since launch ive tried for somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 crates give or take, may be 80, may be 120…its a lot…i go for every one when it comes up…ive gotten 4. if you do the math i literally, and any alliance could literally have actually a couple of toons completely and fully geared from doing nothing but existing…they literally just, get free gear. wtf…there needs to be some sort of compensation for this. I have an 80% loss rate in rbgb…i dont think horde has won more than 2 or 3 random bgs since launch. i have won 2 epic bgs…and i absolutely wont play shuffle. all of this loss after loss to watch them just fly down and pick up the free gear is absolutely infuriating…im literally tempted to just make an ally toon, get the free stuff and transfer over after the couple days it will take. i dont know what the solution is but it really sucks. the imbalance has a lot do with racials, id assume we start there and make them non interactive for combat or something. I dont particularly care to play alliance at all…i shouldnt be basically forced to to enjoy the game.
Kinda just sounds like the horde arent into WPvP.
Alliance racials are better in PvP, leading to more alliance players. Simple as that.
Don’t hold your breathe for a fix.
It’s more so that a majority of people that are generally interested in PvP will do anything to get the slightest advantage, especially in content like arenas.
Because of this, we’ve had people over the course of the last few expansions switch from Alliance to Horde/Horde to Alliance for their racials. At the moment, it’s Night Elf. Lots of Horde race changed whenever Orc Hardiness got nerfed back at the end of SL/start of Dragonflight (50% nerf; from 20% Stun Reduc → 10%).
Whenever something like this happens, faction population shifts, what was once Horde dominating in War Mode is now Alliance dominating in War Mode.
Sharding is also a contributing factor, sharding is awful. You’ll get heavily unbalanced shards which kills the experience for many trying to get into War Mode.
I think you’re all delulu and horde has just faked themselves out in to thinking it’s hopeless and stopped turning warmode on.
Because when we do get people out, we wipe them up pretty easily.
Nah, Stormwind is a better capital city and we have better looking races.
You do have better capitals, I’ll give you that.
But you also got diaper gnomes.
the gear is already mostly free though. Its so easy to get through multiple different channels that none of this really matters. Like alliance dont outgear horde because of warmode crates. everybody that cares has all of the gear with minimal effort regardless of faction.
this is probably true, and is at least somewhat understandable. You can just turn warmode off lol. like the second that its annoying you just go turn it off. its always been an issue with one of the two factions opting out of it out of sheer inconvenience of having it on
yep. I saw alliance do it before, and im seeing horde do it now.
people want easy wins and loot, so if they arent dominant they opt out.
Its why people back in the day went to pvp realms, but chose realms with 90% one faction over the other…
were all chickens.
Nah, the point Im trying to make is that it’s not about Horde or Alliance. People generally tend to follow the crowd, and in this case, people swapped to Alliance because of superior racials (all just to get that slightest advantage in PvP).
When something like this happens, theres obviously a shift in population and what follows is that one faction will start to dominate the other. Its not simply, “horde doesn’t wanna turn WM on” or “alliance doesn’t wanna turn WM on”.
Like you said yourself:
It’s because of the shifts I was talking about.
EDIT: Just want to clarify something, I’m not complaining about there being more Alliance. Its more to kill for me, so I’m fine with it. I don’t really care for the crates either, I just kill people and that’s it.
basically is how it started back in BFA. PVP was horde dom and WM was just not worth the added grief for ally if you’re just trying to do WQ or whatever random PVE objective you wanted to waste time on since it was all given to you for free 1 patch later.
We just end up with the dominant faction having no reason to turn it off, further solidifying the pop advantage, and the beta faction having no reason to turn it on for 10% more of some kek worthless trash. the only people turning it on for the beta faction are pvpers with intent.
Let’s be honest. No one has ever made one though…
I rember the bounty target was always the horde death ball slowing rolling around in BFA. Could always pin point the raids location
Horde only get crates or bounty status when full raids show up. I’ve idled for hours in zones and Spy only pings druid bots every 30 minutes or so.
