BlizZard doesn’t encourage full premades but they will not do anything it if happens sporadically.
For example that full premade of dwarves that role play and are a guild that mount up in the middle of AV with the war elephants.
But other premades that run full premades non stop everyday are disrupting multiple instances when they decline multiple instance queues causing 3-4 instances to be short on players while they enter a full game as a full premade.
Where are these solo players that only do world content asking for the “bis gear”? I am not one.
I think solo content that is difficult absolutely should award good gear/rewards/ect.
I enjoy difficult content sometimes if the reward is amazing but, I do not enjoy the challenge generally thus I rarely do anything difficult in the game.
Idk how you could dislike a person based on the fact that they make or demand as you said requests for that kind of content. You lost me on that.
The first mistake anyone with critical thinking skills would avoid unless you like silliness and chaos. english < xD
The game is only doing delves because the player base is low now. This is a low effort way to “help” patch the giant hole. I’m curious…do we have to buy a new xpac a year the next three years? lmfao yikes.
Someone so smart, this is a dumb take. I know world content is brain dead.
I think difficulty is relative to the character’s progression. I don’t measure difficulty based on a fully optimized character. Challenges are hidden everywhere in the game.
Some in outdoor world (World bosses and Elite areas) and some in casual content, especially in PVP because the challenge come from who you are facing.
The “exploit” is to all queue in the same time and hoping you’re put in same battleground. How do you propose they prevent players from hitting a button at the same time?
The reality is there is difficult content and there is easy content. Just because someone is bad at the game and struggles with easy content doesn’t make it hard content.
You honestly think top tier players play at 100% in random BGs?
It doesn’t take a full team to stomp pugs.
Been in 3 man teams with my threes team and annihilated people in WSG.
The majority of the playerbase in BGs are either bots or awful at the game.
On what grounds? Should these people be expected to dig for this 12 year old engadget article and then make assumptions that it means they should be banned, or do you just think your take on whether or not this is an ‘exploit’ is the end all be all?
I think it is a partial solution, and right now the least likely thing they could do.
They really need something to watch for the issue and catch people in my opinion as they are exploiters (no matter what pedantic dancing the peanut gallery puts forth). The best solution given what these people are doing is to catch them and punish them in my opinion.
That said there are plenty of tweaks that should be added to BGs anyway to have more balanced games so hopefully some of those will be included. I think matched groups is a great way to go, but would likely slow queuing for groups…but it would also likely have less 5 mans per run which I think would be a good thing as well.
RBGs really should be more random and less coordinated given we have a coordinated game mode already.
It’s a balance though. I wonder what the metric look like when you compare solid games that were competitive to blow outs vs a slower queue system. Maybe on net it might be closer than we think. Hard to say without the internal data.
Blizzard really just needs to start talking about it. That is at the extreme root of the issue here. Start discussing the problems openly with the community again.
