He means they turn it on for invasions then go back and leave it off for the rest of the week in order to influence the system into accepting there are significantly fewer Alliance with war mode on than Horde so their bonus gets larger and they get the Against All Odds quest more often. Every Monday night if I log onto my Alliance bank alt there's people spamming in every chat channel to turn off war mode before you log off for the weekly calculation. No idea if this actually does anything, but some people believe it does and if there's enough people willing to go this far to game the system the idea of them being "hand-out whores" becomes more understandable.
The most difficult thing to do is accept that there is nothing wrong with things you don't like and accept that people can like things you don't.
Yeah, I didn't buy the whole "there's one point in time each week Blizz looks at the numbers and calculates what the next week's bonus will be" this. But if large numbers of Alliance are only turning it on for invasions or the battle of Nazjatar and then turning it off all the rest of the time, while the Horde are either leaving it on or leaving if off and letting it alone for the most part I can't imagine it wouldn't make some kind of difference.

Leveld 2 twinks recently, one with the other without warmode, because I just forgot to turn it on, didn't even notice the difference. It may be crucial at the start of an expansion if you want to be max level as fast as possible, but honestly, those 20% are just bait. World PvP should have their own separate system with own rewards and WQ. Right now its only slightly faster leveling for one group of people Vs. a chance to gank low levels who can't fight back for the other.

1. a place where people who stopped playing World of Warcraft 10 years ago gather to tell those who still enjoy the game, how bad it is right now.
That excuse is weak and you know it. They could have gotten around that by making quests give non-warmode rewards if the criteria for completion wasn't fully or majority checked off while in WM.
If someone kills 15/15 boars in WM then goes and turns it off, under my system, they'd get the war mode XP because they were IN war mode when the criteria was met. If they did the quest outside war mode then turning it on before handing in would also have no effect as the criteria was met outside war mode.
With this system, you wouldn't reap the rewards unduly, but you'd also have greater flexibility as to where you can enable war mode.

Yes, it would work for maybe the first week, if you're lucky then the first 2. Then you would have literally zero Alliance turning it on after that UNLESS you gave them like free Mythic raid loot for it or something.
Which just breeds an even more toxic environment.
Honestly, I think the best way to make warmode work is a Battle for Nazjatar type system where you can eliminate shard-hopping. It only comes up when the sides are balanced and is actually a pretty fun warmode event when it's even.
If only it had more useful rewards outside of battle commendations (which are useless) and conquest (which again is useless) I think we would have more participation.
But as long as shard hopping is a thing it just won't work.
I feel like no matter which solution Blizzard comes up with to solve an issue, the players find a flaw, then they exploit it and then start complaining that the game is broken. Somehow classic wow didnt have these problems. Looks like the more features they add, the more shit comes with it.
I dont why you turn this into a Classic praise. Classic had a shit ton more problems than current WoW. Alliance not participating in Warmode is only annoying, but it's a luxury we can complain about it as it's Just a minor issue.
Plus its a player thing not a system thing.
IMO, Warmode was fantastic in BGA until the NAzjatar patch and flying, and now it's a total clusterfuck.
Also, the next expansion will have Alliance and Horde sharing zones and questing together again. Using warmode outside of a 5 man group just won't be worth it as you'l just be parmanatly battling or ganked/ganking the whole time.

I think it's pretty good as it is, but I would like to be able to toggle it on in any of the capital cities.
