Get rid of premades and AFKers in BGs

[Rawwdog 0]

Currently if you play Anathema Horde you will constantly be q'd against Alliance premades.  I won my first BG tonight since Saturday and I PvP every night for at least 5 hours.  Also it doesn't help that people abuse being able to AFK a bg.  We need a report player AFK function like they implemented on retail.  There is a legitimate reason for why it was needed in the first place and people are taking advantage of it.  I've tried report people but I see them in my BGs still.

 

Currently if you want to PvP this server is only good if you're Alliance.

Maybe you should instead pvp for 4 hours and use that extra hour to form a premade group.

premades are cancer .. but people kept saying that because of the playerbase we would rarely face them.. i called bullshit and they laughed at me.

but now well well well what have we here.... 
Premades is a rank 12-14 factory and i doubt it was intended.

Rip anathema lol

(fun fact; over premming killed pvp on servers before!)

no one will ever want to get rid of premming. Though premming isnt the problem. It's the dodging and not have a prem v prem que with enhanced reward systems that encourage prem v prem over prem v pug.

This has been a problem on pretty much every populated vanilla server. Players turning pvp into a minmax honor grind fest. Imo its detrimental to everyones gameplay-pvp experience, including the premmers. But they are fine with mindless ganking and farming like its pve. 

plus, by doing this extreme farming competition they raise the cap themselves thus making the time invested/well used even more important.

i'm not a fan, but its an inherent part of vanilla. Personally I rarely prem as 90% of the time you are stomping guys who gave up before the gates went up. But great honor yayer!

In regards to the AFK'ing in BG'S, it is something that is against our ToS, and we emplore you, and everyone else, to report these individuals so we can take appropriate action. 

I would like to applaud those who take the time of day to upload a quick screenshot to Imgur, and send us legitimate reports via the in-game ticket system, so we can do something to lessen this issue.

All legitimate matters are investigated thoroughly.

You chose horde side knowing it would be painful in regards to BG queue times. If you are tired of facing premades after premades, invest 15 minutes of your time making your own and try to beat them until they disband.

Also there is not that many alliance premades queuing these days. It is mainly the current rankers in bracket 1 and 2, aka 2-3 premades worth mentioning max. The rest are usually not full premades, just few players queuing together for fun. 

Queuing as an alliance premade without any rankers is quickly boring and doesn't last more than 2 hours usually (there isn't much fun in GY camping or 5 capping with little to no resistance after you've roleplayed with Horde 2-3 games). Players get bored because of no real challenge and go do something else, aka they stop queuing even which makes the situation worse for you. In fact most will prefer to queue with 4 other players just to get fair, long and close games.

The problem isn't due to alliance being "fuckoys". It's on current horde rankers to man up a little bit for once and try to dominate BGs. Have you ever seen how some of them are playing as a team of 10 or 15 ? They have FAP on CD 24/7, pop it at 2%hp, tunnel ppl with freedoms on them and over extend like there is no tomorrow. 

[Slicy 11]

Wowe you sound salty. I'm not complaining FAPs existing at all. It's the contrary. Just saying half horde warriors have an "interesting" use of it. Anyways I was trying to be constructive and explain the situation from alliance pov. Guess all you deserve is to keep getting farmed by shitmades and 5 man teams with such an answer. HF :)

how 2 play alliance melee:

throw an autistic fit in TS until you get BoF

backpedal towards your paladin if your health gets low

refuse to engage in 1v1 unless there are at least 3 paladins nearby to save you

bonus: have a huge ego despite being terrible, complain that FAPs exist because only alliance should be allowed to have nice things

Hahaha so mad about alliance lad? :D Trust me it doesn't matter if you play alliance or horde. It's just your silly childish opinion what makes you mad.

^This this this

 

GM ticket with a screenshot / video is the best way to report players.

 

I recently reported a botter by taking a quick video of him, uploading it to YouTube, and then linking it in the GM ticket.

Why don't you just form your own premade?

PvP is better with friends.

[Fylgja 3]

In an ideal word, premades would only face other premades, and semi premades, other semi premades if those are available and pugs if there's nothing else.

Sadly nothing was ever done about this issue on any server I've played.

supporting this.

I'm about to throw the towel too, the alli premades are just insanely boring.

Everyone goes AFK. Just wait for the next game.

The problem? Half alli BG's are premades. Just kills the fun of solo queuing and having some fun.

I really hope they consider a solo queue / premade queue. Would be alot more fun for everyone.

Did the thought ever cross your genius minds that I don't want to run a premade and if I q with friends it's either 3-4 of us.  The games are fun when it's actually pug vs pug, they go back and forth and have good amounts of pvp.
