I’ve played this game for 20 years now… 20 YEARS! How is it that for over a decade and with the advent of Discord, YOU ActiBlizzard, can see that people are grouping up in discord, sync queing into Random BG’s, and RUINING THE GAMMING EXPERENCE for both old and new players??? And you can’t figure out why you are losing sub’s and not gaining new sub’s when first person shooters and pvp games are a massive part of the gamming population right now?
ActiBlizzard! you have failed us with this issue for over 10 years now and I’m sick of it.

Just wait for the queue syncers to post something like “make friends”. Which they always do.

Nothing wrong with occasional group queueing, it becomes a problem when groups who should be doing rbgs just camp random bgs instead, knowing they wouldn’t do well in the actual coordinated battleground mode and come up with ridiculous excuses not to rbg.
Dunno about epic bgs and the whole “queue sync” though.

I think they know. And I also think they know approximately how many people are queue syncing Vs not queue syncing. So they may have weighed their options on which subs they’re ok with losing. Basically, I think the past twenty years was a daily conversation with players where blizzard told the non-queue syncing players to get bent if they dont like it. Pretty rude come to think of it. Did Blizzard violate the harassment and conduct parts of the ToS?

It is out of control, i event joined a guild that does it to try to actually win one once in a while. It shouldnt be allowed tbh
Blizzard has made it clear that cheaters are more important than the regular player.

The system needs to be fixed for sure. Yesterday i faced the same premade(streamer arrowassasin)in random BGs 3x in a row with our side not even having a group of 2 players. The system is not matching premade to premades in regular random BGs anymore. You can see from his stream that he had a party of 5 and his group was slaughtering the non premaders.

To be fair Arrow doesn’t look for friends to play with, he usually solo queues but if you request to join his group he allows it.
There’s a huge difference between raid groups trying to manipulate the queue system, and a streamer who (sometimes) allows a few people to join his group. Arrow does not rely on premade groups to have fun. He doesn’t graveyard camp, for the most part (I would.) I’ve never seen him do anything shady. He has zero requirements to join his groups.
5 man groups is part of PvP… Anyone can do it. Epic premade queue exploiters are people who manipulate the system to try getting multiple raid groups into the same BG. They should be banned/suspended.

I run with groups for randoms all the time. It is fun to play with others.
We play on fully geared mains, but also undeargeared alts to gear them up.
We opt for random casual games because it is…casual.
If someone has to go run to a crying baby and misses the queue, it doesn’t matter.
We get another random person in our game to replace them.
The above scenario happens on a regular basis. Kids, dogs, and stuff in the oven.
We can queue with 5, 4, 3, or 2 player groups of any class/spec. Players cycle in/out.
We can bring undergeared friends not feel like we are throwing in a rated game.
I mean…
if they added a group version of blitz that would let you take your friends on any class/spec with a group of any size, we would totally do that instead…

So, a decent player that is there to have fun and not trying to ruin anyone’s time?
Sounds like me and everyone I play BGs with.
There’s a saying that comes to mind…
Don’t hate the player.
Hate the game.
Blizzard does not have the staff, resources, time or ability to properly manage PvP. Also, they don’t care. They’d rather cater to the care bears running around dungeons/raids hitting traffic cones.

I was just pointing out that I ran into his premade 3x in a row while he was streaming. Proving that the system is not matching premade vs premade groups
If the system only matched premade vs premade… you guys would start creating threads complaining about 20 minute queue times. I am currently Honor Level 2,832 (ranked 12th in the ENTIRE world…) I’m just not seeing the premade problem. Some of you do three BGs a day - run into two premade groups, and insist there’s a problem… there’s really not. The system is fine… aside from the Epic queue exploiters.

The system should pair premades to premades. I should not run into the same premade 3x in a row with no premade on my team. That alone is a problem. If someone does 3 BGs a day according to you and run into a premade 2 out of the 3. That is indeed a problem unless their team has one too

No. It’s just called bad luck.
I do more BGs than anyone on this forum - I have 0 friends on my Bnet. Why don’t I complain about all of these premades you’re seeing? Because I’m not seeing them. It’s not that common.
You act like you lost to a group of Glads. I have news for you - Arrow’s ‘premade’ doesn’t use voice. He doesn’t use strats. He doesn’t target call. Nothing. They just play for fun.
Unfortunately, for you - your team was probably rocking season 4 Dragonflight gear. There’s a reason Blizzard is adding a one-button rotation… because it’s a player issue, not a system issue.
The system is fine.
People swear premades are all target calling in discord. Na they are just playing music, doing their thing. (I speak for normal bgs, i dont care for epics)

Its a system that is flawed. Not bad luck. I brought up arrow as proof that his premade was not facing other premades. I myself ran into his premade 3x in a row.
