Why do we have cross-realm BG's?

Seems like the root of all this discord premade/long queue none sense.

There’s nothing wrong with running premades.

The long queue is a result of idiots rolling on a grossly overpopulated imbalanced faction, because they want to be in “the dominant faction” further contributing to the problem.

If you don’t like versing premades or having long queues the solution is simple, roll the opposite faction, enjoy the isnta queues and premade games, while knowing your actions actually helped contribute to a more healthier balanced factions.

Cross realm sucks, but it isn’t the cause of any of this.
Faction imbalance is, people need to stop rolling on the overpopulated faction just because they think it means their on the “winning” team.

I don’t disagree with premades. It’s the cross-realm factor causing problems on the individual realms for BOTH factions. Other realms problems with faction imbalance shouldn’t be my realms problem.

That’s not how it works.

It works like this

LOTS OF HORDE = BIG QUEUE FOR HORDE
NOT MUCH ALLIANCE = QUICK GAMES FOR ALLIANCE

You understand if 40 alliance queue and 120 horde queue, that means 40 alliance get in 40 horde get in and 80 horde sit in queue waiting for another 40 alliance.

It’s simple maths, anyone with the smallest amount of consciousness understands, but the no shoe, mud hutter zug zug still don’t get it.

It’s not cross realms fault, its the fault of all the horde that rolled on an imbalanced faction when they knew damn well there was an overpopulation problem.

Most of us get it, its why some of us rerolled.

Then however, the next level thought is ‘wait, PvP is really just AV afk farming anyway’ and then the existential question hits.

‘Why am I rerolling just to farm AV…’

because crossrealm was in the most retail version of vanilla, that makes it the best, we’re all here for retail right?

Because in a couple months av rankers will have moved on and most people will be queuing warsong gulch and arathi basin for fun/rep rewards, and alliance will still be getting insta queues for wsg/ab while the horde are stuck in their 1 hour queues.

Because we’re in patch 1.12 with gated content.

REALLY?!?! That is seriously your take away from all the forums drama?

Without X-realm queues would be longer for BOTH factions, so knock that crap right out of your argument.

Sure there is, forming a pre-made is for ONE purpose, to break the system so you can farm more honor, faster, because many of you dorks need your virtual dolly to have higher numbers when you chat in a capital .

Just stop with the “I hate x-realm because it won’t allow me to be a big fish in a small pond…BLAH…BLAH…Asmongold and streamers ruined the GAME!!”

some servers have 0 faction counterparts to play against because of the griefing lol. But we had battlegrounds in vanilla, was like 5 servers or so per grp.

If there was no x-realm, than alliance would still be getting insta queues, it makes no difference.

Imagine thinking their is a problem with organizing to make a stronger comp, the absolute state of horde :rofl:

“hey you guys working together are CHEATERS” :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Get a life horde, you got time for one now with those horrible queues :rofl:

WRONG! Some servers would have much longer queues as the Alliance is the dominant faction AND overall longer across the board because the pool of participants would be MUCH smaller at any given time.

As far as queues, when it got over 5 minutes I started working on my Alliance toons, not a biggie.

You stay in pre-mades, YOU probably NEED to be carried by a highly organized group. Like Twinks, those that premade don’t want competition they just want to accumulate points (HKs, Honor) that they didn’t earn, so when people examine their Dollys so they can play internet tough guy.

on my server the alliance out number us, it’d be great!

I love it when people afk farm in AV and then talk about what a waste of time AV is.

Like, youre the reason why lol.

No, you are wrong.

Outside of individual realms, the queue time would be similar to alliance and horde.

Also, long queue times are a GOOD thing; it manages the faction balance.

With CRBGs, you’ll get servers full of Horde. Then you’ll get other realms full of Alliance. Never a good faction balance. At least when it was server only, people had to self-regulate for the trade off of quick BG queue times vs. world dominance.

The only thing CRBGs really do is allow for people to AFK/bot/account share their way to rank 14 since this allows for quick games even during off-times. During server only BGs, you had to win during primetime 'cause you can’t “make up for it” by playing 24/7

Premades are part of the system. And I don’t know why people are arguing about them here. You’d still have premades if BGs were server only.

If it is Hearseeker, the math says 3000 horde get insta queues and 4000 of the 7000 alliance sit and wait.

Oh give me a break. if it was horde-only premades you people would be losing your damn minds.
