The change only hurt the people group queing in battlegrounds. Solo que works out much, much better for those that are wanting some BG's without the hassle of rounding up some friends.

you think so eh? take a look at my signature spoiler screen shots, every one of those matches are "solo-Q", do you think the other teams feel like it's working out in their favor? do you think they wish they could have brought a friend or two to deal with me? hmm?

I never joined with four people. I rarely joined with three ( I think 3 games total ). I typically solo or duo'd. Solo queue works much worse for me, since I play PvP in MMORPGs to play with my friends. My endgame is pvp with friend(s); bgs were that. Now Cyro is, and so I spend much less time in BGs. I don't even bother solo queueing anymore, given the rewards are pretty meh anyway.
You never needed four friends to be competitive. Yes, there were premades, but at least on PC NA, there were not so many running that without 3 others it sucked. I do believe that having the option to avoid playing against a 4 stack makes sense. I do not think taking away any chance to play with a friend makes sense.
Plenty of my friends quit over this change. I think they would return if it was reverted (even partially to duos).

doubt it. some groups may have formed to farm noobs (and I heard about mmr resets etc), but a lot of groups were after competitive matches, and had to wait long queue times b efore to get games anyway.
doubt it.
Why do you think ZOS made the change in the first place??
Because of the overwhelming complaints about pre-mades versus solos.
Complaints by a non representative forum population.
I am co gm of the largest bg guild na. Maybe 10% of our guild was solo only, and didnt interact with group vs group nights.
So you enjoy 500v0v15 scores better?
or if facing completely premades while premade 75v125v100 after 15 minutes?

At this time, there are no immediate plans to reintroduce group queuing for PvP Battlegrounds in ESO. We are focusing on game performance improvements, and monitoring PvP Battlegrounds activity and feedback. If we do consider reintroducing group queueing for PvP Battlegrounds in the future, we’ll let everyone know.

Thanks for the update.
Very disappointed. BGs and group play in general in ESO will continue to stagnate as a result. Performance improvements to date have made the game substantially worse. Those of us that tried to shift to Cyrodil because of this decision have been met with an awful gameplay experience. My friends have largely quit, none of whom ran 4 stack groups or whatever in BGs. Most of us just want to have a playable gameplay experience in PvP. Cyrodil doesn't offer that. Attempts to make it better have, at best, been unsuccessful. Hopefully that trend reverses.
