No one said anything about easy conquest. This is the narrative that the epic BG premaders like to push. The “we work hard to get large communities and if you don’t you must be lazy”
Joining an epic BG community is quite literally easy conquest.
They just need to have a solo only que for random bgs. Losing premade won’t hurt solo players one bit, I guarantee it. Solo que would still pop plenty. It’s the premade ques that would die out over night. They need the soloers, the solos don’t need them.
Imagine being a new player trying to farm gear. You go 0-10 in epic bgs because every lobby is a queue sync premade (you don’t know what that is) and a group of 40 people that are already almost fully geared are getting 110 conquest and you get 0.
The premade queue sync epic bgs are trash for the game. Besides, the playerbase interested in doing that are the ones who should be propping up <1800 cr SS. We need you guys
Oh ok then, so if that’s the case, Alliance is also queueing into 3-4 consecutive queue sync premades during prime time which is a huge issue. I didn’t know the issue was so bad it was affected both factions equally. I thought maybe the silver lining was that only one half of the playerbase had to deal with it.
Epic bg teams with premade raids have fewer spots available for pugs, so you’re less likely to be teamed up with one. You’re much more likely to go against one (because of mass desertions too).
Games are starting with one team half empty because a premade raid decided to drop their queues when they didn’t get all 6+ groups in.
Fewer and fewer pugs are queuing up for epic bgs, so there are fewer games. Your odds of running into premade raids are increasing, especially during prime time.
If you play on Horde in the early morning, pray that Fieldarmy hasn’t started queuing yet or they’re taking the day off.
