We Need Faction Based Queues NOW

Unless you’re ready to quit being a little B*tch and give your name up finally, in which case, I’ll come join you.

Well there it is. You’re trying to fix something Blizzard messed up on at inception.

Unless they halve Herods population, its always going to be a s***show.

When you say “literally unplayable” that is an exaggeration. You can still play, but not the way you would like. That’s called being dramatic.

When you create an alt on another server, you don’t have to delete your other characters as a heads up.

Remember my foot analogy? Just think its raining crap outside (cause you are on Herod) so instead of lacing up your nice J’s to get ruined, go work on another pair of shoes until the weather is better.

Then stop whining if you’re unwilling to accept a solution

/triggered :joy::joy::joy:

That’s what this whole thread is about. Are you confused?

Again, Ive made the offer. Come and join me. Prove that I’m being dramatic. Free mount, free bags, carries.

Like I said, Blizzard opens up xfers and this conversation can end. Simple as that.

Instead, they doubled down and made things worse by locking the Alliance to that sh*tshow of a server and gave the Horde no reason to transfer while offering them free transfers.

Two wrongs don’t make a right.

Nah mate, just making sure you know what you are.

Or they could free transfer.

Guess you have plenty of time to QQ on the forums since you’re corpse camped all day :man_shrugging:t2::joy:

Sigh, no I’m not. I’m simply stating that this is a dumb idea and none of us have any real power/authority when it comes to implementing these things.

Again, I’m not a masochist either. I typically try to correct my mistakes, or poor situations, rather then complain and QQ about them.

That wouldn’t fix the imbalance issue at all. Are you trying to get more balanced servers, or just play the way you want to?

You may just have to wait til paid transfers pal. But those aren’t implemented to fix server balance either, they’re just to get QQers to pay $$.

Imagine your car runs low on oil because the Jiffy Lube your mom took it to didn’t do their job correctly.

So you roll back up, and instead of offering a legitimate solution like simply filling it up they permanently seal your fill cap, and tell you to deal with it or buy another car.

lol.

Nah, I’m at work. This is my entertainment for the day because I really shouldn’t make network changes going into a holiday weekend. Reddit has proven disappointing so WoW Forums it is.

Well I certainly wouldn’t spend my days shouting at the rain…if you wanna spend your days getting camped on an unplayable server then by all means go for it bud but at a certain point you need to accept some of the responsibility for continuing to deal with it

Sigh, no I’m not. I’m simply stating that this is a dumb idea and none of us have any real power/authority when it comes to implementing these things.

So, stop acting like making conversation about potential changes that may improve server balance in a thread about potential changes that may improve server balance is somehow a silly prospect.

Again, I’m not a masochist either. I typically try to correct my mistakes, or poor situations, rather then complain and QQ about them.

Nobody is crying or really even complaining, I’m offering constructive thoughts about how to potentially go about saving a server from dying due to an overwhelming faction imbalance. Literally what this thread is about.

Right, this is a response to the general “like it or leave it” sentiment you two share.

If Blizzard means to do nothing to correct server balance, I would prefer to leave versus abandon the time I’ve placed into this character.

Make no mistake, that doesn’t mean this is the solution I prefer. Clearly, as I’ve been advocating alternative solutions for hours here.

It boils down to this:

Blizzard needs to take action by either:
Taking steps to improve server balance.
Admit they royally messed up and let people stuck on these servers play elsewhere.

This is not some radical notion.

Like I said, I’m just at work, and having a conversation about server balancing in a thread about server balancing.

Nobody is mad here (except maybe you guys, I’m not sure). There is no QQ. Im simply trying to rationally explain why these kinds of systems may benefit servers with an extreme faction disparity.

Nothing more. Nothing less.

Okay, so stop getting so upset when people tell you this is a stupid idea. Hard concept, eh?

Maybe how you’re taking it, but the OP is asking for Faction Queues to make servers balanced. You on the other hand,

Want it so you can play the game you want to. You don’t care about balance, you just don’t want to be a loser anymore.

DINGDINGDINGDING

Holy crap you figured it out. Go look at the top 5 Retail servers and look how balanced they are. You’ll quickly come to the conclusion that Blizzard will do practically nothing to correct this issue of yours. Come back to it when the weathers better on Herod.

Annnnnnd again,

But by all means, continue to make demands from Blizzard and watch as they fall on deaf ears. They don’t care. Nor should they.

So far there has been far more support for these systems than people claiming them to be stupid. Perhaps you should reread.

This is literally in contradiction to what I just said. I prefer finding other solutions, but if no action is to be taken, then yes, I prefer not abandoning a character on a dying server. As would most people who value their time.

DINGDINGDINGDING

Again, you seem confused. This is a conversation about potential faction balancing solutions, in a thread about possible faction balancing solutions.

Why are you failing to grasp this?

But by all means, continue to make demands from Blizzard and watch as they fall on deaf ears. They don’t care. Nor should they.

No demands have been made. This is an opinion about possible faction balancing solutions in a thread, about possible faction balancing solutions.

Whooo this is a tough concept for you.

Look, I’ve always been a horde guy since my first toon back in the day when I didn’t have a clue about pvp balance or faction balance, I tried to roll alliance one time and made it to level 12 and it just wasn’t for me. That being said I wish more would roll alliance simply for q times but to my knowledge blizzard has no intentions of forcing people to go one way or the other. Either way you’re gonna love your q times in a couple weeks and all of us horde will be jealous…but I can tell you that the day I try to log in and I’m met with an hour long q due to my faction I will simply exit wow and unsub. Reading today about 3 hour q times, that’s brutal…I don’t even have 3 hours to play in the evening let alone wait that long just to log in.

And I genuinely hope the release of BGs improves the situation on servers like Herod . Because contrary to what you all seem to think despite me repeating myself over…and over…and over…and over and over and over…and over…and over…and over trying to drive this point home.

I prefer staying on Herod and hope that there is something that fundamentally changes or can be implemented that makes it playable again as Alliance.

Because, onceeeeeeeee again… this is a conversation about possible class balancing solutions, in a thread, about possible class balancing solutions.

lmao.

Well like I said, I’ve I’m ever forced into a faction q I will just unsub and if I had to die 15 times on the way to brd I would reroll or unsub

Have you ever heard of an Echo chamber? Just because you get a few people posting about this on multiple toons doesn’t mean it has the majority of support.

My solution is that there isn’t one! Not unless you want to artifically kill off the other halves play time.

I understand you can’t play. You can fix this yourself.
I can play. Why are you trying to take that away from me? So you can be selfish.
You want to limit my mains play time so you can play your main.
I didn’t make a mistake and pick a faction that I couldn’t handle on a server I shouldn’t have rolled on. Seems to me like you did though.

It seems to be 10x more difficult for you to understand that THIS IS A BAD IDEA AND NOT A SOLUTION.
