Cross server bgs will kill the PvP community

I think that if they could use better matching, and focus on “intra-server” match ups until a certain amount of time has passed, this would align the groups with playing the other people on the server far more often.

OK, you are going to have to substantiate this claim. CRBGs have ZERO positive impact on realm faction ratio imbalance.

Razaell-sargeras · June 13, 2019, 1:56am

Two server battlegroups are a reasonable compromise I think.

16 is pure madness, and a deletion of the pvp community.

I sincerely hope blizzard reconsiders this…

Choose a server without low population.

Razaell-sargeras · June 13, 2019, 2:01am

This is abject nonsense and you know it. It goes directly against blizzards stated purpose for creating classic.

Betabebop-sargeras · June 13, 2019, 2:02am

Has nothing to do with server population. Has to do with the number of people that want to run BGs.

Razaell-sargeras · June 13, 2019, 2:05am

…which is directly correlated with server population. C’mon man

CRBG’s were added to vanilla to address a vanilla problem, they are a vanilla solution to a vanilla problem. And as such are 100% authentic.

Razaell-sargeras · June 13, 2019, 2:12am

World pvp and having a pvp community being a “problem” is clearly the subject of debate.

We get it, you don’t like these things, that’s why Blizzard made pve servers, just for people like you!

Ziryus-doomhammer · June 13, 2019, 2:14am

Queue times were an issue on pvp servers as well

Razaell-sargeras · June 13, 2019, 2:32am

Not one I ever saw

Ziryus-doomhammer · June 13, 2019, 2:36am

Then you weren’t paying attention

Razaell-sargeras · June 13, 2019, 2:37am

All I did was pvp, never entered MC or collected the valor set

Ziryus-doomhammer · June 13, 2019, 2:40am

You realize there were multiple realms in vanilla? And will be in classic?

Curt-gurubashi · June 13, 2019, 2:44am

I’m staying on pserver if I have to crbg.

Gurktork-malganis · June 13, 2019, 2:50am

If any of you were on beta you’d know that the pve server wouldn’t get any bg pops if the cross realm bg system wasn’t in place. And the horde would have even longer queues than they already do. Some of their wsg and ab queues were many hours long. The worst I saw was a 10 hour AB queue for sony digital lol.

Cr BGs are 100% needed and they were in vanilla. It’s going to happen.

Xoxopku-crushridge · June 13, 2019, 2:52am

I played during the “REAL” vanilla and I think its fine. Its cool to have that bg rivalry but I think whats better is having that open world pvp rivalry. Besides, if the battlegroups are small enough chances are you’ll see a lot of the same faces in BGs.

Geosteler-tichondrius · June 13, 2019, 3:10am

you realize that this was implemented in Vanilla right? It was a later patch but this was a thing already in Vanilla and nobody complained about it. Did you not play Vanilla or something? This was a QoL change and its fine.

Starbûck-caelestrasz · June 13, 2019, 3:17am

I started in 1.12 vanilla, I felt a sense of community and enjoyed good pvp with rivals until about mid wrath.

I was on Aman’thul (vanilla) and then to Caelastrasz (TBC onward), which was part of Bloodlust and telling you now, BG9 was brutal.

So no, you’re wrong.

Mogar-stormrage · June 13, 2019, 3:22am

Cross realm bgs are part of the reason I have no interest in pvp in Classic. If I wanted to grind on (and alongside) random strangers I’d play BfA.

I still remember the day cross realm bgs were added in Vanilla. I instantly went from knowing almost everyone to knowing no one. It killed my enthusiasm for doing bgs. Just another example of ‘convenience’ replacing immersion and community.
