So needless to say, you read that article wrong.
“I think global faction balance is in a pretty fine place,” Hazzikostas said. “There are two problems that we’re looking for solutions to. War Mode and participation in War Mode is one thing where I think we’ve actually made some technical improvements to improve shard balancing in practice in [the Battle for Azeroth expansion].
He also says all from Forbes.
"A variety of difficult-to-control factors can contribute to imbalance in populations of Horde versus Alliance in the same server areas in War Mode.
For example, players who join large raid groups for world quests all abruptly appear on the same shard, causing an imbalance that the game’s internal systems try to balance by bringing in an equivalent number of opposite-faction players. If the raid group then disbands after the quest is done, causing those players to pop back into their own realms, the compensating characters can leave a sudden glut of opposing faction players in the area."
They can't fix sharding because Ally's keep breaking it.
Just like how they favor horde when Ally's DDOS servers with 120+ raids, and get ported out.
You as a solo alliance player, doing your dailys, see zergs of horde that just happened to be in the shard, when the shard is over popped.
As horde, we either see, the opposite of you, a few solo Ally's running around trying to do their WQs. Or we see all too frequently, the 20-40 death squads that run around constantly.
That's the porblem you are not getting. You complain that you keep running into Mobs of Horde WQs, half of which won't fight you. While we have to deal with raids of people thats only goal is to camp us. Now you want a faction wide permanent buff to death squad us? Gtfoh.
Non of the horde is in groups, if they are it's for a WQ right there and it will break soon. The Ally's have what 4? Capped WPvP community's, horde has Zero. It takes 30-45 mins to get 20 people on horde to group up to fight those ally death squads that form in 5 mins.
Ally's take over shards on purpose, you might not be a part of that, and that's fine. That doesn't make it not reality that it is happening.
The PvP WQs are in the 8.1 what's coming from the blizzcon interviews. It's not towers, it's some other invasion PvP event thing that will be giving Conquest.
BTW, it has zero to do with Ally's having a bad experience and everything to do with
Hazzikostas said the game has seen some imbalance in the types of activities players pursue since the beginning. Alliance is “potentially a little bit” more likely to include more casual players, he said.
That's his nice way of saying, Ally's are carebears, always have been always will be.
I know, a few people who play ally only. My uncle, his wife and their guild. Or should I say guilds, they couldn't fit everyone in 1, they have 2 capped and 1 with like 800. Not 1 of them people raid, they don't do dungeons they don't PvP, they just quest, and RP level Alts ect.
Not that their is anything wrong with that, at all. Just the reality is, the majaority of the alliance has and always will be the people that come and say "I want to be the good guys". And those are the people that don't want to attack players,
When the head Dev is telling you that is reality, it's safe to say, it's reality.
