I understand that, but what does that have to do with anything about what I said with there always being rules to make something as fair as possible, regardless of how small or large that thing may be?
The stakes of those rules will change depending on the brevity and intensity of the competition, but there are always rules in place with competitive play.
I don’t think you actually understood my initial point. You should go back and reread it lol
Or don’t. I’m sure the outcome will be the same either way
And there are several blue posts against premades in randoms, so I’m not sure what the point is other than people are unwilling to look at anything that doesn’t further their points here.
As has been pointed out above, Blizzard’s inconsistency on the matter warrants them making a revised statement, at the very least.
I guess I really have to break this down further for you. Try following along this time.
This part is not true. There are not always rules to make something as fair as possible. This thread is proof of that. Fairness is often disregarded in favor of other things, like fun, community, etc.
You don’t even know what your point is or you are failing to communicate it. Take your pick.
And when that sort of thing occurs, it is often communicated as much.
As far as I’m concerned, Blizzard hasn’t communicated anything about premades not being actioned because they believe it’s more fun that way. In fact, they’ve more often stated that premades in randoms make it not fun, which is why you can’t do a single queue with a premade.
So unless you have insider information and are about to drop a massive bombshell on this entire thread, that is literally just an assumption; one that you have put forth as fact without anything to back it up
If you want a competitive BG mode you can do with friends, do I have news for you! It’s called rated BGs and they came out in Cata. Now you and your friends can go make teams and play against other coordinated teams competitively! If that is what really matters to you, of course.
Aw thank you! I do have my moments. Perhaps you can tell all your friends about rated BGs. You don’t even need a fancy addon or any tricks to bypass anything, you can just make teams and go do them!
Questioning my real-life experience is just a long-winded way of admitting that you don’t actually have anything worthwhile to add to the conversation. Thanks for confirming to us our suspicions that you’re just a deeply unserious person
This had literally nothing to do with what I said LOL. Nice try interjecting your own false interpretations into the discourse. It was certainly a worthwhile attempt.
As I’ve already said, they’re gonna stick to random BGs Kate. Thank you though.
Nope, it’s my way of saying that you don’t have any idea what you’re talking about because you are inexperienced with the topic, which is why, drumroll, no one is taking you seriously.
You’re lost at sea my friend. You can’t even follow your own ideas. I can see why you’ve failed to convince. Please, read things:
Do I need to walk you through this entire conversation with kitten gloves?
In fact, my whole point is that they contradict themselves.
It’s not irrelevant. They explicitly state the reason why was because they don’t want premades in randoms. They even suggested that premades do rated BGs instead.
Blizzard didn’t state “We did this because third party software is against TOS.”
They stated “We did this because we don’t want premades in randoms, as it ruins the experience for everyone else.”
It is. Read the quotes again. I’m not going to spoonfeed you lol
If Blizzard is on record stating that premades make the game worse for others pugging in randoms, then yes, it does need to be said.
Especially in the face of decisions that flagrantly go against that design philosophy.
You mean the spiral you keep spinning yourself into because you can’t actually argue a single original, coherent point?
