No prepare groups for battlegrounds?

Codeman1976 · January 2020

What is the idea behind making it only solo? It makes absolutely no sense why it’s being made solo only when it’s a group activity? I admit when only one individual gets thrown in with three other solo players they get steamrolled by a dominant team, but that is the point of group play. No matter how you try to mix up a group there will always be a dominant team in any case. Just like all the previous changes I will try it out, but I’m not see decision to be a very good one. Anyway, we shall see I suppose

Group queue can't be implemented because solo players are restricted (even if they weren't they would not log for this) from this and thus 3 premade could not log at all. That leaves you with pairs and full 4-premades. You think that it is fair that two pairs go against full 4 premade?

So basically, people didn't want to play BGs. They just wanted a small, easy arena to run into willy-nilly and kill everything in sight while ignoring objectives, and they absolutely did not want to be bothered with actually playing games and, gods forbid, using teamwork. Because of this, they were super salty about people who actually DID use teamwork, how dare they. So they whined and whine and puled and cried until ZOS listened, and now nobody has to actually play the BGs as they were meant to be played, and more importantly, nobody who was having fun doing BGs with their friends will ever get to do that again.

It makes sense to separate solo queues from group queues, but eliminating group queues is not the solution. It eliminates the social aspect of it. If I am in a party with my friends I want to actually play with them in the same instance, not talk to each other while we do completely different things.

Also playing bgs with people you can't communicate with can be incredibly painful. BGs is more about tactics and coordination than anything else. If they want a solo game mode then create a solo death match mode or a battle royal mode. Limiting a group play mode to solo queues makes no sense to me.

I am shocked to see they're effectively taking this way to play away from me.

Your behaviour is the same. Nobody is going to take you seriously with this attitude.

How would you solve the problem then?
