Queued up for pvp today, Sunday… 13 mins per queue as ALLIANCE… Wow. Never seen that. lvl 80 here… why ???
Most people have their full honor sets and are just waiting for Tuesday.
Not much point in farming more honor, unless you want to transfer it to alts.
I can do bgs now, but they’re just to stomp people who aren’t geared lol.
So people don’t pvp… for fun??

I mean, I certainly still do, but there’s a lot of stuff I haven’t done like every delve, world content, and stuff to get ready for Tuesday.
Like, I have an epic leatherworking pattern in my bag for epic-quality boots, that’ll be amazing once the PvP season starts.
Gotta level my leatherworking to get those boots. Gotta get 250 Valorstones for the spark needed to craft those boots at the appropriate level, and plug in the PvP crafting item I’ll need, probably from Conquest once we can get that.
Basically, I have stuff to do to remain competitive, that’s more productive right now than just grinding honor.
I think queues are shorter for Horde, as I’ve seen the mercenary NPC present. But they lose more, so yeah lol. That’s a trade-off.
The Alliance queue is longer because Alliance is the dominant PVP faction right now. Has been since DF. If you want a shorter queue, you gotta merc mode.
People are done. It takes about 8500 honor to buy the full green honor set. That’s one casual day of BGs, especially considering the 2-3 quests that award 1000 honor each. As time goes on, fewer people will queue for content they no longer need. Seems obvious.
There was a HUGE number of people that would normally NEVER queue a random BG doing it this past week to get their initial gear. Now they’re done.

uhhhhh wat ?
It’s pretty much true/common knowledge.
There’s an NPC that exists so you can swap factions and play on the other side, just for casual bgs.
And they’re regularly up, which means Alliance is dominating in PvP.

Been a thing since WoD.
More Alliance are queueing than Horde. Log onto a Horde character, they always have the enlistment bonus up for normal BGs. Not epics, though.

Yep, haven’t PvP’d since WOTLK. I only liked random BGs and didn’t want to do arenas to get PvP gear so I just stopped doing it.
Now the new BG blitz is here, I’m willing to give it a shot again.
How do we swap merc mode in TWW?
There’s an orc with a human mask named Nassar around the PVP vendors. He’s by the PvP training dummies at the Contender’s Gate.
Alliance is the dominate faction
Who woulda guessed literal years of the best racials would cause more imbalance
Ever goto the store and theres a line to check out with alot of people cuz theres alot of people shopping, this is the same thing
