Merc Mode For Alliance

I main alliance, I would like the option to play horde side without having to swap to horde toon…every once in a blue moon the merc for alliance is up. I would like for it to be up fulltime pls and thank you.

The only problem is I get turned into a orc or undead male YIKES :grimacing: I don’t think my mog goes well with them. I don’t see a problem with enabling mercenary ques for everyone functionally though

Only problem with the idea is large swathes of the solo/pug Alliance playerpool would rush to go merc mode and Horde queue times would go up by a lot (fewer players queuing Alliance)

The “horde always wins” and “i just want one win today” comments are still fairly common in the chat-box during Alliance solo/pug-queue BGs

it makes not sense why we don’t just have mixed faction queues. Horde and Alliance are back together holding hands and singing Kumbaya in Valdrakken, but won’t work together to capture a few flags?

Really should just mix the factions

Forget merc mode, just make bgs random faction

Agreed. RBGs are cross-faction, there’s no logical reason that random BGs can’t be.

Unless you hate faster queue times, mixed random BGs is a good idea.

Would be fun to face the same people you play with

Would make it like in-house games for bg rats

Would get super competitive and be really fun

Horde honestly doesn’t have very many good bg regulars anymore. It’s kind of sad. I’ve considered going horde just to get more competition

Only good horde bg dps nowadays is like random backpeddling mm/destro/frost mage players.

I would LOVE to take down that guy barking orders and calling everyone bad while sitting the whole game at ST. I would make whatever node he is at my main priority moving forward.

Right???

It would make it a blast

Yeah, you’d be reported for gameplay sabotage if you were playing on our side in a game with us. :wink: Hiding in bases being useless.

That’s kinda weirdchamp

I don’t like enfer’s either, but mass reporting someone just for the sake of reporting is pretty lame man

Many people are unhinged in their attacks @ me

tbh you kinda ask for it

Talk trash to everyone you meet, constantly make extremely “hot take” threads on the forums, openly admit to buying boosts and using exploits to get rating, etc etc etc

We wouldn’t do it for no reason of course. Only when he’s hiding in the base being useless. We see him doing it on ally side every time we fight him (he runs away).

Using LoS when you’re getting focused down is a pretty standard move

Considering how often he wins epics solo, it’s a strategy that’s working for him

His ashran win rate is about the same as yours (not qing with 39 friends)

What qualifies as a hot take is dependent on the person

Actually, no it doesn’t. A hot take is an unpopular opinion to the masses

Well then a hot take shouldn’t really be a negative thing cause without “hot takes” you get npc world “ what did you say? Exterminate exterminate” hot takes are a good thing

They’re a good thing if you wanna get mass reported by a bunch of people who don’t like you <3

Well it’s a good thing gms have the good sense to not ban people for not being yes men. Atleast not yet I’m sure we will get there eventually just looking at some gms twitter and the unhinged takes that are on there
