Oh, my sweet summer child. Vanilla WoW had world pvp, but faction imbalances were never this over the top. This is quite far removed from the vanilla experience.

I saw a post earlier where an alliance was complaining about dying on a server with a heavy alliance bias⌠they just complain
I honestly stopped playing classic three weeks ago after getting camped by a group of rogues and priests for nearly a week straight while I was leveling. Who has that kind of time to destroy toons at half their level for upwards of eight hours a day? I love pvp, but when you canât even play the game, whats the point? No sense complaining about it. Just move on.
That there is just pvp servers though, people STILL camp Hellfire penninsula on retail to this day killing lowbies
O-okaaayy. What a completely irrelevant comment.
Stop pretending and stop lying. World pvp is trash always been trash and will stay being trash.
Do you understand what game classic is a port of? How on earth is this irrelevant? If people wanted the Asheronâs Call Darktide experience, theyâd be playing that.
Are you okay? Vanilla Stonemaul world pvp was actually pretty closely faction balanced and quite fun. Sorry you missed out.
Imagine getting so upset over two nights of PvP that you quit the game.

Eh, can you honestly blame folks who are sub-60? You really canât level in most 40+ zones right now. Its not worth it to pay for a game you canât play for many folks. They might resubscribe later, but their reaction is hardly surprising.

Faction imbalance is present in any MMO with world PvP. Youâre trying to prove youâre not a baby by complaining about something that every other gaming community deals with and overcomes. Yes, you might have to deviate from your ability rotation and class spec guides to deal with differing situations but back in the day we called that playing the game. Seriously, grow up.

I agree. I feel like Iâm being punished for not hitting 60 yet. At level 53 I canât even take two steps without getting camped by a pack of 60s. I get pvp, Iâve been around since the beginning but its not the same. But this isnât fun. blizzard launcher got deleted. too many new great games i donât want to miss out on.

In vanilla it was like 60/40, 55/45, etc.
In here? We have servers at 80/20, 90/10, itâs not just a simple imbalance
Did you actually play vanilla? Iâm getting the impression you did not and are basing this off some kind of private server fairytale. Faction imbalances existed but they were much more mild - 48-52% ratios MAYBE a handful in 60/40 ratios towards end vanilla, some pvp servers alliance dominated, some horde. It was a good mix.
The huge 80-20 imbalances with horde dominance across the board simply wasnt a thing in vanilla, even on servers like Illidan.
Asheronâs Call Darktide didnt have âfactionsâ so Iâm not sure what youâre referring to there.

Your assessment of the situation is spot on. The wow community causes most of itâs own problems. Donât get me wrong blizz makes some too. Then cries for blizz to fix them. Then cries more because blizz changed things. 
This is why blizz quit talking to these people.

Actually letting your subscription run out because youâre not having fun is a reasonable response to a temporary state of unplayability.

Stop it. Logic is not allowed around here. Either the sky is falling or youâre a paid blizzard employee.
Not referring to any of those games lol. I didnât play vanilla because I was playing actual MMOs. Remember vanilla WoW was what casualized the genre. We kinda looked down on you WoW folk because WoW was really kinda for babies.
I played Star Wars Galaxies when the Jedi character you spent a year unlocking could be perma killed by other players. You think EVE players complain about balance in those huge battles? All this experience with classic and its community is doing is remind me that, oh yeah; you are all really bad at MMOs.

Were any of the servers as imbalanced as, for example, ours at Stalagg? I donât remember any being so ridiculously skewed so early.
No, not that I know of off the top of my head. Iâm sure there was imbalanced servers, but 70/30 like stalagg? probably not
