transfer west

So, the OP was saying that he needed horde twinks in east to queue up, and your solution is for him to transfer west where you have already stated it's completely one-sided and you are begging horde to transfer to you?
Transfer west isn't a solution to every problem.

Open your brain and see the bigger picture.
It is the solution to every problem except getting tidal and agm. All of us oceanic players had to transfer or reroll US when pops started slowing down so much. It's not one sided, it's completely for the community. It's a plain fact that West has more twinks and east isn't getting as many pops or competition.

It's plain fact, is it? Would you care to share those statistics and your source? Otherwise, it sounds like you are using anecdotal information to formulate what you consider to be facts.
East is actually in good shape right now. Plenty of games, twinks on both sides, and a very decent competitive balance. I'm not sure where you are getting your information from.

Ok, here's a few in forum quotes I'm hearing from people with experience on East. If you care to join the 39's discord, you will also hear much of the same

I get you might not want to pay the money, or leave your home server for personal reasons, but at the end of the day we're here to pvp and to pvp you need pops. are you saying there's the same amount of pops before the region split? a lot of people have felt this as an issue, not sure why you can't gauge it

It was my understanding based on the 39 discord that the east was doing well and competitive. My experience on West is about an equal part of twinks on both faction. Horde is just a hodge podge of scattered twinks that tends to dominate pug vs pug matches. Then rofl stomped against the daily Whitemane premade.

This thread was because my team and I were waiting over 40 mins for a queue after we made the little amount of twinks we faced horde side afk and quit queuing. There was only 1 Wsg up, and we were getting tired of waiting. East is dead, barely any competition at all in my opinion.

The part about the east is true. But of course, we also haven't tried to make a mega-guild and queue up with 8-10 people and then complain there is no competition... so there is that.
So that I am clear.... you started this thread because you had a long WSG queue, off peak hours, on the first AB weekend after it launched, while people are grinding AB rep for gear still, and then conclude that east is dead? You and Cheesetoast been sharing facts?

What is your toon? No competition, do you even play AB?
I've had <5 min queues for AB most of the weekend. East is doing fine.

it's your call not to transfer or reroll west. maybe eastern pops are better atm because of ab weekend. hope for your sake it stays that way and that somehow all the people i've heard talk of tough queues are somehow getting their facts wrong or downplaying their own region. all the best with your games, west will always welcome more community for the sake of competition. you will be missed

The current plan is to make another twink and transfer them over to West at some point. The tough part is deciding Shaman or Warrior...

Eastern pops have been fine on alliance side all week in my experience for many hours per day. Horde side had experienced long queue times earlier in the week from what I saw as faction imbalance.
In my view, there’s several reasons for the forum posts you see. 1) You are selective in the posts you see and pick as evidence for dead east queues. Myself, soge, and neglected claimed otherwise. 2) People like Yahdude were queuing horde. 3) People were queuing outside of primetime or for one BG (as with AB weekend especially).
It seems true that east is not as active and definitely doesn’t have as many twinks as west, but that doesn’t mean we will automatically transfer.
I think it’s great that you are pushing for one community for 39s and I hope this bracket lives for a long time because it’s an awesome bracket. I please ask you to respect others. It comes off as rude (I am aware you are facing rudeness in response too, and I’m sorry about that) to tell us to “open our brains” or “everyone smart is transferring west regardless of faction” if some of us are not agreeing to transfer.

I already have all the gear for both, just going to duo level them together so I can play either :]
