Hello!
There are multiple posts in the Battleground (BG) forums but I've seen no response.

And more....
BG's are insanely fun for small scale PVP. Cyrodiil is large and can make some feel insignificant as it can turn out to be a massive zergfest. I won't lie, it is fun taking down large forts & having huge battles, running the scroll across Cyrodiil with your teammates, etc. but sometimes you want to feel more important and feel as though
you are making a difference yourself in the game. This is where BGs come in! You have the ability to to pull of some amazing feats and run into some very intense long lasting small scale battles added with multitasking & trying to complete the objective and win as well.
Unfortunately... barely anyone is getting to enjoy this aspect of the game since the BG games are not filling up. If you do not already know, BGs (like Cyrodill) are a 4v4v4 so there are 3 teams of 4 fighting for the same goal.
These days you are lucky, as a PUG, to get into a group of 4. This weekend I believe I was in maybe 2-3 games where it was 1 person and myself other person on a team vs two teams of 4. Or us vs one team of 3, one team of 4, etc.
Every single match i have been in there is one team, if not two, who have less than 4 players. You already wait in a 5-20min queue depending on the time of day to get into a BG and honestly that's fine, the queue times I could care less about as there is so much you can do while you're in queue... but when you wait that long in queue to just be part of a 2 vs 8 it's just really discouraging to even want to come on to play.
Please do something about this. If you are, please let us know. I haven't seen it listed as being addresses so I apologize for my ignorance if I have missed something.
Thank you!
