Where are the battlegroups?

Battlegroups had like 5-6 servers on them.

Don’t need to say more than that.

Keep in mind that so many servers with over 3 times the population caps, you’re looking at more than 43k players when only assuming 1k characters per realm, all thrown into the same matchmaking mix (except for the case with the Russian realms, which is limited to enemies only.)
The population caps are over 10k right now, so assuming the average is at 5k, that’s 215,000 players. That you can be matched with and against.
It’s pure insanity.
