Premade problem

[Akatsüki-stormrage]

Except nothing we do is against ToS.

Blizzard said so

[Akatsüki-stormrage]

They queued into a ruin premade in AV late last week and haven’t seen them since. They got wiped at galv and all of the SAS people left the BG.

[Krestan-bloodscalp]

that is true. people left.

Right, so I don’t have a problem with premades nor do I have a problem with people who choose to play on Tich. The thing with that realm in particular is that it is a very high populated realm. I think it’s the most populated realm at this time. This isn’t to say they don’t make premades either, they do. However, it’s most likely you’re just gonna get paired with/against 5+ Tich players because they are a high populated server and is also a very PvP centric server.

inemia and snowcrest?

I see Cinco doing 10 man premades now (the guy that ran inemia’s group)

it’s actually hilarious that joker and I can beat them 2v10

A blue post in some thread on GD. This was back in late BFA so I’m not even sure where or if the thread is still up.

Just because 5 people are from tich doesn’t mean it’s a premade lmao

you can tell by heal targets. outsiders are rarely ever healed. it’s not foolproof but it’s the way to tell 99% of the time.

[Akatsüki-stormrage]

Feel free to believe what you want.

I’ll just say there’s a reason Blizzard doesn’t care about people premading in epics, via that specific blue post.

Wanna also say that if it was an issue they wouldn’t have added raid queuing back into wrath classic for bgs.

[Tidepodzxo-moon-guard]

Now you’re just making stuff up

[Akatsüki-stormrage]

I’m not, but isn’t my job to convince the unwashed masses that premading isn’t against the rules.

Also weren’t you bowing out of the thread or something? Could’ve sworn I saw that earlier in the thread.

Blizzard has stated:

@Kangmurloc-dark-iron

I’ll try to break it down as clearly as I can:

Any addon that enables a full, organized Battleground group to queue against a randomly assembled group is creating a scenario where that coordinated group has a huge advantage. That is not in the spirit of the experience we want to provide in the normal Battleground queue. Playing with friends is fun and important, but it shouldn’t come at the expense of the spirit of the game nor the fun of others.

The normal Battleground queue is for players to jump in and play against other players in a similar situation. We realize that it’s not a perfect system, and we’re still looking at ways to improve normal Battleground queues further. Regardless, it’s not meant for organized groups to “pug stomp” and get quick Honor. We have built in outlets for players that want to organize–if a competitive, social experience was really the goal, then there are clear ways to achieve that.

The ultimate effect that this kind of queuing has had is to drive players away from PvP. Perhaps it’s been a long time since you’ve been in a random group, but a lot of players will see that they’re up against a premade and simply quit. At best, they suffer through it. To an extent premade groups count on this. Heck, one of the popular addons announces opposing players that appear to have rage quit.

Addons aren’t really a viable solution for botting issues, but we do take those issues seriously and we’ll continue our work on improvements to the Battleground system, including better ways to deal with botting and other exploitative gameplay.

[Akatsüki-stormrage]

Yes, again because some of you are slow, that post deals with addons that allow people to auto queue in game.

Nothing about people queuing together in 5 mans to roll the dice that they get into the same bg.

No one in any epic community, outside of SAS from what I heard, uses addons to sync queue. They use discord, which Blizzard can’t police.

Hope this helps.

[Banjofrog-emerald-dream]

If you guys are so skilled besides just stomping pugs, what about wargames?

I imagine bri would be down, could probably drag some other bg people (non sync queuers).

[Akatsüki-stormrage]

Again, what is the difference between some of these negative nancies stomping pugs in randoms and people stomping pugs in epics?

There isn’t one. Only difference is the epic players aren’t the ones bringing up skill and mud slinging.

I play 6 different characters and I see as many premades pug stomping in random bgs as I do in epics

[Tidepodzxo-moon-guard]

You know that’s right

[Banjofrog-emerald-dream]

I’m saying an even match of premade vs premade. Wargames still exist and can be a fun way to compete on an even level.

@Akatsüki-stormrage

epic players aren’t the ones bringing up skill and mud slinging.

@Dotlom-wyrmrest-accord

Sorry you’re below average. Maybe you’d prefer a casual graveyard farming sim, instead?

[Dotlom-wyrmrest-accord]

That priest started it! They probably cast penance as an offensive, too!
