I looked at ironforge.pro and noticed the population is already shifting more in Horde's favor

@Aulys-nemesis

So basically, me not being able to find a group to do a dg or raid isnt a problem?

Strawman Fallacy.

@Sádist-illidan

knows it’s broken

too obvious u are already trying to get it nerfed

[Aulys-nemesis]

@Diamondhndz-area-52

Faction imbalance is a separate issue, and tbh isn’t as important as a majority of the player base sitting in the capital city waiting to play the game.

me no being able(or taking too long) to find groups is the same as u ‘‘waiting’’ to play the game, in that case play bgs.

[Sádist-illidan]

Ahh… a troll, shocker. Lol. Goodbye little buddy.

Nope that comparison is literally a strawman fallacy.

Hey, if someone calling you out on the illegitimacy of your argument makes them a troll, then I am happy to be one.

[Aulys-nemesis]

thats a strawman fallacy

[Deathbreaker-ashkandi]

They’ll institute an exp buff that’ll favor any outnumbered faction if it’s more than a 25% swing to bring it more in line with a more balanced server pop.

@Zealous-arcanite-reaper

It was the boosts. You all have no clue what your talking about.

You could see it in prepatch. Soo many damn alliance came over and boosted mage/rogue/druid/warlock.

Add the BE?

That’s what did this.

I actually used a boost to roll Alliance, lol. Had 6 capped Horde.

[Hamshammich-whitemane]

@Jedditelol-deathwing

Imagine being so far down the western slope of a certain bell curve that you earnestly believe the Alliance faction crumbling is good for the game (said the Belfadin to absolutely nobody in particular).

Indeed. Cutting off their nose to spite their face.

[Hamshammich-whitemane]

@Maximumfat-gurubashi

No you can’t. Also you don’t know what mutually exclusive means apparently.

So you don’t think some are quitting (completely) and some are switching? has to be all or nothing or it’s not true? lol.

[Nomnomnom-deviate-delight]

Exactly. Some are just quitting.

[Chucktaurus-kromcrush]

@Nomnomnom-deviate-delight

the thought of going Horde at the cost of long BG queues is kind of unthinkable

Look at my avatar. I am the PvP lovers you are talking about. If you rolled ally for the main reason of Qs you messed up because its not a faction perk. Its a Q system, one ally abused for awhile in vanilla classic.

Enjoy seeing our premades during the next test.

[Bootynuzzler-whitemane]

I don’t know man. Whitemane shifted heavily in Horde’s favor when TBC launched, but the Alliance population is actually starting to increase. And personally, what my character looks like has always been more important to me in an RPG than doing 50 extra dps or w/e, and that’s why I chose Alliance. I’m sure there are tons of players that think the same way.

[Namhadi-pagle]

I think the damage has been done. Alliance players have spent literally tens of thousands of dollars to transfer. It was a mistake to do HvH without at least trying to assuage Alliance players concerns. But it’s done now, I doubt Blizzard can unring that bell.

[Nyaru-bloodsail-buccaneers]

Alot of doomcrying is all I’m seeing.

The same doomcryin that’s been happening since the original TBC for 12+ years, yet the alliance still manages to somehow not be dead.

You cannot force people to PvP if they do not want to PvP, and you cannot force people to play a faction they don’t have any interest in playing.

[Buddyboy-black-dragonflight]

Wdym the alliance is somehow not dead? The Alliance is a DEAD faction on retail, compare the LFG tool for mythic/arenas between Ally/horde

[Nyaru-bloodsail-buccaneers]

It’s not dead, just because it’s not the dominant faction doesn’t mean it’s dead.

[Namhadi-pagle]

If they have still their boost, that’s one avenue. They can also transfer to Alliance dominated realms, like they’re currently doing, or go PvE. I doubt many people will have to reroll, but I think this will be the nail in the coffin for faction balance.
