Blizzard works at snail speed for anything not PVE. If they don’t say or do something by midnight launch, then it would be safe to say sync is here to stay.
Now you get it. More people need to do it.

Be specific. What modes are you suggesting are or should be queue synced? Unless I’m playing with one more person, I just play Solo BGs, unless there’s a participation quest for Solo Arena. I don’t think it is good for the game if Solo BG or Solo arena has Queue Syncing as an option.

I don’t play epics or queue sync, but if you like epics you may as well join them. If it wasn’t for the groups dodging it would likely be some of the best content epics have to offer
Pugs/solo players just want to PvE rush and end the game, collect currency and leave. Insanely boring
I’ve only ever joined one epic queue sync group and it was a wargames with another one. It was coordinated, a huge (epic) fight with actual strategies and what I felt epics should be
That being said, not all queue sync groups are made the same or play the same. Those that constantly dodge other teams are dweebs

Sync queue premades intentionally drag games out as long as possible to farm pugs and solo players, making for a frustrating and unbalanced experience. They rely heavily on pugs and solo players, not the other way around. Without pugs to farm, their entire playstyle collapses. Blizzard needs to implement changes that prevent this exploitation while ensuring fair gameplay for all.

Thanks ChatGPT.
If you want the format to just be dead sure.

Look in game via community finder and find a community that works with your play times. Find the community you like best. Communities can now also be cross faction.
It is indeed an “If”, but I am confident Blizzard will wait until only queue syncers are doing non-rated play in any volume, and then consider changes.
Roses are red, violets are blue.
They say things ain’t they way they is, but it do.

Ya I am not sure if it technically violates ToS, but it could. Again why is there even 5 man limit if they are ok with raid groups sync queuing? To me it still looks like people manipulating the queue system which would I think be against the ToS.

Man I’m gonna be real, it’s kinda just a pipe dream.
Not that it isn’t a beautiful fantasy. The issue is just that the servers can not handle it.
Epics are really only playable when most of your pug group isn’t actually pressing buttons, at least in the big clashes.

Yeah that’s true the lag wasn’t ideal. Manageable for ranged, but not fun. Melee…that’s another story.
I dunno if they changed anything in the last couple xpacs but the initial clash in southshore vs tarren mill used to be unplayable for me, but now they’re just a little annoying but manageable. Still using the same PC but maybe different graphics settings, not sure
It’s not an issue with the user’s PC.
Performance in epics really tanked this expansion, I assume because hero talents added a ton of extra passive procs that strain the servers. Every slayer strike and arcane splinter just bogging it down more than ever.
I dunno why mine got better, I used to just AFK out of southshore vs TM in SL/early DF
Naw ill keep solo qing. Qing in premades just holds you back. I prefer close games and i have a better shot at getting one if im solo. Syncing just leads to steamrolls which is an absolute snoozefest.
The only statement about sync queueing I have seen from Blizzard is that pressing the join queue button at the same time as another player is not against the ToS.
But that’s like saying accepting money a bank teller hands you isn’t against the law, when the subject is whether robbing banks is against the law.
Basically Blizzard has never actually weighed in on what they consider queue syncing. They never said it’s allowed, they never said it’s not allowed. All they did was say the painfully obvious, that joining the queue at the same time as someone else isn’t against the ToS. It’s a non-answer really.
“Is robbing banks illegal?”
“Accepting money from a bank is not illegal.”
