Sounds like you need to quit shouting at the rain and do something about it…maybe transfer it reroll in a different server?
Then reroll on a different server or unsub /shrug
Priority queues and Faction based queues are literally the same thing. This is all we’ve been asking for.
Nobody, literally nobody with half a brain is asking for a 1:1 queue.
We’re asking for servers that are experiencing significant queues, where there is an extremely underprepresented faction, for that faction to get moved to the front.
Herod is not a lost cause as a server. Fairness, on Herod, with many servers, will never be achieved, and that’s okay! I prefer it this way. But there’s a difference between unbalanced but playable, and unbalanced to the point where you cannot do anything.
Again, apply this logic everywhere and watch what happens.
Your stupidity is astounding.

No. People are asking for Faction Based Queues. A priority queue would mean the server would have to be at capacity until any sort of filter kicks in.
This only would be applicable to Herod, if a priority queue was in game. Considering most other servers don’t have a queue except for at a small window at a time.
So why would Blizzard, release a system that only affect 12% of their servers? Haven’t they announced multiple times that a few realms would be super realms if people didn’t leave? Sounds like a lot of stubborn people, not heeding a warning they were given.
Okay. But you still seem to be confusing the part when I said that a 60:40 still means Horde has 150% of your players. You’re running into BRM with 80 players, you still have to kill 120. Not likely going to happen. Considering they would also be prepared and set up for a raid, whereas the raid has to group up and travel to the scene, its going to repeat itself like this over and over.
Watch it now.
Whatever you need to think to justify the whining there snowflake. There are options available so you can enjoy the game again that don’t involve imposing unnecessary q times on others however you choose to not accept them…I guess have fun corpse running
The logical conclusion to doing this to Alliance is that there are eventually none left and there is no PvP ever again. The more Alliance that reroll or unsub the longer the Horde queues for BGs and the less PvP in general and the less likely the game survives. The only intelligent argument is for whoever has a drastically higher population to reroll to other side. Just be serious and honest about this discussion.

I don’t disagree with your point at all however horde aren’t going to start rerolling alliance when they have the advantage and it’s foolish to think they ever would

There’s definitely more servers that could benefit, perhaps not nearly as much as my example. The difference would be those servers are closer to a true balance to begin with and the queue wouldn’t have as big an impact. If you want to split hairs with the difference, fine, implement either. I don’t care.

Again, Saturation is a thing.
Less Horde, more Alliance means that an already spread thin Alliance can put up a fight in at least a zone or two without automatically being outnumbered.
If there are 800 Horde online and 200 choose to hunt Alliance in BRM, that means there’s only 600 left scattered throughout the world elsewhere. This presents opportunities for Alliance players who don’t wish to be endlessly farmed in BRM (for example) to go do “other things” with less a chance of being camped by a full 40 man raid group out farming, for example.
So why would Blizzard, release a system that only affect 12% of their servers? Haven’t they announced multiple times that a few realms would be super realms if people didn’t leave? Sounds like a lot of stubborn people, not heeding a warning they were given.
Because 12% of their servers is still tens of thousands of players.
And yes, they announced that queues would be a thing. and queues are FINE. It’s queuing to get into a server where the imbalance is so bad that you can’t do anything after waiting 3 hours to get in. That’s the issue. They never said “look, Herod is straight screwed with Horde, you better reroll” In fact they do much to hide census data and make it difficult for a new player to know what the ratios are looking like ahead of time.
Watch it now.
Talking to your troll counterpart.
Well again, its only a few overpopulated realms that have been mentioned that they would be overpopulated like no ones business. And since they’re PvP servers, its easy to guess which side its more favorable to.
IMO, its Blizzards fault because they decided to only release 8 realms originally, instead of 30 like they should have. That’s why we have these super realms in the first place.
DING DING DING!!!
Holy crap, are things starting to click?
Yes, no Horde is going to reroll, so trapping the Alliance on Herod by turning of faction transfers for the ALLIANCE ONLY (WHICH THEYVE DONE) is so incredibly stupid!
Faction based queues or at least biased queues would at least improve gameplay and have a meaningful impact.
Overpopulated is fine. Overpopulated where 90% of it’s population is one faction is not.
We’ll agree, Blizzard failed massively on launch and initial balancing.
There are, however still ways to improve these servers. What we’re discussing here is one of those ways.
You think people are quiting now, just wait until people can’t log in because of a faction imbalance, guilds can’t get groups together, friends can’t play together, unable to log in at all due to the forced balance. Yeah… this would really solve everything…
Exactly this, all this does is swap one problem for another
You realize what you’re describing is already happening defacto on Herod. The difference is, the unbaised system is holding back the few hundred Alliance waiting to get on in an endless sea of Horde players already in queue. Meanwhile, the Alliance that ARE online don’t usually have the numbers online to even make parties efficiently, let alone raids. PVP is pretty much a no go, farming, impossible. The groups that manage to form have to spend 30-50 minutes slogging through the 2-3 raid groups worth of Horde players waiting to camp them from Flightpath to instance portal.
Get it yet?
So the answer is allowing the remaining alliance to transfer off further exasperating the problem, awesome idea
One solution means the server might have a future.
The other means the server will eventually completely die.
Answer seems pretty clear to me.
Holy crap, when you reply I can actually hear the mouth breathing.
Where on earth did you get that idea!?
Oh wait, it’s what you’ve been suggesting from the start.
No, PAY ATTENTION…
The solution, the one we’ve been talking about this WHOLE TIME… is to bias the queues so the underrepresented faction can actually log on, and DESPITE still being completely outnumbered, at least this will make forming groups for PVP/PVE as viable as it can be.
You seem to be under the impression that I care in the least about your struggles as alliance on Herod, if you didn’t see the obvious problems of being the historically under represented faction on a mega pvp server than that’s on you. No one forced you to roll alliance on Herod, my friends and I specifically avoided that server because we knew it would be aids and blizzard sent out countless messages encouraging people to consider a less populated server from day one so deal with it.
Considering you’ve spent hours responding… I mean… Either you’re just desperate for attention, or just scared you’ll have to compete on a less biased play field? Take your pick.
Actually, more people choose Alliance on pretty much every private vanilla server ever. Soooo Wrong.
And again, It’s not the population of the server that’s the issue. It’s the BALANCE…OF…THAT…POPULATION…
I don’t care about the queues. I care about what happens after those queues. Get it through your thick skull. Let it absorb and marinate in that empty space for a bit. Maybe it’ll soak in.
Holy Jesus TttyFck Christ it’s like talking to a literal potato.
Balance and population have absolutely nothing to do with eachother.
Nothing!
Zero things!
How else can I put this so maybe you’ll understand?
