World of Warcraft: Forever continues to soar, boasting Blizzard's biggest concurrent player launch in its MMO's history – but it hasn't come without controversy, especially in PvP, where players report a heck of an imbalance.

So, what imbalance would that be? Well, it has to do with the game's two factions – because of course it does.

You've got the Alliance and the Horde, each encompassing unique races (and within them, unique racial abilities that prove more powerful in either PvE or PvP), and they're, as always, at war with one another. You can choose to sit it out altogether by picking a realm that's strictly PvE, or opt for a challenge on the PvP server.

The thing is, said challenge isn't fair so far as the chart between Alliance and Horde players is heavily skewed toward the latter – and because of that, folks with Alliance characters aren't able to do… well, much of anything.

As one fan puts it over on Reddit, "PvP realms are currently unplayable as Alliance." They go on to allege "there's literally 50% more Horde" players, and as a result, it's "an unplayable gankfest for Alliance."

Questing feels "impossible" – and they're not alone in thinking so. Another thread argues that "faction imbalance is going to kill the PvP server," worrying that "if nothing changes, this will only get worse. " They fear "Horde character creation" will end up "permanently locked," too.
