This was the most Deathmatch focused group of players I've ever Crazy Kinged with

ArchMikem

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.

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

they REALLY just need a deathmatch only option

I’m spamming BGs if DM only option was reimplemented

Restoring the drop-down menu that enabled battlegrounds by mode would really help each player gravitate to the type of game mode they enjoy the most.

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

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

11 people brought their fun into the wrong game mode.

Said this in a different thread, having the option for 4v4v4s with DM and non DM, 4v4s with DM and non DM, 8v8s, etc. would be nice in theory, but I think the reason they choose to always rotate stuff in and out is because the player base is too small. I've sat in a BG que solo for over an hour before, maybe it's just the higher MMR lobbies, but filling as a solo for a match shouldn't take that long. If they were to extent the amount of queing options it would just take that much longer.

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.

But there was no way to pick the "right" game mode

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.
