Testing Same-Faction Battlegrounds in Burning Crusade Classic

Gratz, you just killed the Alliance faction and are forcing every server into >80% Horde

Anyone who was gonna reroll is now released back to Horde and there’s no downside to playing the overpopulated faction.

We’re back to retail faction balance.

I really feel like 1 person at Blizzard made this call and ignored input from everyone else. This can not possibly be what they decided was best as a group.

What a joke.

Every week, I wake up, hoping to finally see my name erased from the Saturday roster, and disappointed to see my name still on there, furthermore not in the TSA group, and i’m like whelp, time to re-up consumes, and get wbuffed again.

Ill jump on the bandwagon.

Why dont you guys just reroll horde?

Slightly outgear? My priest partner will get one shotted by anything in arena as he, in futility, farms 1 piece of gear per 3 weeks while the majority of ally players are wearing 200-300 resil.

Interesting comment coming from the single best race/class racial combo for arenas.

It’s my day off, and I’m currently not interested in playing a video game. I’m sitting drinking coffee. Am I not allowed to do that?

I honestly don’t know why I had enough respect and confidence in Blizzard to believe they wouldn’t take the absolute worst path possible which will end up killing Alliance PvP. We were already barely hanging on with a single benefit in fast queues, and now even that is gone.

You get into games in a reasonable time, Alliance may end up with queues - but if you have to wait 5-10 minutes, then get into a BG, why even play Alliance at that point? Horde have the numbers. They have the stronger players, as most PvPers have been Horde for a decade. Why play Alliance when you can have all the advantages and now no disadvantages?

I guess if you think whining and crying and spamming the forums until Blizzard caters to their favourite faction is good, enjoy? I’m still not going to queue for PvP and this change will lead to players unsubscribing, which was apparently a problem when it was possibly Horde players leaving.

Godspeed young shaman.

You will be missed.

rerolling is a vanilla solution to a vanilla problem that one could reasonably foresee when choosing a faction, whereas this is a change that could not be reasonably foreseen by playing rolling alliance in the first place because it was instituted by the developers outside of the regular vanilla mechanics. nice try though.
