If you go to merc mode the ally/horde ratio will get really bad on pvp servers.
Read these posts. Look at the type of people you have to deal with as ally. Don’t Take away instant premade ques, it is fair compensation for dealing with their faction mates…
Show me direct third part independently verfiable evidence that Merc Mode will affect negatively affect alliance players when they go and and farm, or do 5 mans or raid?
This is the lie that alliance players are peddling that Merc mode will somehow put and end tot he alliance player base and that is a complete fabrication.
There is a massive argument in favour or Merc Mode and no argument that holds any water agaisnt it.
No virtue signaling. I just specifically remember your name, and did some checking behind the scenes while you were writing your reply. Neglectful, we meet again lol.
As far as AV and addons being banned being the cause of what killed AV premades - it’s factually incorrect and not even an argument. You either ranked in AV as alliance and know or you didn’t and talk out of your rear end.
You said there wasn’t an addon. Me and some other random guy called you out. You denied there being an addon. There was an addon. We were just discussing it earlier as well. It’s not even funny at this point, it’s just sad. It’s a public forum, why lie about the non-controversial past?
It’s definitely identity politics.
Let me repeat → This is an identity politics argument. Sorry you are too dim witted to admit the truth on a public forum.
Why the hell would I go to the trouble of even trying to do that?
Blizzard aren’t going to change anything.
Merc mode was introduced in Retail when it was overwhelmingly apparent nobody wanted to play alliance.
When you remove incentive/perks of the minority faction - the outcome will be people no longer playing that faction. This doesn’t require third party verified evidence just because you’re stuck in some delusion over your character efficacy less than 3 weeks into a new expansions launch.
I think everyone can agree the current honor gains are absolute garbage and do nothing but dissuade people from even playing. In the case of alliance, this just hurts horde players even more.
Spending 25 minutes getting beaten down in an EOTS for 200 tells the average alliance player to not bother. Why do that when you can go pug Karazahn because its a joke?
