I have queued 5 eots games in a row into premades. 2 days now I have been attempting to complete the daily quest, without a single chance to even play the game. There doesn’t seem to be much backlash on the forums. Could we push for a separation for premades from pugs?

Merc mode or same faction BGs would fix this

Premade vs premade added to the queue system would be better.

dont think merc mode has anything to do with premades, and would just kill the alliance faction altogether

Think about what those options would do to the alliance faction and realize why most of them would never want that to happen. The free limited time faction transfer from horde to alliance only is the way to go.

People been asking for premade vs premade since BGs launched.
Unfortunately Blizz hasn’t ever made a statement on it.
You could try and form your own premade in Trade Chat/World Chat just to get it done.

That’s called arenas. BGs should be random.

No we shall all suffer.
Horde get long queues.
Alliance have worse pugs.
Retail has merc mode. Go play that.

Do Horde are not the capacity to form a premade of their own?
Am I missing something here? Why can’t you just form a premade and own alliance pugs?
larger pool of total players to make a queue pop
Somehow this is bad for alliance
You guys are so cute. Your superficial petulance almost sounds logical until you think about for a quarter second.
Yeah, literally can’t play a BG without the other team being a premade.
Premades should only fight premades, it should have been this way for 15 years, #somechanges blah blah.

I feel you. At this point i dont even care about the queue times. Whats more frustrating is having to sit through several hours of queues only to get in and every time its an alliance premade vs pug. Did 5 wsg games yesterday everyone was a full stacked premade, managed to get 2 eots same scenario.
I can sit through hour queues just fine gives me time to farm finish out quests ect. But to constantly face premades because its insanely easy for alliance to do is just futile.

It’s not just Alliance premades. I play both factions and 9/10 times the other team is a premade regardless of what faction it is.
People are too afraid of fair fights, always have been, and now there are fewer BGs to pop it’s pretty much just neckbeards 24/7
Fair fights in WoW PvP don’t exist - never have.
You either roll players because of class imbalance or you roll people because of gear disparity - or vice versa.
Full PUG vs PUG matches in BGs have pretty much always been fair, what are you talking about?
Read my second sentence.
I played I’d guess around 30-40 BGs this weekend and only played against a premade once.
I think people in this thread are exaggerating the prevalence of premades in TBC BGs atm. The math don’t add up, judging from my own experience.
Regardless I do agree premades should prioritize against other premades. However, if there is no extra reward structure in place, this will just kill premades.
Private servers tried this and it always resulted in either A) No one queued premades as the honor per hour wasnt worth it, B)Premades got on discord and win traded, or C)People would exploit matchmaking to solo queue simultaneously and still end up matched with 8/10 of their team. Just like the alliance did in AV during classic.
lol, more like because they can’t deal with not having an unfair advantage
people in video games and MMO’s especially are such pansies, like if their character dies in a BG they think they will die IRL or something
