Realms Mercenary mode causes pvp imbalance

[dolcokidol]

Ok, I'll take the bait.

It was unbalanced because majority of PVP population picked alliance, horde had barely any pvp guilds, arenas were like top 8 Alliance, 1 Horde, 6 more Alliance and so on. So anyone wanting to PVP picked, guess what, Alliance.
Now, if you can get this through your thick skull, out of 12k online, say 2k are leveling, 5k are PVE, 5k are PVP. Out of those 5k almost 4k are Alliance. Making Alliance queue times insane. So now you have players just sitting there waiting, and other players just getting instant queue pops and getting obliterated bg after bg after bg (repeat).
Alliance are sick of waiting 5 minutes and having no challenge.
Horde are sick of getting stomped.
Introduce Mercenary.
Now, if you're Alliance, you're bored of steamrolling through unmotivated players, you don't feel like waiting another 10 minutes for the next round so you turn on Mercenary. Now there's no long wait time, it's actually challenging because other team is also PVP geared, they show some resistance.

Only issue here is that you're a little ***** who doesn't like the challenge of playing vs people who actually know what they're doing.
So keep your statistic of 1 player to yourself. Everyone here seems to be ok with it, but oh we've got a prince here, let's **** over the rest of the players to please one.

Hes right you know, before we had mercenary system online we got spammed with posts from Horde players complaining they coulden't win a single BG in about 20 matches (for the upper brackets). This is yet the first post I saw where you complain that Horde wins too much...
Alliance dominating pvp has allways been a thing but when they implemented "Crossrealm" to the table it escalated, alliance won "all the time", Mercenary mode fixed that.
I would say BG's has never been better.

[Thorbjorn]

I see your knowledge of the game mechanics is poor. Crossrealm was introduced since patch 4.3 (I hope you know what patch you are playing atm).



Currently it is 3 of us that are against Mercenary Mode agains 2 of you. The poll is old and personally I voted Yess because it is not what we expected to be.



Hahahahahah. I laugh so hard on this one. Are you kid or something? Do I choose to play against Alliance in battlegrounds being Alliance myselff?
Also, Mercenary people retain their racial abilities which is imbalance on its own. Only that thing is enough to strongly oppose it. You have 10 racial abilities on one team, and 5 on another. But your knowledge again proven to be poor. Imagine interfactional teams in arena and what imbalance it would cause? Holy Pladin Belf with Human Warrior in team. Are you serious?

I stopped reading the moment you said 3 people. Later troglodyte

From 5k PVP players there is 4k Alliance. Are you ******ed or what?

Lol, I see you have SM, but I still don't understand why you crying on mercenary mode. Also, I see that you don't want to show your character name, action bar, etc, so I can understand now where the fault is my dear prince. The fault is not mercenary mode, it is your play style and skill. You will anyway cry and whine whatsoever. With that being said, please stop blaming warmane for mercenary mode.

Oh my friend you are very wrong. I was so so so much active and I did everything for my Alliance to win the Battleground. For the King.
I put 4 demolishers out of use for Horde, I did great job. And don't forget that I had a Human racials which means I was a Human. And logically Humans fight for the Alliance. Technically I did great job for my Alliance. The question is why server put me in Horde team when I am Human??? But that is not my concern, I am here only to play not to ask questions.

On the other side. There are some players that are Horde in their hearth but want to have Human racial. So they beg and complain to the GM's to allow them to play as Humans on Horde side. The appearence of player's character means nothing, its like transmog or ninja potion. They will recognize themselves after reading this I am sure.

For the real Horde I have great respect. They fight bravely and with honor. That is the Horde that will never transfer only to have different racials.

Bring us back the old Lordaeron PVP where we knew every player in BG each team to other and we had respect for each other.

Like others have said before, mercenary mode was added to reduce the queue times for Alliance and has nothing to do with transmog or any other kind of visuals.

Absolutely, the queue times for Alliance has been greatly reduced. It's almost instant or max to max 5 minutes wait time including if you are doing pms as well. Mercenary mode is such a great feature implemented and majority of us like me are very happy with it. Also, it was put into place after majority of us voted for it, so it was implemented with players concern. There's also an option if you don't want mercenary mode, you don't have to activate it. With all options given, I still don't understand why people whine and cry about everything.

the amount of people that voted is low tho yet I agree horde have a better chance to win bgs now with the tryhard pvp guilds on alliance from Od to carp and so on
