Hot take on cross faction

Imagine trying to enjoy a battleground with a friend or two but your queue keeps getting dropped because some syncers want to get into the same battleground to stomp pugs instead of just war gaming.

^ This.

@Alphôn-bleeding-hollow

Your suggestion has to consider not 40 players in the case of an epic BG, but 80 players for both teams. You’re telling me that if one person misses that queue, the queue drops for everyone until another pop happens, in which case you have to then wait again for 80 people to press accept queue?

Queue pops. Wait 90 seconds. Someone was AFK. Rejoin the queue.
Queue pops. Wait 90 seconds. Someone was AFK. Rejoin the queue.

the problem is apathetic anti-social pug players who ruin the game

Premade raiders will blame everything to excuse their cheating. They’re premading because of bots. They’re premading because of pugs.

How about they’re premading and circumventing restrictions because they want easy wins? And they don’t care how much damage they’re doing to the PvP community.

Read this explanation:

@Inemia-rexxar

10 friends get together and pugstomp 10 bgs. those 10 people’s fun ruined the fun of 100 other people, its a pretty significant difference. there is also a difference between losing a close game and losing when you are getting pugstomped. a close match lose will still let you feel good as you know both teams played well and tried hard. getting pugstomped however is different as there is nothing you can do, you feel helpless. one feeling will beget more pvp, the other will traumatize many noobs into never pvping again. growth and health of the pvp community should outweigh the fun of playing with friends.

^ That’s just in 10-person bgs. Now consider how many people’s fun get ruined by a premade raid in epic bgs and how many noobs get traumatized into never PvPing again.
