horrible change, nobody asked for this. I’d rather have no glad than play on 200ping. Arena is borderline unplayable on 200ping beta. How can these ppl be so out of touch

This is a terrible change. OCE is more than large enough to have its own battlegroup. No one in OCE wants 300+ ping and no one in NA wants 300+ ping either. OCE would rather have worse queue times than play with unbearable ping.
The BG queues are not even any better!!
No one asked for this. This is a solution in search for a problem.

you are aware Australia has some of the worst Internet infrastructure of developed nations worldwide, and are going to suffer catastrophic latency as a result of this move, right?

Have you lost your mind Blizzard? You gave us OCE servers years ago for a reason ffs

Most amazing thing when you’re excited to be competitive in arena with decent ping, then Blizzard trolls the oceanic community with this garbage blanket-fix for queues.
Who else but Blizzard!

there is no prio at the moment, was recently in a WSG where 9/10 horde were OCE, and 8/10 alliance were OCE
yet the server was still NA, was blatantly obvious and felt horrible.

Absolutely no one asked or wanted this. Making OCE players play with 150-300 ping shatters any hope to compete with US players. Terrible change, turns me off playing PvP completely.

I was the only oceanic player in a AV just then, 209ms up from 12ms
I remember when blizz first did this when we had oceanic servers. There was a priority system in arena, Would look for oceanic players for X amount of mins, then US:E then US:W etc. Is this going to be the case now, if its just plan merged with no oceanic vs oceanic prio, you have just killed arena for oceanic players

they’ve literally killed the game for pvpers on oce with this change.
200+ ms with no batching isnt competitive and definitely doesnt improve the quality of our games.
give us our own battlegroup, we would rather the longer ques.

Blizzard has effectively drowned out the feral druids with this issue. Well done.
