Wintergrasp with server faction imbalance

WotLKC isn’t here yet. But you know you’re looking forward to it.

How do we suppose Wintergrasp will be handled with the server imbalance problems we’re seeing. That zone was a huge pvp component for WotLK. Yes, we had the mini-raid-boss effect for the underrepresented faction in WotLK the first time around. But we’re now looking at much more severe imbalances. Plenty of servers at or heading to 100% faction domination. What do you think will be the solution? Cross-server WG?

Same as last time. I will just avoid it as much as possible.

Get ready for 20 stacks of tenacity!

Seriously doubt there will be any servers that aren’t single faction PvE servers by the time that WOTLK drops

I remember getting that stacking buff. I’d 1-shot the other faction. It was hilarious. I lost every game, but I felt like a God.

WG will probably turn into an obligatory daily/weekly activity for Alliance on Heartseeker. Folks will show up, insta-cap and do their raid.

Spirit towers are really just free gold and honor of you can time it.

Shattered Hand was horde-heavy. We’d frequently have 10+ stacks. Yeah, we’d still lose.

They should just add the Wintergrasp buff to all BGs instead of HvH.

lmao what imbalance
the one where everyone will reroll human?

We dont know that at all. In fact, its the opposite. TBC is the last ride.

It has a player cap like BGs so it really shouldn’t matter how imbalanced a realm is.

Here comes the tank druid with 90k health lol

You realize that would mean imbalance, right? I’m not talking about horde vs alli populations right now. I’m saying that almost all servers are tending toward dominance by one faction or the other. It’s as Ozzman says above. Yes, the human racial is OP in WotLK pvp. Try to think beyond the Horde v Alli mindset for a minute. We’re talking about 100% faction servers of either side facing the same issues. Pagle is already “full” and 100% Alliance. Bene is heading that way fast. Won’t exactly solve the issue if the last two horde there reroll Alli, eh?

There’s no way they won’t at least go to Wrath. The only thing that could stop it is the company collapsing.

Oh they will, but will most of the players? Big fat doubt.

i would be very, VERY mad if i dont get wrath and a solid chance to delve deep into Ulduar hard modes, its literally the reason i signed up to classic, i didn’t care TOO much about the old content, i wanted to experience the best of tbc and Wrath raids and content mainly, if they drop out and dont deliver wrath ill do horrible things as revenge to this forum lol.

It’ll work the same way it always did. The dominate faction will control it 9 times out of 10 if the sever is absolutely dead on one faction then the dominant faction will always control it. If the minority faction has any kind of a presence though, they’ll randomly win it now and then during nonpeak play times, and the players on that faction will do VoA then, or they’ll miss out.

well, if this is the case, it really won’t matter because there’s no enemies to begin with. sounds like it’ll “work itself out” again…
