Bad luck or the new Ally meta?

Soooo, I just played 2 WSG’s, in both the Alliance just died and then sat there, and just let the horde win…

Is this the new thing?

Not really, though it is annoying if you are the one guy trying to actually play.

There were changes to how the AV queue works this morning, and people are trying to figure out where the best honor per hours is. Some of the people who previously would have been botting/afking/badge farming in AV may be experimenting with WSG. A WSG match where everybody afks probably ends more quickly than an AV match where everybody afks, but the badges are worth the same.

That said, alliance giving up and going afk isn’t exactly a new thing.

Nope this is as old as WSG itself.

Allow me to introduce to you the, “LET THEM WIN” crowd. Number one reason i don’t solo Q anything pvp related.

Back in vanilla, it used to tick me off, to queue for a WSG and land smack in the middle of a premade LOSS

Oh yea, those were a thing

They are playing the speed card. They crunched the numbers and realize that it is quicker to farm AV for the turn in tokens by getting the match over with as quickly as possible. So, that means sitting there and letting the other team 3 cap as soon a possible.

If you really want to beat them at their game, the minute you see this behavior, have someone grab their flag and just sit at their GY with it until they either leave the BG or rez and fight.

Careful, you might get yelled at because “it’s an MMO therefore you are forced into being in a large group at all times”
You are not allowed to play solo for 45 minutes!

I played some WSG today. Everyone was salty, but no AFKers.

This is not an appropriate response to this thread. Person is just asking a question, not asking for a change to be made.

Then go play League of Legends.

Happening to horde too bud, just had back to back games against marshal premades from faerlina.

Classic isn’t meant for people with no friends that’s retail. Solo player literally have to work 1000% harder because that’s how the game is. Wsg is for premades and av is pve but these que waits suck now since change

give things time to settle?
i am betting at the moment, there are a bunch of butt hurt persons
sitting out playing boycott. (based on discussions here and elsewhere)

Then they will realize R14 is slipping out of grasp and start queuing regardless

Nope.

As Horde Im 0-5 today. Admittedly 3 were premades, but the others werent.
