Suggested fix to imbalance

Im a big fan of PVP, I play on a pvp server as alliance. However with the advent of the honor system, it has rendered the game nearly unplayable for alliance. Horde started camping lights hope, killed the gryphon master, and several rogues were instantly popping on anyone who landed. a large group of 20+ horde is in the area, to where as soon as someone retrieves their corpse, their killed instantly. You try to rez at the graveyard, and horde is camping the graveyard too. This is happening in several zones. This isn’t pvp, alliance literally CANT put up a fight were so ridiculously outnumbered. However im not one to complain about a problem without offering a solution. As part of the honor system cause hk’S TO convert to dk’s after killing the same player 10 times within 20 minutes. Additionally DK’s need to hold an actual consequence, such as a “war criminal” flag that causes all NPC’s regardless of faction to turn hostile, and a camping prevention system where if camping is detected in a zone a world boss level NPC spawns and kills the opposing faction. This would greatly mitigate the imbalance and make the game we love playable for everyone shelling money out to play it.

Yes it is, you are being killed by players, this is the ‘experience’ you signed up for.

This is what has happened since before honor even came out in vanilla. I’m all for fixing balance but not changing mechanics. I would happily transfer to alliance it it was both free to do so and didn’t reset my progress, so long as it was only given to the dominant faction so that my choice isn’t countered by a lot of alliance fleeing.

We all knew the terrain coming into this and it is up to US to maneuver according to that terrain. We can all make suggestions for the future of Retail and for WoW 2 but we can’t expect a bunch of untested changes to be inserted into Classic.
IF the OPFOR on your server has made the game unplayable, move/reroll to another server. Then when they complain about nobody left to kill, they can blame the jagof in the mirror for not having a sense of fair play

Seriously, no one has put in that much time into their toons at this point to make this solution unreasonable. It is far more reasonable than advocating for making massive game mechanic changes to a 15 year old game.

Lol take a look at this clown.

It’s incumbant on Blizzard to make a functional game. This is not a functional game. You could listen to smug morons like yourself and watch the server die or you could do something about it.

This is pvp. This is how it always was. If you played vanilla you would know.

The only upset is the servers are much larger - that’s all.

This is not how it was in classic, at least on Bleeding Hollow it wasn’t a 24 hour campfest where a raid of horde slowly farmed a trickle of corpsewalking Ally.

It’s idiotic and categorically toxic. It will kill the game. It needs to be fixed.

Claiming anything else is idiotic.

Go back to my comment where I said this happens because the servers are larger. That’s all there is to it.

Bleeding Hollow had 1/4 of the playerbase on your server I bet.

Either a game works or a game doesn’t work.

This game doesn’t work. People will quit. Saying anything else is just rejecting reality.

No one is going to play this garbage

PvP players will quit. PvE players (on those servers) will have no issues. That’s not Blizzards problem.

You can’t PVE if every single run in BRM takes an extra 45 mins to an hour of getting steamrolled and corpse walking.

Wanna ride the boat? Tough break, raid of 60s.

This isn’t complaining that we will never ever, under any circumstances get a single solitary world boss. We wont. That’s not the issue.

IT"S THAT THE GAME IS UNPLAYABLE FOR EVERYONE

Unplayable on imbalanced servers, you mean. Balanced servers (Incendius, Grob) are doing just fine atm. Stalagg, Herod, and others, however, have way too many Horde players. Based on what I’ve seen, Deviate Delight has the opposite problem.

Yes the servers that aren’t broken are not broken. I think the game is great and want to keep playing it, that’s why I’m so upset.

You are level 12 OP. I highly doubt you have to worry about pvp.
