/facepalm. Ok, thanks.

A JD does not make you a lawyer. It just means I have a JD....which I've offered in a very self deprecating manner. I'm dismissing skill level simply because I have no way to quantify it, as I've said multiple times, so Im focusing on the things I actually CAN quantify. If you arent interest...

I'm not a lawyer. For clarity, what is it exactly that you are saying I'm wrong about? The only really declarative judgement Ive made is that there are likely reasons other than "Alliance Sucks". Is your argument that this is the only reason?

I've been tracking group comps in/for a different topic, but they are probably more relevant here at this point. Through 50 games I've tracked over the last week and a half or so... Average group comp per game: Alliance: Priest: 1.08 Rogue 1.722 Paladin: 1.305 Warrior: 1.55 Druid: 1.305 Mage...

I really dont get why you are so butt hurt over my posts. We arent even necessarily disagreeing, we are just making different assumptions. The only difference is I'm looking at some data, which is actually changing my initial assumptions. This is how conversations work. It's possible you...

The players are not the most obvious or likely. It's simply one of many possibilities, and I'm either proving or disproving one of them. These numbers neither support nor disprove what you are saying. They only speak to two things: average group composition, and winning percentages. Those...

So far, the only thing I'm really learning here is that players for both horde and alliance make similar choices when choosing classes. The most represented class on both sides is rogue, the least represented on both is Warlock. This at least somewhat reinforces my theory that on a macro...

so in the event any of ya'll are interested in my nerdgasms... Halfway through, so 50 games, breaks down thusly: Average group comp per game: Alliance: Priest: 1.08 Rogue 1.722 Paladin: 1.305 Warrior: 1.55 Druid: 1.305 Mage: .944 Hunter: 1.638 Warlock 0.75 Horde: Priest: 1.02 Rogue: 2.472...

I'll save a deathray for ya =D

It varies. On days I have a lot of conference calls/webinars to do, I'll be on a good bit during the day ... but other than that most evenings off & on. I dont generally pay much attention to whether or not I've drawn a game against a 4+ group queuing together. The only time I ever really...

I dont think it really says anything at all about the "horde mentality" theory, It neither proves nor disproves it. In my experience (entirely anecdotal), what you are saying is both true and untrue. Horde DOES seem to *keep playing* after falling behind, but full disclosure this has only...

So I'm on around game 35 or so. Most of the stats on comps are evening out a bit. The main thing that stands out is that, on average, horde has twice as many rogues per game...and ally has twice as many druids. Winning percentage is still right around 70/30 Horde, and Alliance either wins or...

No, I cant see your games (unless I'm in one of them). But you can keep your own stats that I will read =D Yeah, way more useful/interesting. The other guy just said something like "alliance has always been bad", so the broader statistics were all I could find to see if that was correct or...

Have you actually read all of my posts in this thread? Probably not, but I dont blame you as they were basically wall of text nerdgasms (I think I even said as much). My first post in this thread was literally nothing except relating my experience in wow. My subsequent posts were applying...

You are really good at arguing based on...absolutely no information whatsoever. And by really good, I mean basically terrible at arguing.

My rogue is down to: If I dont have it already, I'm not going to have it. My main is, at this point, only funding the costs of consumables...which is considerable -p

They have not always been worse in that, at least not significantly. There used to be a website where you could see a breakdown of wins and losses on all servers, in all battlegroups, across specific bgs and all BGs combined. This is about as close as you can come to quantifying the historic...

That's exactly correct: I am, and you are. The differences between the factions are quantifiable, the differences in the players's skill by faction are not. I do not see...never have seen in 15 years of wow...an appreciable difference in median skill level between the factions; and any...

While this may be true on a micro level, it's not true at scale. There are really only 2 quantifiable differences between the realms The first is population imbalance. With respect to BGs rather than open world PVP, this has an indirect effect: mainly, its just easier to gear in a realm...

I have no earthly idea why this has caused a spreadsheet obsession for me, and I'm probably just talking to myself in this post. That said, after tracking 20 games: Average Group Comp Per realm: Allies Horde Priest: 1.21...
