Careful! First off, I doubt that these "leaked patch notes" are the real thing. So Will of the Forsaken is not on the table. Or highly improbable.

Second, I've heard that 2:1 Alliance vs. Horde argument much too often. I do not think it's true either. And even if it were true it does not make any difference depending on how the active server population is. There may be a 2:1 ratio of registered player characters (more alts on the Alliance side for example) on a particular server. But if the Horde is much more active than the lazy Alliance bastards, then the real ratio could be very much 2:1 for the Horde.

Having said that, balancing a game of this scope is pretty much an impossible task. For the same reasons balancing D2 was pretty much impossible: Too many variables.

Let's assume just for a moment that WOW is purely balanced. You wouldn't see a difference to the current situation because people would need to figure out every counter to every advantage there was. With a purely balanced WOW you would still hear cries for nerfing/buffing certain skills because they were perceived as imbalanced.
