So you chose Horde

You went Horde for the looks, to play with friends or for the racials but did you think about what content you enjoy doing in the game before you and your friends decided on a faction?

If you love Horde and only care about the world and pve content I would say Horde is a great choice, plenty of players to meet and play with to raid and do dungeons.

But…

If you’re a PvP oriented player and still chose Horde for bgs…

What were you thinking? What did you expect to happen?

Are you new to the game?

Did you not play Classic?

If you had any knowledge of the game, if you were aware of how queues for Horde historically have been, if you played Classic and watched queue times steadily get longer as the patches came along.

Who in their right state of mind thinks playing Horde as Blood Elves are introduced is a good decision?

Logical players should be convincing friends to play Alliance for faster queues times, if friends aren’t convinced. What do you care about more, fast queues or waiting for queues to pop 1 hour later with your friends?

Granted there is a plus side to queues.

You can do your homework while waiting, you can cook meals, you can do your chores or go grocery shopping or whatever errands you normally do.

In game you can earn rep while waiting or gather mats.

You can search for the occasional Alliance player to potentially gank.

Anyway, all I’m saying is. If you’re of the mind to change the game to accommodate you because your self inflicted wound is irritating you.

Should of gone Alliance.

Stop making these threads, more alliance players make this thread than HORDE PLAYERS DO, is there noone on your server who will RP with you?

Stop. Get some help.

Why is it that alliance players always have a perfectly logical and reasonable explanation for horde queues but horde is always like,

“nO zUg, QuEuES TOo LOnG”

They made their choice when making a horde character and thus forfeit the right to complain about high queues.

Yes, I’m sure the majority of players having hour long queue times will work out great for the game in the long run.

I play horde to avoid people with mindsets like this

No, you play horde for baby mode pvp and to not have to worry about open world content being inaccessible to you due to griefing.

Don’t be dishonest sir.

“We” thought Blizzard might eventually do their jobs and attempt to fix the issue to make the game better, rather than leave it worse because it might cost money. Say, for example, free horde to alliance transfers on any server with a given ratio, left open until the ratio reverses. Or significant limitation on character creation on servers with a given ratio. Or any other number of possible improvements.

I actually don’t care since I don’t PvP, but it’s funny to think that it’s the players fault when Blizzard has zero mechanisms in place to incentivise picking the lower-represented population besides “long queue times in PvP”.

I would happily switch to Alliance on my server since the balance isn’t disasterously low, but I won’t… because I can’t. So oh well, I guess I stay part of the problem :stuck_out_tongue:
