Dec 12th forum post predictions

  1. Remember that time (feels like just last week) when the entire world was in hectic chaos with all the massive raid groups killing anything and everything in sight. All i see now is 5 thousand players camping the battle masters. Black lotus priced have tanked and i cant make any gold for my epic mount - those things were going for 200g each - now i am able to actually able to loot a few, the price is 20g. I cant find a group to run any 5 mans at all - no healers, no tanks, no dps - i spammed for 4 hours and had 3 people join and then leave!!!

  2. Blizzard - please stop these premades destroying bg’s. Every single one i join is a complete and utter zerg fest from a premade of MC/ONY/R12-14 geared players spawn camping the graveyard for hours and hours. The dont even care about capping the flag - i have to /afk out and then i cant join anymore bg’s until my debuff drops. I cant even run a 5 man because i have been in the same group for 5 hours now, and we still cant find a tank or a healer.

  3. CROSS SERVER BG’S.

  4. Nerf Epic Mounts in BG’s.

  5. WSG/AV Vendors. I finally hit (insert desired faction rep rank) and now the wsg/av vendor is being camped. How am i able to purchase the rewards if either the vendor or myself is always dead?

Please note just a little bit of /sarcasm for you to enjoy

The tears will never stop. Folks will always find something to whine about.

Every single time, it will be complaints from a Alliance character, if not, their 110-120 retail character.

It will probably be Horde players complaining about 20+ minutes queues.

Are they allowing premade raids to queue into bgs?

I wouldn’t see why not Idk about PM 40 mans in AV but definitely 10 mans

Any premade raid vs. pug game is going to get ugly fast, especially if the raid is coordinating over voice chat.

The tears from premades about queues and gasp! shock! queuing into other premades are going to be delicious.

Is it really a premade if they arnt?

LFM PUGmade WSG PST!

Wonder how long it’ll be before people start screaming for blizzard to make battlemasters easier to click on when there’s dozens of people hugging them.

I’m sure most premades will be matched against other premades. You would at least hope they are matched most of the time.

We’ve seen premades avoiding other premades. They’ll send in scouts first. They’ll even send in spies on the other team to see what they’re facing.

Premades have a lot of experience playing games with the queue system to get their desired matchup.

Definitely going to be some about fighting mid and ignoring objectives.

At least one about how old the game is and people not knowing what efc ramp means.

This was my phase 3 prediction in order from least QQ (#10) to most QQ (#1).

This will be easy to determine given the long delay between a single player entering before the rest do. So it can be reported.

Even if the premade chooses to join against your pug there will be a pretty good delay which after seeing the delay then seeing the premade, it’s easy to report the scout and the premade.

Also with the amount of people pushing rank, there will be tons of premades. Dodging premades will likely end up a lower honor per hour.

Also with xrealm, it’s difficult to group queue AV unless they give people the ability to group queue AV. Alterac Valley used to be solo queue for a long LONG time.

What are you going to report them for?

Queue Dodging, Abusing the system, Bypassing the deserter system.
Also easily top 5 for QQ threads in Phase 3. (#4 - Premade PvP)
