Yes, everybody should be pulled together, then finding raids, dungeons and battles would be faster, isn't that good idea?

"From now on, ALL REALMS for our European players are matched TOGETHER for BATTLEGROUNDS."
Any english-language players (etc) from any EU realms can be grouped together. Battlegroups still affect Dungeon Finder and Arena, but not battlegrounds :)

Give us back the old system !!! Wait times for horde on arathor are ridiculous... it say 12 min but I have to wait 25 - 30 min for a bg, that is half over most of the time... before teh change wait time was around 10 min all the time.

I saw a lot people wrote about how much harder it is when you are win a Battlegroup with Server XXX.
But maybe you havent read all teh text. We are queued for whole EU. So you can have everybody else in your language region in your team, while the enemy team can be from any other language region.

The Battlegroups are only there for the dungeon finder, while the Language Regions are there for you BG teams, while EU is there as your enemy team.

copypasting my own post here:

==
Just want to add one mportant note.

Batleground matchmaking is STILL based on Battlegroup and only fills in the gaps with players from dierent battlgroups. That's why there is STILL a different picture of how many horde|alliance wins in certain BattleGroups.

So, it's still _matters_, what batlegroup you are in, considering your battleground statistic and experience.
