BG Blitz Bug: Simultaneous Loading Screens Cost Me 200 Rating Points

Hi everyone,

I recently encountered a frustrating issue while queuing for BG Blitz, and I’m curious if anyone else has had a similar experience or knows how to handle it.

Here’s what happened: I was farming transmog in the Emerald Nightmare raid when the BG Blitz queue popped. I clicked “Enter,” and while waiting for the match to start, I was falling into the entrance of the final boss room. The BG loading screen appeared, and I entered the lobby with the other players, but almost immediately, another loading screen started (for the raid) after which, I was teleported back to the raid. I was removed from the BG, received a “No-Show” debuff, and lost over 200 rating points as a result.

This bug dropped me from around rank 55 to 100 on the PvP ladder. As someone working hard on the weekends to push for this positon, this was a tough blow, especially since it wasn’t due to my actions or connection.

Has anyone else encountered a similar bug with simultaneous loading screens or experienced a penalty like this? I’d also appreciate advice on how to handle this and hopefully be able to revert the penalty.

Thanks in advance for your insights!
