Epic battlegrounds are no longer pvp, they are just /lfr that sometimes have other players as enemies. Autowins from boss kill completely negates and concept of pvP. Some might complain that makes them take longer, but they are supposed to be EPIC battlegrounds, not a 5 minute boss rush lfr. Ive been in AV games with not a single hk on either side the entire match. ZERO pvp in battleground. Remove the autowins from boss kills and make epic battelground pvP instead of lfr.
It’s a tough balance of concerns.
AV got turned into the sprintfest it is today because a lot of people doing bgs are just farming honor, so they queue for whatever is the best honor farm which left AV kind of dead at the time.
But now it’s just not fun anymore.
Wow players have this bad habit of doing what is effecient even if they don’t enjoy it and I think it confuses the devs sometimes and they end up optimizing the fun out of their own game because they are following engagement metrics.
