when are you guys gonna force it?
Niceeeee….
/s
bump for justice
Probably never, because it’s not an issue.
I havent seen one topic that the whole community is agreeing about like this one. I’m sure Blizzard knows, there has to be some technical difficulty that they cant resolve.
I think the issue didn’t really come to mass prevalence early enough before everyone went on their Christmas vacation there. Now it has boiled over, and there’s just no way they can ignore it at this point. They need to at least address the issue – whether they’re going to do something about this or not.
If they refuse to do something about this, then just say so.
But it would be incredibly bad business for them to go that route.
Your gonna be real upset when you figure out you can get around the no premade “rule”.
Honestly if Blizz would come out and tell everyone, we arent changing the current pvp situation. so we can tstop seeing posts about it. I think day 69 and no blue posts on it should let you and everyone else know nothing is going to change, like it or not. you can complain about it all you want. they will not be changing it.
make it unable to stack same-server characters, that stops 99.99% of the worst sweats out there.
Trying to time queues in 10 or 15 man groups with 200+ games going on is laughable. You can barely get half a raid into AV with less than 10 games.
Whats funny is ques are getting a lot longer too. You can tell people are fed up with this.
Yea, and it’s just going to get worse. But hey, it’s a player made problem right, so Blizzard has no responsibility in fixing it… right?
Premades arent going anywhere. Make some friends and get it on.
Lol nah thats not even remotely true.
I def had sub 4 minute ques a week ago and now a lot of times its 8+
I’d just like blizzard to at least comment if they are working on this, or won’t do anything about this, etc. Just say something. Not acknowledging the uproar is just insulting.
Lots of things I wish they would tell some of the people on these forums…
Let me explain to you why.
Because people hit rank 3 and quit pvping until next patch when you can rank up again.
It has zero to do with premades and everything to do with people finished ranking after week 3/4.
I can attest to this.
Rank 3 + revered, I’m done with wsg for a bit.
I’ll resume the grind to exalted at some point, but done for now.
I haven’t touched a WSG in over a week or two because premades, you’re being unreasonable.
Besides, pointing out that people are ONLY engaging in WSG for rep supports his argument that people are doing it just to get rewards, and premades making you lose and in most cases getting you less than 1/6 the honor of a win is going to be a bad experience the 5th time in a row you go up against one.
I can’t remember the name of the psychological phenomenon, but it’s a moral reflex to someone asking you for help when it benefits them much more so than yourself - Someone asks you to drive them to cash out their lotto ticket before it expires and they offer you 10,000$ while they walk with the remaining 100 million. 10k is of course a huge amount just to drive someone but the perception is that you are helping them save that 100 mil and they won’t offer a “fair” sum.
When people realize a loss is 33 WSG rep and a WIN is 205 and their rep grind is just over 6 times longer than a premades grind (on avg.) they are going to be upset at the perceived fairness.
If revered was 126,000 rep I would absolutely give up on that monumental waste of time.
Queing into 3-5 premades when you only have an hour or two to play is absolutely going to make it untenable for someone who wants to quietly and calmly log on and que without spamming chat or coordinating with 10 people on who has what day off.
I think the option for solo-que or 1-3 man que and then a 10 man WSG should be on the table if the coding side is feasible.
This might surprise some of the people here, but not everyone is trying to prove something in a 20 year old game at level 25, they just want to have fun and have a somewhat fair/gentlemanly game.
Edit:
I went from WSGing nonstop after ashenvale and getting 20k rep and 1700 kills to actively avoiding it and the day they make a solo que I will be queing it nonstop. I like the range of experiences you get from solo que. There are actually alliance druids that don’t know how to break polymorph so I sometimes have to hop over to their server and give them a heads up.
