It’s impossible for alliance to win any battleground. AV is an absolute mess and WSG is even worse.
Alliance is being punished because Horde is a much more popular faction? We were only able to do premades because of the ratio of ally/horde allowing ally to instant queue.
Everyone whined and complained about premades - but look at it now. All Horde does is run WSG premades and 5 games in a row I joined a game in progress where everyone had left the game and was killed upon spawning into our flag room.
This is 100% unacceptable and I apologize for any frustration as it’s not aimed at anyone in particular but I can’t even enjoy one of the things about this game that I was looking forward too the most.

Perhaps you should start a WSG premade.
You know… Git gud.

This is your own faction’s fault. They send scouts in to see if they’re against a premade, and if they are… they don’t take the queue. It’s apparently the thing to do if you have instant queues… Screw over all your faction’s pug groups.
They did it in AV, it got hotfixed. I’m sure they’ll do something for WSG too.

Actually they normalized it, because the way you guys were ranking before was cheating. You guys are just fortunate they didn’t warn/suspend you and strip the rank you got from exploiting.
Now it’s up to you. As a faction, learn to pvp.

Queueing at the same time is not an exploit fyi.

How was it cheating? We queued the same exactly way you guys did, the only difference was you’re on the more popular faction - aka you had a queue time.

it’s not really “normalized” though. nor was previous behavior cheating or an exploit.

Call it what you want, scouting a game and leaving it and your fellow factioneers to the dogs if it doesn’t meet your criteria is selfish, scumbag behaviour.
Nice things … can’t have.

There was no cheating. The good men and women of the Alliance are highly skilled and dedicated. Not their fault you picked the over populated faction. They used the tools given them.

100% agree we had no queue advantage over Horde other then they had more of a population, ridiculous we have to suffer now

What if our starting cave got changed further back? and backdoor to DB?
Would you be happy then? or will people just call pvp ruined because you can’t premade? premades are not everything.
Players ruined AV and ranking for Alliance, not Blizzard. This whole fiasco is 100% the result of sh*tty player behavior and people screwing over their own faction. Keep that elitist/zoomer mentality in retail where it belongs and let those of us who waited over a decade for Classic just enjoy the damn game.

Just so you’re aware… the current population figures (best estimates, and they jive with what Blizzard has said) show that the Alliance is the more population faction - about 53% to 47%.
The Horde isn’t the overpopulated faction…
But you can continue to spew that lie to make your own faction screwing you seem like it is somehow the Horde’s fault.

Oh, and for all the Ally premade apologists:
It was cheating and exploiting.
Blizzard implemented a mechanic specifically to deny premades from forming for AV.
You exploited a flaw in the system to specifically do something Blizzard was trying to prevent.
That’s cheating.
Straight up.
No way around it, no mealy-mouthed excuses you can make.
You were cheating.
Dont like it?
Maybe change your behaviour.
And any Horde who were premading (who were still waiting in 50 minute queues with about a 30% chance to actually get into the same BG) were cheating too.

You do realize that even whitout premades alliance still started underpop and still got cave camped while horde exploit the backdoor continously, amirite? Then premades came back in and nothing changed at all.
You can stop pretende you care about alliance pugs now, your solution amde their lifes worse lol.

The Classic honor ranking system is a comparison between you and the other players of your faction on your server. If none of you can win then you are all on equal footing. Ranking is perfectly fine.

Shhhh. Facts are inconvenient to the whinging.
Just curious, how many premade teams you think there are vs the number of horde who Q up at any given time?

We can all stop pretending AV premades where cheats. It was an abuse of the que time for sure. Did any Alliance actually lose rank from it? Tell then carry on and be salty I guess.
It’s not my solution mate. I got my 2nd toon to exalted playing crappy pug games against your premades where my team gave up on purpose and let you win in 7min. After a few weeks of that, my alt got his offhand and I’m out.
I’m done with classic PVP for good, it’s garbage game play. I play retail BGs again now where 2 pug teams actually clash in the field and I’m having fun again.
