BGs are not fun

I'm used to having a fun competitive atmosphere in battlegrounds and what we have here on this server is anything but fun or competitive. I think the staff had good intentions in mind with the premade matchmaking but the end results are simply not good.

I can Q for wsg and wait 30 mins with 50% chance of getting a 5 min game against ally premade or I can Q for AB where I get a 90% chance of getting 5 capped by ally premade. I would be open to joining a horde premade but there simply isn't any to join. My options are dodge and play one game every hour or so or eat the premades for zero honor + one mark.

It's obvious that things need to go back to how they were originally or just make it to where premades only fight other premades period and let the pugs fight the pugs. The latter would offer the most fun and competition and any naysayers are a small minority of "elite pro rankers" that would prefer to stomp pugs for easymode ranking.

Before Ohhgee and Healthycow come running while frothing at the mouth to say "HEY THIS IS WHAT YOU ASKED FOR!!!!" I'd like to say I never asked for this. I'm simply asking for fun and competitive battlegrounds which the current system does not offer.

Basically what you are saying is that there are people who are better than you, then they organize a group and queue together to become even better.

For you this is not competitive?, then again posting from a fake account wont give you any positive response.

Mostly people worse than puggers who organize on ts3 therefore purely have a huge strategic advantage (rather than any form of player skill) compared to pug bg chat.

I would indeed prefer having blizzard queue-system limited to 1 BG to avoid wintrading.
However you must realize that the Horde / Alliance win-ratio differ from week to week depending on whom and how many that are currently ranking.

Currently there are more alliance premades than horde, this always change back and forth.

As alliance I can either solo Q, and watch half of my team 2 cap afk or I can wait 5~10 minutes in queue as a premade. So yeah, playing as horde might not be that fun, but i knew that would happen because of OP horde racials, so i created an alliance toon.

"Basically what you are saying is that there are people who are better than you ...".

That's an ugy thing to say. Are you assuming that because horde has 0 premades currently running for the past couple weeks that the entire ally pvp community is better than the horde? Do you really believe that? Or could it be because of the difference in pvp population and making a premade as horde would not be able to compete with the horde pugs due to the system?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume that Wildforce is one of those "ally elite pro rankers" protecting what he is comfortable with (farming pugs). You have your viewpoint from the alliance faction and I have mine as horde. So I imagine you would be biased if you are in one of the ally premades. This is my only forum account. I made it because I was frustrated with the current BG system hence the name. I offered two scenarios that I feel would be better for the pvp community on this server.

Why whine on alliance having premades?
You only fight about standing with other hordies and since the otehr horde also meet those premades it doesn't matter.

For alliance tho it does matter. To have any chance on getting standing 1 you need to be in one of these premades doing 1,2 mill honor a week..
