Please do something about Faction pop balance before launching wotlk pre patch, make transfers from Ally to horde unavailable and give people reason to play on lower pop faction, such as free mount upon reaching max level, bags etc...
Forum says it's 45/55 and you can go on Isle or anywhere in the open world and you will notice its much bigger gap, besides the fact that Alliance have a lot of bots and multi boxers all the time online. Also every patch multiple guilds break up and transfer to horde, I can name 10+ guilds that transferred to horde, thats over 1k player in just guild transfers, and I would assume overall number is much much higher. I myself transferred multiple characters to horde cause it was unplayable on ally to farm any open world spots.
Yeah true and always been the case on tbc/wotlk as racials usually puts Horde above in pve content
From what i saw all these years many servers offers a free faction change from Horde to alliance beside like cheaper mount price and dual spec and it helps balancing a bit the ratio so why not?
Not a big fan of cheaper mounts or free dual spec, as that affects the in-game economy. However, making transfers from Horde to Alliance free, or increasing the price for transferring from Alliance to Horde, might be a step in the right direction.
