Decided to hop on to write something to keep this discussion alive.
Horde side views. Situation getting worse..starting to feel like a lottery winner if you get matched up with pugs while solo queuing. It is rare.. Only outside very early morning. 4-8 AM server time can you actually play pugs vs. pugs but que times are pretty long..about half an hour I'd say. I'm an early bird so right now it feels that if I want to enjoy PvP I have to play right after I wake up or get stomped in 90% of games later.
People are at least checking Kronos III because of this. You gotta do something or you are in danger of losing more players than you already have.
That one ally premade that almost never sleeps or eats..or lives..? has started to sell honor boosting if the rumors are true and it seems plausible as they have 1-2 lower ranks with them nowadays. If it indeed is true is this going to be allowed?
Playing solo against them is the epitome of unfun and I'm playing to have fun. Add to that if premades can skip playing against each other some way its starting smell like a rotten shitstew. It's already shitstew but it's still fresh...
