    Then why did none of the issues happen in Tanaan? Frostfire already had significantly less players since it was Horde only. And Legion quickly distributed players over a far larger set of areas, so sharding didn't play nearly as much of a role.

    Let's not get into it - It's not a time for negativity They might be doing some stuff I hard disagree with, but they're definitely doing a lot of things right as well. I'm especially looking forward to player power progression being much more time considerate than previous expansions - especially with the Steam Autumn sale reportedly landing today The BG changes, a lot of the class changes, new dungeon & raid content... It's gonna be a good time.

    I'm cautiously optimistic for Shadowlands as a whole, which is the absolute polar opposite of how I was after the BfA beta & just a few weeks of that expansion going live, so hey! Good times ahead for all, hopefully!

    Well, this is interesting:

    https://www.wowhead.com/news=319365/...tion-imbalance

    It reminds me of how they approached the level squish - at first it was a hard "no", then "yeah, we see that there is a problem, but it would suck to lose a bunch of your levels" and then we got it, and... the sky didn't break (oh, wait), people didn't whine too much about it and right now most are probably used to being level 50.

    I think the same will happen with cross-faction play. Blizzard will eventually add it to the game, some people will be unhappy, but most will just be happy that it's easier to find groups and that they can play the faction they like without worrying about population.

    If the trend keeps continuing the community will solve it for them, but there being no organised PvE left on Alliance (outside of Oceania where apparently the trend is reversed).
    It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

    Frankly, the only thing i don't like about it is his bullshit excuse. For how integral it supposedly is, it's odd how players are apparently the only ones that can't go and cooperate when the fecal matter hits the air stirrer. Again. Unless it's PvP, then all you need to do is wear a mask and nobody will bat an eye.

    Yeah, faction imbalance is self solving problem. Soon there is no Alliance left.

    It's only a matter of time before they won't have any other choice if they want both factions to be able to participate.

    That's not really solving the issue, just rendering it irrelevant.

    I'm about an hour or two from going to bed, having woken up at 19:10 yesterday to watch the football. It's all lining up pretty perfect for me - I just hope I can sleep

    Funniest thing is I was never planning on going full-on with the early tryhard leveling, but I sort of just fell into a near-perfect schedule a few days back, so decided to just stick with it lol.

    One of the only bittersweet parts of leaving BFA behind is this thread ending. Until the next one!
