Then almost everyone will be playing Deathmatch and nothing else

I personally don't like Deathmatch so let's delete that one as well.

If you don't like fighting with players, why do you do PvP then...?

People playing the way they want to? What a concept!

I have never heard someone say that he prefers the domination, relic or chaos ball games over deathmatches. Most people don't care for objective and go for kills in those games. So most of those matches end up 500:0:0. Zos should be aware of players wish to choose the game mode

I've heard plenty say they prefer the objective game modes, including many players who excel at deathmatch. True that CTR is the least popular, but with some tweaks to mechanics and medal scoring it could be great fun again and it remains one of the most tactic-intensive gamemodes to win. If we had the POP, choice of game mode would be ideal. But till then, slot some immovs and play the objective you were given. You might even have fun.

Capture the relic is heavyily unbalanced leading to stamina rollie pollies picking up the relic and sprinting faster than i can gap close or attack. BS as a magic user.

Chaosball leans heavy toward tanks (even more noticable now with CP). Pretty much impossible to do as DPS. Unless...unless ur a stamina dps sprinting around the map faster than magic can keep up.

Deathmatch always ends up being 12 man blobs of AoE damage. May the most AoE damage win.

Flag games are the only two i enjoy, teams tend to split up more, less chance of comming across a full group. More chance of fibding a lone flipper. The basic four flag one is fun, the new crazy king is the most fun BG i have played.

As much as i enjoy CP battlegrounds, having my sustain back is amazing, being able to just keep fighting instead of standing there for five waiting for regen just to have 20 seconds of combat. But i am noticing the dynamics of BGs change. The game modes, what worked before as a tactic doesnt quite cut it in CP...just an observation.

I dont leave BGs cause i like requeing. But more and more i think about it. Certain gamemodes just lead to BIS builds. And my DPS magplar is not BIS for any of them, regardless of what my 1vX or 1v1 capabilities are. A bit upsetting...

No need to delete certain play modes. Just add an option to choose your preferred play modes when you queue. Yes some modes will likely have longer queues, but at least people get to play what they want. They could also add a private match option so you and 11 friends can all queue together and avoid pugging completely.

Why ZOS has this desire to force unwanted modes and force pug grouping is something I can't quite understand. In theory it would force more people into the queues, but it can have the opposite effect and keep people out of them or have those players quit when an undesired mode comes up. Notice I use the word "force" a lot. That's not a sign of a well developed system when players need to be forced to do things by mechanics.

Amen to that!
