That you need to stay out of casual battlegrounds and only do rated battlegrounds where you won’t have to worry about what randoms are allowed to play with you. Take a step back and reread your requirements.
A.) Horde players are, on average, better than Alliance players.
B.) They never purposely sabotage a BG because it would be a literal waste of time and no one who does anything meaningful in-game would purposely waste the finite amount of time they have.
Okay, say about 10% of the casual BG population does this. It is about equal on both Horde and Alliance side, with Merc and non-Merc players. More often than not, it is just stupid and/or awful players who’d rather fight in the roads/leave nodes undefended to either pile up on a single node or be where the action is. It’s the nature of playing with randoms.
Uh, most people don’t do Epic BGs these days because they have always been pretty damn awful. There’s a reason the queue time for an epic BG is so much longer than the queue time for a regular BG. Also, as Kegeo said, it will take more than 1 player(Or even a dozen, at those numbers) to throw an epic BG.
Yeah, it’s not due to Merc Mode inherently. But the type of players who do go into BG’s to ruin other peoples experiences are going to be attracted to whatever gives them the shortest queues, which is Merc Mode (AFAIK, at least).
It’s correlation and you know what they say about that.
One single player capping the wrong gy in AV totally loses the game. Period.
If you don’t get this then I don’t think you are the intended pvp audience for this thread.
Edit; lots of horde shills on this thread lol …
Whats wrong with creating a 2K+ rbg requirement for using merc mode? Surely EVERYONE on the horde using merc must already have this very simple achievement, right?
Also one of my favorite words but it is somehow one of the worst words in the English language on this side of the pond. And I just don’t understand why anyone would willingly waste their time like that. As our green friends say, “Time is money” and wasting that is as bad as wasting money. That’s why I rage so much in them when we are losing due to people doing stupid things.
A.) It literally doesn’t. Played hundreds of AV games to level up my characters during the AV event last year, capping the wrong GY is entirely recoverable.
B.) Not the intended audience? Higher rated than you in every instance of rated PvP but okay, tell me more.
Technically merc mode isn’t faction specific. If more Alliance were queueing than Horde, then it would become an Alliance option. Just like Overwhelming Odds for Warmode.
EDIT: That said it can be used to act like a jerk, if you are so inclined.
"You don’t have enough of this pointless number to point out how I have no clue what I’m talking about even though you’ve been higher rated in every rated bracket of PvP. "
That’s adorable. Your “vast knowledge” of unrated, pointless BGs is so overwhelming that you actually think that the capping of a wrong GY is so bad that it is an insurmountable obstacle and you can’t win if it happens. Sit down.
I thought the only people who run LFR are those who are literally AFK/on follow and those doing other things while going through sightseeing mode? I haven’t run LFR in literal years, especially on both factions, so I wouldn’t know about that aspect.
It really does! Also, it is still just a concept that evades my comprehension, even with that wonderful GIF. Why wouldn’t they sabotage RBGs instead? It would get far more rage. Or keys. That would get a mondo amount of rage, if that is their actual goal.
Here’s a fun little tip for you: Random BGs don’t matter now and they haven’t mattered since Vanilla ended. Maybe Alliance players should actually learn how to play and that would make up for being unable to win after the wrong GY is capped in AV.
