The argument against server transfers is also valid when it comes to Wow TBC gold switching sides. It is impossible to know whether the population will be able to support the long-term raiding of other content. Although there might be fewer queue times, you won’t be able to fill every raid within several months. Even though it’s the same server, each of the sides has its own player mindset and growth rate. What could be the solution even if server transfers were not for generally the same issues (queue times)?
The argument “I want to play alongside my peers” is quite valid. However, the problem is not with the player population, as it mainly affects open-world PVP but the overall balance of battleground groups and the motivation to take part in these battlegrounds. And especially the last part is the most significant issue, since each region is relatively balanced state overall and in a battlegroup with itself, but still horde ending 4-5 times then alliance.
It’s an untruth. The original Blizzard developers acknowledged that not addressing the disparity in racial representation had been a mistake. Every Man For Himself, one of the Horde player, has also proven this. Casual pve players on pve servers are the only ones who aren’t concerned about the racial issue.
It’s not easy to believe since only on servers with pvp, the balance is tilted toward the horde in all regions. Blood elves are 1. “pretty” 2. Horde, where you don’t have to fight op racials 3. have better racials for pvp than Draenei and their Alliance counterpart. Most people play their horde. Their goal was to shift population towards horde by design and was the primary reason that paladins received a significant buff during vanilla TBC and shamans also got reduced.
Today, racial distinctions are not that important unless you have super min increasing your max to gain a 0.5% advantage. It’s likely referring to the fact that allies feel that they’re being constantly cheated in legends (taking greater losses than the horde and stuff).
A large portion of the player base is also horde because that’s what most of the major guilds for raiding are (unless you’re oceanic which weirdly is the opposite).
Meta > Friends > Lore. You can use whatever reason you like about the faction you select The real reason is that players were playing the meta, and one faction was better than the other in PvP. If they had disabled racial skills for factions in PvP before they released the buy WOW Classic Burning Crusade Gold game, the imbalance wouldn’t have been nearly as bad.
