Send them back

Ok, it was a nice experiment that didn't work. Return the alliance players that faction changed to horde back to alliance and refund their money. Discontinue the service.

30 minute battleground queue says thanks.

It seems your angst towards the Faction Transfer system is somewhat misplaced.

Long queue times are more accurately attributed to having simply too much in the way of choice for battlegrounds as a whole. This is an issue that we are going to be addressing in our upcoming content patch. Much like we have the random dungeon finder, we are adding in a random battleground option. We will also give this tool similar incentives, as that of it's counter part in PvE. We believe that this will help focus the population into a single pool of play instead of having players spread out across multiple queues. That's not it though. We have even more cool things coming for the BG system, Including new daily quests with better rewards and increased honor accumulation.

With all of those factors combined, we hope that will draw many players back in to the battlegrounds, which will bring queue times down for all of those involved.

Q u o t e:


A good way of countering the PvE, would be adding pvp weapons that more than a tiny percent of the player base doing pvp players can obtain. They don't have to be as good as the arena weapons. But, ******something****** would be helpful.

This is something that we are loathe to add in. Just as you cannot purchase a main weapon from a badge vendor, neither can you purchase one from an honor merchant. This is a situation where rated battlegrounds will be very helpful for players who aren't interested in Arena play. Unfortunately, there isn't an immediate purely PvP solution forthcoming. However, we have made weapons fairly available to players through the addition of the 5-person Ice Crown Citadel instances.

Q u o t e:

doesn't this give casters an advantage? they do not depend on weapons.

Casters need weapons in order to be more effective. If a caster is "weaponless" in a battleground, she/he is at a severe disadvantage.

Hmm, I suspect that you, sir, may be trolling.
