TBC Horde have and edge on Alliance?

[Toolt]

the ally got an edge on horde....because if the ally dont queue on bg the horde can't do the bg. The ally are gonna decided what bg they want to do and which not....

This is how it works. just like Ayame said.

When ally start making premades and only queing what they have best win rate in. BG's will be horrible for Horde and Ally will outgear Horde.
And since it starts on S1. Farming the marks for the gear Alliance have the upperhand.
I have seen this on many servers, Horde starts crying on Discord or on Forums for Ally to que so they can get the mark they need for the specific gear they want to get.

When it comes to Horde Racial vs Ally Racials: (Dont underestimate Alliance)

UD: Good vs Fears HUMAN: Stealth detection
TAUREN: Decent clinch stun. NIGHT ELF: Free Drinks in arena.
ORC: Good against stuns GNOME: Break Mage Shatters or Roots
TROLL: Haste mainly PVE focused DWARF: Free Cloak of Bleed/Poisions
BE: 1s Silence. (+RET Paladins) DRAENAI: Crazy Heal +1%Party Hit

I'm 'comfortable' we should be able to maintain a even population spread but you can't account for peoples stupidity. Warmane's wotlk realms should be more alliance populated but they arn't hopefully the same will be true for the TBC realm. Some plebs just got to realize their quality of life on horde wont be as fantastic as they think it'll be (espeically if theres too many horde, GL bg queues LOL)

People are confusing tbc with vanilla. There isn't going to be a BG farming group on either side. Besides the population will probably be more balanced than you think. In random BGs Horde usually dominate even on vanilla servers.

[tempequinnox1]

There definitely will be BG farming groups when theres a new season out ;) but overall your right, which is why I like TBC

[dngrs]

you can already see that most interest is for Horde by looking in the recruitment section. Its mostly horde guilds lol.

[BigJigs]

Real men roll Alliance to be the 300 vs the 3,000.

@Dngrs....hope to see you in game sometime for a stop and chat.

what do you mean WOTLK should be more alliance? horde racial in WOTLK are still way better for PVE then alliance.as for PVP part of the game alliance population dominate there.just go check blackrock armory.in top 100 teams there is 2-3 horde and 97-98 alliance.....
for TBC however its simple 1 sided horde racial are better in every aspect of the game.
as for BG farming groups on every warmane realm/expansion they host there have always been BG farming guilds.for this guys rolling alliance will be way better since racial dont have huge impact in BGs.

Yes there will be an imbalance. A few alliance bg premades will not change a damn thing. The population will be capped, and a handful of bg heroes don't change the reason why people roll horde and stay horde.

Better economy, more pve guilds, better racial synergy for top tier arena teams, control of valuable world zones, and everything else that comes with having an extra 1000 players on your side.

If you really like instant bg queues, go alliance. I plan to roll both sides, so here's hoping people do the same.
