Hotfix for Warsong Gulch Queue Issue

We still can’t get in to the same BG.

Please get that through your thick skull.

Great, now can you please fix the alliance ability to literally 40-man queue into AV? Maybe not show the AV # until you’ve already joined. This premading while horde are forced to solo queue is ridiculous.

It’s clear there is ally favoritism. You can still solo-pull Drek, and get 30+ organized people into the same AV. Use your brain.

Gallywixx won’t get more paying customers by banning people. This is why botting is being ignored. Botters and cheaters are paying customers too.
Obviously it’s so rampant they won’t enforce their policies.
Exploit early. Exploit often.

I’m pretty sure this fix IS a no change. I dont remember this exploit existing in Vanilla. I remember us having to requeue every time we added a new player to our group, not that player automatically being added to our queue and skipping the line.

Yes. That is the natural outcome of severe faction imbalance. If they were closer together, both sides could often get into the same one. But, because Horde pvpers vastly outnumber Alliance pvpers, you can’t.

That’s just how math works.

There is no fix short of allowing premades on both sides officially, in which case we would see a lot more closed instances because then Ally rankers would scout each match checking for horde premades before going in. This would result in many matches cancelling due to not enough players, and even further extended actual queue times for horde as they get punted back out to wait in queue again.

That is the world we live in. People who are optimizing for ranking will do anything and everything, no matter how scummy or unsportsmanlike, for that little advantage.

Big question is, will people who abused the exploit be banned or will it be swapped under the carpet again, like the layer exploit before that?

Classic is no fun, if you don´t punish cheaters and exploit users.

“you just aren’t correclty remembering” lol

Oh it’s under the carpet again. Just like the gold sellers using chat channel invites to advertise their websites and now we have people impersonating blizzard GM’s to get people to go to their phishing websites.
They don’t care. Pay your $15 and exploit away is what I get out of their inactions.

Great, thanks for fixing irrelevant minor issues but ignoring the real problems :slight_smile:

lol, horde whining about closing an exploit and how allies can basically pre-made AV, theres a fix for all of this, ROLL ALLY, the only reason any of this is a problem is theres too many horde.

Its not like we didn’t warn you months ago your queues were going to suck.

instant decay wouldnt change the others rank, the others will rank up then they get the rp

Two wrongs don’t make a right, not to mention they brought out WSG and AV early because Blizz has no foresight anymore. PvP has become a joke in Retail and in Classic now too.

Get off your high-horse.

There are some horde that are the underpopulated faction on their server and had to deal with the awful wPvP and now the awful queue times.

Any chance of fixing the map exploits in WSG? If the argument against fixing them is #nochanges then will players be receiving the same punishment as they did in original days?

You should lose any honor gained from the exploit and endure a 2 week ban. Cheater.

Hope you and all your exploiting friends get a ban and lose the honor gained. Cheater.

Dude, this is what a lot of alliance people are doing, cause even with shorter queue times, you just cant guarantee you can put everyone in the same BG.

So you can do the same.

And no, it is not a EULA violation
If one really wanted to, one could do almost the same thing via battlenet, though it is a bit more clunky

This hotfix caused a huge issue for the Herod server. See this post: Cannot queue for bgs

How about you hotfix the BROKEN honor gains from AV or the fact that ONLY ALLIANCE can premade AV.
