The Irony of it all

[Rekz]

Blizz has treated Alliance like garbage for the better part of a decade but the true irony is that Blizzard's downfall will be the result of their treatment of Alliance. Blizz is in a corner right now with their horde vs horde bgs but it's not gonna save them. Too little too late for a company as despicable as Blizzard.

Hey, you did it to yourselves. Don't blame activision, or anyone else. You did it to yourselves and karma's a bitch. You get what you deserve.

Why even have factions anymore

[arkanon]

I think this is a great change and one I have been asking them to implement for a very, very long time, right down to the "its just military training". Good #Change

[Feanoro]

You know what a better change would have been? Not fucking over one half of your playerbase.

[Kralljin]

Those legacy servers simply repeat the mistakes that have been made during WoW's development at an accelerated pace.
Unfortunately, those servers are currently stuck between the odd place of still attempting to adhere to some authenticity but also trying to make it more playable.

But i do find it extremely ironic that the faction population were overall more balanced in Classic, despite being less balanced.

Alliance players are so sad. This change literally doesn't impact any of you.

Yeah, all the horde celebrating this should take a step back and think about why they're happy about it. If they want retail they should go back to retail. This is a terrible change.

If for some reason theres not enough alliance to pop a bg we'd never get a queue at all. This is literally worse than merc mode.

Not excited over this and I am personally hoping this just ends up needing to be a temporary fix but honestly if it means lower BG ques I'd rather have this than nothing. Shame they don't have a solution though for AV.

As much as I think this change is stupid I'd really like to see it applied to av as well.

Im not sure what you mean? If there is heaps of horde, and no alliance, the alliance will just get queued against horde, since the horde players queue will be trying to get an alliance group FIRST, and only if there isnt one will it go to HvH.

Lets say theres only 14 alliance queing at a time, we'd either never get an eots or an ab to pop or we'd be undermanned the entire time.

If there's only 14 alliance queing for a BG at a time (in cross realm bgs in TBCClassic) Blizzard has much bigger problems.

How exactly is this going to lead to the downfall of Blizzard?

You're using some pretty dramatic language to describe a computer game company.

Horde players who wanted to enjoy TBC for BGs (myself included) basically couldn't play the game. That was a big problem. Alliance players won't even notice, because if they implement it how they're describing, Alliance will always end up fighting Horde.

I'm happy about it because it allows me to play battlegrounds, with zero downside.

Whats the point of playing a 2 faction game when one side is clearly superior or catered to?

That will never happen. Your queue's are always going to be near instant.

I remember the days when the alliance was unbelievably favored. I bet you didn't care during that time that one faction was clearly superior.

It's more like a third.

When was this?

[Kalarm]

Uh what? So Alliance players will keep have fast queues and horde players will be able to actually play BG's... How is that bad? I missed something?

Attempting to fix an issue that was effectively preventing over half the playerbase from playing a large part of the game is not "catering" to them. While I agree factions are pointless beyond RP reasons, this basically has zero affect on gameplay whatsoever except to allow Horde to play BGs. Also, "clearly superior" is a vast overstatement.
