Cross Realm Battlegrounds have really huge negative impact on European servers. I just want to raise my opinion here as if Blizzard will use 1.12 version it is more likely cross realms will be included.
Facing with Russians, Germans and French groups who make groups with voice communication on their mother tongue with random European groups which many of them either can not speak English language or using English language as a 3rd, 4th language is giving a huge disadvantage and should be handled with care.
Just the sake of shortening queue times to give a faction disadvantage from the start is not the right way to go. Also, many people who will play Classic, liked the hard way to achieve things. Anything making the game easier led to current retail version, my vote is for the earlier version of AV, thanks.
