1 hour Q’s. Where exactly are all these players you mentioned would play?
I think there were a few players who liked being the “top dogs” in their realm and they aren’t even playing pvp anymore too busy raiding…
I say bring back the merge. Even if we have high ping at least we can play… It’s better than this nonsense.
EDIT: "Well if it’s true that it is only a faction imbalance. Is this due to returning Horde players? What exactly is the cause of the sudden imbalance?
The q’s were fine when the servers were merged right before launch of TBC? In fact they were only 10-15 min per Q for any BG."
Just need to look at the servers people are on from thread after thread about hour long queues. It’s OCE and NA - they both seem to have roughly the same ratio.
You’re Horde; that’s what the Q’s are in the NA battllegoup also. I was just playing my UD rogue today; the problem is there are simply too many players horde side doing BG and not enough Alliance participation.
Merging NA and OCE will not fix the problem for ya because it’s the same problem here in NA.

I mean at the moment I am in a Q for EOTS and WSG for 2 hours 50 minutes with no pop. Surely the US doesn’t have that type of ridiculousness? There is no one Qing for it.
WOW PVP has been trash for some time now, thanks Blizz did a great job making horde racials just a bit better then alliances.
Whole guilds went horde, alliance started sucking in PVP more players left to go horde cause better players on horde and so alliance started sucking more.
Losing 19 out of 20 BGs in a row gets old fast to the point I gave up on WOW PVP and from the sounds of it so did a lot of other people.
Unbalanced pvp is not fun.
If it’s not fun why do it.
Getting rolled by premade groups over and over is just not fun.
Enjoy your 2 hour queues there are other games to play that are actually fun play.
Blizz broke the game just to make extra $$ they knew people would transfer to horde for the better racials
Suggestion go try Final Fantasy 14 looks great so far. My wow sub runs out soon and could careless
Average alliance player queues for bgs less so there is already an inbalance here.
Some players already have all their Eots marks and so they have moved to AV as its better honor/time for farming (reducing the number of players further for specific bgs)
Alliance miss the full premade days of early phase 2 in which organised alliance groups could reliably queue together resulting in much better win percents. Was not really an option as horde due to queue times.
The number of issues with pvp (season 1 and season 2 arena items being purchased prior to arena season 1 even starting massive disparity between classic and tbc honor rates) soured alot of people from the early pvp which also hit the alliance hardest (I assume because they were barely interested before).
You have a wrong perception of me. I couldn’t care less about my racials. I am playing horde because my mates all decided to play horde. I was planning on playing alliance.
Arugal which has the majority of the OCE playbase, is showing a 60/40 split in favor of the Horde on Ironforge.pro. Since it uses WCL logs at its metric, PvE being something Alliance generally has a higher representation in, I imagine the split is even worse than that. Theres your answer.
