Yeah, but you gotta remember the people who fought premade vs premade came from games like UO, EQ, DaoC, AO, Lineage 1/2, SWG, Shadowbane ect, their endgame was the competition. These days the players hop from one shitty 1 month lifespan (f2p)MMO to the next, landing here with the endgame of selling their acc. It's the players not the game. Which is also why I laugh at people who think they want sandbox games with 2015's community, unless it has a very high entry barrier like EVE.

The player pool numbers have already sunk embarrassingly low for a server that pulls 8k online, and before these changes were made to queues player pool numbers were actually still growing.

I normally avoid forums but I will bump every one of these stupid threads every single day until you either fix Battlegrounds or ban me from the forums.


It's never been good for pugs, we never got pug vs pug games. Before AV it was just all premades. Then they changed it and it was good for what? a week? and now it's these empty games.

I hope they can make it so that pugs get to play pugs most of the time with an occasional premade. That would be a blizzlike experience. I'm sure they are working on it.

Absolutely blows my mind that people still cannot comprehend the difference between premading and winning every game because your team is superior and wintrading and winning every game because you literally do not have an opponent. One is clearly abuse and one is part of the game. Of course people have premaded since release, but wintrading was not possible until 4-5 weeks ago.

Myself and tons of other players did ranks the same way they have been done for 11 years before the queue system was changed and wintrading was made possible. So if simply playing the game with friends/guildies is abuse then I guess ban me?

As someone that ranked to r10 solo queueing I have to say that "it was all just premades" is absolute bullshit. Depending on the time of day, you could get at least 1 PuG vs PuG game out of every 2-5 solo queues with the old system.

I'm sorry but the fact is that most of the players that claim that in the old system "every game" was a premade stomping them are the same players that give up and stop PvPing for the day after 3 or 4 losses to premade, and their opinions mean absolutely nothing because they don't play nearly enough hours of PvP on a daily basis to have a clear picture of how queues are functioning.

Now with new system every game, like actually EVERY SINGLE game is 10v3 garbage whether its a PuG or a premade.

And of COURSE premaders have/will always have it "better" than PuGs, it's a fcking MMO designed to be played with a group. Should I be punished as well because my guild can do 2 Onyxia raids with 20 players in each and get 2x 1 shot? Sometimes PuGs spend hours wiping to deep breath, so obviously I'm an abuser for not killing Ony that way, right?

the logic is fucking laughable.

Bump.

Garbage situation for almost everyone, be it puggers or a vast majority of the premaders (the rest being happy with staying afk in ghosted games until they get the rank they want/need).

Easy to revert back before the mysterious "fixes". Plenty of solutions to fix the dodge problem without breaking the server's blizzlike goal and it would actually provide a more blizzlike pvp experience to everyone.

Pugs vs pugs, pugs vs prems and prems vs prems happened way more frequently before whatever has been done. The amount of each types of these match ups before and after don't matter. The problem is related to X vs Y not even happening anymore.

I personaly think that the current situation with wintradeing is not an issue with the current que system. Its more a playerbase thing and the people ranking atm. Just my 2cents.

while i agree with the principle of what you're saying, the fact is wintrading wasn't possible until Nostalrius changed the queues to guarantee premades always meeting eachother :S

As you saw on the other post I commented on before ... People whined about getting stomped by premades.. and Nostalrius(?) did this change to benefit the pugs... The only thing that happend out of it that people realised that they now could wintrade(dodge) even harder then before. Its sad actually.. and its one of the reasons you dont really se me inside any bgs lately.. + I need to farm for PVE content hehe :D. I skipped so much when I ranked :roll:

Premades killed all bg's. There is no fun any more. It's like all other private servers.
