As others have said, that's the price of their decisions. Horde have it easier in some ways, harder in others. Same for Alliance.Play horde, have more allies, have fewer enemies, wait longer. Play Alliance, have fewer allies, have more enemies, wait less. It's balanced in a different way.
The "just go alliance" when this problem became so much worse because a &*!@ ton of alliance went horde for TBC for Arena. So I should delete all my old classic vanilla characters and leave my friends so I can instant queue and play PvP.
People who have "faction pride" in 2021 makes me cringe.Comments are basicly horde crying I can't play 50% of the game. And ally laughing that's what u get for meta gaming.
Reminds me of Tol'Borad back in Cata. Server I was on was heavily Horde. Queue as Alliance? Get in no matter when you queue. Queue as Horde? If you didn't queue within the first five seconds of that 15 minute timer starting, you weren't ever getting in.
Well Hordies get OP racials, so it is natural that people would flock to Horde. From great power comes great responsibility, people are just dealing with yhe consequences of their own actions.People voluntarily chose to play a old unbalanced game, and every system was already known for 15 years so it is not like people were stabbed unaware. If you want more balanced game you should play retail.I would be OK with free faction transfer (Horde -> Ally only) though.
lmao... You can’t have an OP faction without it being overplayed too. If you rolled horde to stomp on lowly alliance dogtier racial gamerbros, then you have to wait your turn.
Allow me to summarize: - If you want to play with good pvpers, play horde. Enjoy the long queue times. - if you want to feel like you're good because you can make premades on Discord and crush pugs that are half AFK from waiting an hour in queues that you hugely outgear since you can farm a full pvp set in a few days, then blame the horde "cry babies" for poor game design, play alliance!If everyone "just switches to alliance" we'd just end up with the same exact problem? Allowing horde teams to play each other in BGs (like they already do in arenas) is the solution here. By now, people are settled with their online and RL friends on their servers and their guilds, etc, so no, sorry, "lol just switch" is a terrible solution.
really excited to see how you guys react to WoTLK's pvp meta
This honestly is a poor article as it only argues from the perspective of Rokman, who has unabashedly played Horde for his entire wow career, without any single concern for the Alliance playerbase outside of "this really hurts both of us, not just me :)". Not a single mention of the negative impacts that the article's proposals have on Alliance.
Some of the responses here are so cringe-worthy. Yikes. It's a game, y'all. Dang. I haven't even TOUCHED Classic or TBC Classic and I know that this #nochanges mantra some of y'all are clinging to went out the window a loooong time ago.It's a game. That most people are playing for the sake of nostalgia. As such, the game and its elements should be accessible to all in a timely manner. One-hour queues are not okay for either faction. And to think that some of you would try to sabotage an entire match because of merc mode... jeeze. Get a grip and ask someone for a hug. Something needs to change for the overall health of TBCC. Like I said, I don't even freakin' play it and this worries me. It literally just launched a few weeks ago and already things are looking grim. Blizzard will surely find themselves in a place to change something for the overall health of the game. And if they don't? That's just unbelievably sad.
Whats a point to play PvP on TBCC? PvP is not about story or lore. It's for people who do not care about the game itself.
Am I crazy or were the Alliance dominating PvP throughout Vanilla and TBC and all the way to Legion on retail?EMFH. Perception. Shadowmeld. Human Rogues hard countered all other Rogues and NE Rogues got stealth+. Humans were the top tier PvP race, anyone serious about PvP was a human if the class they played allowed it.Why do people playing Classic suddenly think Horde racials are so much better? Also the people bemoaning merc mode, you do know it was put in for the benefit of Alliance players during WoD right?I am in fact crazy, it was WotLK-WoD. I misremembered that bit.
