Should they apply Rated Rules to non-rated content?

Keep the toys but make it premade vs premade.

I just found what you were referring to. Yea, looks like by adding more mods they want to make random more sandbox/chaotic allowed.

@Kaivax

Over the years, we put tight restrictions on these to minimize disruption. We felt this was especially important during a time when the solo battleground player did not have alternative forms of content if the chaotic and sandboxy nature of unrated battlegrounds became too overwhelming.

Now, with a variety of game modes to pick from and a much narrower gap in power disparity between players, we want to take an opportunity to review this philosophy.

What is ironic is that in their change to make the consumables easier to acquire they put nearly all of them on the same 5 minute cooldown which actually makes consumable usage less impactful in the random BGs.

Wild dragon fruit and pest fogger used to be on very short cooldowns and didn’t share cooldowns, for example.

It makes for choosing your 5min cd really situational. Even shares a CD with engineer helm.

Saltwater potions aren’t expensive. Randos are where people go to learn, sometimes they need to do more damage to feel like they’re not wasting their time. It’s also where other people go to play for fun. Leave the restriction on rated sweaty stuff.

I want to be able to use my transmorpher beacon in epic BGs at the start before the gates open.

Also, I don’t mind consumables being useable in BGs, they’ve always been useable for the most part and it seems silly to worry over it, random BGs are just there to have fun in or achievements.

Speaking of epics, if we were to apply these proposed rules there then we’d have to get rid of Ashran entirely.
