I have noticed, as of late, that the alliance will form a 40 man raid (sometimes more than one 40 man raid) and run around during incursions farming honor/kills and literally crashing the servers. Would it be possible for Blizzard to reveal some numbers associated with Warmode during Incursions to prove the need for the 30% “Balance” buff? I realize there are more horde players overall, which is what the current metric is based off of; however, what are the numbers associated with Incursions because, as of right now, I’m not seeing balance at all. Obviously I am one person so it’s anecdotal and thus why I am asking for Blizzard to reveal some numbers for us.
A quick way to balance this would be to have a dynamic buff that changes with the server population instead of the weekly static buff we’re seeing. As one population increases on the server the buff decreases and vice versa.

Thank you for your constructive criticism towards working for a solution to an existing problem that potentially can be affecting both the alliance and the horde.
Lol wuut!?! The Alliance cried about WM. Then got a 30% crybaby buff for it.
This comment isn’t constructive towards a solution either.

Actually we’re not in 40 man raids because we don’t get credit for the quest to kill Horde in raid groups. There’s just 40+ of us at the incursions to do the quests and kill Horde.

Now’s he’s quiet. Typical Night Elf.
From what I’m seeing Belitt, it’s a full 40 man raid or more that phases into the zone, crushes everyone, then they change the leader of the group to phase to a different server to farm kills/honor.
I do the incursions wm off.
Right, which is why I’m curious as to what the numbers are during the incursions. I’m sure you’re not alone in that process.
Pretty sure it was the horde crying there was no alliance to kill, u seriously think blizzard gives a *^%^ about the alliance?

Well the way conversations are going .it seems they don’t care about horde or alliance and are secretly planning a third faction.

Your portrayal is not accurate in the slightest. The last incursion I did there were literally 80+ horde in my immediate area in Stormsong with about 5 Alliance. During one point in the incursion the sharding changed up and there was a 40 man Alliance group and we beat back a group of horde that were about the same size. About 5 minutes later that group was gone and it was back to about 60 horde and 10 Alliance.
The vast majority of the time the horde outnumbers the Alliance. That is beyond dispute. Just because every once in a while the Alliance fights back doesn’t mean you have to come to the forums and cry about it.

It happens on both sides. Everyone’s getting shafted and everyone’s doing the killing. If you run into problems, use the group finder and find a squad that are willing to help each other out or turn warmode off.

Did I not say that my thought process was anecdotal and thus why I am asking Blizzard to reveal numbers for us?
We know that the overall numbers of those playing with warmode on vastly favors the horde, thus why Alliance get a small buff to compensate for the added risk of turning warmode on. That is how the system is built. Every once in a while you may be in an area with more alliance in it (i haven’t seen it happen) but that doesn’t mean that those numbers are representative of the entire server.

Yeah for the lag and server crash I don’t have answers for, but it’s never happened to me. (yet lol)
But for the groups of Alliance attacking, just form groups of your own. Protect each other and stay together. I’ve made and been in groups that crush the Alliance groups out there. It doesn’t take long and they give up quickly after a few deaths.
I usually end up doing the Incursions multiple times bc I’m an altoholic. If I haven’t gotten my 25 for the weekly quest I’ll usually do it WM on unless I’m not feeling the patience for PvP. If I’ve already gotten my 25 on that character I’ll probably do the Incursion WM off.
I am not certain what is going on. I have done incursion s vastly outnumbered. Complete it finally, hop on another toon and never see an alliance. I have been part of the sweeping party. I have been mopped til the blood was dry. And I have had some epic large scale fights.
The problem is though, it does not seem consistent.

Yes, for the entire week; however, I am interested to see if it is actually balanced during an incursion itself and from server to server.
