A "warning" regarding server population

[Yermak]

Lvl 51, I quit playing, problem solved. If I wanted to play Lineage, I would have done it. Will come to see in couple of months, if you open pve server with transfer from here, cuz I'm still buttmad of a month wasted, though my ass was tempered by A/H disbalance on the Feenix. But at least I once reached 60 there, so I probably was much injust towards it.
But it's amusing how the server is destroyed by it's own population, Blizzard seems to be not so stupid after all.
After alliance disappears, the horde population will also start to decrease. Why? Oh, the irony, people will search for a balanced pvp server to...pvp.

Keep telling yourself that you were just first that left sinking ship and ignore the truth that you are just a crybaby that cant even handle online video games multiplayer pvp. All you guys wrote was happening 10yrs ago, every server had horde/ally imbalance, some as bad as 90/10

Keep telling yourself that while you run around Un'goro in your 20-man pussy ganksquad farming level 51s, I'll be here to tell you to stfu and roll Alliance when you bitch about there being no one left to gank, wpvp is dead, BG queues nonexistent, etc etc etc.

The server is losing people left and right over issues and you solution is to go play somewhere else and "cry" about it? I am all for world PvP it's what make the journey to 60 interesting and heart racing. It's harassment and briefing having these huge bank squads roaming around camping purple 30 levels below them just because they can because they have more players.

We can always go to another server and "cry" or many will simply quit the game. When you have no Alliance left what will you do? Maybe then you'll be forced to go "cry" on another server about how dead it is here.

P.S. In vanilla retail Alliance dominated Horde in numbers and they never did this.

I really don't understand the vitriol towards alliance. This is a PvP server, yes, it's true, and a little faction rivalry is both fun and engaging, but like... c'mon, guys.

This isn't a Blizzard server; it's a private server, and while it's popular, the influx of new blood has its limits. Eventually, the flow of people leaving will be faster than the flow of people joining. And then what happens? Less players overall, less things to do, interest degrades, the server begins to peter out. All of our hard work goes down the drain for nothing.

I'm not opposed to ganking or PvP in the open world; it's something that should be encouraged. Griefing people constantly is not, but even that could be argued against. But, beyond that, we're all one community. :/ Trying to troll people to get them off the server doesn't do any good, it does nothing but harm in the long run.

A little faction rivalry is good, but the sheer level of hatred being spewed from both sides is a bit much.

Have been here for 1 1/2 weeks, was already painful to get 50+ now I am 55 and can't go anywhere, winterspring constantly camped, ungoro is, wpl lol don't get me started on that and it seems now even theramore ships are too can't even go other continent anymore without dieing 5 times at least. I play this game for 10years and I never experienced this much camping, it's ridicolous. There is already a low amount of quests on this patch, but having to walk through half of ungoro 8times to just turn in a few quests, world pvp yeah right. I got it, maybe I should roll horde and probably be 60 faster than I am from 55-60 on alliance.

I was able to hit 53 on my ally lock with little problem, STV/South Shore/Arathi were a little rough but not undoable. However once I hit 50 my goal became not to level but just to land at a flight path without getting murdered, I spent 5 days playing 3-5 hours a day I went from level 53 to 1/2 way through level 53 in those 5 days. I reported every group in /world (who on alliance side only really cares about Matt trolling) and not once did anyone respond with anything but negativity. Now I understand what I signed up for when I rolled my toon, I have always played on PvP servers retail and private but the disconnect for me lies in the alliance community I have never seen faction aggression go so unchecked.
So I rerolled Horde, and have since hit 60 and make it my soul purpose to make the alliance leveling process hell. I don't care about BG's so q times couldn't bother me less, I want every single one of my alliance brothers to roll horde... and until they do its gank city.

So, to sum up the "criticism" of the views shared in the original post and some good followups regarding the soon-to-be consequences of excessive camping done by geared lvl 60 hordes, i will make a small list;

We start off with this one;

"Stop crying, it's a PVP server - but let me whine all i want about bg ques. Sincerely, horde."

When confronted, this will be the elaboration;

"I gank lvl 51's because alliance wont que BGs, and i am to much of a spastic to realize that the more 51s i camp the fewer allies get to 60 and fewer allies will que BGs. So either i have downs or i actually enjoy farming lvl 51's who offer no resistance, more than i enjoy lvl 60 pvp. Either way i am retarded. Sincerely, horde."

A solution suggested by the aforementioned hordes often look like this;

"Group up with other guys questing in the zone and kill the hordes - even though this topic is focused on the problem of horde groups of 60s in pvp gear ganking in +50 zones, and not just random STV ganking. Nothing like a questing/piss-geared 51 hunter, 52 druid and 54 warrior with only half hes spells bought, to fight rank7+ geared groups of 60s. This is a good solution. Yeah. Yeah. Sincerely, horde."

People here aren't asking for the stop of ganking, camping and a little griefing here and there. But when so many people feel they hit a brickwall at lvl 50+ and simple stop lvling to do other shit or reroll horde, we gonna have ourselves a problem in the future. All the "Cry less" messages are gonna end up looking pretty fucking stupid if the server one day sits at 70/30 ratio and alliance already have a tendency to be less pvp active. GL with those BG ques, and GL ganking 50+ zones when nobody is gonna be lvling there.

The original post is not about STV ganking or random ganking. This happens on both sides. As an example a chunk of allies grouped up last night and ganked the hell out of STV. Is it about organized ganking groups roaming later stage lvling zones to farm HKs, and the potential consequences for this server, which we all care about since we invest time on this matter.

Note; I added some fancy homoerotic color scheme to parts of the text, so even people with terrible reading comprehension and attention deficit like OGtucker can get an idea of what is actually written. I don't have my hopes up though.

I agree with op, yesterday at marshall's refuge i got killed 3 times by level 60's.
Today at sorrow hill i got killed 7 times in 10 minutes by level 60 players.
It's really hard for the 48-58 players atm to quest or grind at all

If you queers spent as much time crying about being ganked as you did playing the game there wouldn't be a problem
