You have been silent on this issue Blizzard.

Random BGs have become hell since you implemented the Real ID BG option.

Sure, I could join one of those farming groups, but I dont, because I find this practice utterly disgusting and unfair.

Is this your concept of balancing Random Battlegrounds? Offering the possibility for one group to be 10 times more organized agaisn't a group of people who are, basically, RANDOM?

You quite simply offered the possibility for people to go around the 5 man maximum limit offered to regular players who are not in a Real ID categorization between themselves. You tolerate that?

Sounds like to me you messed up the definition of Random BGs with Rated BGs.

So are more than plenty groups I've joined solo or with a mate or two over the years. Might not win, but by gum we'll get a good laugh out of it.

I'm perfectly sure that there is plenty of fun to be had out of being in one of these premade groups, just as I am sure that taking the engine out of a car that another driver is about to race mine in is quite hilarious.

However, this isn't Wacky Races, and there are other people playing this game.

...for certain people, at least...

If you're comfortable wasting other people's time and forcing them to get the deserter debuff for some cheap "fun", then that just speaks to your character I guess.

Please keep posting Fight, I know you like it, but responding to you with the second thing that comes into my head only gives these topics front page and more attention to getting this situation sorted out.

Best get on top of those 38k or so kills you've got left to farm before you have to play again ^^

IT's not funny. It's like (85) attacking a level 80 in world pvp.
You know you will destroy him/them. You know you got good heals backup. While they're completly on their own. Nah ,not fun at all.

The actual Fun is where both team are in equal powers. No-Premade ,both mixed ,both equall chances.

Because large scale organized PvP is something that should be encouraged.

Also, and most importantly...

Just join a 40-man premade like Kongors, just once. In that group, EVERYONE has multiple (if not all) store pets, mounts & tyraels subscription. Almost ALL of them have bought TCG booster packs, or the cards individually. I reckon a single premade of 40 players have paid/pay more than 10 groups of 40 randoms.

Sure you don't mean "large scale organized GY camping"?

Good, then Blizzard already has their money. :) Now they can *ahem* "make them angry" as much as they want and still rake in on the unarguably larger share of subscribers who don't enjoy being farmed.

Have fun while it lasts. Will be funny to watch the QQ when this gains more publicity and Blizzard is forced to take action.

I will NOT join one of these groups, because it is a cheap, cowardly way to get a victory by exploiting the other's weakness in a structural way, meaning : You're organized, agaisn't people who only ask to be pitted agaisn't other randm people, not FULLY ORGANIZED GROUPS. It's like sending the US Navy Seals agaisn't, I don't know, cavemen?

''Look at me, im owning cavemen with my shotgun, while they have sticks! Oh man im so good!''

It's dishonorable. I do not fight that way. When I want to go with an organized group, it will be in RBGs.

You say it's fun, eh? What about the other team? Yeah, it must be fun for the other team which is getting humiliated with absolutely no chance of counter-attacking. Very funny.

I have been victim of these groups, and I know how it feels for the ''receiving'' end. I will not participate to the ''giving'' end, because unlike some people, I take into account the feelings of OTHERS.

Let me say this:

I was bored all day long untill it was raid time , wow was getting really boring & lame and it felt like there was nothing to do for me ... then I got this idea to farm HK's !
My goal was 250000 ... but since this is SO MUCH FUN ive decided to go for world top 100 (:
nothing beats coordinating 39 other players to flank the alliance from behind @ av !

thanks to these groups wow is amazing again and i dont feel like im quiting anytime soon!

I find most people do this because they are fed up (myself included) of a large majority of battlegrounds compromising of "rush drek lolz" players and people who never use any communication in BG chat for no other use than to flame other players. I cannot stand doing random BGs that long and always try to arrange a group for it, because the standard of players at the moment in battlegrounds is diabolical.

Of course there are exceptions to this and I have had some great full random games, but I find it much more fun to play with people I am familiar with and can have a laugh.

and there is why there is a 5 man limit(!) for it to make it working as intended. playing with your friends. The issue here is entering 40vs40 BG's with 40 people premade which destroys any chance of other side.

Blizz doesnt gives an answer on the matter coz it makes %50 people happy and %50 people unhappy so either way they kept silence so %50 of the people who are happy are can enjoy their farming and %50 of the other people just wait for a change or and attitude towards it from blizz.
