It’s simple. Start putting your Vicious Bloodstones up for 60g, one at a time, each person, and undercut the market so hard all day everyday that they stop queuing.
People sit 24 7 on their ah-mount with tsm and scan the auction house for exactly this.
Pray these stones won’t be a thing in Midnight, but do not suffer from the delusion that it solves the entire premade problem by any means,they have been a thing before tww.
A part of it can be solved by simply capping honorlevels(or removing them) just like they capped the infinite artefactpowergrind in og legion.

Playing in Premades since Cataclysm and there was no honorlevel or bloodstones.
Prior to this, people only played premades to farm Honor levels. Now they can actually make money off of it, so more people do it.

Solving it would be deleting the group queue button.

Deleting group queue button, and only enabling it for rated BG. So you can queue into RBG with your 3-4 friends and get filled up by other groups or make a full group.
In before “But I only have two friends”, because that doesn’t enable you to group into M+ or Raids either.
Tbh just cook in hidden MMR for random BGs and never show it to players. Let people play together, it’s an MMO.

Play together in NON COMPETETIVE PVE environment. Leave pvp out of it, premade is BROKEN AF. It RUINS pvp experience for the majority. With ppl like u, with this toxic mindset there wont be any pvp left in the future

The number of people who regularly premade, as in every single day, number in the double digits, if that. I’d not be surprised if its as low as 15-20 people across normal and epic BGs.
Its a shame because they’re essentially griefing the game for thousands and Blizzard doesn’t know what to do about it without implementing changes that hurt millions. Its the exact same dynamic as dungeon bots back in the day. The reason why you can’t run Headless Horseman on 10 alts then hop on Remix and do a dungeon in the same hour is because 20 years ago a handful of people botted dungeons endlessly.
The solution might be something similar - just make it so you can only do 1-2 BG wins per day in a 5 stack. That said, these people are genuinely mentally ill. They spam BGs 12-18 hours per day, 7 days a week, for 10 years if not longer. They might buy a few dozen accounts to keep 5 stacking.
They should hire a therapist and have them contact everyone in the top 50 of honour levels to figure out how their brain works then implement solutions based on their findings.

Ever considered honor level 500 mount boosting? Overgear currently offers 1-500 honor level boost for 6000 euros, 12 bucks per level. (Which is kinda comical considering they have a 480 day delivery time, meaning you make 12.5 euros a day - or rather like 40 % of that, because they’ll take money for providing the customer.)
As I said, hidden MMR. No CR, just hidden MMR.
Its bad for other players aswell, as PvP compared to PvE gives little as it is. Vicious Bloodstones gives us atleast something.
