Can you ban premades until War Within?

I despise all sync premades and I’m faction agnostic. I think allie syncers may be ruining regular bgs. I only play epics and blitz.

Anyway (again) I report all notorious syncers for Gameplay Sabotage, Blocking Team Progress and I use the message

This player is in a sync premade, and according to CoC “……engaging in any activity that grants an unfair advantage is considered cheating.”

But only when they sync. Some of the names on my long sync cowards list don’t seem to be syncing anymore.

I think at the moment it is pointless to report but if Blizzard don’t act against sync premades when the new expansion starts, I’ll start a report-the-cheaters-campaign to get Blizzards attention.

Don’t believe it. The horde were the only ones who made synchronized bgs in 10-15 bgs, especially the Russians (like endofstory) and some Europeans who play with them. Lately the number of these sync premades has increased and this is when several alliance groups have agreed to hunt down them (and from the screenshots, I see that they have been successful).

I have no clue, haven’t done regular bgs for months. In epics it’s the same old sync coward gang who used to only play horde, and now some of them play alliance. And when they have one coward group on the horde side, and one on the ally side, they somehow never play against each other. They are only interested in stomping randoms.

Just because Russian players cannot buy the Russian client of the TWW game, does not mean that Larkus cannot buy the EU version of the client and start synchronizing.

All your questions are answered on the US forum. Premades are not a violation of the rules and that is why in 20 years of playing no one has been banned for it.
Remove the “.” after the first letter “h”

Care to share the link to the US forum thread? Thanks

Do you mind looking at the post they made once before about they not being fond of ppl like you?
Considering you use a third party software to make these sync happen (discord) its still on the line of not being allowed.
Battle Commander addon have options which helps syncing aswell. Quite interesting.

“The normal Battleground queue is for players to jump in and play against other players in a similar situation. We realize that it’s not a perfect system, and we’re still looking at ways to improve normal Battleground queues further. Regardless, it’s not meant for organized groups to “pug stomp” and get quick Honor.”

That was part of what they wrote in 2012.
Thats literally what sync premades do.
Then another CM makes another post contradicts what is also their own stance for why they removed an addon that made sync automatic.

So even if you believe your image is “proof” its not. It just further proves the silence they are currently performing are extremely bad for everyone.
If they made their stand clear that sync premades are allowed, they should just allow to que up as a raid so every casual who are fed up can finally hit the nail in the coffin and never que again.

yesterday we played 22 epic bg with 5 people. 3dd and 2 heals. and how many epic bg do you think we won? all 22. Are premades still stopping you from playing?

In order to queue up with friends, all you need is a game chat. Discord is not required for this. Most people aren’t even in it. BattleGroundCommander is an officially approved addon.

Yesterday, when Magedog lost again, he said on stream that you have 40 trained players. :joy:
My friend they will never stop, there will always be something wrong

Oh, I guess this link should be posted on all these anti-sync threads :grimacing:

That means using the ingame voice to sync que is allowed? :smiley:

The auto que function has been in use for ~17 years now (with Arena release in TBC 2007). If you want to ban them, you have to ban tons of pvp addons and WeakAura, good luck on that.

Maybe you was wrong? How do you know who is sync queing and who is not?

Yes, yes, there was no premade at IOC and you can watch it on repeat. Or you can just delete your post and not embarrass yourself

jesus man im trying to not get baited by you and the rest of these ppl, u making it hard, adding u to the list of ignored content on the forum, soon the list will be completed, sayonara.

Sure, you can post it in every anti-sync thread. However, the thread you linked is dated november 2019, while CoC have been updated 5 months ago. The voice “Cheating” is clear and differently from what you wrote is not about personal interpretation. The main purpose of queue syncers is to have an advantage otherwise they wouldn’t bother to form many 5 man groups and sync queue to join the same bg. And please spare me the “friendship” excuse, it’s not credible.

Blizzard can’t list all the activities that players create to have an advantage, that’s why they generalized by writing “engaging in any activity that grants an unfair advantage is considered cheating”. Sync premades are part of said type of activities. You can deny it, you can find excuses etc. point still stands.

I’m not even advocating for a ban, I would like Blizzard to simply put an end to sync premades. Larkus is perfectly able to win epics with a 5 man group, so I assume that also the other epic bg leaders can do the same.

For those interested in reading the CoC:

May I ask why you’re trying to post Blizzards In-game Code of Conduct when you’ve ZERO idea what you’re talking about??

" The voice “Cheating” is clear and differently from what you wrote is not about personal interpretation."

there’s no change to this so what are you talking about? You legit took the word “Voice” from Communication and added Cheating?

you can use archive and check the changes to the Code of conduct and you will see even in March 2017. It was the Same wording in the Cheating Section.

So if Blizzard official Game master tells you that Queue Syncing IS FINE and Nothing was changed in the cheating section in Code of Conduct then its clear that no action will ever happen to people forming groups and syncing.

End of the day you can continue to whine on the forums but the game master has explained that Premade and groups that queue sync are fine and no action will ever take place.

All Blizzard has to do is be transparent about this, but if blizzard doesn’t update this, people in this community will keep on posting this topics in a weekly basis. if sync/raid premading isn’t consider cheating, then allow players to host a raid, round up 10, 15, 35 or 40 players and join in as a raid group and be done with it.

I’m perfectly aware of what I’m talking about, but it seems to me that you aren’t. The Code of Conduct is an official document released by Blizzard. If for your it doesn’t have value, that’s your own problem.

Wanna rely on the words written by a gm in 2019 to prove your point? Ok, so have a look at the answer I got when I opened a ticket about this matter in 2022:

As you can see, the answer is quite different. That’s why it’s necessary an official statement by Blizzard, to put an end to all these endless (and inconclusive) discussions.

Do you even read your own tickets because it seems you don’t even understand lol

GM says : Regarding wanting to report a premade group that exceeds the number allowed on a battleground

His reply was saying if a group is EXCEEDING the max allowed players ON A battleground then report because the max is 35 man (Ashran) and 40man for all other epic battlegrounds.

the Game master has never once said in that ticket “if a Player is EXCEEDING the max allowed players in a group to queue into a battleground”

He is simply talking about battleground player LIMIT (so 35 - 40 players)

and to answer your ticket.

Addon Doesn’t do anything special, Weak Aura Can also Accept any role signup.
Addon Doesn’t spam anything that a Macro cannot do.
those premade leaders leading the battleground are 100% all macros.
There isn’t a single Addon that breaks any protected function in blizzard Addon LUA.
so everything that the battleground commander does, you can legit do everything with Weak Aura + Macros

(You can even make a macro to auto target the leader then /w %t Please pass leader, Thank you) and spam it 2-3 times with a keybind.

Maybe it’s you the one that should read and understand what it is written in my tickets/thread since I’ve been more than clear.
