So true. That’s why ‘carebear’ servers were Alliance and pvp servers were Horde. That’s why Alliance only queued for AV (starting line was altered to give Alliance an edge).
Your expectations of pvp are too high. It’s griefer’s paradise. Just avoid it altogether and your blood pressure will go down.
Hey lol
It is what it is.
I did the same thing, in the Horde, getting camped by the Alliance.
They did fix this. They added a timer. They used to be able to just camp for as many hours as they wanted. Classic TBC sure does sound great, doesn’t it?
Spawn camping is also a legitimate strategy. If the enemy team is dead, they can’t cap or return the flag.
They did add a lot of anti camping measures over the years though, in that regard bgs are in a pretty good state compared to what they were.
I wish there was a way to have a surrender option that wouldn’t be abused, especially for epic bgs
This is annoying. But in my experience it doesn’t happen to often.
There should be a minimum for the scaling, I feel bad for new players trying to gear up through battlegrounds.
It’s a straight up stomp like 95% of the time.
Legion PvP was pretty successful despite the templates, I wonder why they removed it.
At the very least, keep a ‘minimum’ scaling.
This post could have been written, word for word, in 2005.
That would probably solve the majority of complaints we see around here.
Was going to say the same thing-- This has always been a thing in bg’s. They haven’t done anything about it for all of these years, I highly doubt they will now.

It’s been 15 years but you’re welcome to try
I’ve done hundreds of unrated bgs. I know I have had this happen but it’s rare enough that I don’t really remember it.
As long as factions are balanced, I don’t really care because one day I’LL be doing the camping.
And if I’m constantly being spawn camped, I’d rather them equalize factions than ooooh now there’s an invisible graveyard fence!!
This shouldn’t happen or be allowed. There’s no reason to cater to people that feed on the misery of others. It’s clear the game was over when the camping started. Camping is only fine if they are actively running the flag. If not, the people on the camping team are nothing but bullies and should be suspended for it.
I don’t PVP for these reasons and the fact that it’s just harder to learn with gear being a factor. I’d PVP more if gear was normalized (i.e., a non-factor). However, because people need to feel empowered by smashing lower-geared character’s face in, this will never happen. Therefore, I’ll just stick with PVE. Less stress, no fuss.
As mentioned above, it’s unlikely something that will ever change, since they haven’t done anything about it n 15 years (yeah, I know, argumentum ad antiquitam).
Personally, I’ve always felt group queuing for random BGs should be disallowed, in large part because it is against the spirit of what random BGs are, and promotes things like GY camping, but they haven’t done anything about that either.
