Apparently you aren’t allowed to do epic battle grounds without being in a pre made group. Which one(s) should I avoid applying to and why? I play both Alliance and Horde.

They’re all the same. Just be ready to abandon logic, self-awareness, and whatever else it takes to justify farming pugs as a raid to yourself, lol.

I thought they all fight each other, no? My last two wintergrasps were premade versus premade… I think lol. I don’t think Blizzard puts solo players against groups?
They’ve run off a lot of the solo/pug players and are now unintentionally running into each other more often.
Unfortunately, they do, which is exactly why these groups exist in the first place. They abuse Blizzard’s queue system to funnel in full raids (clearly unintended) for the sole purpose of farming pugs.

Don’t stoop so low as to play with Que synchers. Go play rated or random bgs. Keep your integrity.

Premades can be a lot of fun. I considered myself a pug for many years, now I enjoy running with a couple of premades because doing objectives and having strategies are so much more fun then just zerg zerg to boss or fighting in chat. They do not intentionally pug stomp but prefer to get in and out if they are just destroying pugs. Thats not to say that there is not intense competition and some dislike for each others communities. It is social and fun. Find and join one that fits your style.

Oh stop, sync exploiters do exactly what “pugs” do. They only rush the one good objective and the rush the boss all the time. Get off that high horse.

I stand by what I said. No high horse just facts as I know them.
Maybe you should go learn what a fact is. Opinions are not facts. Sync exploiters only do what they do because they can’t win actual fair fights. If they could they would play the modes made for what they claim they want. But you guys don’t, you exploit randoms for free easy wins and do exactly what you claim pugs do.

When did this change happen? Just came back after quitting mid shadowlands for the increased drop rate thing and this wasnt happening then, and outside of that the only thing I think is fun are epic bgs. I think I had one solo match all day, and I could only tell because both teams had max 4 healers lol.
This stinks honestly. I hope something is done about it, but I don’t get much time to play so who is most active?
Join all of them.

I would try them all. Go and do epics and ask around. If you find a group you like ask, hey is there a community?

I guess thats an option. I really just thought they fought each other and that was that. But I’ll give it a go thanks.
But any recommendations for either side? Thats kind of why I made this thread lol I dont wanna get suckered into the wrong crowd
I start invites for my crew in 45 mins. We are Davey Jones Locker, we are listed in community finder as Davey Jones Locker 3, the cross faction box is important to check, we play as Horde. Battleground Commander add on is required. We use disc for strat and goofing off. A good number of us are a bunch of old fart stoners. We aren’t sweaty, we don’t give up, and we play every night. We have the most fun on either side, it is known.

TY, I don’t really like talking much in voice chat (I have to talk all day, every day for work (sales…) lol) so hopefully thats okay. When I get home I’m a total zombie but I still normally land in the top 3-4 for damage or 1-2 for healing. I will apply anyway.
Does anybody know if there are any plans to separate queues for the big premade fights and just solo queue people? I see topics about it on the forums a lot but nothing really gets said so I have stopped wasting time reading those.
Kinda glad I didn’t go for the bundle month subscription options now lol
Like many others, I’ve stopped queuing for epic BGs because of it. If I remember correctly, Ruthless Renegades used to sync queue epics like it was their full-time job. Not sure if that’s still the case, but it’s probably a good place to start if you’re serious about joining one of these pug-farming communities. They all present themselves as the ‘better’ premade on the forums, just take everything they say with a mountain of salt and you should be fine, lol. Good luck

As of right now, no, Blizzard seems content to let them keep driving players away, unfortunately.

I avoid them all and suggest everyone do the same.

I mean if they are unavoidable I guess I’d rather be with one than on the receiving end. Everything seems to have changed lol. Vehicle epic bgs need some desperate attention though. My boomie took out an entire deployment of demos with one fury of elune and a little starfall ._.
Are they Horde or Alliance? If they’re a giant group there are probably more below-average pvpers so I can imagine fights being a little closer? Not that I’m to talk I don’t really touch rated or arena.
Why are there so many now? Kinda bummed though it would be so rad if they had their own bracket
Sorry for the load of questions things are just so different now!
No, they actively dodge each other and refuse to fight fair fights. Don’t believe the lies.
