They said they would come up with a way to solve the realm imbalance problem, and they did it! Lots of people in the WAR beta were complaining that Destruction outnumbered Order, making RvR imbalanced. Whenever you logged on, you saw how many people were on the server, and how many of them were Order and Destruction. You could also get the same information any time by using the /count command. In the current preview weekend version of WAR, Mythic found a brilliant way to stop these complaints: The /count command has been removed. You can only see the total server population on the server selection screen, but there is no more way to get any information about how many people are playing Order and how many are playing Destruction. The imbalance simply vanished into the unknown. Well, of course the less numerous side will still get whipped. But Mythic apparently hopes they won't notice. At least they don't have proof that they are outnumbered, so maybe they react less strongly to the fact.
Blizzard is said to be taking a clue from Mythic, and removing the incriminatory evidence from the armory that Warlocks or Rogues are three times as likely to win arena combat than Hunters. Then even WoW arena PvP will be balanced!
