As the title says.
I think people making premades to go into random Battlegrounds should be stopped.
Where do you draw the line? what should be defined as premade? will I be able to party up with my friend who I regulary do content with? if so how many friends would I be able to group max with before it becomes a premade to your definition of one?
Simple reason is that it ruins PvP casual battlegrounds for the casual players.
I enjoy doing Bg's but im not the most social player in the world and dont have the capabilities to gather a group to do this together with so good thing for me there is the randsom battlegrounds where you can que up solo and get to do some PvP.
I get where you're coming from not being social, neither am I, but this is still an MMO and if you want the full experience you'll have to surpass yourself in that regard first to some degree + it's not a bad thing to work on in general.
Now i understand you cant win every game nor do i expect this to happen, i dont get upset when i lose either.
However what does upset me is when i continually run into premade groups in the random battlegrounds.
This varies from complete premades , which im sorry to say is almost 99% of the time with Russians, who other than having a premade army hardly do the bare minimum to secure their victory only to waste the remaining time grinding out the opposite team for honor kills to the point that you are so demotivated that you never want to play a random battleground in your life again.
Hate to break it to you on the russians but that's simply not true, there's lesser russian servers so there's a higher chance for russians to be on the same server and even then mostly russian BG-ers which are all from the same realm are extremely rare, their baseline communication is simply better which makes them play like a team more, but because they're mostly unfamiliar with eachothers personal playstyles it makes them beatable
Other times it also happens you get premade groups that are not made up of a full premade but lets say for example in Warsong Gulch that 7/10 enemy players are from a premade group.
Again we come to the question of what defines a premade group for you; are they part of the same realm? what's their size? I have friends across all servers, I could technically run a 5-man premade where all 5 players are from different realms, would this be defined as a premade? when does something stop being friends signing up together and when does it start becoming a premade and do you even want to differentiate or draw a line between the two? what if the premade is composed out of people who don't know what the hell they're doing?
Once again it leads to the same problem, your stuck facing a enemy who is used to playing as a single unit and there is just no one of beating them.
Other then a willingness to communicate from both the individual (you) and the teammate (others), you could also consider a premade assuring there's a better chance for your side to win
Because face it when youre team consists of 10 random players fighting again 7 to 10 players who regurlarly play together you are at a extreme disadvantage.
Only if you do nothing to overcome it, if you're being railed by an enemy which is obviously playing as a team and your chat stays as empty as ever then guess what you're complicit to your loss
My suggestion therefore is that when you que to random battleground you can only have a maximum of 3 people in your group.
This way you can still play together with some friends and it doesnt create a unfair advantage to the enemy team.
That's fine and dandy, but I have 4 IRL friends I like playing with, why should I no longer be able to play with my RL friends because some random guy on a forum has a hard time finding teammembers? I know this is a black and white borderline jerkish way to look at it but that is how others could interpret it.
If you want to do a premade its fine, but this is what Rated Battlegrounds have been designed for.
Actually they were made to bring the same level of competitiveness as Arena to battleground so that people who enjoyed pvp but hated battleground had a chance at rated competetive gameplay as well
But it just feels that these people keep crushing random battleground with premades because they dont want competition, they just want to crush a team which is made up of random players, most of which are casuals with low tier gear or pvp skill.
It's very often a gear thing too, at 921 I'd personally say you'd have a hard time because higher gear is easily accessible.
TL;DR
Find some people to play with because it's already impossible to sign up a group larger of 5 people into the same queue and you can only get more then 5 in the same BG by timing queue's which is not efficient at all
