Fuck if I know. I'm just holding the team for someone who probably forgot I'm holding it.

I don't participate in this thing you guys call 'PVP'.

Dunno what's the situation on your server, but on those like mine, there's not much flourishing in non controlled pvp when one side has over three times more people than the other.

nobody cares or ever cared about nagrand. what the hell do you even get if you control it? it's so worthless i don't even remember.

So throw in a worthwhile reward and watch the servers with a 1:3 bitch nonstop because they can't get it.

Which wouldn't be a problem if Blizzard had just put the effort in to balance population in the first place instead of constantly covering it up with bandaid fixes.

What sort of effort would fix population imbalances? I'm sure you've got a foolproof system in mind?

Never said it was unfair; not sure why you'd make that assumption. I simply recognize I'm not going to get it, accept it, and move on assuming it's not possible. I'd rather stay guilded with the friends I've known for years than guild hop for some pointless achievements.

I see them both as utility. Cars fulfill the need for personal transportation; games fulfill killing some free time having fun. In both cases you'd want to get the most out of them as possible and since you can quantify both, there is going to be a best (for you) in both categories.

Someone who collects cars would be compared to someone who collects games, which is irrelevant in context of playing them. Same with working on cars, that would be compared to a programmer. Someone who races cars might make for a good comparison but then I ask: why would you need 2? Between any 2 possible cars, one is going to be faster, so why not always use that one? Why would you want to race a slower car?

Dumbass. Cars make modern life possible, games do not. They aren't even related. Don't mention cars again unless it's being fucked by a dragon.

fix pre-existing issues that caused the imbalance in the first place, add incentives for new players to play the underdog, add incentives for players who are on the OP team to swap sides. I could go on for hours about how this could be achieved but I'm sure you can use your imagination. XP bonuses, transfers, gold bonuses, all sorts of funky stuff.

If you compare rogues to the Chevy Tahoe you begin to understand the idiosyncrasies of their design when compared to.... wait no, Rusty Makata is just god damn retarded. I can't believe people are still trying to argue that cars are not analogous to MMOs.

Sometimes when riding past lowbies on my epic mount I /say at them, "beep beep i'm a jeep." I think that counts for something.

The only thing that would cause me to switch is if I got to keep all my characteres the same level, keep all my achievements, and all of my guild was swapped as well. That's going to be a pretty easy task for the WoW database to handle on a constant basis as sides are always going to stay unbalanced.

No XP bonuses are going to work. I don't want to level up anymore guys and I'm pretty much out of character slots anyway. Gold bonuses are worthless because I have tons of gold and it's easy enough to transfer it across factions if that was my problem.
