Ideas to temper the faction griefing
Let me begin by saying that 7 of my 9 toons are Horde, and that I'm not typically very involved in PvP. Trash me if you like, but that's where I'm coming from.
As I understand it, the faction imbalance has pockets of intensity during 1-60, mostly in traditionally Horde-laden zones like STV and Tanaris. But I wouldn't focus my efforts there, since each leveling bracket has multiple zones to choose from, and it's not where the worst griefing is taking place anyway.
It sounds like Outland is the worst of it, and Hellfire Peninsula is the worst of the worst.
So if that's indeed the case, what if the devs focus their efforts on HP, to stem the tide where it's the worst? Here's my idea:
Temporarily make Hellfire Peninsula a PvE zone.
That would give Alliance a safe questing area for 3-5 levels, and after that, at least people can spread out into different areas, and not all be concentrated into a single zone of ganking.
Then, once a larger chunk of the population gets to 70, and it's not such an issue, you can revert HP back to PvP.
Thoughts? Additional suggestions?
