I dabbled in dragonflight a little at release
Fair, I canât remember at release who had the majority population at launch. probably still horde and then it slowly went over to alliance. Just merc if you want though for fast queue times
Edit: see⌠this is why I should read whole threads first. But thatâs just so taxing. Others have stated what Iâm about to. Still gonna keep my wording here though.
Howdy OP,
Just about to read the thread (lots to read, havenât yet).
But unless someone else has mentioned it - the queue times are a symptom of the current state of unrated pvp: Allies have huge queues because thereâs no reason to play horde, really.
And thus, horde has pretty quick queue times but all they do is lose for the most part.
But why?
Answerâs simple - thereâs no real reason to play Horde as a true min-maxxer. And most players cut & reroll ally after a few monthâs (or years, tbh at this point) of losses.
So the problem was a tiny little snowball once upon a time. But itâs reached avalanche levels at this stage.
You want fast queue times? Roll Horde. My queues have been less than 5 minutes at their WORST since I came back for pre-expac. We get in fast, lose like champions, and repeat.
Until Blizzard addresses & gives people tasty reasons to join the losing side, it ainât gonna get any better than those options, Iâm afraid.

No I defiantly mean all randoms and you can tell the population of randoms has dropped a lot sense Dragonflight and sync groups became the norm. Blizzard is an old game with little to no care for pvp players. Sync groups driving players away wonât help that. Randoms is where people start. It should be fun and fair for everyone.

Ill give horde a try then. Thank you!
Iâm doing anywhere from 6-12min ques.
Its fast to gear but the gear gap is EXTREME. Surely people are giving up after 10 or so games.
Iâm basically sitting SS ques waiting for bgs
Since dragonflight? What? Random BGs are popping right now, everyone is playing BGs. Iâve seen more R1/Glad players in the last couple days than the entirety of dragonflight. All the arena/shuffle players are doing BGs right now because they need gear and BGs are the only place to do it. What are you on about lol
No they havenât
Sync groups donât happen in random BGs. Theyâre rampant in epics, but you rarely see them in reg bgs. They exist, but theyâre far and few between. You either arenât playing the game right now and are just making things up or you ARE playing the game right now and making excuses on why you lost.
⌠youâre a strange one. Not even going to waste my time arguing with you. Facts are in your face if you chose to ignore them thatâs on you.

I had to go check if you were theadreu, you sound just like him.
What facts are you talking about? You havenât listed a single fact, youâve just listed unrelated things that have nothing to do with sync queue groups.
Provide any proof that âsync queue groups are running rampantâ
?? what a weird thing to say.
I need to provide proof of something that is openly done?
Just go play randoms. Plus, they openly advertise their groups and donât even try to hide it so idk why you deny it?

Itâs not openly done, not in regular random bgs. So yes, provide proof of this
I play a -lot- more randoms than you do, I promise. I know a lot of premade groups that run and none of them sync queue. I knew one that did back in shadowlands, they stopped. Out of a dozen communities, lots of discords and tons of premade groups I know of zero sync queue groups
For epics yes, there are multiple communities devoted to this for epics. I know of none for randoms
But clearly, itâs still done. Ran into a full tichon sync group and they were so bad they lost because all they did was zerg around and didnât play the objective.
Shouldnât be for anything. Game should be fair and fun for everyone donât you agree?

I ran into one as well last expac. Once, all expac. You running into 1 group doesnât mean itâs ârunning rampantâ. I said 1 in 1000 and your âproofâ was that you ran into one group once
Yes? Iâm not saying itâs a good thing, that I do it or I agree with it. Iâm saying youâre making up things that are untrue: random BGs do not have a sync queue problem
Didnât say that was the only one just a super obvious one. They arenât always from the same server. The fact is it shouldnât be happening at all. Doesnât matter if you personally run into it. Do you run with a group or solo?

Which is the issue. Most PvP player went back to alliance as they have the most broken racials, especially lately after the nerf to Orc.
So deal with the queue times or transfer to Horde. It is the same with Shuffle. If you donât like the queue times, play healer!
How do you know theyâre sync queueing?
And I donât think you personally run into it
Both
They way they play. I have been playing for a very long time and I know the difference between pugs and groups.
Sorry donât really matter what you personally think. I do and it shouldnât be a problem at all in epics or non-epics.
Youâre just making it up and itâs obvious. Your âproofâ is your âfeelingâ that they have a sync queue group. Actual meaning? You want an easy excuse why you lost to a better and more coordinated team lmao
Kinda true, but I donât really care what you think. Just clearing it up for the rest of the people reading this that you have no idea what youâre talking about
