PVP: The illusion of giving something to the alliance

  • Horde are getting their low queue.

  • Horde has the best pvp player base thus best random bg pug.

  • Alliance lose the full pre-made option. So the few good pvp players cannot queue together anymore.
    *Alliance get an “incentive” to do bg with the “crate”. Which give nothing related to PVP.

Maybe if the crate was giving more BG mark and more honor it would compensate for the number of loss we have to go trough before wining one.

Maybe it would make the horrendous grind for pvp items less painfull.

No, instead we get 3 gold and a fish.

So right now, Horde have it all and Alliance got only the illusion they have something. I would actually say the alliance is in a worse spot right now.

this is exactly like what happened during the pandemic, where trillions of dollars got siphoned off to the big corporations, and the plebs got a couple $1000 checks to placate them :expressionless:

The reward box didn’t hit the mark sure, but it’s still better than nothing. Besides, at the very least they gave Alliance something for once and maybe this will mean they’ll give Alliance more the next time around because the box is clearly not cutting it. Also, box has a chance to drop a badge of justice I heard. So there’s that.

Please don’t give me more marks or honor, both of those are worthless. Same with badges of justice, I finished that grind over a month ago. I’d much rather have gold.

They should give extra marks or some kind of honor boost IMO.

Actually no, it’s not. It does absolutely nothing to incentivize alliance to even play alliance anymore. Horde now have it all, so time to use the boost and roll horde.

The only incentive would be bonus honor and BG marks. That’s it.

3g + fish makes up for never being able to use a summoning stone or being killed every time you try to go to Kara or economy suffering or unable to quest or unable to dungeon because your faction pop is bleeding subs.

At this point, it’s like a neglected child at a dinner table hoping tomorrow they’ll get more than a slice of bread while the favored kid gets to feast with the family.

Look at Harry Potter with the Dursleys, it’s like that.

maybe i misunderstood them but it sounded like they wanted to use the box in order to incentivize PvE minded players to also do BGs, but after seeing some of the sample rewards that have been posted on the forums i do not see how any of it is an incentive. and because you have to actually win the match, you can get unlucky and lose multiple matches in a row for various reasons (let alone, a PvE focused player probably won’t have much if any resilience) which means they’d actually lose out on any potential farm they could have been doing all for the draw of a box with 3g and some odds and ends inside it.

What do you mean? I’m on my 7th AB loss in a row as Alliance. Totally normal.

Bro, you are the one trash talking your own faction saying how much you suck.
You can queue as a group 1-5 same as us, but also get a pity crate

Take a look at yourself, this is honestly sad

Honestly at this point just give alliance free epic flying, dual spec, 100g per bg regardless of win or loss, idec, I just want to be able to Queue BG’s as horde

I’m pretty sure free crafting mats, money, badges and pots isn’t illusionary. I guarantee all this salt is coming from it requiring wins and not just from queueing up.

Aka they’re mad they can’t lossbot their way to infinite wealth.

I made 5 digits worth of cold hard cash being furloughed from St Patrick’s Day to Labor Day last year. Didn’t work one day. Got my ENTIRE summer back for the first time since I got out of school and got a fat refund this year off the back of it too.

I was pretty happy about it :man_shrugging:t2:

Horde get insane change that increases their honor gains and decreases their time in queue.

We got some fish :slight_smile:

Alliance pre-made are far easier. With instant queues they form and stay together.

Why are they further getting bonuses where a single faction getting more benefits.

We got a change that makes it so we can play the game like you. It didn’t effect you. But blizzard still gave you a box, because they knew you would be upset horde can play.
