im not online frequently on northrend anymore, so can only speak for azeroth.
high bounty is a pestilence there. at least 9 out of 10 games are -hb, even when they want "pros" according to the game title. its the new standard there, so people who make suggestions, think stuff is unbalanced or something needs to be changed in general more and more accord to -hb mode. this a) splits up the community to a certain degree and b) makes balancing in a way people generally like much harder in my opinion.
a possible way to fix that is:
1) implement a comment into the "high bounty mode enabled"- comment that explicitly tells that the game is balanced for normal mode, and balance suffers from -hb.
2) make -hb really hb. dont just double it, make it x4 or something. it would still be a funmode and gives shorter games to certain degree, but then people who just play casually would notice it is different, and balance is made for the normal mode.
