This change will do nothing to fix the problems being had by everyone, this game went from amazingly fun to absolutely unplayable in one stupid choice by blizzard to do absolutely nothing about something they KNEW was going to be a problem. They make the servers contain what 5 times the number of people they did in vanilla and don’t do anything to stop the massive imbalance of factions across all servers or to dissuade low level ganking by 60s? once My alt hit level 30 I absolutely cannot play it, all of my friends who were leveling when this came out have unsubbed from wow and no longer play at all as retail is garbage as well. I set a stop watch every time I enter a contested area on my alt the LONGEST I have gone without being camped by a 60 is 3 minutes 8 seconds… if this isnt addressed I will be unsubbing as well, they have known this is a problem since vanilla and they got away with it because the population was different, now it is absolutely unnacceptable. Fix it or lose probably millions, its not rocket science… and it is utterly ridiculous the number of videos on youtube of people taking 25 minutes to an hour just to corpsewalk into an instance.
It didn’t resolve itself in Vanilla so I doubt it will resolve itself in Classic.
Can you tell me more about this 50g an hour lmao
I need gold 
I disagree.
People will take it in turns to do the BG signup.
premade X will have 1/40 people staying in Org to queue the 40 people who are out camping a flight path etc.
True it is FAR more efficient to win BG’s than it is to farm HK’s, but you forgot one thing…
Horde will not be getting fast BG Q’s, they will be stuck waiting for an hour just for a single BG to pop. OHHH SNAP!
Horde Racial Traits = more BG wins. Even with longer queues, Horde will get more honor because they will win a higher % of matches. Why do you think most players on pvp servers pick Horde? OP racials.
If you kill me in classic because of a racial I deserve the GY timeout…full health pot on the other hand. Thats trash.
Yeah I think overall this will fix it.
Before Phase 2 I very rarely experiences PvP on the most populated PvP server. It was nothing like this because there was no incentive. BGs will push that incentive back to its original state.
Have you ever thought of the aesthetics and faction specific classes, and the folks that have played WC3 RoC and TFT? Racial passives are the deciding factor for min-maxers and the “professional streamers.” There are plenty of folks who don’t choose solely for racials. Besides Stoneform is killer, but Dwarves weren’t shaman until Cata and from what I understood, Blizz gutted the class of its former pre-Cata glory.
I chose horde because of the shaman, I also prefer the wolf mount, second favorite faction mount would be ram, and I have a dwarf paladin on Westfall; but that paladin is just not as interesting to play consistently as the shaman for my personal play style.
Simple, you’ve got a belief that you do not know Is true.
You really think the wPvP goes away? All those people still leveling will be running into wandering packs of ganking. The same problem, now with BGs too.
I’ve seen some refutations to this claim. Some claim that it wouldn’t fix horde continuing to participate in Wpvp farming due to an assumption that their queue times will be lengthy enough to warrant going into the open world.
On top of that, some people actually enjoy the gank style play. It won’t go away.
Aaaaand. Once they’re in that safe space instanced pve content faction balance on a pvp has no effect on them whatsoever. In fact they’ve removed themselves from thar balance.
They have servers where other players can not hinder you from instanced pve. They are called pve servers.
So did players. What did players do to help balance servers? Oh that’s right they dog piled servers to avoid streamers, Brazilians, and “dead” servers. As you said servers we all KNEW were larger than Vanilla.
Yet it’s all blizz’s fault for not making players play a faction/server they don’t want to play? What’s next blizz should force class and race choice for more “balance”?
War is not balanced. Warcraft. The word doesn’t even invoke any thoughts of balance or fairness. Lol.

This… so much this!
get over yourself fan boy it’s broken and they know it
Zf gy farming by a mage.
What’s broken? You can’t get into an instanced pve dungeon on a pvp server? News flashed it doesn’t need fixing. You can avoid pvp on pve servers. You can even flag up at will if you’d like to pvp.
There’s an option for you. Take it. This crybaby bs is how we got warmode in retail. Its your choice. Can’t handle old school pvp servers? Roll pve. It caters to that exact playstyle. You can waltz right into BRM on PvE servers.
You’re not getting our servers. I have 3 accounts and an army of alt avatars. I’ll light these forums up with so much pro pvp server propaganda I’ll have carebears bandwagoning because they think everyone is doing it.
Draws line in the sand
Nope. Not happening. Organize. Reroll. Quit. Accept. I don’t care. You’re not getting our pvp servers.
At the rate some of your PvP Servers are going, you won’t keep them, you’ll just get an empty IF and nothing but PvE to do, minus AQ20/40 because you can’t open the gates.
Crying did not get warmode. Blizzard trying to get alliance to pvp gave you warmode. All the alliance population are on pve servers and a very small portion of pvp servers. Warmode was to try to get them to pvp because horde complained that no one wanted to pvp.
Bg’s arent going to save it. Bg’s are in retail and we see the state of pvp in retail.
Which we will make our own choice when we get to that bridge. Burn it? Cross it? Travel downstream a bit? Maybe setup camp?
