Like you, I'm on a horde-dominated server...unlike you, I'm on the ALLIANCE side of it.<br /><br />Correct me if I'm wrong, but last I had heard TB wasn't matched 1v1 if there were less than 25 people on one side. Sometimes, there are way less than 25 alliance, and we end up outnumbered by horde, which makes it particuarly hard when we're attacking.<br /><br />Seeing that I still need rep/gear/commendations from there, it wasn't very fair from the start to have horde controlling it 95% of the time so I could never do dailies. It was just like Wintergrasp all over again...rarely did we ever have access to VoA.Rivellananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232240169123589462.post-75666556671151009902011-01-04T06:20:12.288-06:002011-01-04T06:20:12.288-06:00In my server, we have sort of an agreement.

As such, we won Wintergrasp more often than the Horde did in WotLK (I think it was something like 70% Alliance wins). While the Horde understandably wasn't fond of this, they did at least get to earn the same amount of rewards we did for the battle itself, and they won often enough to give them reasonable, if not desirable, access to VoA.<br /><br />Fast forward to Cataclysm, and the Horde had both expanded due to free character transfers and was determined to not be locked out of TB like they were WG. They won it the first day and held it.<br /><br />The Alliance quickly learned that winning against the defending Horde was barely possible, and people stopped queueing for it altogether, citing it as a waste of time (and I can't blame them; it was).<br /><br />Never (or rarely) winning Tol Barad made those dailies unavailable as well as keeping me out of Baradin Hold, which I was very eager to try.<br /><br />No, win trading is definitely not the solution, but it's more fair than keeping an entire faction completely locked out of content.Ambermistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232240169123589462.post-35673162065238725792011-01-03T15:18:46.305-06:002011-01-03T15:18:46.305-06:00Actually, the faction imbalance isn't that muc...Actually, the faction imbalance isn't that much of a problem due to a bug that lets you get the 1800 honour even if you're not really in the battle.
