War Mode on or off?

What does it do and is it worth it?

It’s pretty clear that Alliance group up and Horde do not… For the most part anyways and from my experience, Horde barely ever group up.

Alliance, on my server, may not have a lot of good players (From the ones I have run into,) however they mass in numbers and pretty much slaughter everyone. Once in awhile, Horde will accidentally group up by coincidence and over take them, but that is such a rare occasion.

Two days ago, I was trying to do the PvP WQ’s and died to 4 alliance. I was then spawn camped for 1 hour and 24 minutes. There was no horde group, just random Horde passing by that would see me fighting and run off or they would try to get the quest done, but only die to the Alliance group after they killed me.

I logged out and came back a few hours later to only rez and find that there were 4 groups of 3 alliance sticking together. I tried getting the quest done, but again… I was killed and spawn camped for 37 minutes before I logged out and decided to do real life stuff.

After some time doing RL, I just didn’t see the point in playing for a couple days. Having War Mode on and getting spawn camped over and over just isn’t fun. Maybe it would if Horde ever grouped up like Alliance did.

I ended up not doing the WQ’s and missed getting the WQ end reward due to not coming back.

So, is War Mode really worth it? From the tooltip in-game it says it increases quest rewards and experience… From that statement alone, it’s not worth it to me.

I didn’t get the WQ’s done at all because of it on and I took two days off due to frustration.

I laugh at myself for removing it because I am a PvP’er. Always have been, but since coming back after a couple years I have found that the game is forcing me to PvE in order to gear up.

I guess to me, world pvp is much different then arena’s. The playing field is a little better then 3 vs 1 or 20 vs 1.

Anyway, if anyone wants to write about why they have it on or off… please do tell.

Cheers,

I turn it on for as long as it takes me to kill 25 Horde.

Problem and potential solution.

If you get 30% more AP, gold, and War Resources, plus free ilvl 400 weapons for no reason, then yeah it’s worth it.

If you get 10% more, no weapon, and mobbed by raid groups at every WQ because Blizzard can’t control their sharding system, then no, it’s not worth it.

There is no legitimate PvP in warmode. There is only ganking.

This is what I was trying to distinguish. It seems it’s not worth it.

The last PvP WQ’s I did it took over an hour due to getting ganked by mass numbers of Allliance and what I got for my work was a 1-handed 375 sword as a Fury Warrior.

Yeah, I’m sure some human paladin will come in here soon and try to tell you that it’s all fair, because alliance was outnumbered at the start of the expansion.

Do me a favor, and laugh at them for me.

Reason why us Horde don’t group up, because we’re more like Raid Bosses alone. We give the Mechanics to the Alliance to figure out, which is why they need parties or raid groups to take us down. As well as they need ready checks, and DBM Timers, etc…

Well, just by judging this… the quest doesn’t solve anything about warmode, it’s just a freebie and when they finish the quest they turn warmode off until the next week… so, they should recieve the quest reward at the end of the week if you killed the 25 hordes AND you had WM ON for at least 4 days (doesn’t matter if you were online or not).

Or just not have the quest at all, because it’s stupid to get a heroic weapon for camping a flight path for 20 mins.

If all horde turns off warmode the alli zzant get the free 415 gear and its not 400 its 415 I have allways been on pvp server done arenas and rbgs and i use to have fun with 10 ro 20 alli trying kill me when i had had max out my gear score but tonight .I turn war mode off I refuse to give the alli free full 415 armor set and they getting 30% increse in conquest and honor they will have full set of item level 415 mythic 10 and mythic raid gear full armor set where us horde get one peice in chest a week out of pvp conquest chest or one peice week out the mythic so it will take horde 3 months or longer to get to that level the alli are really exploiting the game and what they are doing is againist blizzard harrasment and greifing other player rules rember back in bc people sitting on big mounts bloking flight path guy and mail box blizzard whould bann players for that but blizzard not doing nothing about these 4 and 5 40 man alli raids camping horde flight paths and assault areas and all world quest . Well what do you exspect Ion the game delvoper plays for alli so he giving alli all this free 415 gear and 30% conquest and honor so he can gear his own alli toon which he has caused a problem and his fellow alli are exploiting it and they are harassing horde players and greifing so why not turn off war mode make the alli work hard like horde to gear there char they have do mythic TOV Raid and Areana and RBGS or Mythic 10 keystone dung to get the 415 gear lol whats real funny is they giving horde item 360 for the assailt to 370 and we cant even get that cause even after the alli come and do the world quest or assault they just sit and camp so horde cant so i say spread the word all horde turn off war mode and not turn it back on till blizzard takes the alli 30% bonus and lower the gear drop for them to 360 and then for us horde to turn back on blizzard got give us 30% bonus and 415 gear drop for 2 weeks or horde leaves war mode off .And not turn it on if they just take the 30% bonus and lower ali gear drop to 360 cause they gave alli a head start so I say fair is fair and even it out give us 2 weeks 30% bonus and 415 gear drop I know my war mode going stay off till then cause I agree with all the other horde I will not accept anything less for me to tun it back on less headache and greifing matter of fact we should get a month of the extra for comp of what blizzard has put us though

At the moment alliance are being handed ilvl400 HEROIC welfare gear for simply participating. There is essentially zero incentive for a horde player to turn warmode on.

If you turn it on Alliance will get quest that reward 400 ilvl gear

If you turn it off you’ll get 385 ilvl gear next week

Turn it off.

It turned into garbage system because Blizzard pander to the loser faction, but it is what it is.
