To people who didnt think paid faction changes are a solution

It also isn’t necessarily true that you’ll have more helping you in WPVP just because you have more overall numbers on your faction.

My experiences on an imbalanced and progressively more horde-dominated server beg to differ.

@Frosto-faerlina

Do we assume that if Horde have alts and run 2 raids a week, then Alliance have equivalent numbers, and we judge faction balance based on raid log numbers?

We judge faction balance by the number of people playing any given faction actively on a server. Both factions participate in the same activities for the same professions and often even the same quests.

@Frosto-faerlina

Do some individuals have more sway over others with regards to being able to call for reinforcements? Does faction or faction balance influence that? How do you measure it?

We, the players, don’t “measure” it. We report what we experience, and when those experiences are overwhelmingly negative, it becomes a problem – with faction imbalance being the primary culprit. When Alliance in a 30-70 horde dominated server ask for reinforcements because a few horde are camping farming spots and pushing you out, you’re practically inviting snide ridicule in zone / world chat.
