As you've probably noticed in the past few days, we've been considering a few faction balancing measures in order to ensure quality of gameplay on Outland. Furthermore, we have designed a temporary package of perks for Alliance players in order to motivate and incentivize more players to join Alliance.
Alliance faction perks will last until August 1, 2017 and will contain the following:
Free Apprentice Riding and Expert Riding skills
+50% reputation gain on kill of targets that provide reputation (1.5x)
+50% experience gain (7.5x)
+50% honor gain (1.5x)
While it is not planned, perks may be paused at any time as a part of measures of achieving long-term faction balance as we monitor statistics and analyze trends on an hourly basis.
We strive to provide our community the best realms they can desire, with highest regards to quality, security and stability. Part of this promise is to make our realms as enjoyable as we can and resolve any problems we face, whether those problems are incidental in their nature or created by players' preferences.
Sorry guys but this was a really stupid thing to do IMO. You didn't think about the players that went out of their way to grind for the mounts in these extreme conditions, now everyone gets the mounts free whilst everyone else is out of 600g. Don't like this at all.
Great news! Only I just spent 570g on riding about 3 mins before announcement. Possible to get a refund? If not I won't QQ but took a while to get that amount thx Character name: Zenshua Nightelf Druid
