Just spent 8 mins in unrated battleground being spawn camped

blizzard, theres got to be a way to stop this behavior. they would not capture flags for the entire time. they just sat in our graveyard killing anyone that spawned. most of us sat there as ghosts doing nothing for 8 minutes. this just shouldnt happen.

reason for spawn camping? undergeared alts vs geared team. not fun either. lets fix unrated pvp please.

Sounds like this belongs to the battleground forum, where you’ll find people that have resonated with your thoughts for the past 15 years and Blizzard ignores them.

Stop what, exactly? PvP behavior in a PvP environment?

really no solution other than you guys getting good and learning to communicate.

I’ve been in a BG where the opposing team attempted to gy camp us, you know what we did? we communicated a plan, we moved away from the spirit rezzer and once ready, we told everyone to focus the healer, and we all rezzed up at the same time and easily ended up nuking the players camping the GY. <-- PvP Solution for a PvP Problem.

I always understood that rated pvp was meant to be more difficult because you got a rating from it. So I assumed that more geared players would want to do it for that reason. And be that as it may, its a pvp activity to camp graveyards. Your response is one of two - just stay dead and deprive them of the kill, or seek a pvp solution such as waiting till everyone is there and try rezzing at the same time and taking them on together.

Allow a forfeit vote. Simple as that.

Better than 15 minutes of camping because Little Timmy has decided glue eating is a more worthy past time than fighting on flags.

i think the issue is theres nothing to lessen the time for the bg to end. if you leave with 8 minutes left, you get hit with 15 min deserter. other pvp games you can either just leave, or eventually creep waves will end the game like in mobas. instead, we’re literally waiting for time to run out.

doesnt matter. nobody wants to get stomped by overgeared people and wait out a timer. it can be better. think of a way it can be better instead of ‘its just pvp friend’

They don’t care.

Then maybe opening a youtube video on the background and chilling for 8 minutes until it passes it’s not that bad.

that sounds super fun.

It’s been happening for years and years Blizzard don’t give a rats about it.

Fix what? That you drew one unlucky card and got gy camped for 8 minutes once?

That’s not a problem, that’s just bad luck.

it should be prevented. thats what.

It’s the magic of random BGs.

Sometimes, you get nice teams that communicate and get things done.

Others you get gy camped.
