Should we nip this in the bud too? (Battlegrounds)

“Couldn’t take it on my cuddly pve server” :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: you admit you’re Horde on a dominant horde pvp server

You should probably re-roll Horde on Heartseeker.

Are you saying you can’t hack solo BGs? I’ll be able to as I have the last 14 years I’ve played.

It happened in Vanilla, why would it not happen in Classic? Would this be another thing that Blizzard changes?

I wouldn’t mind them changing the honor system of the officer ranks to be rating based in BGs instead of the crapshow we have now. That would make the game better for everyone. The premades would have to use skill and strategy instead of ruining their lives playing 24/7 and pugs can actually have a chance at winning every match.

That and a temporary buff to BwL to make it challenging as it was intended to be. The buff would go away once AQ40 comes out.

Well yea, think about poor Shamish.

Fair enough. I know it wasn’t in early vanilla since my (alliance character’s) pre-made always had pugs who AFK’d out, but that at some point my horde character saw 5-man premades almost every game due to the rule change.

Maybe I’ll go look up when they did that.

if you spent half as much time missing people’s points and being an idiot on forums as you did leveling your cuddly pve alli warlock, maybe you’d be 60 by now.

Don’t feed the troll.

I mean, my very first toon was 44 on Alliance Grob with some other forum posters. Then I did that pve one. Then my husband started playing so I re-rolled my alliance grob to horde. But keep focusing your bad pvp skills on my level :joy:

How am I a troll exactly?

I don’t know why me being up front about this is being scorned upon. Just about EVERYONE will be doing this after the first week of being farmed at the graveyard. You folks speak as if you’ve never played battlegrounds before. You want to report me, go ahead, but you’d be cherry picking out 1 guy (for whatever reason) vs hundreds of others doing the exact same thing.

Ahhh I found part of it: https://wow.gamepedia.com/Patch_2.4.0

Battleground matchmaking for premades has been tightened, so it is more likely that a premade will meet a group with similar gear. This can result in longer queue times for premades.

Don’t feel like looking for when the 5man queues went into effect; all I saw were comments from Ghostcrawler and X’d off the page.

Well, with all that said, I’m fine with whatever. Blizzard likely won’t change the queues from what they originally were, and that’s fine for me.

Is also somewhat relevant.

  1. I have never AFK’d in a BG (I have typed it to get out though, lol.)
  2. I have reported many AFKers.

It’s not about you specifically.

Well no, that was 7 years ago.

I said it was relevant, not that it furthered any argument. The fact that it was 7 years ago and patch 5.1 says plenty.

Thanks though, captain obvious.

Nothing to do with Classic though.

BC and above.

Careful, they say it’s relevant.

Yes, I know. I’m posting it to show the history of things and why it probably won’t be in Classic.

Just like I said above…it proves that these functions weren’t in Classic.

If you’d rather be hopelessly spawn camped, and somehow enjoy that, you go ahead. Most others want matches where they have a chance. Since there’s a 15m lockout if you leave… it’s either bounce to a 2nd BG (which will also be VERY common), or AFK in corner until they end the match almost as fast as it started (which they will do whether you fight or not). You don’t get any honor for dying fyi. You have to get kills, and this almost never happens with geared premades.

“AFKing from the GY cause you can’t do anything is different than AFKing from the start. I won’t blame you for doing that.”
But that’s exactly what I was talking about in the first place.

I knew you were dense, but…

Are you arguing it’s not relevant? It’s pretty easy to see why it’s relevant.

Nice job trying to get groupies, though; I don’t even understand why you’re arguing with me.
