I've queued on both sides, at 6500 hks currently.

From Solo Queue Alliance perspective, win rates are as follows (last 3 weeks).

70/30 av
25/75 wsg
25/75 ab
30/70 eye

Overall gearing has...

Alli perks were total noob bait and it shows. Faction full of 70s with no professions and no will to work for a single win.

Horde have instant queue and a very fun WSG, AB, EOTS experience. I see no reason to ever queue up on my 70 alliance again, entire team will afk a 14v12 start.

You can afk in AV and get huge honor gainz bro.

I play both sides, alli is trash unless you like to afk honor gear for arenas.

50% honor buff made alli OK with losing. Down 2 players? Free Mark.

It attracted the wrong kind of PvPers, they just queue for gear and give no ****s about a competitive bg.

Alli, I'm fully honored geared, 5200 hks. Just joined into 5 insta loses in a row on alli.

70/30 av
30/70 eye
20/80 ab
20/80 wsg

Its a common practice across all private servers. Can't lose...

Went through 20 leavers and joiners in a short eots.

AV is a cancerous boss race, a honor whore who spreads her legs and sucks up everyone into her gaping honor chasm.

Games start 6v15 because of this. Then non stop joiners and leavers all game, and then the only people staying afk.

An even start to a bg other than AV is currently rare. I've been queuing ab,...

Personal anecdotes are useless.

I needed 50 wsgs marks and half my games started 1alli vs 7horde. Alli were constantly afking from the bad start, or leaving for better bgs. The win rate was so...

I myself am already 70, farmed enough gold for my epic mount, maxed two 375 proffs and first aid. Only played every waking moment, so I expect everyone to be waiting in BG queue for me.

What if...

Server hasn't been out a week and you expect active max level bgs?

Take a guess, what percentage of players do think are siting around at 70 having already geared up for pvp?

There is a meta to choosing races.

If fear class, go horde and dodge wotf. Gnome mage is perfect for fast queues and AV honor.

Think about the popular horde classes ( lock, priest, rog, shaman)...

Gaming forum users are always a tiny fraction of the population with a lot of hyperbole.

A large number of forum viewers will go horde because of a few doomsayers? That's rubbish and a...

Yes there will be an imbalance. A few alliance bg premades will not change a damn thing. The population will be capped, and a handful of bg heroes don't change the reason why people roll horde and...

No that's not true. I think you mean at the very very top of arena, wotf will be so broken that games can be decided by who has the extra cleanse effect. I don't think it should be downplayed at all....

But Wotf racial can actually swing an arena game. The better team usually wins sure, but what if everything else is equal? The team that doesn't have to sit in an extra fear wins the mirror match by...

Don't dismiss "BG heroes" so easily. Honor and marks are a large time sink for arena offsets, daily quests, and bonus weekends draw lots of players. Many arena players will queue for fun in their BiS...
