Re watching the Rukieee video, soo strange that the que system locks up, and at the same time Big Wigs make videos saying NO cheating here.
It stinks of damage control, covering their rears lol.

So many people who donât know what is going on on blitz (or BGâs for that matter)
I donât think it is premades (or streamers doing something under the books - they just play all day for a living so can climb up).
Strangely with the workaround to get into rated blitz atm most people seem to know what they are doing and how to play a bg (I guess casuals have not worked it out) - it is actually a good comp to play even at lower mmr levels. So I blame the random people who queue into Blitz who have no clue what they are doing. Canât blame them - blizzard made it easy.
I think Blitz should just be made a brawl or some other mode where they donât earn rating only conquest. Give back the RBGâs to the players who enjoy forming teams against others (like at the start of SL)
Been stuff like this before where streamers get caught doing something and they make videos saying they are not involved or take a two week break and when they come back they for some reason are playing real bad or on a new character/account.
There was this thing with botting years ago that Twitch cracked down on and a whole bunch of streamers took two week breaks coming back to significantly lower viewers.

Blizzard spent a ton of resources making the new pvp mode, to think they were not keeping an eye on itâŚ
Classic wow launched and ALL big streamers moved to classic, and everything in that game became pay to win boosting. BG Blitz, that 1600 token was just too irresistible, considering its also used for PvE raid gear. The rmt boosters flooded the lower backets turning it into a nightmare.
Its runs off players, and ruins the game mode, cost the game players and subs⌠Pretty sure Blizzard will fix things making it harder for the bad actors.
Yeah. Theres a short video from piratesoftware (Thor) regarding ban waves back when he worked at blizzard. He said they used to sit around and laugh at all the people who would cry on 3rd party forums about being banned unfairly.

It always is!!! Next day your guild is forming up for RBGs, uhhh wheres this guy and that guy, they are never late lol. Then the most fun part, sprinkling salt.
I find it sad that someone would pay for a 1600 token. I got one on 2 toons in full honor gear. First one was my shaman after 1 day as resto, saving all my conquest for enhance gear, and then yesterday I got one on my mw monk (without carrying a single flag). I started playing mw on Sunday Australian time.

Alot of raiders do not like PvP, but the 1600 token is a quick power up, because their performance in their raid guild is important to them.
By flooding the lower brackets with Multi Glad skilled players who just power stomp farm the players. Kinda like extortion, you cant get an easy 1600, and at the same time the advertisements are everywhere.
the MoP and WoD ban waves were pretty crazy, millions of accounts banned for botting and many guilds losing top raiders because they were botting to farm herbs and minerals to make gold.

I remember that, was endless laughs!
The problem I think we still have, is last I knew just the wow account was banned, not the battlenet account itâs tied to. If this is still the case, there is zero incentive to stop botting, rmting, and just general scummy behaviour.
I actually seen someone using the old school bot from MoP in Temple of Kotmogu BGB.
Every time the bot would rez it would run perfectly east or west depending on the corner from the GY then make a keyboard slow 90 degree turn to go through the opening in the wall then make a 90 degree turn once through to head to the stairs leading down to the middle and run through then doing those 90 degree turns would work itâs way around to go through the middle making figure eights around until an enemy would attack it. when attacked it would dismount hitting a spell to attack the enemy targeting it but would stop moving at that point and not do much else until killed.

Iâm not surprised honestly. The sad thing is, it doesnât take long to get a full set of honor gear. A few hours in bgâs and you are in full honor gear. If you have the gold you can get all the crafted stuff so itâs not as bad, but it really isnât that bad without it, yes you are going to get rolled, you just have to be a bit more careful regarding placement.
âHardcoreâ folks can still do RBGs. The more casual pvpers are enjoying Solo BG. The only issue, dedicated RBG teams will mostly fight similar Teams that play together on coms and are organized, and wont see yolo no coms groups in RBGs.

1700s in RBGs right now are HELLA Sweaty!!! Iâm talkin Locker room mildew gear hanging sweaty lol.
WoW PvP will normalize when all the BIG WIGS go back up high in the clouds 2700 ratings where they all belong lol.
One of the best thing about Blitz, gutting the most toxic community in WoW.

Itâs still there, Itâs no oneâs fault but their own that no one wants to play with them.

The thought that people get upset because players are given an option on which content theyâd like to do is crazy. âMostâ people donât have the luxury of being able to form a regular team that plays at a designated time consistently. So their options are, get farmed by people who play wow 10 hours a day with people theyâve played with for years while they are in a pug, or they can queue with in theory a bunch of randoms against a bunch of randoms and have a better shot at winningâŚhmmm I wonder why the standard mode is dying.

When Blizzard fixes the queue system, its going to solve many of the current problems.
