What the hell is the point besides wasting time? I just don’t understand ctf if we get 2 and just never cap again.
its demoralizing to the team you are stomping. it adds to your HK numbers.
you also need to be smart about it. i was in one where we 2 capped in WSG really quickly. we decided to farm. unfortunately, the rest of the team decided to ignore the flag and a druid capped. and then it became both sides holding the flag, and they were able to cap last with about a minute left.
im all for HK farming, but be smart about it.
It has to do with devs setting up party sync so max level players can farm the honor needed to upgrade certain essences by easily stomping ungeared noobs, thus also feeding their antisocial tendencies at the same time.
Bgs are wrecked now for levelers, thanks to this change. They may as well let twinks queue again.

Lol I had a game we were being smashed in, pretty sure it was premade as we are talking mages with shield absorption more than some other peoples health.
But they also let the mage hold the flag after 2 caps for like 8 minutes and we ended up thumping him on his way back to their base for a draw.

it doesnt happen often in randoms, but the times you can beat a premade, especially after they get arrogant… feels good man. nothing better than that!

just pure humiliation for fun.
wait…you’re saying 120’s can queue with lower levels? why in gods name would that be allowed? for dungeons it’s one thing but for bgs? that would cause nothing but imbalance. who thought this was a good idea?
When it gets that lopsided, I just stay in ghost form and flip the screen to watch YouTube. You aren’t going to farm me for free honor.

Their gear ilvl is scaled, and at the lower levels they lose spells that are not part of that level yet. But their azerite traits, essences, corruptions, etc. are not scaled.
A level 19 demon hunter can farm the enemy team alone.
You can do that. But last time I was in that situation on a level 114, I ended up with 1 bar of xp. It is now a total waste of time to queue for a bg while leveling.
when leveling AR’s, and using BG’s to get to 60 for Korraks, i saw several times in the 20’s-40’s brackets, teams with DH’s and DK’s, usually with a healer with them.
i think for the leveling brackets, we should go back to stat templates if they are going to allow this, and yeah, let twinks back in. you can still smash people, but its not AS bad.
but no templates for max level, just templates for leveling. thats my opinion anyway.
Korrak’s Revenge used different scaling from Party Sync as it is in leveling bgs. But 120’s in Korrak’s had twice the health of leveling players.
Stat templates were not optimized, so some specs got exactly what they needed and were god specs, while others got none of what they needed and were trash throughout Legion.
Also, during Legion having much better gear gave you a few % bonus. I think that was appropriate.
yeah i was talking about the randoms and having party sync players, not Korraks, i was saying before i went into Korraks.
templates were not perfect, but it looks like you agree with me that they would be better than party sync scaling and twinks. templates could be better, but id still take the templates in Legion for leveling over what we got now. TBH
They’ve been wrecked since the introduction of heirlooms. New players or regular players that want to pvp and level get decimated by twinks playing the most op class for the level bracket.
In cata it would be common to see 8-9 hunters in a wsg, farming the crap out of the lesser geared hunters and non hunter players.
It’s only your opinion that low level bgs have been wrecked for over a decade.
I think they should have either matched premades on both sides or put in an equivalent to rbg’s that required a minimum ilvl of gear. But devs don’t want people to hang out in old content having fun, they’d rather they quit the game.
I’d you remove premades you’d still have to deal with the class imbalances. Some classes only have 1-2 abilities at low level while others have a lot more variety to control the map.
Instead of a group of op players it would be one controlling the map.
Stuff like this is why most people in this game don’t pvp very much. So many pvp centric folks are just wanting to mess with people.

Part of it is surely Blood of the Enemy farming. Farming the enemy GY and getting 10-15 honor a kill over and over again is good. It makes it fun. When we cap 2-0, I deliberately go pick up the flag and stand in front of their GY for the pure purpose of farming the enemy team till the timer runs out. If they don’t like it, they can leave.
I also got Blood of the Enemy rank 3 yesterday, so I won’t be needing to do bg’s anymore, but I’ll keep doing them for my other friends still farming, and I intend to continue doing the same thing.
This is not true. I did party sync with a level 90 recently. All traits and essences are disabled. Talents and spells are also synced with that level.
It’s only your opinion that party sync wrecks low level bgs now.
