9 BGs in a row just closed because of lack of ally

The thing is, who would pay for it now when you can just vote for "Race / Faction Change Token".

[Infusion]

Yes I know that you can get it from VPs, but that's another subject. And we all know that everyone would seek the fastest & easier way instead of waiting 17 days to get your faction change token. My point was controlling the faction transfers in a way to profit both of the server and player-base, which includes queue times, guilds etc.. It's always better to do something than keep on whining like half of the server does when it comes to queues waiting-time. If this method profits both sides, why shouldn't it get implemented?

Many RIP members are into business and economic professions, so we offered a project to the server administration which gives more donation incomes for the server and automatically balances the faction sides. (Wasn't answered yet so sharing it here). It's a lot more detailed than the following description, however any economist will understand it, it's the standard base of the real life Market:

- Each X period of time (Could be a week, or a month), the number of faction changes is calculated.
- Based on this calculation, the next period of time would have another cost for the faction change (The cost varies from 3$ to 10$).

Take this as an example:
MONTH 1:
Horde to Alliance donation cost: 5$.
Alliance to Horde donation cost: 5$.

-- 36 Hordes donated for a faction change, moved to Alliance. (36 Hordes >> Alliance - High demand on Horde to Alliance transfer)
-- 5 Alliance donated for a faction change, moved to Horde. (5 Alliance >> Horde - Low demand on Alliance to Horde transfer)

MONTH 2:
Horde to Alliance donation cost: 8$ (since many are demanding this service, and it costs the server to get unbalanced faction sides).
Alliance to Horde donation cost: 3$ (since the demand of this server is low, and it helps the server to regain balanced faction sides).

-- Less Hordes would move to the Alliance side, since the service cost got higher and therefore the demand will get lower.
-- More Alliance players will get motivated to go to the Horde side since it's really cheap.

Conclusion: Less faction changes towards the overwhelming faction. More faction changes towards the lower populated faction.
Results: Automatic and willing-full faction balance. More donation incomes. More faction restrictions.

(The project sent was more detailed, but this is a sum-up).

Ouh, wait , and do you think 3-4$ difference between transfers will motivate ppl to remain at alliance and will motivate horde to swap to alliance, oh there nothing about motiaving horde to transfer to alliance.

This principle is good but not when costs is like 3-10$, so diference is few bucks between months.

Because players aren't willing to weekly/monthly switch between faction. Hen will neither touch prices nor answer your proposition. Nice to see you want to be involved in SF by any way but your idea is useless, not wrong or stupid but totally useless here.

If only there had been a thing that could've been done ages ago that would effectively remove this problem completely....... oh.. wait..

Option 1
Disable the creation of horde chars for some time and disable faction change

Option 2
Get those cross faction bgs finally

Option 3
Just do something! Whatever! Just balance it please.

Option 2 will help but our great Henhouse is against it.

started 1,5 weeks ago on this server and there was a char telling me please play alliance.
so i did that cause i it was obvious that there must be a over population on horde side.
the old days i started with wow there was a prejudice, alliance has too many kids while horde is more mature.
i hope you guys agree, on this server thats not the case. its as always, dosent matter if you play horde or alliance. good people are everywhere, bads too.
i think most people join horde atm for the reason they think they ll win every bg to farm up gear fast.
time will fix this in my opinion. and if some horde healers join alliance, let me know, warriors love healers ;P

lets wait here, even though i create horde chars too, i ll mainly play alliance atm cause it simply dosent matter.

Cya only guys
