I know this will probably get lost in the mess of doomsayers, But I would like to see a limit on premade groups to 5.

day one: its super fun, the queues are great and the atmosphere is amazing. Super fun to be able to talk to the enemy horde too, makes for some hilarious moments

or make it so if you’re in a group you get queued against other people in groups, no matter how big or small

what “doomsayers” it’s literally people from your own faction thanking them are you blind or what? doomsayers only if you care about the 10? probably posts using common sense about how pointless is to play alliance after this.
and no, you get to experience what alliance got to experience… no limit is fine.
This change only shows more horde favoritism. Instead of horde queuing individually we are seeing premade groups nonstop. I mean why not? Doesn’t matter any more if your queue is 30 seconds. Before premades were not as common because the more queuing at the same time would only slow the queue further. Can alliance create a premade? They sure can. Okay great so now were on equal footing for BG’s. What about racials? What about world pvp where everything is consistently camped? You can’t fix one thing for the horde and not at least throw alliance a damn bone. I can’t even imagine how bad things will be once Ogril’a and Skettis are released. If this change goes through I’m another in the cancelled sub column.
I’m happy horde can get into BG’s, I truly am but the cost is too great. The alliance faction is already on its last straw on many servers (Herod from my point of view) and this only makes people want to xfer or quit entirely since every freaking time horde get what they want while alliance get crapped on. Enough is enough. Give alliance something in return and this might be okay.

This is great and was much needed. Finally can grind honor in a reasonable amount of time. Please make this permanent.
Literal 1 minute queues and my opponents don’t all have full resilience gear because they had just as stifled queues in the past as me. I love it!

The same-faction bgs are great. But pre-made with more than 5 players needs to be disabled or make them play against other pre-mades.

Amazing change. Should definitely stay in the game long term.

The change has only been terrible. You shouldn’t be disadvantaging alliance players because the horde want to have their cake and eat it too. Its not fair to punish the remaining alliance pvp players just to make the glutton of horde pvpers happier. If people want fast queue times, they should reroll alliance. You shouldn’t punish alliance by giving horde the olnly benefit alliance had. We dont even get more honor, we just get steamrolled by premades. RIP alliance faction pvp. Thanks Blizz >.>

We’ve fixed the setting that was allowing same-faction talk across opposing teams.

First game of same-faction queues: 1-minute queue, EotS with a final score of 2000 to 1993. What a close and fair game, I love it.

Amazing change. Had our first full guild EotS premade going. We could never get more than 5-7 people before because of the extremely long wait period, for any bgs.
Now, we have lots of guildies who are excited about pvp and happy to queue up and play with friends, even though they have no or very little pvp gear. They actually are happy they can get honor gear now in a reasonable amount of time because of the instant queues. Some of them were even talking about leveling alts now just for pvp! They had abandoned the idea previously because it was a ridiculous time investment.
Only negative: same faction doing whispers, /s, and /y talking massive trash AND unable to report for spam or ignore these people harassing you.

Alliance aren’t gaining a disadvantage, they’re just losing an advantage they never should have had. The TBC devs never intended for 50 minute queues for horde and instant queues for alliance.

live exists… yes, and it’s a totally different game than classic. therefore “all the proof you need” is redundant because it doesn’t use the same tangents and variables.
and besides, if it takes 2 years to happen, that’s better than the crapfest taking place b4 this weekend.

and that creates balance huh, by giving one side more than the other. gotcha.
You’re right it is a totally different game. That’s why this change shouldn’t have even happened in the first place but here we are.
Blizzard made a trash nuclear option change instead of trying to coerce Horde to Alliance or rewarding Alliance for participating in PVP (badges/nethers/etc).
So here’s to the eventual 80% population Horde to 20% alliance just like live. Won’t happen today or even this month but give it a year.

Kind of like how they catered to crying Horde?
Best racials, Best PVE scene, Highest population, Most PVP servers 30/70 in favor of Horde. They have one drawback of self inflicted long queues but they can’t have that. Daddy blizzard needs to come in and fix it.
