BG queue system issue, asking for administrator response

[Healthycoww]

I just don't like when a server decides to give the early players a golden ticket. They did it with AV too. Those that were finished before the changes are much much better off then those that now want to try to get the same thing.

Gotta love people who cry for 100% blizzlike, then cry to change a blizzlike feature.

Make up your minds people, or go join a fun server where you can have your "matchmaking".


What's next. Should bosses and mobs in 5-man dungeons have less health and damage for full pugs aswell? Maybe nerf HP/damage for pug raids too while your at it!

Premade vs premade queues were added when they made the battlegrounds cross server iirc. Doesn't really work too well when you have to wait an hour between games.

Slowly losing interest in playing here. Sure in my position after being done ranking and grabbing a couple of pals and queuing up to only vs premades is awesome. But uh this isn't Blizz like and ruins it for everyone else. What are you doing Nostalrius...

Incorrect. They altered the queues in terms of better chances for premade vs premade in BGs, in patch 2.4.0

only thing I noticed that is not correct on this server.
Battlegrounds Edit
◾ Battles must now last at least ten minutes after the start of the battle in order for the losing team to receive a Mark of Honor.

I still see kids getting 1 mark after <5min 5cap games and such. maybe fixing this intended hotfix would prevent people from afking battlegrounds vs premades and give atleast a 10min battle?

I'm sill trying to find this matchmaking system of premade vs premade being vanilla like and no luck yet. =/

Ah you're right. Either way it certainly isn't a vanilla change.

well, no admin is online so I guess wait until tomorrow during EU time for an answer.

would be nice to see the 1.8.4 hotfix addressed since that would fix most of the AFKing issues since losers (pugs or premades) would have to do something for 10mins atleast to get a mark for credit. otherwise get rekt.

After researching some more, I found this:

http://blue.mmo-champion.com/topic/6616 ... tchmaking/
http://web.archive.org/web/200611082047 ... 6334&sid=1

However I have checked pretty much every patchnote and bluepost hotfixes and this seems to only have been in talking and was never implemented in vanilla.
Actually, this post right here proves that they first began experimenting with matchmaking on their PTR servers in 2007 (which means early TBC): http://blue.mmo-champion.com/topic/6478 ... est-realm/

I don't see any notes of this matchmaking going live right after it was on PTR, before the bluepost I linked earlier for after patch 2.4 launch.
The actual bluepost can also be found here: http://blue.mmo-champion.com/topic/3993 ... des-in-24/


TL;DR version: Battleground Matchmaking was talked about in end of 2006, went on PTR in 2007 and went live with patch 2.4.0 as a non-patchnote change
