What is the reason for

[Starsplinter-thekal]

so they removed the ability to queue for bg from anywhere.

i’ve already seen the endless crusade against RDF, but as far as I can tell these same arguments just don’t hold water when it comes to remote BG queueing.

the (theoretical) argument that is impacts any type of social experience is a null one. having no remote BG queue forces people to go into the city and sit AFK whilst the queue pops. you can’t even teleport straight back into the open world like you can with RDF because you get tethered back to wherever you queued once you exit. this is damaging the ‘alive-world’ feeling aswell because we’re all gonna be stuck in the city instead of doing dailies, grinding proffs etc.

so I have two questions.

1. what is blizzards reasoning for this?

2. and this is an honest question: literally who asked for remote BG queueing to be removed?

Queue for Battlegrounds from Anywhere

With tonight’s maintenance, we’ll apply a hotfix that will add the ability to queue for Battlegrounds from anywhere in the world. This will allow players to continue exploring the world while also participating in Battlegrounds. You’ll find it in the Battlegrounds tab on the PvP menu. Battlemasters are not going anywhere, so you can still talk to them if you prefer to.
