Players were all going Horde in TBC and Wrath because the racials were “better” Nothing has changed, people are still doing the same things now days, they just follow the trends.
Blizzard buffed alliance racials in WoD I hear, and as a result everyone transfered to Alliance for that expansion, then then flopped it back the other way… I don’t see where this is any different from TBC where we just rolled new characters.
We all know horde racials are superior for vanilla BG’s, and most PVP players gravitate toward Horde naturally any how.
Knowing this in advance clearly points out that no matter what they do, it’s only going to be a really long Q for CRBG as Horde after the dust settles because the Alliance players will cry about never winning while the Horde will cry about never getting a game to pop.
Clearly CRBG’s do not solve the problem; in some ways they will actually make things much worse over time because everyone serious about PVP will be playing Horde.
How do we fix that? By encouraging local balance on the individual server.
Have a look at the BG forum, its a mess with all the same complaints that people had about original Vanilla in this same forum…
I am telling you from the bottom of my heart that CRBG will fix nothing, it’s not going to solve the problem… Have a look below.
This horde player is complaining about his Q times being too long… 55 min and he’s in modern wow where they have CRBG…
That player is alliance and he’s tired of getting stomped by what he thinks are horde pre-mades…
This guy is complaining about Twink BG players and how it’s unfair…
This guy is complaining about Faction balance being horrible.
