In MoP there was oQueue until it was disabled in the API, and that addon (as long as the entire premade had it) made it possible for the raid leader to queue the entire raid at the same time, to bypass the 5-man premade limitation.
But then Blizzard disabled the possibility to join the BG queue via the API, which disabled the addon’s functionality itself.
Shortly after that, the smaller regions (most notably the German turtling premades and the Russian HK-farming premades, which you can see the results of in the world rankings of HKs obtained on 3rd party websites), started doing what oQueue did, except they did it manually. Blizzard never did anything about this bypassing, nor did they ever punish the players for bypassing it.
Now, the EU-English region queues for unrated BGs less than the EU-Russian region, in retail.
Even though the EU-English region is the largest one in retail.
With all of that history behind us, here you go.
This new addon is back to do the very same thing, with as much automation as possible to aim for the highest success rate. Keep in mind, there’s no guarantee an entire 40-man premade ends up in the same, but the more you are that queues, the larger the success rate.
Don’t expect a small 5-man premade to end up in the same even when using this addon that is linked to at the start.
inb4 “racism”, “xenophobia” blabla, I’m not saying everyone did it. There’s a clear difference in coordination between a premade and a randomly matchmade team, even when it comes to the smaller regions.
We all know about the way the regional matchmaking worked back then and how it split up the languages, although it put the Spanish/Portuguese matchmaking pool into the EU-English one for some reason, and the rest was split up so they could only be opponents.
This is what the players who could never tell a premade apart from people who just came from the same place started to think they’re all premades, and the ones who tries to refute it by saying “they’re not a premade, they’re just from the same language’d regional matchmaking” (except more poorly phrased) who never actually realised some were legit premades.
This made it harder to bring these actual premades to light who did it intentionally.
PS:
It’s easier to accomplish with fewer people in the matchmaking pool.
