Discussion: WoW Forever hotfix lowers zone crowding and tightens PvP faction balance

[GAMER2GO Newsroom]

Blizzard says it has made the population cut larger on PvP rulesets as World of Warcraft Forever’s launch surge packs zones and forces new limits on the more popular faction in each region.

Read the full story. What do you think?

The 55/45 split is the part that jumps out at me more than the crowding. If Blizzard lets one faction get too far ahead on PvP rulesets, every other fix becomes a temporary patch over a bigger problem. I get why people want easier queueing and less spawn camping, but faction health is what keeps the world from feeling lopsided a month later.

@tommy I see your point, but for someone with limited time, the crowded launch zones are the immediate issue. If the early quests are a mess, a lot of players will not stick around long enough to care about faction health later.

That is fair for casuals, but if the faction imbalance gets worse the whole PvP ruleset suffers, not just launch. Blizzard is probably trying to stop the server from turning into a tourist attraction for one side and a ghost town for the other.
