So I guess ill have to go over this again.
Now- What keeps a player play a certain game?
Its the fun for me, the interraction, the design and roleplay aspects of the game and the balance - the thought u have equal chances if u have the skill.
Now, ask yourselves this- Is the game fun for everyone in its current state?
-In my opinion, its not only unfair, unfunny, and unbalanced but its a pure chaos that u try to resolve with "Mercenary Mode".. you guys.. idk what to tell you but lets get with this:
-Atm PvP is unfair - No player of average skill has equal chance vs a player of the same skill that has DONOR items, and coin shop isnt available on Lordaeron - so i guess nobody will start playing here if that person is a PvP lover. Arenas are Shadowmourne every 3th arena.
-Its not fun, literally the game is B O R I N G, most cases you're oneshoted (even tho im full BIS for my realm 5/5 wf and 1,4 cap resiliance) its str8 up terrible for players that dont have access to the gear I wear even , not to mention the gear Icecrowners wear. And believe me - people of Lordaeron dont have access to almost any good gear on average.
-Balance is GONE. As i said earlier for any new commer - gearing in pvp is impossible ,no matter the skill, they will have extra difficult time than everyone else. Also - this gear is not ment to be on everyone specially when you face them vs a realm who has even + difficulty on obtaining that type of gear. Its simply unfair and insulting towards Lordaeron community of respectful and loyal players to your servers.
-Mercenary mode, doesnt fix it-
a)Because the game is all to do with Horde VS Alliance. I picked to play an ELF - so ???I WOULD LIKE TO PLAY AN ELF HELLOOOOO???
b) Players like to feel impactful not carried so they dont care that u do this to "balance out" premades/ faster que (quality over quantity= we dont mind a slow que, we mind going into a bg just to get corpse-camped(yeah they never cap graveyards so they can farm kills like that) during the whole duration of the bg by donors we have no chance against)
c) Alliance have their own communities aswell as Horde. And that should stay that way since its a large aspect of the game if not even what the game is all about.
d) Horde and Alliance have balanced our racials. Putting them together makes a mess.
W H A T I S U G G E S T :
Applying a filter that remembers your max gearscore u have ever had on you.
The filter will also NOT allow people from Lordaeron to que into BGs that have above 6,3~ gearscore for example or simply dont allow players from both realms to que into Lordaeron if they're above 6,3~, it could be 6,4 even just do something about that imbalance, please.
The filter will also work for arenas or AT LEAST arenas. Since players could be carried in BGs but they cannot be carried in arenas- its simply impossible ,not to even mention that boosting is illegal in your server.
Lordaeron wants to stop feeling like a punching bag for donors!
Thats tottaly true specially about mercenary mode.its gonna kill the real aspect of game in pvp.
Real aspect of game in pvp is one faction againts another one.maybe some peeps that dont know what is pvp about agree with this mode but most of us dont like to fight our own faction players or worse,help the faction we dont like to win bg.We joined lordaeron because we accepted it the way it is.the real fun of wow.with changing it over and over players will just start leaving(just like what they are doing already) so keep Lordaeron server of those who want to experience real fun of wow and are loyal to warmane instead of ruining it

Many ppl on Lordaeron and Icecrown share your standpoint. Ppl on Blackrock however don't mind what faction they are fighting for.
Therefore I believe that the solution to the faction imbalance is pretty simple:
Enable cross-faction for Blackrock players. Put Blackrock players on whatever side needs more players for the cross-realm BG. The other wotlk realm can stay as they are while Blackrock players fill up the missing BG slots.
/problem solved
Well. Yes, soon the game will be like any side is w/e. No flavour no identity, no side. Alliance horde w/e. I hope this mercenary thing dont happen as well.
