How to Address Premades in Classic Battlegrounds

Yeah dude. Accepting the queue was a bit like opening your social tab and seeing who was online that day.

I quit queuing back in January. Why do you guys queue at all if you hate it so much?

game still fun when the teams is fair.

Just doesn’t seem very common that it happens.

Could be superstition but i feel like as you rank up, it starts to pair you with higher ranking players. A lot of high rank players aren’t pugging, so if you’re high rank and pugging you’re totally boned.

It is too rare to be worth it. I hope to login someday and there are zero games going.

bright ray of sunshine, this one. lol

Go.

Play.

Counterstrike.

(or retail)

MMO’s/social based games are not for you.

It would get the point across far more than whining on the forums. Imagine if there were literally zero BG’s going.

You realize that even if you solo queue you end up on a team with other players you have to work with?

There isn’t a lot of “working with” in pug vs pug games. There is a lot of people doing whatever they can solo to get top kills and top honor. There is also a lot of AFKing, botting and trash-talking teammates in chat. Teamwork is non-existant unless you are lucky enough to get with a good group of people who actually want to play properly which is extremely rare.

In some games, in other games there’s a quite a bit of coordination.

And of course if queues were separated the other team would have exact same issues.

Sure. But in classic we require you to put in a bit more work than just getting Blizzard to lump you in with a bunch of random people whom you can decide how much interaction you want to have with.

Sowwy.

Well no since BG’s have a queue system.

Well ya…since the entire complaint here is to try and avoid those who succeed through socializing and group play…

:slight_smile:

Guess ya gotta work on your social skills and reputation among your peers huh?

I see this ridiculous response quite often, from the same few people. Playing an MMO battleground with 9 or 14 or 39 other people is not playing “solo”. In fact it requires tougher on-the-fly coordination than running a premade.

In vanilla there were no where near as many premades. There was no obsession with HPH by more than a handful of sweaties per sever. And the battleground experience, which was an option for casuals to make progress without the insane investment of raid scheduling and farming for them, was much more enjoyable.

Many people signed up for Classic just for it. It is a super easy fix and will only annoy the sweaty HPH rankers who don’t actually want to PvP anyway.

I see this same asinine response from the same pathetic group of gamers who want to equate LFR to guild raid runs…

While yes, there is some interaction that would make the two comparable, in the end the level of interaction and socialization isn’t even remotely close.

Get gud at making friends, friend!

Yep by bringing up the problem to blizzard until they fix it :slight_smile:

They did fix it.

In retail.

Sowwy, classic stays.

Blizzard has already made changes to BG’s to account for changes since vanilla.

No they didn’t.

It’s still a problem in bfa. lol

I’m speaking more specifically to having turned WoW into almost a solo based game where all interaction heavy lifting is done by Blizzard. Allowing the individual to not really need to interact or socialize with anyone.

We are not doing that with classic. And those who choose to interact and socialize should and WILL always have a leg up on those that choose not too.

Them’s the brakes.
