Here are some Highlights on the interview:

- World of Warcraft maintains an even faction balance.

- Overall win rates in battlegrounds are "shockingly even".

- The Alliance wins more Isle of Conquest & Alterac Valley games, everything else skews mildly to the Horde, with a win rate of 46-54%.

- Blizzard is looking to incentivize War Mode more in Patch 8.1, by adding increased rewards for the less-represented faction in War Mode (Alliance).

- Ion suspects many Alliance players had a rough start with War Mode and opted out.

- Players who join large raid groups to kill the weekly world boss all abruptly appear on the same shard, causing an imbalance that the game's systems try to balance by bringing in an equivalent number of players of the opposing faction. If a raid group disbands, players pop back into their own realms and the compensating characters notice a sudden influx of enemies with enabled War Mode.

- Blizzard has been closely monitoring high-end participation in raids and other activities and found out that most high-end players gravitate toward the Horde, so they decided to nerf two racials: Arcane Torrent Arcane Torrent & Berserking Berserking in Patch 8.1.

Arcane Torrent Arcane Torrent - Cooldown increased to 2 minutes (up from 1.5 minutes).

Berserking Berserking will increase Haste by 10% (down from 15%) for 12 seconds (up from 10 seconds).

- The company's working on passive enticements for high-end players and guilds to change factions.

- The Horde Hall of Fame was filled up on October 14, the Alliance side had 100 guilds who defeated G'huun on November 5.

- Alliance is "potentially a little bit" more likely to include more casuals according to Ion.

- The team is keeping an eye on class and specialization appearance rates in PvP combat.
