They don’t actually.
Alliance have Instant queues. Premades allow you to get a massive amount of honor compared to someone who is playing solo so you can set caps and not have to play 7 days a week. If everyone had to play solo you’d see super unhealthy play time for ranking.
Which are awarded relative to the bracket. If the bracket values shift you still get the same amount of RP for achieving the same place on it regardless of your weekly honor’s value.
Nothing changes except the quality of gameplay which has increased.
Why are you against that?
World pvp was more fun than BGs imo.

It’s simple math.
If as a premade I can earn 200k honor in a day while a pug can only earn 100k that means I can finish grinding in 4 days and he can’t catch up. This keeps the brackets lower and you dont have to play 20hours a day 7 days a week to cap.
You are wrong though. Geting rid of premades would still require over 400k honor every week for about 4 weeks just to get from rank 13 to 14. Lets see how well you grind 400k honor pugging with 30 minute games and 50% win rate if you are lucky.
And that is just ONE RANK
I never suggested getting rid of premades.
And no it doesn’t it means placing in the top bracket which is relative to all the players underneath it.
Did you even read the title of your own post???!?!?!?!?!?
The entire game other than questing and farming mats in the open world requires a group. This is a social game. If you can’t find a group of players who have similar interests and want to play the game with you that’s on you. It applies in pve as well. Someone who takes the time to find or form a guild and make friends has a significant easier time clearing raids and dungeons than someone who only pugs. Maybe classic just isn’t for you.
I didn’t start this post.
shrug
I started this one which nobody will touch with a 10 foot stick because they’re afraid if they bump it blizzard will actually do something to prevent them from stomping pugs, which requires of them less effort.

Depends on your server tbh. If you were on a server where you literally couldn’t do anything or go anywhere it wasn’t very fun. And those players just left
So put that in your pipe and smoke it.
No one is afraid of it. They just think your idea is stupid.
This is classic, not retail.
Right, and in classic we like stomping pugs because it isn’t challenging and sucks for everyone.
I forgot.
Sorry Snacks.

You didn’t forget anything.
Classic is about forming groups and playing together.
I’m sorry you’re too emotionally unstable to find friends to play with.
Which is exactly why you can queue for battlegrounds without a group.

And that’s your choice.
If you want to win play with a team.
If you want to pug you know what you’re getting yourself into.
It’s not even hard to figure this out.
If you want to “win” while playing solo go world pvp.
Then remove the option to queue without a team, Snacks.
Or does that hurt your Hph? I’m sorry, man.
I fail to see how this isn’t simply a front defending pugstomping.
All that effort you put in Zydax? Was killing teams that you could kill without exerting much effort. Y’all are just lazy benefactors of a broken matchmaking system that should’ve been fixed 15 years ago.

I finished ranking over a month ago.
Premading was the BEST way to rank. It cut so much time out of my grind because I could cap in 4-5 days while everyone who was pugging would be miles behind. It made it so I could have some semblance of a life while grinding.
What you’re asking for is to trash the system so you can solo rank because you’re either too lazy or too bad to get a premade of your own.
It is all a front, and it always was. They want to keep it in place to keep the select few in power at the expense of everyone else.
Premades need us more than we need them, and it’s pissing them off that we are calling them on it.

Right. Because finding a group requires effort.
Classic is apparently a game about quickly grinding as much honor as you possibly can at the expense of gameplay quality; perhaps that’s all it ever was.
