I just read this thread :
It made me think about something : correct me if i'm wrong, but it means that the vast majority of people, even the biggest guilds, will have almost 0 reason to premade in pvp since the R11-14 gear isn't interesting for most classes compared to the pve counterparts : so we'd have some premades from time to time, sure, but nothing as hardcore as what we had with Nope or dreamstate right?
To sum it up, premading being the only (and yet extremely op) advantage that the alliance has (thanks to paladins) against the horde, it sounds like they got something "op" removed, somehow : very serious premaders will prob be extremely rare indeed.
Isn't it kinda unfun? I mean, if pvp is pugs 99% of the time, where the alliance gets rekt (unless it's AV) 80% of the time, well...... bummer.
