They normally focus on parsing and pvp servers have more and better players.
Convinced them to roll pve for sod on wild growth horde. That was a horrible mistake. The sole pve sever for sod hasn’t had a viable raiding population in almost a year. While the pvp one was very healthy. The few that decided to stick with sod, all of us had to re roll on crusader strike so we could actually play the game. It was a night and day difference. 20x the amount of LFG activity and pug groups.
So any player that wanted to play on a healthy pve horde server in na for sod wasn’t able to past phase 5.
Lesson learned. Always pick the most populated server even if it’s PvP and you hate PvP servers.
Warmode solves this and eliminates the issue of dead read/factions.
