Ok Zoomer.
Right. Well, whom to blame is irrelevant. You do make some good points, for sure. I nevertheless sympathize with players whom you describe as “willfully ignorant.” Of course not all players in this disaster knew this would happen. However, the situation is the situation and if nothing changes, the trend of general population decrease will continue. Consequently, I wish Classic WoW the best of luck.
What do you think should happen right now? What is the best course of action to remedy this reality (I don’t necessarily mean action by Blizzard). I imagine nothing but to cross our fingers that battlegrounds save the day? December 10th can’t come soon enough. Perhaps literally.

Exactly… FPS and teamdeath mach ruined true PVP server experience. even in PVP games there are KOS rules… this is not call of duty.
I’m a mohawk paladin
Well obviously not. They are weeding out the weak so they don’t need 100+ servers like retail had.
they released the honor system too early… bottom line.
Why do you keep killing me when Im questing in level 55 areas? Easy kill, easy honor points… to see you here talking this crap is hypocritical. You are like an intercity democrat.
Nobody claimed they could reproduce YOUR Vanilla experience. That experience was different for a million people. How could a game company copy a million different experiences? Besides, YOU have changed in 10+ years. They have no magic – how can they make YOU what you were then?
What they can do is copy the GAME, and they did. It’s the same game. It has vastly lopsided PVP on dozens of servers. It has lots of other problems too.
The servers are the same size they were. You are only seeing a tiny fraction of “all the enemy players”. Have you ever seen 20,000 players in one spot? No. Probably never more than 50. So the total size of the 2 factions means nothing. All that matters is how many players you group with from your faction. 10 beats 5. 50 beats 20. And so on.

Ya… but you wanted the vanilla experience so…
The problem is that there is no solution to this problem without punishing people who are merely playing the game they signed up for (Horde PvP players). The only solution to imbalanced servers is to convince more Alliance to PvP. But Alliance don’t want to PvP, not in the same numbers as Horde. There’s no way to overcome that unless you make significant changes to gameplay.
So, best thing to do? Turn all servers into Normal servers. People who want to PvP can flag, and people who want to get into BRM without getting ganked 50 times can turn PvP off.
Sort of like war mode?

Yup. Or like the PvE realms are now. PvP realms died on retail because they can’t even BRIBE Alliance to PvP in the same numbers as Horde players do.
Yeah but you wanted the vanilla experience.
My experience was that the ‘bribe’ actually flooded my realm with Alliance raids preying on Horde.
Dis don’t taste like vanilla…taste like Mint chocolate chip
Who likes mint?.. 
There was a lot of servers in vanilla. Can you really claim that just because your server didn’t feel this way that others didn’t too? Theres been people complaining about faction imbalance forever. Blizzard can’t stop people from playing the faction they want or just stop people from playing on the server because too many of their faction logged in or not enough of the opposite faction is logged in… now that would really make people quit. A que for server overload is one thing, but a que because of faction imbalance forces people to play on opposite faction… that is, if all the servers imbalance is as bad as people claim.
Nobody wants to be forced to play a faction they don’t want to play. If it bothers you that much go to a pve server.
“Said by an undead rogue” so clever, already felt that one coming.
There are always exceptions to the rule.
Yeah. I think I might have preferred the exception. I dunno. I’d still rather be outnumbered than to be the one outnumberingl
