That’s an interesting idea. Would you then also do the same for ranking?
EDIT:
It might actually push people to use Blizzard’s comm tooling over Discord for BGs 
That’s a good question. I didn’t really think much about ranking. Was thinking more along the lines of what would actually work to nuke queue times.
I dont think it would really need to change rankings though.
I do at a rough pass, but, I’d have to think it through a bit further…
Still, I like the idea.
faction transfers have been tried in the past to even up faction balance and have been proven to not work.
we literally have 15 years of experience that shows that they don’t balance factions.
this is accurate.
has anything been done to stop horde camping flight paths, boats, instance portals, or BRM?
has anything been done to enable alliance to not be overwhelmed in the outside world?
has the advantage of horde been taken away like the advantage alliance had in BGs been taken away?
no across the board.

nah. stop ruining vanilla.
Might also help break down some of the tribalism we have between factions. There’s a lot of hate there that has no reason to exist. We are all gamers just playing the game. Yes we kill each others characters because we are on opposite teams, that’s competition. But theres no need for being hostile to other players.
if only one faction didn’t spend an entire month making the other factions life a living craphole.
Which faction was that? Complaining Alliance on the forums? Because that’s a pretty big turn off, imo.
you mean like horde complaining about av for the past month?
oh but guess what? alliance wasn’t allowed to leave capital cities for a month when phase 2 hit. but nice try.
Yeah. It may be a step away from server-specific community though. I think the way ranking would change is that it would them become faction independent and server independent, since everyone would have equal access to BGs.
The uncertainty is how it would affect the ability to run premades. That’s an interesting problem to try to think through though.
Funny. I suppose I have the privilege of royalty. I was able to do anything I wanted to do.
must be you got one of the rare nice alliance servers then. most pvp servers are horde dominant and horde spent the phase 2 making alliance life hell.
Do some research
it’s quite easy. most pvp servers alliance had a living hell on.
Other than Stalagg, who was a few points worse, name one server than had greater faction disparity than Fairbanks, and was nearly as high pop?
What are you using for metrics?
For me, I don’t have historical data easily accessible (that I know of), but have been using the data from ironforge.pro (which pulls from warcraftlogs), and also from the consensus addon based: https://wowclassicpopulation.com/
My god the ignorance from both factions on this forum is incredible
Yes, Neutral town guards have had a “fix” And Alliance do it and are capable of doing it. The level on it depends on your server/location.
Yes, as Alliance got access to early bg’s and thus Horde players are denied world pvp.
Maybe you could ask some Alliance players who dont premade how they feel about this bg correction.
Anything that encourages Av to be played how it was in vanilla with around 10% premades instead of the 90% we have now is fine.
And i don’t care if queues go for 3 hours, i’ll live.
This statement adds nothing of aid to such ignorance.
herod is nearly as imbalanced. but the fact is, that maybe the horde on your server actually aren’t a scorched earth type.
yes, now look at PvP servers and you’ll notice they are slanted to the horde.
no. the guards on neutral towns were changed so you couldn’t safe spot.
nothing was done to prevent horde from overrunning alliance.
was world pvp taken away? no. another form of pvp was added. but you can still open world pvp. you can still camp flight paths. you can still camp dungeon and raid portals.
world pvp was not taken away. at all.
Sort of… 40:60 vs 32:68…
I’m not a whiner, and I anticipated PVP happening on a PVP server would be a more apt description, imo.
