Neither group of players is worse. ZOS is responsible for the way BGs are designed.

I’m spamming BGs if DM only option was reimplemented

DM being the most popular mode is why they won't make it its own queue option.

There was a point I had captured all available flags uncontested, and just stood there watching everyone else duking it out across the map. So who's worse here? Everyone ignoring the Objective in a Crazy King match, or me not letting everyone's impromptu Deathmatch run out the clock.

Thanks for ending my Endeavor grind with a highlight match though.

The answer is you are. You ruined 11 people's fun.

11 people brought their fun into the wrong game mode.

if you repeatedly cue for a BG with the intention of ignoring your team and and playing death-match no matter what actually cues, it should be a reportable offense that has escalating consequences. it just throwing a team game to play your own version of it. cuing for a team activity is a tacit agreement that you will participate in that activity in good faith.

BG’s aren’t death-match only and there won’t be a cue for it which i have seen. if you want to play a DM style game every time, there are actual games designed for just that. ESO isn’t it and doesn’t seem like it will be for the near future.

more casual players who enjoy BG’s but get abusive team members who intentionally throw team obj should start reporting those folks en masse.

most of the people who read PvP in the forums will hate this. they fail to realize that their toxic behavior drives away most casual or new BG players and makes the long term health of BG’s that much worse as population size continually shrinks.

Play the way you want and I will play the way i want.

It's not my fault they removed a perfectly functioning part of the game. Namely dm queue. You're stuck with us as long as we are stuck with you. To be fair, we do not like this situation any more than you do.

I'll never understand the mindset of an objective based PVP player. The entire point of PVP is player versus player, not who can avoid the other team the most and stand on a flag. Go run a dungeon.

Fighting over a flag can be more fun than fighting over nothing. There's always action on the objectives on the new 8v8, and the players who wanna "deathmatch only" are pointed at the right target and helping the team by default.
