It’s still a premade even if they aren’t technically queuing as a raid group, as long as they know each other and queue up intentionally to end up in the same bg by matching that queue timing. The difference between a pug and a premade is merely a social one.
The most ridiculous part of your arguments is that they’re all based on the premise that it’s intended usage by design, just because it’s possible.
That the arbitrary limitation to disable queuing as a group/raid is not intended by design to prevent queuing as a group/raid.
That it’s an intentional benefit to the smaller matchmaking pools (since it can’t be done in gigantic pools due to the amount of new BG instances per second which rapidly speeds up the random assortment of players, or in the case of Horde in the merged EU matchmaking pool where they do split them up if they queue at the same time as only a few people, although it would however increase the rate of success as a full 40-man timing the queue).
That the lack of punishing people for it should mean that it’s not something they recognize to be a violation of the rules even though it falls under the technical definition of game exploitation in their rules.
That they passively permit it when they haven’t even officially recognized it to be a thing in the first place.
That’s what you’re claiming with your arguments.
Nice one.
Oh you two fine, bright, barely thinking individuals, seem to fail to understand the point that it’s not a function made expressly available to everyone. It’s in fact a function expressly made unavailable to everyone. It’s only by exploiting the matchmaking system, and only possible for the smaller matchmaking pools , to queue up at the same time that the intended purpose of a random matchmaking system gets entirely bypassed.
That falls under the technical definition of exploitation .
Deny it 'til your dying breath, it doesn’t change the facts.
