BG queue system issue, asking for administrator response

[Ratty]

Fucking joke to do this unannounced while people are mid ranking. Those who are rank 12 and 13 now have two choices; pug 24 hours a day or sit in 30 min queues 24 hours a day.

30 minute queues means we're not even playing the game for over half the time we are logged in, how is that fun?

All the pugs who are crying, remember no one was born into a premade, we all played pug games until we were geared enough to join a group. While i was a pug i regularly got bent over by the alliance premades, it's part of the game until you're geared/good enough to play with a team.

New system is awesome ! Keep it up.
Ty for work.

These premade tears are making me cringe. You turds honestly think afk pugs vs helmet premades is fun? It's fun for the premades, sure I can make a premade and do the same, I just don't have time sit online for 14 hrs a day, since, you know, I have a life. I'm not here for the rank14 brag rights. I'm here for a fun, even playing field. If you wanna sit online for 14 hrs/day stomping people where zero skill is required since everyone just gives up anyway seeing all them helmets then go ahead.

It's not good for the server to favor these no life freaks who think rank14 makes people think you're good. It fucking doesn't. We all know how you got it. By eating doritos and drinking mountain dew all day pressing 1 button, which is in fact "W", to walk to caps.

It's not PvP when we're talking about premade vs pug, it's pvafk. No one gives a donkey dick about your ranks. We want to have fun in bgs, not restrict them to your farming needs.

Having a ranking system where it's all about who can have the biggest part of their villlage help play on their computer is much better.

The ranking system is a huge part of vanilla and this would change the way it is going to be played out. When people roll on vanilla servers most know exactly what to expect. Please stop casualising vanilla, go resubscribe to blizz instead then.

You don't get it Ohr, you never played retail vanilla and you haven't tried it until now.. You're so ignorant right now and refuse to keep your perspectives widened.

The queues are LONG, much longer, making premading obsolete, it's impossible to face pugs as a premade, and there's not that many premades going.
Solo queueing is INSTANT and premade queue is 20-50min long, how is this fair?

Most people that pug are casual and VERY BAD at PvP, when I premade I would like to know or at least think that the people in the group are carrying the weight that comes with premading, you know your class.
This isn't the case when you pug, and a lot of people give up really fast and afk, and you can't actually rank this way.

yada yada, you getting it?

Thought you strive to make this server blizzlike, yet you make custom stealth changes such as the new queue system. I dont know why you would make such a change without even telling us or giving an explanation about it. Seems like you want more of the chinese farmers afking in bgs rather than organised pvp team who actually have the gear to fight one another. But oh wait, that gear is only aquired by actually playing the game instead of sitting in queues.

anyone that thinks this change is right needs to play a game that isnt vanilla
brutally shit players crying because they have 0 skill/0 friends

Its not fun, and I premade all the time. but I don't make any honor at all with the systems as they are. Sure I always win games but it never matches me up when there is zero premades on Alliance side. The people that actually care about ranking won't be able to rank because they won't make honor. You don't care about ranking your just a random person who ques PvP probably once or twice a day and complain about premades just like every random. We're not doing this to have fun or because we think we're good. We're doing this to rank up and get honor. Pugs will be able to farm more honor then us and they're not even serious about ranking. This is the most retarded bullshit ever. It would be better if you just had a separate NPC for MMR que system so that premades that que with that NPC will fight other premades, but forcing every premade to be in MMR que is terrible.

Hi administrators of Nostalrius.

Where do I begin?

First of all I'd like to express my discontent that you've implemented this new queue system without any announcement or anything. It would be nice to hear your reasoning behind this update!

Secondly there is a reason to why people are playing vanilla. Which is: to play vanilla! The blizzlike vanilla rank system is insane and punishing but extremely rewarding and fun. If we wanted this new sort of battleground system we would play on retail.

This update is punishing the people that are the most dedicated to PvP. What is the incentive to play long premade vs premade games when solo-queuers gets more honor for the duration of the match? And premades can't make up that honor after because they will have to wait 20 minutes and they play a long premade vs premade game again.

The worst part is I feel posting here is pointless. Not once have you admitted to being in the wrong about your decisions, nor have you reverted any decisions you've made even if you probably realized yourselves that is was a bad decision. But please reconsider this update for the reasons stated above. Atleast give us an explanation of your reasoning behind this update.

If anything I hate this change because the queuetime has gotten somewhat god awful for horde. I experience loads of alliance people soloqueueing as teams using TS or whatever since they can just go together a lot more easily with their insta pops, but as a horde player this is really disastrous.

Tried to farm honor today (solo) by being a good lad and typing incomings/locations in chat etc, all that kind of jazz. I prefered actual premade vs premade games. Lot more fun. But the queue times are even more unreal as horde when you queue as premade, it's not feasible anymore.

That being said, a BG pop below 10 minutes time now is a god send. Sucks though when you realize it's a "half-made" and more or less also an insta loss. But except 1 minute, you sit 10 minutes in queue.

And now the poor people at chillwind camp have to suffer for it yet again.

More or less I 100% agree with absix, unless there's really a ton of people that love the new matchmaking system. Would love more opinions.
