Realms Battleground: Queue imbalance suggestion

[NainVert]

As the faction imbalance in Battleground comes mostly from the Blacrock population, wouldn't it be wiser to address the issue on Blackrock only? (I assume it is the case because Blackrock is the only realm with strong Alliance/Horde imbalance favouring Alliance, plus, from battleground experience, Balrock players always constitute a large part of the Alliance players in any battlground - hinting that the imbalance comes mostly from Blackrock only - and behold, it appeared exactly when Blackrock as added to queue.)

So a smart suggestion that strongly polarize the whole community has been made - mercenary mode. What about going even smarter (?) and saying that the faction imbalance can be solved from making modifications/addition to Blacrock - without changing anything for the other realms?

Maybe on blackrock you could allow the pickup of racial traits independantly of the race, if the class the player pickedup could have been of the race he picked the racial traits of? This would merely be equal to "transmogrifcation" of the race for Blackrock players - shouldn't be too much of an issue because they are probably much less attached to their characters than players from Icecrown or Lordaeron.

For instance, an Orc Warlock on Blackrock could pick up the racial traits of Orc, Troll, Undead, Gnome or Human, but a Troll Hunter could not pick up Human racials, he would only be able to take Dwarf, Draenei or Night Elf racials (on top of the Horde racials).

The issue would appear in Arenas when an undead would use Blood Elf silence or a Tauren War Stomp, or that you could have a player with Horde racials teaming with a player with Alliance racials - but I'm sure there would be way around for Arena, for example the UnitRace() returning the race of the racial traits, and the impossibility of make a team if the racial traits don't belong to the same faction. It wouldn't hurt them since they (Blackrock players) would get around to be able to change their racials in-game.

If this is a Blackrock exclusive feature then I think it would make more sense to just re enable cross-faction BGs on Blackrock again.
Blackrock players could fill up the remaining BG slots depending on if more horde or alliance players are needed.
Their appearance could also be changed depending on the faction they are fighting for.

This way the other Wotlk realms could remain blizzlike in terms of BGs while Blackrock players could get their demanded cross-faction features back. That obviously should also apply to soloq.

As a blackrock player I'd take anything that gives horde a purpose there again, so I'd definitely be up for this change, even if it requires some further twisting because of race-racial not matching being irritating as player
