Quitting over queue times. Isn’t it time to fix your game yet? Or are you waiting to lose a million dollars a month first? Phase 1 is done. A lot of us have already killed Gruul, Mag, and Nightbane. You need to fix this now. Not tomorrow, not after breakfast. now.
Good riddance. The more streamers that quit, the better.
Literally who?
If you’ve finished all the raids already I recommend trying life off WoW. Jesus.
If it’s not wowcrendor, I don’t care.
And even if it is wowcrendor, I still don’t care.
I just gave him a sub and a like good video
You could have went alliance fyi, but if you’d rather cry and quit, then so be it. Bye bye. 1 less horde in our queue.
I don’t think anyone really cares.
should ban him from retail for playing pservers…and admitting it
Nah this person rolled a new Horde toon 1-70 a month ago. He fully knew what he was getting into but probably thought “I’ll just complain instead of being part of the solution”.
I hope they add paid faction changes to help balance factions a bit. But I secretly hope they do nothing just so OP rots in 4 hours queues once every alliance player has their honor gear.
Faction transfers would honestly have to be Horde -> Ally only, or it’d likely make it worse.
They don’t have to be one way only.
Who cares if some Alliance players switch Horde? Everyone would have a solution to their problems:
Want more people to play with? Go horde. Want fast queues? Go alliance. Unfortunately you can’t have both.
Well, fair. If the addition of transfers would be to try and alleviate queues, it’d fail. But if it’s giving players the option to transfer - for faster queues, or for a better playerbase - then the option is better than none.
“A lot of us” does not equate to “All of us” or a “Vast majority of us” you know. Why should a company make decisions based in favor of the few instead of the many?
From watching 1 min of the video it was obvious that he wasnt going to last long. He would have quit sooner than later.
I’m actually not even queueing yet. Plenty of rep and profession stuff to grind in the meanwhile. My concern is for the health of the game long term. The casuals aren’t going to sit in those queues, and Blizzard isn’t going to let those millions of dollar go away.
The only viable solution is for the horde to play ally.
who asked?
It sounds like you’re suggesting the majority is more important than the minority, and that what the Alliance PvPers care about doesn’t matter. I’m not sure if that was really it though.
I think most horde and alliance players would agree that streamers are a large part of the problem. Gaming today seems to have shifted to a world of min/maxing with metas being set by twitch and youtube gamers.
In retail that meta changes constantly. Not because it needs to, but because streamer Joe needs to keep releasing fresh content to keep his views high. Blizzard made a change to a covenant, some streamer doesn’t like it and switches covenants. Next thing you know that’s the new meta and everyone is chasing after it. I don’t even understand how people can get enjoyment out of video games playing like this.
So may people determine what and how they will play based on the opinion of these individuals. Even icy-veins and wowhead seem to be driven by streamers.
A streamer decides they’ll play x faction on x server and thousands of people follow suit. They carry a huge amount of influence. Most if not all of the serious pvp streamers min/maxed and went horde (I wouldn’t consider asmonwhatever who went alliance a pvper). It’s likely this is a large contributor to the increased imbalance with TBC.
The scariest part is, because streamers command such a massive following, game companies appear afraid of them and will often tailor their games to keep these people happy. Again, something you can see in retail all the time when a streamer complains about something being super OP. Next week, it’s nerfed.
