Battlegrounds with friends

Read the release patch notes for Greymoor and I'm very dissapointed that I will not be able to queue with my friends for BGs yet.

I know that premades can be a problem but why not implement 2 queues? One for groups and one for solo.

Certainly a lot of people feel like me because they talk about it in-game a lot, but I wanted to take this topic to the forum because ZOS isn't really addressing this game-breaking issue for many.

    Yeah, I'm disappointed too.

    I know that a lot of people will never agree beetween them; we have the no premade team and the play with friends/guildmate team.
    But this is not the point. We could have 2 queues or better solutions (that can involve better rewards or other things).
    And is their job, not mine - finding a better solution I mean
    They choose an approximative method: just remove all premade in an Online game

    Anyone can like this change, but it was bad done; and we can all agree that it was aproximative.
    But we all know: It just works.

    Just for some people:
    - All games (Online games I mean) are the same, if you have friends and comunication then you have an advantage.
    - Premade are not always a group of 4
    - A lot of no challenge unkillable team are random players versus bad players or bad teams (and we still have this problem ofc)

    The upsetting part of this is that the solution is super trivial, as many mentioned before. A solo queue and a group queue.

    That is it, prmade problem solved. I have yet to find a counter argument why we cant have that option.

    Um ... because it would make the queue longer on both sides (both solo and group)?

    You can still PvP with friends in IC and Cyrodiil.

    Can you please provide an explanation why would it be a longer wait time? Considering that it can potential bring more players to BGs. Considering that people do solo BG, would still do solo BGs?

    IC and Cyrodiil are not the same concept as Battle Grounds, by far are totally different.

    I feel that's a workaround, not a fix for a problem.

    No! It is so much easier to 1vX solo noobs now that there are no premades! ;)
    ^Real reason.

    They really need to just make two groupings, one for premades and one for solos, let the two groupings fight each other. Solves problems all around in their own slots.

    Groups fight groups, solos fight solos everyone benefit.s

    I do like the idea of double AP or something if you queue solo... and for each member of your "premade" group the AP is reduced...

    so solo is 200% AP
    2 people = 100% AP
    3 people = 75% AP
    4 people = 50% AP

    What you will get if you use the, "I want to group with my friends" excuse is>>>

    A Group that is pretty much unbeatable, which I would say is just what you are trying to do ?

    I would also assume you would then, stream, and hope you might get a larger following.

    Maybe its would be just to be highest in the stats, who knows ?

    BG's are bad enough , but that's my opinion.

    GL :) enjoy BG's as they are :)

    I don't and won't stream, I hate the sound of my voice and I'm certainly not going to let people watch me fumble around learning how to do something I've never done. But I never got the chance to play BGs because my friends, who are the REASON I play an MMO and not Skyrim or some other solo game, were going to teach me to play this team game. Not to PvP, to play a team sport with my friends. I couldn't care less if we win or lose (we get points anyway). I just want specific people to be with me doing a fun thing together. Pretty damn sure that any team with me on it would never be unbeatable, but it would be companionable and thus fun. You are making assumptions that are not based anywhere near reality about those of us who want group BGs back.
