Which was shut down by Blizzard did a better job handling faction balance than this multi billion dollar company.

Itâs not Blizzardâs job to balance factions. Donât like unfair PvP? Roll on a PvE server.

It should be their job to control ratios though since they have the numbers.

That is a massive assertation.
Why âshouldâ it be their job to balance factions?
Why should they impose restrictions or penalties on people?

Quality and not just for the Horde, it shouldnât get to the point where one faction becomes unplayable.
That is a failure on the playerbase and on Blizzard for not implementing systems to control the ratio.

I think theyâll do some kind of faction specific queue or something else, they are likely Just weighing the options right now. Announcing early release of BGs bought them some time to think about it more carefully.

So what youâre saying is, in order for you to enjoy Classic WoW, they need to make changes to it so that it can be a more enjoyable experience for you? 
There has never been a system to control faction balance.
Why did you think there would be one in classic?
I would like to know the ratioâs of level 60âs on each server but with out that information its just conjecture.
Also you havnt answered why it should be their burden to control faction balance.
If they tried any mesure there would be people up in arms about not being able to play with friends or any other reason they want to play on a sepcific server and faction.
This is classic, warts and all.
Yes server pops are massive which is annoying, but also gives me hope for longevity.

Itâs not on Blizz to balance factions but they let alliance run away.
they have already changed a ton of things from how they were in vanilla. just as 1 example: server sizes are massive compared to vanilla and yet things like black lotus are just as rare as they used to be but 100x more ppl farming for them.

Why shouldnât there be one?
My response was quality and not just for the Horde.
Another reason would be that it is their game. The original game is about a faction war, when one faction canât play due to huge imbalances should be a problem. I would want to fix that and implement systems to control ratios.
Blizzard canât control player choice but they can control ratios, not enough players have the mindset of wanting to play Alliance or to help balance servers.
If players are put into a faction specific queue, they might rethink their decision on the faction they should play. If players could faction change to Alliance with their time invested character to avoid the queue, most players would do that.
The average player does not want to sit in a queue, so they would either roll Alliance or quit. Both outcomes helping with imbalances.
I left my friends who wanted to play Horde to join Alliance, I wish more players would do this. Everyone jumps on the bandwagon though and that is the problem.
If players get mad at systems to help with faction balance then those in power must think what is better over the long term health of the server in a faction war.

Or roll as the dominant faction on a PvP server.

Even the dominant faction will run into groups that outnumber them from time to time.
WPvP isnât fair. It never was, and it was never intended to be fair.

I think it should be their job to balance factions on pvp servers. Those types of servers need to be balanced for them to stay a viable place for people of each faction to play.

No. They open it up for players to play. Players made it unbalanced with their choices. If you want a âfairâ wPvP experience, come to a Normal realm and flag yourself, or wait for BGs.
