Why does Alliance get 20%

[Mut-earthen-ring]

Would have to be 100% before I would turn on wm lol.

[Worldpvp-nerzhul (Worldpvp)]

Wpvp should have no reward thats why i joined a pvp server back in the day now i see no alliance from my server

Except it doesn’t take into account sharding, which is a joke.

Early on in the xpac you could get put into an alliance dominated shard. So the buff is sily.

Then as I pointed it out when it released…but xp buff is only really useful while leveling. So it encourages you to turn on warmode while a lower than max level only to get ganked by high level players.

Meanwhile the high level players have little to no incentive to leave warmode on, since the rewards are meh at best and certainly not worth the effort. At least BFA gave a pittance of conquest.

I rather die in real life than befriend one of you alliance nerds. /spit

[Hounze-korgath]

Because blizzard doesn’t understand the nature of the faction imbalance or how to properly address it.

For whatever reason they helped Alliance when they got screwed, but didn’t help Horde when the Alliance showed they could do the exact same…

Blizzard buffed up the guards around neutral and horde flight masters. They also made it that like a zillion horde guards will spawn if you go 1 cm into a horde base. Meanwhile horde can /afk in the middle of an alliance base and never get guards on them. Even when the player and the guards are at the same level. I know this from personal experience.

If people have to be bribed to participate in Warmode, they don’t like Warmode in the first place.

Don’t design a game in which people feel forced into something that’s supposed to be a choice because the incentives make it too lucrative to not participate.

I’d literally rather see a queue to enter Warmode for the overpopulated side than see buffs and perks and bonus rewards tossed around to the underdog. I do not want to PvP and I do not want to feel like I’m a 2nd class citizen for that.

YOU MEAN BE FRIENDS WITH THE ALLIANCE?!

And be enemies with Alliance. And Horde.

/Looks at the alliance while sharping his knives.

Except for Trolls. They are friends with everybody.

@Plagueth-tichondrius

and horde only gets 10% in Warmode?

I only read 11 posts in but it didn’t seem like anyone actually answered your question so.

The buff percentage is based on participation in WM. If there are more Horde than Alliance in WM then the Alliance will get a larger (based on how outnumbered they were for the week) buff. If all Horde players stayed out of WM for a week then Horde would have a large buff and Alliance would have a small buff.

Not exactly. Imagine that as the number of players doing things in the alliance is getting thinner, due to the alienating way that Blizzard has done things in the alliance, one of the solutions to keep the faction existing, at least in name, is to allow members from alliance become complements in horde groups, such as waiters, instead of carrying out faction trade to play in the horde.

The alliance would be reduced to a faction of horde addons. Servants or beggars, pleading for a place in horde groups, such as second-class players, for an endless stash of desaphores and jokes from players and devs who love to make fun of ally.

Humiliating for the alliance? Yes, but the devs don’t want to do anything that would change that, as good changes include doing things that might hurt the horde’s sense of superiority.

It’s not as if something in the lore or in-game, being done in the last 5 years, has been able to promote any valued being of the alliance.

Junkgnomes? Obese humans? Purple Blood elves? Fail.

After all, both devs and horde members love to make fun of the ally.

One of the solutions to encourage players to do wpvp in the alliance was to create a bribe in the form of more xp and rewards for making content in the open world, with the warmode active.
And this was done, because many players in the alliance, did not see any advantage of doing wpvp in realms of majority population of the horde, leaving many players in the horde unable to take advantage of wpvp for lack of people interested in doing this in the alliance.

But the horde members themselves also don’t want to play in the ally, even with the bonus offered.

The bonus doesn’t pay for the hassle. Even if it was 50% more bonus.
Wpvp in warcraft, is something unbalanced, unfair and retarded.
Eu mesmo, nunca ativo o warmode pois não é divertido sofrer ganks ou ser interrompido durante uma quest ou disputa por raros.
Myself, I never activate the warmode as it’s no fun getting ganked or interrupted during a quest or rare contest.

I’m sure that could all be fixed if worgen had tails.

[Wow-proudmoore]

Part of the reason war mode sucks compared to how PvP realms were is the fact that basically only people who are highly motivated to PvP will activate it. Reluctant PvPers were an important part of the PvP realm ecosystem. If you want to play a game mode where it’s just a given that every member of the opposite faction you run into is going to try to kill you, you could just queue up for a battleground.

[Krýssa-stormrage]

I only turn Warmode on to level. Even 10% on Horde is still better than 0% when you are leveling through the same zones 24 times. I level one of each class on Horde and Alliance. 20 down, 4 left to go.

The problem is Ruin Gaming.

[Sarama-firetree]

Turn WM into FFA mode. Everyone is red if they’re flagged regardless of faction. Let all the people who really want to PvP have at it. (and you won’t need a bonus anymore!)

[Zachaios-malganis (Zachaios)]

I recall when they first implemented the bonus differential. I was playing a human DK and I’d see all of general chat (regardless of world zone) blowing up with locations of Horde players to gank for the free cache reward under the weekly “against all odds” or whatever.

Alliance were lazy and just needed incentive to participate.

I’ll be an echo chamber to those who have said they should just bring back PvP and pve servers, then do away with the stupid reward.

I never needed any incentive to participate in PvP. I still think it was a dumb idea.

Hah, that reminds me of the difference between the guards at Honor Hold compared to the ones at Thrallmar back in the Burning Crusade expansion. You basically couldn’t even get too close to Thrallmar as Alliance, but regularly had Horde groups right inside Honor Hold doing their thing, because the guards were not really a problem.

@Kaurmine-area-52

I only read 11 posts in but it didn’t seem like anyone actually answered your question so.

It was answered in like the very first post after the OP. Even then my first post (post 11) answered it clear as day.

[Kaurmine-area-52]

I think my answer is more clear.

[Denona-khazgoroth (Denona)]

Well of course you would. After all you wrote it
