Nobody is crying about PvP

I can say that because all those interactions existed prior to the introduction of honor.

Okay? I’m not sure how that is relevant.

The issue being discussed is faction balance, not the existence of the ranking system.

@Incelf-bigglesworth

Prior to the introduction of honor people were killed at flight paths, people were killed on the way to BRD, people were ganked while leveling. But it wasn’t a problem then.

I agree, it wasn’t a problem, but according to many, it was and still is.

There were dozens of threads complaining about the things I listed well before the honor system existed.

There were and still are Horde complaining about the same problems as Alliance despite being on a massively overpopulated realm in favor of Horde.

There are also people complaining about the things I listed on almost perfectly balanced realms. For example, Faerlina. That realm is ~45:55 Alliance to Horde, yet the EXACT SAME COMPLAINTS are made by folks from that realm.

The issue is that some people simply do not like world PvP and they should be on a PvE realm. Balancing the realm will not stop them from being camped at the flight path; it will not stop them from dying on the way to their instances, and it will not stop them from struggling to level alts because of 60s running around killing them constantly.

Will it happen less frequently? Perhaps, but it will still happen, WHICH IS WHAT I SAID IN MY ORIGINAL REPLY:

@Ohshiftson-stalagg

Because the things people complain about would happen regardless of faction balance, e.g. being killed at flight paths or on the way to BRM, not being able to level alts, etc.

I never said they would happen at the same frequency. If the complaint is “I absolutely hate this 1v10 crap everywhere,” perhaps faction balance would help (although not necessarily. You can balance the realm population, but that doesn’t mean you’ll always have a fair fight out in the world), but if your complaint is “I died after landing at a flight path” or “I got corpse camped on my way to an instance,” balancing the realm won’t fix that.

At best, it will swap which faction is being camped more often. Even on my realm, one of the worst imbalanced realms in North America in favor of Horde, we Alliance still corpse camp plenty of Horde in just the same way they do to us.

If you want balanced PvP battles, wait for and enjoy battlegrounds. World PvP is not for your perfectly matched battles.

If you can’t argue your own point or logic, why bother posting it?

I most certainly can and will argue my own point and/or logic; I just don’t bother wasting my time doing so to people who make responses completely lacking any substance like “Really?”

I’m sure many others have pointed out the stupidity of basically everything you’ve said in this thread so far, but since I only have so much time in the day to browse these threads, I’ll jump in here. In addition to cherry picking Incelf’s responses to you and ignoring almost all of the substance of his arguments, you also are completely missing the point.

People are not frustrated that they “got killed at a flight path”. The obvious, implied, unspoken additional sentence after that is “and there’s nothing I can do about it”. I would ask you if you actually believe people are upset that they died at a flight path, but then you would ignore all the rest of my post and only quote that one sentence so you don’t have to deal with the argument, though you’ll find a way. You always find a way. Maybe you’ll just quote the last sentence of my first paragraph instead to dodge the argument.

Faction imbalance is the root of the problem. People would not be upset about repeatedly dying in WPVP if they had a fighting chance. It is the perceived hopelessness of these encounters that is sparking the outrage, not the actual occurrence of them.
