1 week lockout timer on xrealm

Hi,

Simple one this, make the lockout timer for switching sides. Simple fix to all the xrealming that goes on right now and is destroying the game. Either you want to play order or destruction. If you just want easy wins go play another game.

No.
Good players look for aao and switch to the weaker side in order to take advantage of aao and not have trouble finding opponents, and such a change would interfere with that.
The fact that noobs switch to the currently dominant side is their business.

And yet xrealming is a huge issue that often results in 1 side completely dominating, and doing it more and more as time goes on till they finally log off for the night.

A one-week lockout won’t fix the population imbalance at all. I’m not saying cross-realming isn’t an issue sometimes, but a lot of pug players don’t realize how much organized guilds actually try to help balance things.
Instead of punishing players with lockouts, the system should focus more on rewarding good behavior. For example, a token or loyalty system that gives small rewards for logging in on the same faction for consecutive days could encourage stability without feeling restrictive.

NOPE! everyone would just make another account and break tos.

For example you can judge pedofile if you catch him, but unless he is not detained, he will do dirty things.

Same with xRealmers - they will always find a way to do, well you know what......

Xrealming is not an existing issue, lousy players just blame them losing on xrealmers, ghosts and the boogeyman. Anything but to admit they need to work more on their own gameplay.

The issue is people giving up and not wanting to put effort into playing the game as it is intended, and after a few wipes they log out or start the blame-game in T4 chat. That's how that AAO shift constantly happens. Too many AFK and Box running warbands zerging when things are easy - not enough warbands putting in work when things are challenging.

Wanna solve this problem? Work on your gameplay, join GOOD Guilds and Warbands, not the ones that keep coming up with these excuses, and the "xrealming" problem will magically disappear.

Alternatively, sure put in a week lockout timer for sides, see how that goes for you. I can predict - we will choose a side, and the other side will get stomped for a whole week.
