We’ve been BEGGING Blizzard for 18 years to give us the ability to queue up in casual pvp as a full 40 man premade. They stubbornly refuse to do it but all the through from WOD until this day the game is tilted to the point Alliance have 1 minute queues and Horde has 15+ minutes even with the racial boosts they gave Alliance to get more people to play. Casual PVP is not worth queuing for its so frustrating playing with players who have no PVP frame of reference much less bg mechanics. Alliance have ZERO PROBLEM getting 10 people into an Alterac Valley for example or IOC. Horde can’t get 10 in together. They promised us a return to WOD style PVP and there is NOTHING even slightly resembles WOD. In WOD Blizzard wanted our PVP community to attend Blizz-Con and compete against an Alliance Premade, but they decided the logistics were insurmountable. The technology exists today to do that. Allowing large scale premades would re-energize that part of WOW. Even in rated PVP, the R1 players are complaining it’s a waste of time to queue. If you are not already a R1 player you will never be under the current system. They have effectively squashed PVP. I’ve spent almost 19 years in this game in the PVP side of it (abhor PVE), including leading a 5K+ member PVP Community (Hydra Premades) that has nothing to do other than be frustrated. Blizzard doesn’t seem to lend any credence to what the player base has to say. Their psuedo Player committee for input were obviously not from the rank and file.
BTW: Hydra never dodged other premades. What we did do was dodge the snipers, the griefers, the people banned from the forums for offering to pay REAL money to snipe my main character. Hydra is the only PVP community that actually changed this game. Proof: check out the portals in the Alterac Valley start caves. They haven’t worked since Hydra farmed Alliance to 179 rage quits in one AV. Now we can’t even get a 10 man into a bg. Ruin can.
