Or perhaps it depends on the battlegroup.
No. Its a path of least resistance issue. People will zerg to farm marks of honor. In av 1.12.1 the honor SUCKS compared to premading. AV will only be there to get MAX rep.
It happened in vanilla back in 06 and it happened in private servers. Youre talking to a Feb 2005 wow player bruh.

Unfortunately not. Not getting real AV is gonna be bad for classic. There will be backlash once av drops. I guarantee it.

And yet that didnât happen before reinforcements.
I guarantee youâre wrong.
Itâs only a vocal minority on these forums that really gives a damn.
LOL reinforcements are irrelevant to the argument man. If players dont have to cap towers to reduce warmasters/marshals in the final boss rooms its going to be a zerg. Old av required you still cap this stuff so you didnt have to kill so many warmasters and marshals in the final boss rooms.

AV didnât turn into a zerg until reinforcements were added.
No one even took 1.12.1 av seriously. It was like 2 months before tbc came out. What makes you think it wont be a zerg fest like private servers? Dude. wake up.
Reinforcements werenât added until 2.3, AV was a non zerg for quite a long time.

Right the premade vs the pug? I donât care.
1.12 is the exact same BG as the one in TBC, except for reinforcements. 10+ years of zerging has conditioned players to know full well that zerging is the most efficient way to accumulate Marks of Honor, zerging will be the way it is played, despite the lack of reinforcements.
Reinforcements did not create zergs, it merely catered to them.
The arguments in here saying you can simply not zerg (especially the wrath baby with zero experience with vanilla) are like saying that on black friday you can simply not storm the doors for the best deals at physical stores.

It doesnât take the entire BG to break a zerg, a handful of people can do it. The reality is 1.11 AV doesnât cater to zerging or not zerging, it merely doesnât force one strat over the other. The people claiming they canât stop a zerg seem to be mostly people who are just lazy and or bad at pvp.
10+ years of zerging has conditioned players to know full well that zerging is the most efficient way to accumulate Marks of Honor , zerging **will** be the way it is played, despite the lack of reinforcements.

So you are making a claim based on what might happen in the future instead of what did happen in the past. We know for a fact that zerging did not become the main strat until rteinforcements, not 1.11.
Also marks of honor and rep are a finite thing, once the people who only want those get them theyâll stop queuing.
I guess bold is the new cruise control for cool.
In related news, water has been told that it need not go over Niagra Falls if it simply chooses not to. If it cannot manage to not go over the falls, it is just lazy and bad at gravity.

Whelp I guess this is another thing weâll see in classic. If youâre right people will just zerg AV, if you are wrong and given that AV didnât turn into a zerg until reinforcements were added itâs likely you will be then plenty of games will not be zergs.
The zerg in retail is not just because of conditioning itâs because reinforcements turned it into the only way to play the map.
