It is disappointing that SoO is easier than ToT. :|
Try the 2nd boss (Spoils of Panderia) of the third wing of SoO and then tell me how much easier it is. Hard as all hell.

My group is 6/14 Heroic. We waltz right through normal SoO and slammed 6 heroic bosses in 1 week.
In ToT it literally took 1-2 weeks to kill a new boss for how tightly tuned some mechanics were.
I guess its easy when you are on a heavily used server. I'm on Draenor and we haven't found any tanks/healers that are good enough to do squat. I am starting to hate Blizzard. I've noticed doing Cross Realm raiding that some servers have literally hundreds of people at the Shrine of Two Moons. On my server, it is busy if there are 5!! There are times when I am like the ONLY one there.
Switch servers to Draenor and then tell me how easy it is.

What does everyone use now for server population data? i'd like to see more ppl myself...

Look at the server list, it will have population included. The population listed however is based on criteria.
A unique level 90 that has killed a t15 normal boss (at level 90) or is in a guild who has killed something in tier 15 normal and is level 90.
Highest population:
Illidan - 18477; 18473 horde, 4 alliance
Stormrage - 17983; 87 horde, 17896 alliance
Area 52 - 16191; 16106 horde, 85 alliance
#4 in population is Mal'Ganis - 13,814; 13802 horde, 12 alliance
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Draenor - 2667; 821 horde, 1846 alliance (And is actually in the upper middle for population amount) (aka top 35%)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
lowest population:
Haomarush - 181; N/A
Coilfang - 305; N/A
Gurubashi - 45; N/A
Warsong - 123; N/A

that's nuts! Are those actually the results? Why are those servers so heavily polarized?! i'm on Wildhammer, i'm guessing it's around Draenor, maybe a little higher. And those low pop servers need to be combined, at least. Man.
That illidan stat is what got me to transfer my entire pool of 90's off alliance side when they had the 50% sale.
thanks for the numbers! interesting...1000 isn't bad with the filter you have on. Considering I don't think I've killed a T15 other than 1 LFR so I probably don't count.
There has to be some significance to the servers being so split between factions. Interesting human experiment
As much as people "love world pvp" they say on World of Warcraft, it isn't actually true. People LOVE world PvP when they can get involved and are not wanting to do X quest or Y profession. The minute they get dragged in when they are doing other things and do not want to world PvP, they hate it.

http://www.realmpop.com seems to be another one with good sortable stats, but I'm not sure how accurate it is in comparison or how they come upon their numbers.
The total characters filtered by level range seems to only work when you've clicked within a realm. That said, 53k 90s on Illidan vs. your 18k number on Illidan. *shrug.
Ok Diesbutz,
Lemme put it another way.... how much would you (or your group) charge (in real money, not gold) to CARRY me through all of the gold challenge dungeons and SoO heroic raids. Dead serious.
Edit: If it is legal of course. I am not aware if it is legal or not to pay someone to carry you in Wow for the hard stuff.

I think the people who were vocal about their love for wPvP were mostly thinking about the times when you would get massive impromptu mobs in Hillsbrad or Crossroads, slugging it out. The hapless victim type of wPvP was a annoying at times, but it was usually really easy to get away from.
When they added a meaningful reason for holding the pvp zones in WotLK and Cata it was a major kick in the nuts to people on lop sided servers too. Wintergrasp battles were probably one of my favorite things ever, but half way through lich king 2 major alliance guilds left the server and the population tanked. It wasn't uncommon to see people post on the realm forums saying "goodbye, I'm leaving for a server where the ally can win WG."
I really hope that the work that they are doing with connected servers makes a difference, but I don't see it being a complete solution. I think the only way around it is to shutter the empty servers, but I doubt they ever will.

What I would really love is a high pop server with equal A:H. Seeing opposing factions in the real world with friends on both sides has to keep things interesting. I've only been on H-heavy servers between the two I was on. When I was alliance, it sucked. When I was horde, it was just boring when 4 horde jump 1 ally.
I have been playing on Emerald Dream for a long time, it's always had lively world PvP with fairly balanced numbers. It's nice for the occasional fight be it small or large scale stuff, though it's been a while since I did that kind of thing. These days I just log on to raid and do minimal amounts of dailies. It's about 1:.7 horde:alliance so a bit heavy to one side.http://www.realmpop.com seems to be another one with good sortable stats, but I'm not sure how accurate it is in comparison or how they come upon their numbers.
