Blizzards favoritism needs to stop

#0 - Sept. 12, 2009, 1:01 a.m.

The favoritism i speak of is towards allies.
Yes i play a horde character, have for years, but till today i really had enough of it, and i will go into detail.
The thing that put it over the edge for me to post is how they disabled logging out while ranked for wg for horde, and yet have not disabled it for allies, i just finished a wg that lasted about 3 mins. For a example on how fast it went, wg started horde had the fortress, me on a mount 100% speed going to the closest work shop to capture from the alliance, when i got there without stopping, the allies already had 16 seiges and i didnt stop at all.

Other things that you can tell is allie NE rogues are the most dominate out of all rogues, 9 times out of 10 i lose to another rogue cause i cant see him/her, that 1 is because of rogues that are spec'd pve. Its pretty much useless to be a horde rogue because of this. (and yes im spec'd pvp and have the stuff for it)

Another one, AV, look at the layouts, its more difficult for the horde to be in allie section then it is in the horde section, look at all the elites before u get to van, look at the elites near the dun bunkers, and it dont matter if your 80 or not or how far you are away, you agro them.
The allie bunkers are so easy to defend because theres so much room and more npc defenders.
Im sure many horde will say when trying to take back horde towers, its a pain in the butt cause u fall down the stairs or get stuck or come up so fast and get sling shotted of the top and have to try and get back up again. Then when the allies come to drek not one of the horde npcs do anything or agro on anything. Allies have a huge advantage.

I have been a WoW player for a very long time, have always had fun, and at my age you let things go, but sometimes you have to draw the line somewhere.

We don't program favoritism in the game. That would be a very cynical, unsuccessful business move. I'm not going to take you point by point on this argument as it's frankly silly that you would think we'd intentionally institute imbalance between the Horde and Alliance, because somehow the personal preferences of 3,500+ employees all clearly favor one over the other, and that's a better factor for development than considering the play styles and character preferences of more than 11 million subscribers.

Oh, and Zarhym -
Can you explain how the new honor system will work, or point it out to me?
Anyone? :O

There's a lot about it here: http://www.blizzard.com/blizzcon/recaps/systems-panel.xml

If you have anymore questions I suggest creating a new thread.

Uh huh.....

It seems a good deal of WoW players would be classified as "silly" then.

On a side note, TotC drops. Why does the Alliance get an off-hand item that looks like an ever flowing pimp cup, while the Horde version is a stick? In fact, most of the Horde drops look fugly, while the Alliance gear is awesome.

That's perception and taste, not fact. Maybe you should play Alliance. :)
