However, there's still a pretty major gap between a 3:1 advantage and some of the more skewed realms. Illidan's 15:1 ratio or Mal'Ganis' 20:1 ratio (both Horde-favored; for Alliance there's Stormrage with a 12:1 ratio) are just absurd.<br /><br />That said, I also recognize that the actual ratios of players are probably a lot closer than the ratio of characters. I get the feeling that Horde players on Illidan and Mal'Ganis (both PvP realms) can roll alts with impunity whereas Alliance players on those realms probably aren't so enthused about the prospect.<br /><br />Besides, given all the complaints made to Blizzard about how Mists of Pandaria's "go out into the world" philosophy has undesirably caused PvP to happen on PvP realms (/boggle), and how Cross-Realm Zones have taken away the "advantage" of low population realms (no competition for rare spawns), I don't think Blizzard will find the ganking argument too compelling.Gryphonhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412268940249897154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456801721606316329.post-28443486410783761292013-08-07T12:59:13.244-07:002013-08-07T12:59:13.244-07:00I bet if they do use Connected Realms to address p...I bet if they do use Connected Realms to address population imbalance, they'll see a lot of people complaining about how they liked outnumbering the other faction 3 to 1 because it let them gank without being ganked back.Infamy.Deferredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16231620252492064087noreply@blogger.com
