Whats is blizzards reasoning for having AV weekend always be every odd week(its week 31 now). People like me who work every other weekend will NEVER get to play an AV week because its alway the same rotation. Its 3 bgs, shouldnt be hard to have them on a three week rotation. yes im a minority here but there has to be others like me out there.

This decision was made nearly 19 years ago, and no one who was involved in it still works at Blizzard. My guess is they wanted to have a week where there was no meta for BGs.
BG weekends are also more than 4 days long. You say you are in the minority, but I think you are in the minor minor minority that specifically has to work every other Friday Saturday Sunday Monday for 12+ hours. That’s a very unique schedule, and one that Blizzard would have no reason to structure their MMO around.
If they move it to a 3 week rotation, now Blizzard is screwing over all the people that work every 3rd weekend Friday Saturday Sunday Monday for 12+ hours.

I get what you mean in that I’ve often worked weekends with Tues/Weds or Weds/Thurs off. Life in general doesn’t accommodate that. Interestingly, that was great for the traditional ranking with a premade team, and for raiding even, but as for the BG weekends, nah.
The one week on one week off is even rarer.
This is something that you provide feedback about but I doubt it will ever be changed.
I’m actually in the same boat. I always work on AV weekend which leaves me no time to play it either. Always wondered and wanted the same thing. Three BG’s on a three week rotation. I would love it as it would open more of the game to me, but I won’t make a stink about. If Blizzard would be open to changes like other things, this would be a nice one.
I would like to see WSG and AB honor gains buffed like 3X to 5X so that people do them.
A 3 week rotation would be nice tho because off-week is crap
That sucks. I hope you’re able to figure that out at some point and get your schedule sorted out so you can participate.
But like… That would be kinda weird to ever expect any devs of any game ever to accommodate your schedule.
Just gotta deal with it. You can definitely still rank outside of AV weekend. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
