I was so excited to see more testing… until…
- Groups will be restricted to a maximum of 5 players when joining the queue.
WHY? Why not make it so it’s Premade vs Premade?? Those of us who have been premading in teams since the start of classic BGs will now have to break up and have pugs? This is upsetting for both sides of horde and ally. This is redic.
Obviously Devs don’t know a single thing about the culture of BGs. The ONLY reason I started playing this game in vanilla was for the BGs.
The Merc option is amazing and I love it. This 5 person thing is a massive step back.
Let people be as sweaty as they want to be in a space they can be sweaty. You will lose a lot of people over the premade thing. Way more than the merc thing.
Put up or shut up. PvP servers in TBC Classic are 60/40 Horde. Vanilla Classic, when I actually created my characters, was a different story. Oh, and I’m on a PvE server.

Can we just keep this change forever. No need to turn it off In a week… Just going to have to wait a month for it to be reenabled again.

Restricting groups even more than you already have is absurd. I should be able to queue into AV with 40, and it’s bad enough that I can’t. Frankly, this would solve the Horde’s issue by allowing them to premade just as easily as Alliance.
Instead, you plan to limit ALL battlegrounds to a max of 5? Okay, so premading BGs at all is dead. Great. Terrible, TERRIBLE decision. Coordination and grouping should be ENCOURAGED in an MMO.
Also, rewarding unrelated resources for winning BGs is a terrible idea. You’re either going to make it not rewarding enough, or you’re going to make it too rewarding and a bunch of non-PvPers are going to do it to farm gold and make the experience worse for Alliance (only Alliance since only they get these benefits).
What they really want is more honor, Blizzard. The time it takes to get gear is ridiculous if you are not premading, and you’re KILLING THAT, so it will be even worse than it is now. You need some incentive to play Alliance instead of Horde, and the occasional stack of Super Healing Potions from winning a BG is not going to do it.

of course you’re one of the oceanic pricks who forced an almost even server to become 35-65, not surprised you care only for yourself
Woa there guy, turn down the hyperbole a notch or two.
Just because you choose not to believe theres a competitive scene for bgs doesnt make you right. Also if people want to run them to maximize honor and they spend the time and effort into running a premade then let them.

While I agree there should be a 15 v 15 premade button still there, don’t act like premades were anything but to maximise honor gains.
I started playing in TBC. No clue what you are playing about mate.
Reading the replies on this post reaffirmed my belief that the biggest problem with WoW is the players.

LMFAO no one uses wowhead as a metric since it requires people to manually use something from their website for the player to count. Where as ironforge pro comes from logs, and is significantly more accurate. Are you kidding me right now?
No my point has been proven and you just proved me right.
Its literally the most trash incentive they could have offered alliance so why would horde complain. They got the massively better outcome and assuming alli can somewhat play fair games to even net a win, the loot offers are trash. I don’t see a repeatable quest handing out primals with a win. most likely something like 4 netherweave cloth per win or 1 elixer worth 2-4g on most servers…

ngl how the heck do you still have that name and not be flagged lol.
Seriously your name is 2 nsfw fetishes, how did you not get reported.
They really don’t know or care how this game is played. We could all win here if they just make a separate queue for groups of 6 or more and another for solos and groups of 5… Thats the most obvious path forward yet they wont do it because they have no common sense.

Give all Alliance who pvp a token for dual spec. Horde will still be fine with this. We quite literally just want to play the game and pvp. No horde are trying to gatekeep the game.

tbh id prefer if they just make a battle pass so you are put to the front of the queue over non-battle pass users
is part of the faction imbalance problem
“no I’m not!”
like i said, get over yourself
