With today’s honor nerf to EOTS flag caps, the meta must find a new way. And that way goes way back to Phase 2 during the AV ranking meta. Due to high queues, horde players were forced to world pvp for additional honor.
Now since TBC Classic is still in beta phase, and neutral city guards don’t attack when engaging in PvP (Cenarion Refuge, Area 52), endlessly ganking alliance in these cities between queues has become the meta.
reposting this here since all the spam is drowning out actual problems that still exist:
just played a game of EotS with the hotfix:
alliance got 48 bonus honor with 9 flag captures and 2000 points (win).
horde got 63 bonus honor with 3 flag captures and 962 points (lose).
blizzard deployed a hotfix that wasn’t properly tested and should be reverted.
I got a feeling mid to late phase one things will change. Horde will have full arena gear and have no need for bgs except to cure boredom and off spec gear. While waiting in ques they will gank and run rampant.
Got a feeling we will see a mixture of “ques still too long” from horde. While on alliance “I can’t move without being ganked”
I’m a carebear so I’m not worried. I get to still go Into the open world.
LOL, do you even have alliance on Herod? xD You all went to play Horde knowing that there will be more of you and there will be huge queues for the horde. Is it Blizzard’s fault?
