WoW: Forever fans say Horde is destroying PvP, beg Blizzard to address the MMO’s “faction imbalance”
Players in World of Warcraft: Forever say its PvP realm is badly imbalanced in favour of the Horde, making play difficult for Alliance characters. The complaints challenge Blizzard’s promise of a faction-balanced server and raise concerns that Alliance players will leave, worsening the imbalance.
One Reddit user claimed the Horde outnumbered the Alliance by 50%, describing questing as nearly impossible because of repeated attacks. Other players have urged Blizzard to keep restrictions on Horde character creation in place, warning that lifting them could drive more Alliance players away. The article says Blizzard may need to address the issue, but reports no announced fix.
In short
- Players say Horde numbers dominate the PvP realm.
- An Alliance player claimed the Horde had a 50% lead.
- Players want Blizzard to maintain Horde character restrictions.
