I get why people like it…playing with friends blah blah. But honestly, nothing makes me want to play this game less than doing random bg’s only to be up against premade after premade, after premade. It absolutely ruins the entire point of battlegrounds.

I’m fine with premades in general, but the whole queue dropping and syncing deal needs to go.

Have you guys noticed that premade teams’ sizes seem to be shrinking lately? I’ve only seen one community running a full premade in Epic BGs, with 13 healers and 20 Boomkins/Hunters. I think members of premade communities also browse wow forums, and not all of them like the idea of 40-man premade.
If they downsized to 10-man groups, it would be a lot less frustrating. I totally get it if you prefer to play with 9 friends who will stick to your strategy, rather than beg for help in bg chat. Many random/epic bg players are worse than bots and their responses to your plan could be very toxic.
But honestly, why not just run a 5-man group? It’s perfectly legit and still gives you a huge advantage. A 5-man group on Discord can accomplish a lot in Epic BGs, and the best part is, you’re almost guaranteed to have raid lead, which lets you use raid warnings to share your plan with the entire team. You won’t need to ask a random person for raid lead just to get that access.
I’d bet you could achieve a 90% win rate with a 5-man group.

They should just make 5 man group and queue…
odds are they will be put with other 5 man groups from different communities.
which is why cross-faction is also needed to spread 5 man groups on both faction.
Premade communities will have to work together.

They could have 5 man groups and yall would still complain.
Its amazing the difference a few players can make in a ebg or bg. Most people do not pay attention to this, however as Ive said before… get more friends and que up together.
Or just make a rogue and hunt their leaders. Trust me they’re npcs.

Then get rid of the premades. If 5 players can win the majority of their matches, these groups of 15+ wouldn’t exist

Then let them do it.

Not true. Players are grouping up and having fun… AS IT SHOULD BE.
We should limit the raid sizes to 5 man groups for pve content… they shouldnt be allowed to work together to beat harder enemies.

By obliterating teams of uncoordinated, ungeared, probably casual players. Which you can apparently do with 5 people, which should make it more fun, right?
shouldn’t be allowed to work together to beat harder enemies
I really do not care what the people in premade guilds think about premades.

One of them are fighting NPC robots, the other are fighting paying customers.

Yet here we are.
I am not in a premade guild of any kind.
99% of all players and premade groups and anything else are casual players. We have jobs, people work, have lives, play some and get off. Simply grouping up with players to have fun and work together to win… if you cannot understand this then you are blind as a bat.
Instead of harassing players, perhaps encourage them in a match, help the pugs learn to fight harder and work together. I have defeated many premade groups with completely pug groups with nothing but random players.
It’s true that some players have both the ability and the willingness to lead PUG teams to beat premades, but not many can or would do it. And honestly, I doubt you’re one of them. I’ve played a lot of epic bgs, if you were, there’s no way I would overlook your name.

You know exactly what I mean by “casual”.
instead of harassing players
I’ve never harassed players in BGs.
Crazy thing is they may end up ruining it for everyone. Cross faction will happen. It’s just a matter of when. But worst case is they make it solo queue only or like Blitz you can queue with a healer or something. These communities and their exploits and queue syncing are basically going to ruin it for everyone.

There’s a solution already to this: BG blitz.
They premade that also. Even use an add on

If you can really tell a queue pop with the addon then ya, it can facilitate Blitz sync.
Any evidence of this?
Good five group would wreck in most EBGs with no need for the rest of the nonsense.
Good leads would even get respect for making good calls, surrounded by their personal guard/strike team, without falling back on a queue sync.
