Why I'm quitting BGs as an Alliance player

This. If they rewarded some conquest for losing, it would at least encourage people to stay, and try to win. As it stands now, if you lose, you get nothing, because honor is garbage. In Swotr (Star Wars: The Old Republic, even if you lose, it will take you longer to get your daily done, but you still get it done. There is value in hacking it out. There is no value in this pvp system for someone who cannot win consistently, which makes it a bad system.

You are so right. This is a company who said too fans (whom after paying for admission, then paid airline tickets, then hotel rooms, took time off of work, and so on dulling out money to be at blizzcon) that they can expect a mobile game!

I still dont get why we dont have cross faction random bgs now. Yea yea yea, lore lore lore but we have merc mode. Just give people the option when the random q, do you want to play your faction or… surprise me.

And on the same note, why not make random bgs gear scale to max ilvl? Not templates, but it would adjust to ilvl “whatever” in rwndom bgs. It could still be whatever you have in rated and wpvp.

The main complaint it seems everyone has is over ilvl and faction imbalance.

They wont do it but would be more fun than playing this game as an app in a few years

Your welcome. #firstworldproblems

its really the player not the faction. Stop blaming others, see ways to improve yourself as well. Cause i promise you, nobody here is playing perfectly.

326

Think about why…some of them are probably Alliance players who have unsubbed.

327

Actually it is about the factions. Alliance are bleeding players. Blizzard is happy that horde are top. End of story.

that’s exactly the mentality that drags our society down…the I’m fully self absorbed don’t care what you do or choose or happens to you…a self serving society of selfish snobby brats…SO very happy that you’re having a good time and aren’t concerned in the least with anyone else’s feelings…that will take you so far in life and before you know it you’ll log in to play your “favorite” game and you’ll realize you’re playing a dead game with streamers that play because it’s income, try hards, people that haven’t given up because its their life and asmond gold…then you’ll sure as heck be wishing all those people that quit because it wasn’t fun for them were back around to keep the game alive so YOU can keep having your fun…I’ve read the entire thread to this point and everything you’ve posted has literally been toxic and childish/bratty enough to be considered hazmat…ffs people with these days think they’re stone cold steve austin, lincoln, luther king jr, steve jobs, and steven hawking’s rolled into one. A handful of 5-7 people defending or arguing against the OP’s post that is one of hundreds on the topic clearly negate and void his argument because it doesn’t apply to them but are so self absorbed they can’t realize that they are in the minority of people that feel everything is fine…if it was just A OK there would be less posts than people arguing against the faction imbalance…literally common sense, that situation where things can be understood without them being explained? by observing and keeping their entitled, egotistical fingers off the keyboard for 5 seconds to open their eyes… we get it…it doesn’t happen to you cool…hundreds of posts from the few with the gumption to make a post out of the thousands of unvoiced frustrated players think differently and your inexperience of this “fluke” as you all seem to only be able to describe it doesn’t make it not so…then all you can say is well then don’t do it…well then quit…well then who you going to play the game with…RUNESCAPE has more hits than warcraft/bfa/wow/classic or any other variation of search on google trends since right after launch of bfa…if you enjoy a game…or a COMMUNITY other’s happiness in that community is not your responsibility…however it may be in your interest to consider their complaints worthy of hearing and not immediately trying to undermine any changes in that community because it’s just fine for you but not the vast majority…to deny the fact there is a vast imbalance and extremely flawed systems in place…worst in wow’s history would be to ignore the mass exodus of players that have fled this abomination of a dumpster fire…push those ear plugs nice and deep and tighten that blindfold. life of solitude inbound …I’d wager it’s already well in progress.

I have thoroughly investigated your thesis and reviewed your data on imgur and have found the main issue.

The Horde has players with epically cool names: Withyourgirl, Shanksalldaylong, Fattyacidman. These are not the actual players names - I changed the spelling so I’m not naming real players

Unfortunately, the Alliance has names like: Peelmybananna and Critfaceqtpie These are not the actual players names - I changed the spelling so I’m not naming real players

Due to the nature of their names, the Horde are emboldened and morale increases by 10% on average, and the Alliance are demoralized and lose Vitality by a whopping 16%. this 26% difference is why the Alliance are losing.

I have the best Gnomes in Gnomeregan working on the solution - they are working on an EpicallyFantasticalUberRandomNameGenerator- they were seeing Motivational improvements of Eleventy %. Unfortunately, the lead Engineer got his tie stuck in the machine and pulled him in. Now all names generated end with Splat, Ick, not-qt and Goo - it’s a mess. Will update when the machine is back on line!

Has anyone noticed in Random BGs (CTAs) as alliance, where majority of the time everyone starts fighting in mid right off the bat while Hordes just get free flag caps.

I haven’t noticed this at all when I play on my horde toon but its just so common as alliance. Its like they don’t care about the objective or they don’t know how to play CTA and think its a K/D match…

I’m aware that majority of good/skilled players went horde,
but i don’t want to believe that majority of alliance players can’t even understand what CTA is. =/

Edited: I meant CTF, not CTA. My apologies.

Go Horde, see if it’s better for you.

Generally speaking, what I’m about to ask might be a dumb question. But for someone newish, it bears asking. How do you get a 125% win rate in a battleground?

335

Don’t think that is possible.

336

Win with style

or just hope you get a glitch on the stat page

I noticed you currently have a 125% win rate in Seething Shore.

338

It’s a glitch in the Matrix.

Be careful what you ask for with this “i think losers should get conquest points too” talk :thinking:

If the losing team was given conquest points I bet the number of do-nothing AFK’ers and bots would skyrocket. Incentives matter.

I’ve literally lost 10 in a row as alliance today. Never seen a streak like that on horde. The chance of it happening randomly is 0.001%.

Just getting daily win is a huge pain in the a,s for alliance.

What blizz needs to do is provide incentive to actually perform as an individual in BGs. So many alliance just queue to basically afk while watching TV and hopefully get their win.

You’re a green; you can’t admit there’s any kind of horde favoritism because it might upset people on the forums. Either you recognize that Blizzard only publicly belittles one faction to their face during Blizzcon or you don’t.
How’s many BGs do the horde win now overall?
Oh, right…ALL OF THEM.
Devs admitted that they mained horde in, I think it was the world building panel.
But Greens can’t admit that gameplay favors the horde because of past racials that caused a talent drain of our most talented guilds to horde.
Ion said that, but I know, you have to toe the line.
Ooh we get to choose from four ship names? Wow, that totally equals the horde who actually have a choice.
