It’s funny that the majority of the people saying “QQ” “you’re just bad” “quit crying” are the same people who whined about alliance queuing into AV as an organized group…which happened in vanilla…the only difference is that the horde call in exploiting…cheating…when they could also get on discord and countdown and hit que at the same time. You say “it helped out the alliance more then the horde” is laughable. You were winning 50/50 of your fights Bc games started with like 20 people. Now you aren’t whining Bc you win 99.9% of the games and laugh at us.
Quit telling us to “quit qqing” when if you look back a few weeks, every. Single. Thread. Was horde doing the exact same thing, crying, about how BGs were set up.
Since BG’s are stale and super messed up right now, and it sounds like you have an appetite for world pvp, Grobbulus is probably the place to be. They’re in a perpetual state of a good version of phase 2. Look up their “Azeroth War Campaign” and join one of the guilds participating and fight for territory. Looks cool, if I didn’t love the people in my guild, I’d transfer right away. Very even faction balance there too. In fact Alliance seem to have the majority of the powerhouse guilds there according to raid logs.
How am I contradicting myself? It’s all part of the problem.
Bg’s are terrible.
Server imbalance are terrible.
I have only left IF on my hunter and mage for raids (and the rare times I do ZF) and haven’t venture out in the world. All I want to do is bg… and that is no longer fun for me.
I suggest abandoning Herod, like I have a long time ago. This game is not meant to be played on heavily imbalanced servers. Transfer off to Grobbulus or Incendius. I am on Grobbulus. The wpvp is a blast! Both factions have equal numbers, so both horde and alliance can farm in the open world, no faction is permanently shut down. I like to farm elemental fires at the circle of binding in Arathi. They are 8G each. The horde likes to farm them too. The PvP for the elementals is brutal, organic, fair, and very fun. Sometimes it’s 3 v 1 against you. But you can easily recruit 2 friends to join you. After all, it will be worthwhile. Sometimes it’s 1 v 1. A duel to the death with a great farming spot as a reward.
Wpvp in Classic is great. It’s just that you play on a dying server. Leave Herod and make it go the way of Stalagg. Join a balanced server and have some fun.
For someone who “Pvp’d alot” you seem to be a bit unfamiliar with the current PvP landscape, so allow me to explain.
If you want to queue up against other premades, Tuesday/Wed are the best days. Queues are fast for both factions (as low as 3 minutes on Horde), and a good 80% of your games are going to be against enemy premades. This is because honor has just reset, and the rankers are out in force.
Now the hardcore rankers typically don’t need to rank for a full 7 days, so what this translates into, is by Sunday/Monday, queues get much longer, but as a trade off, the only teams you’re really running into are pugs, and sh!t-mades (casual trade chat teams, or people randomly thrown together which are effectively no more than a glorified pug anyway).
If you’re just trying to have fun, Sundays and Mondays are the days to crank some WSG.
Back to this point. So you’re saying, as a pug, you fight nothing but premades, but as a premade, you fight nothing but pugs?
This is either baldly false, or a wonderful example of confirmation bias. Take your pick, because either way—that’s just not how any of this works.
Of cause I am not saying as a premade all we fight is pugs. But the majority of them are. What I am saying is I get more enjoyment from queuen solo and currently it’s just not fun.
You know, this might actually be true for you, since there are a lot more Horde queuing for BGs in general than there are Alliance, but as a Horde ranker who plays exclusively in premades, I can tell you for a fact that we actually run into pugs very rarely, with the exception of Sundays and Mondays, for the reasons stated above.
Why would I need to lie? Believe me, no alliance is pug’n wsg… they are in AV. Only people queuen up for WSG are in premades. AV is still the best HPH for solo’s.
