Unbalanced factions

[Gwola]

Hi! Lordaeron has been a great success but there is an issue very annoying for hords, like me. In every single BG I face ally teams by far better equipped than hords. I could be just crying but its a fact that I lose 90% of BGs that I play and I suppose that is not a matter of skill when we are smashed at the 1st minutes even facing different players. In my opinion and for some reason ally is in a long (for months) winning strike allowing fast gearing up and appealing everyone of that faction to keep queueing. The opposite happens with hord, where players just queue for BGs till they get the gear they need and quiting after. Am I wrong? Wintergrasp is a better example that factions are totally unbalanced. Warmane, why don't you follow AT mixing factions at BGs? Shortest queues, balanced teams?

PS: I've played on AT for like 3 years getting 2.2k rating and always had fun on BGs

Make some friends and join a guild and queue with them , I don't see any problem here .

FIRST OFF: its really disapointing to see people call crybaby to someone who wants balance in pvp...if you call yourself a true pvp player you never want to win because you re just on a favoured position...so call me crybaby all you want...my mind will just read.."a ****** just quoted my post".

SECOND: If i understand correctly, no one is complaining or crying about the ratials, because we were ALL offered the option to CHOOSE whatever faction we wanted and whoever chose HORDE knew what they were getting into...what is being complained now is that the Alliance players in general are better geared up than Horde Players and that can be due to a random number of situations, my guess is that they picked overall classes that are easier to master on a BG battle situation, or prolly Hords afked like ******s in BGs...or because Alliance have better players overall....

THIRD: [Core of the issue here] The problem is that this well geared Alliance players are creating a snowball situation on BGs that make it hard for ppl that just reached lvl 80 to farm gear, while as if you are alliance and just reached lvl 80 , you re in luck! you will farm the gear easy peasy, 2 weeks tops! just follow the beastly geared players in front of you!...And that, unlike the faction situation isnt fair, because when i choose to play for the Horde i couldnt guess that a couple months later this would be happening...and to be honest, because i consider myself a pvp player..id still be complaining if i were an Alliance, because there is no fun in just following the TRain of Pallys and Warriors full Geared wrecking everyone (averadge it takes 4 players to kill one Paladin before he kills 1 or 2)...

If you can solve the problem easily by making mixed teams on BGs and making it possible for the system to balance teams based on GearScore ...why not? why ignore the awesome winning ratings of the Alliance on BGs and say is "normal" or "okay".

If all you want is to say you re the better faction, for all i care, Alliance wins, you are ****ing beastly awesome, now woopdity doo, lets balance BGs and have fun shall we?...

I play on horde side and what you say is almost true, we dont lose 90% of bgs but a big portion nontheless(higher than60% for sure but most of the lost ones are avs in which horde is at a disadvantage cause of the layout of this ****hole of a bg), but i dont aggre with your solution of mixed bgs. I played one month on arena tournament and couldnt cope with it anymore... I wasnt playing wow if anyone knows what i mean, im a fcking tauren and i cant be at the same team with dranei and gnomes, it just doesnt feel right, we play this game because of the lore and overall experience, we cant fck it up to balance factions in bgs...

A propable solution could be to give free transfer from alliance to horde but not from horde to alliance but since factions are equally populated i dont think this is gonna happen anytime soon. Anyway i agree with your concerns but i dont agree with the solution you propose.


P.S.: i hope you are not one of those guys that see a 3k player in the bg and say: we lost , fck we lost for sure....
Yesterday this happened twice, we had 2 guys saying from the start that we lost better lose fast.... And we steamrolled the alliance for over half the points in eots two times in a row... So even if you see low geared players remember that allies have the same number and that high geared allies rarely join bgs currently...

This made me lol so hard. AV is a wonderful map for horde to play on, it's just horde here don't know how to pvp or run AV, but as a matter of fact Horde have several choke points in AV while Alliance have 1. It's not Blizzard or Warmanes fault that Horde refuse to team up and use those choke points, but if horde players wanna keep crying and not solving their own problems, that's on them. No one's going to fix this game faster then one's self.

When I play horde in Retail WoW and we want wins, we get several like minded players on vent and all start queueing for the same bg and greatly increase our chances to win and i know this as not only have I been playing retail wow since early TBC, but also been a member of several premading groups through out the years including the most recent group called <Hydra> and we'd spend a full hour curb stomping alliance in AV as we know how to roll in AV.

Anyways, that's my two cents. If you're gonna pug bg's you're gonna have to be force to except whatever life gives you and insisting on begging Warmane to fix something that they shouldn't have to worry about. I'd also like to leave you this cute little video of <Hydra> dominating AV and rolling the Alliance and let you see first hand that Horde have a strong upper hand on the map.

I actually knew some of these guys and it even shows how we queued into av. So maybe you can learn something from this video.
