Ok, so it's not open world, but how fun or fair is it to fight on unmatched teams? Yeah, it might be great for the winning team, until it gets boring.

Ever play TF2? The sides on all these games are balanced, for the most part. Would it be fun to watch a Football game with 11 on one team and 6 on the other?

It's a game, not real warfare.

Implementing a "world zone" for PvP... to open up a PvE raid... then putting exact player matching limits on it...

Yeah that makes a lot of sense.

Wintergrasp was a terrible idea from the beginning and has only gotten worse. Just remove the stupid PvP battle thing and leave the raid zone in a normal state like any other.

The sad part is they are doing something again in Cata which will fail in exactly the same ways.

You can't have "OPEN WORLD PVP" and "PERFECTLY BALANCED SIDES" in the same feature. How Blizzard doesn't understand this by now defies all reason.

With tenacity, they don't need 'perfectly' balanced sides. Just close.

Ideology is not reality.
To make good policy, one must consider all ideologies and decide which best solves the reality of the situation. Ideology is afterall, JUST AN IDEA.

Close? Not even remotely, it has made zero difference on my server we always have and still do loose to the Horde 95% of the time.


They need to balance servers not WG; cap creation of new toons for the over populated faction side, forced migration off servers of overly the populated faction to servers over populated by the other faction etc... The way it is now anyone interested in doing PVP will make toons on the overpopulated side for easier wins and that mentality has lopsided population growth cascading out of control.
