We Need Faction Based Queues NOW

[Contention-benediction]

I asked you questions to better understand your proposal. But you shrugged me off, didn’t answer my questions and insulted me. Not exactly the best approach in trying to recruit individuals to your side.

so if the Balance is 70/30 on a particular server, the OP wants blizz to wipe out more than half the the 70% from playing to balance the server.
Give that some thought, once you do, this thread will die fairly quickly.

[Slaughterize-azgalor]

What about servers that don’t currently have queues?

Would one be implemented artificially to balance?

What if there isn’t enough of the opposite faction to fill out a large percentage of the dominate faction at any given time? Then dominant faction players simply can’t log in unless more of their faction logs?

How would that impact raid nights? Would some guilds have to adjust raid times to accommodate?

I’m in a 15-20% minority on my queue-less server, so this wouldn’t impact me at all. I’m just curious about these points and how people would accept it.

They would have a really hard time playing the game until they either re-roll or transfer off the server (as they are so fond of telling Alliance to do). However this would fix the imbalance in a very elegant way while bringing faction populations to an eventual even equilibrium.

Then like i said earlier your being disengenious if you think people arent petty enough to do that.

It’s not just petty, its completely irrational. You can generally count on people doing what is in their own self interest. It is simply not in their self interest to do that.

Either way, having anybody sit in a que would make more people quit. And you’d have no one to Gank. Essentially killing Gankfest Servers, which I’m all for, but I don’t think a lot of other players agree with me, on that

You want an artificial queue for every server then?

Does it make sense to put a queue on a server that’s only at 10% capacity because there’s more Horde logged on at the time then Alliance?

What happens when a guild or two quits because they’re done w/ content or burnt out? Queue pops up again?

Your idea is to literally stop players from playing the game for a variety of reasons, but you claim that its really only because of one.

No, just for PVP realms with a large faction imbalance. Right now one faction already cannot play the game, you just have zero sympathy because it’s not your faction.

I’m not sure if these two statements are compatible.

Many people also state Horde is dominant in general, therefore would they always have a queue?

On Heartseeker we have a super majority of Alliance, would they all have to transfer back to Skeram and Stalagg if they didn’t want to queue? Supposedly those servers were already imba, so if every Alliance of HS transfers back, would it be enough to balance the server?

If the HS Ally didn’t transfer back, do they have to hope massive amounts of Horde from other servers did transfer to possibly reduce their queue?

At that point, where would HS Horde go?

[Blake-stalagg]

Right now one faction already cannot play the game, you just have zero sympathy because it’s not your faction.

But realms like Heartseeker are very imbalanced, and underpopulated. Why would that server be okay having a huge imbalance? Just because instead of being farmed by 100 players its only 10?

[Slaughterize-azgalor]

I’m not sure if these two statements are compatible.

Again, right now we already have one side that cannot enjoy the game at all. At least this way both sides would have an enjoyable experience when they can log in. And this would incentivize them to do the right thing and transfer to a server that needs more of their faction. If Horde still end up with queues, it will encourage them to do the right thing and re-roll Alliance to help balance the factions.

[Olindin-nesingwary]

What happens to the other “payers” that cant play??

You just take their money and say to bad wait in line???

Glad you are not in charge.

[Slaughterize-azgalor]

It seems like you are willfully misconstruing the issues. Hopefully we get a ton of Horde to transfer to Heartseeker, which would make it both highly populated and balanced.

[Blake-stalagg]

It seems like you are willfully misconstruing the issues.

Well here’s where you’re confused.

Wouldn’t the Alliance on Heartseeker transfer since they have a queue? Stalagg isn’t full either.

Oh, that’s right you’re just trying to make it easier for you and other Alliance players.

[Slaughterize-azgalor]

Glad you are not in charge.

So you’re okay with the Alliance being in literally this exact situation, because it’s not your faction?

[Flocket-mankrik]

No, just for PVP realms with a large faction imbalance

It’s not about the imbalance issue, though. 'Cause that’s not what you’re actually complaining about.

Right now one faction already cannot play the game

You mean, you can’t opt out of the PvP ruleset for 2 seconds, to peacefully walk to BRD. Sorry, Gankfest Servers doesn’t have an opt out and never has. If you could peacefully walk to BRD, you wouldn’t be here complaining about “imbalance”.

you just have zero sympathy because it’s not your faction.

Nah, I just have zero sympathy for anyone who rolls on a Gankfest Server and complains about being unable to turn off the PvP ruleset.

This literally screams like you want to be on a PvE Server. So, can we stop pretending like imbalance is the problem because it’s not.

[Eliphas-kurinnaxx]

and what happens when the server is at a low point of the day, say 2 in the morning. Only 10% percent of the smaller faction is logged in, that means nearly the entire dominant faction will be blocked from logging in until more of the lesser faction wakes up.
I can not believe anyone is still trying to make a lucid argument for faction server queue.

[Slaughterize-azgalor]

Well here’s where you’re confused.

Wouldn’t the Alliance on Heartseeker transfer since they have a queue? Stalagg isn’t full either.

Oh, that’s right you’re just trying to make it easier for you and other Alliance players.

Most PVP servers are Horde dominated. Large numbers of them would transfer to Heartseeker in this scenario almost instantly evening out the server before any significant number of Alliance are pushed to transfer from queues.

[Olindin-nesingwary]

Reading comprehension is hard yeah??

By all means show me where I said that. Get off your hate wagon and learn to treat each comment on a separate basis.

Good day hope it gets better

[Orrin-faerlina]

One faction afking in capital cities creates more imbalance than anything else.

So eff’in true. There’s so many Alliance that just don’t give a ****. They rather complain to Blizzard to fix it for them when they are not willing to go out and make a change. The servers that are 60/40 are more than capable of getting players to combat the horde but the truth is the majority of them just don’t care.
