Please do not remove crossfaction BGs until we have an enormous population

Post#1 » Sat Aug 01, 2026 1:18 am

Splitting the PVP/PVE server already worsened the queues. Severely cutting the XP further worsened the queues. Right now, queues are very rare as is past anything but prime time EU, and even then. No more crossfaction would basically be a death sentence.

Please do all you can to make BG brackets foster and grow and hold off the changes that push queues in the other direction for when we have a massively increased population. Thanks.

I agree with you for 100%. I'm not a big fan of cross-faction battlegrounds, but let's be honest, separating the Horde and the Alliance will lead to longer queues. That's obvious.

I think this will actually help with your Q's.
There are A LOT of people on the PvP server Horde that want BG's to pop, but cant, because there is no alliance that want to Q for some reason.
On the PvE server over 60% of the server is Alliance. So i suppose most that Q are with alliance. And you are waiting on Hordes to Q.
If that is the case, it will actually even and balance it out creating faster Q's

On the PVP Server it seems the ALliance refuses to Queue whenever they aren't in a premade or whenever they lose.

The obvious counter to this is allowing crossfaction queue and letting the Horde PVP each other if that's the game the Alliance wants to play.

Also please get the cross realm queues here faster, it's atrocious to wait 1 hour for queue pop, it just screams 'DEAD SERVER'.

There's no xfaction AV, and there are always 30+ ppl playing. So there's no problem with the number of ppl and xfaction battlegrounds aren't needed on PVE server.

Better make xserver BGs.

It's good PVP enjoyers should play strictly with PVP enjoyers leave Casul realm alone. :D After all they specifically didn't wanted to join casul realm for that exact reason.

It's not good, because the admins sabotaged the PVP server by releasing it 1 month late. This killed it on the spot and has been killing it with every player who sees PVP peak 400 and PVE peak 2000 and joins PvE instead.

So now they need to fix that shit.

I’m against cross-faction BGs! It kills the spirit of the classic game!

there are zero premades on alliance. 90% lose rate causes alliance to stop queueing after 3+ consecutive losses. no point in being honor pinata for horde to continue to gain massive gear disparity.

shaman needs nerf mainly as well as feral druids. a racial swap addition would alleviate the pvp imbalance caused by horde racials. then reassess pvp after a few weeks.

also making the pvp server NOT a true pvp ruleset but rather perma-warmode, means new players join then leave after being lvl 10 and getting ganked in a capital city, or in Elwynn etc. massive undersight with this.
