercs?

Alliance afk out easier because of short que times. So of anything you’re profiting from having horde mercs.

@Airport-stormrage

? It makes for a very miserable BG experience for alliance.

Really eh? I had a blast and a 60% win rate. Sounds like a you problem and not a horde tin foil hat issue

[Kentaurus-turalyon (Kentaurus)]

We all play the same game, so…both sides are more than capable of being toxic, especially in PvP. This isn’t something the Horde “brings over”. It already exists, regardless of one’s faction.

[Discofevre-wyrmrest-accord]

Tribalism is my favorite high, it’s always the horde’s fault isn’t it?

[Kentaurus-turalyon (Kentaurus)]

And yet you have the same amount of toxicity with or without the Horde in merc mode. Honestly, judging by your attitude toward the opposing faction I have to wonder if it isn’t other players. Some self reflection may be in order.

[Evilbadguy-malganis (Evilbadguy)]

That’s a good idea of they want to help faction balance, they should start by removing Merc mode.
