Can someone explain why I am being put in Aussie server groups in every bg I join? 2 second delay makes pvp impossible. Is there a way to opt-out of playing with non-US servers? I’d rather wait twice as long for a bg pop if it meant I could actually play the game without massive delay on everything

Wait that’s a thing? >.>
Yeah I’ve been put in a Frostmourne (aussie) server group in 8/10 bgs I’ve tried to do today. You can filter this in pve by just not inviting people from those servers. But I can’t pick and choose who I play with in a random bg

Yes there is a reason. I can explain. You Are playing overnight (this is Oceanic Server primetime and dead time for US Realms). Therefore as Alliance you have a astronomical chance of being grouped with them over a US realm as there are more of them Qing than US realms.
Sadly the only way to TRY avoid playing with them is to play a Horde. But thats a crap shoot.
Hope this explains it for you. Its a nontrolling 100% truthful answer

No, Blizzard won’t ever allow you to filter out certain servers because that would make you/them a bigot or something. Nm the fact you might have a legit reason (ping, language barrier.)

I’m queueing on my Horde rogue, not Alliance
Beat you to it Tovi. Explained it in detail above for the OP.
Nice seeing you again btw
This Warlock speaks the truth. It’s a timezone thing…

Then it sounds its going to be sadly same scenario. There are just more Oceanic Players on atm than US players. Its simple math. But playing as Horde overnight is not wise. Alliance Oceanic players are PVP junkies and are FAR better at it than Horde. Overnight is my main playtime. Its also the only time of day Alliance spam win or at least my groups do.
Its why I wont touch random BG Qs until after 2am EST. Anytime after that it flips from an Auto Loss to an Auto win for Alliance
It’s not 2 second delay it’s 340 MS or lower, PVP isn’t impossible the Race to region first was done in wrath back when oceanics didn’t have servers located in oceania wich meant your average teams raid response time was around 400+ even through the use of VPN’s
World of warcraft isn’t CSGO you will manage, It’s only Basic BG’s not Rated
i was just about to say this after looking up and seeing this was posted 8min ago… look at the time, lol. i’m central and it’s almost 3:30am… pvp during the day-evening hours! =]
Not really. I wasn’t explaining why he was seeing people from across the pond. I was addressing this:

Wish that were an option, but I work second shift so I’m up during the night
Like I said above Q as Alliance instead. Even on your Horde. Just go to the PvP guy is Dal and Q as Ally. Spam win
may god have mercy on your soul then, heh.
/ makes the sign of the cross to you
godspeed. =]
Guess that’s my only option then. Thanks all

No way! Oceanic Alliance dominate pvp. During the day/night for EST Alliance win 30%
That flips overnight. At this time of night we win 75%! Best time for random BGs!

It is. Speak to the pvp guy and Q as Alliance and just enjoy your free wins.
Horde will start winning again at 9-10am EST. Thats when it flips back
At least you will win with bad ping instead of lose. Which is tolerable

If its any consolation, it’s the same here in the EU. After about 1am (UK time) it’s pointless doing group content unless you are fluent in several Eastern European languages, although the ping isn’t quite as bad as what you seem to get. Good luck
