I never got on the forums and demanded Blizzard give the horde on Heartseeker free transfers off. But I did spend a lot of time trying to get Blizzard to balance Heartseeker. Not only did I spend a lot of time trying to encourage horde to take the free transfers here, but my plan to balance all servers was what I called “same-server priority battlegrounds”.
My first mention of it on the forums was on December 6th, before battlegrounds were released. And if you search the forums for “same-server priority” or “same-realm priority” or “realm priority” the top searches should all be me or my alt, Redbud.
My position was that CRBG’s meant that the horde on Skeram/Stalagg could sit on a 20/80 server, and get exactly the same BG queues as horde on a 80/20 server. And that without CRBG’s, there is no way the horde on Skeram/Stalagg, or the alliance on Heartseeker, would have stayed on those servers.
Had Blizzard adopted my idea, all servers would be pretty close to 50/50.
