Agree with Krushpak on this. 48 hours is not enough time to discuss a new system's pros and cons, as most people would base their opinion on theory rather than experiencing said system first hand. On theory, i would also have supported the change, that's before i actually tried to queue, ending up spending more time running around shattrath than actually playing the game.
Please do not underestimate how big of a change this is for a consistent portion of the server. I know you loathe bgs Obnoxious, as you stated before, but some of us don't. These queues are killing my will to play bgs at all, and most in my circle of friends feel the same.
In conclusion, If you really wanted to listen to the population's opinion, then it was closed too early. Give people some time to come up with suggestions worth discussing, locking the thread felt like debate was not welcome, which is quite disappointing to say the least.
