As designers, could you please consider this: Why are almost all servers controlled by the elves? Why are almost all neutral resources under the control of the elves?

Player base mostly. 

 

Alot of people don't want to play the "evil" races. 

And certain classes like Warlock are just not strong enough. Thus many don't play Legion classes. 

 

Unfortunately but that just how it ends up. World of Warcraft has the same issue with their player base in a large majority of their servers.

This is nothing more than a giant snowball that has been building up and will continue to build up until the game at some point can't hold on any longer.

 

Intentionally or not, developers have been feeding the "the stronger you are, the more benefits you receive" model. This has caused that at the slightest opportunity for one side to gain some advantage over the other, it simply began to grow uncontrollably.

 

To be honest, I was going to prepare a whole message explaining why this happens, but I feel it's better to just open a whole topic about this and explain it in more detail.

 

In short, elves becoming more attractive to players = more players contributing to the elven economy = stronger elves and now the cycle repeats.

Personally, I can say that faction games have always been this way.

 

4Story: Majority on the Valorians; World of Warcraft: Majority in the alliance.

Metin 2: Jinno. So many others, people choose to play where the game apparently appeals.

 

For a new player, the concept is explained very poorly... between sentinels and legion... even the lore doesn't explain it well... I've already written a post on suggestions relating to many points... I recommend you go and look at it... read it calmly and then have your say... because the point is exactly this, but expanded.

 

We should make sure that the succulent beastmaster isn't the first thing a new player sees. For veterans, however... they see elves better than mc and many switch sides due to a monopoly... (I'm speaking for the EU server).
