Poor state of battlegrounds
I know this topic has been here since like1950. But nothing really happens and although it's useless I feel the urge to comment on it.
80% of bgs on my horde character are basically "get reskilled on your graveyard". Before any of the smartass says the typical "git gud" - when this happens, 8/10 people basically go AFK and I'm there playing literally alone. For obvious reasons horde is outgeared by ali and the bgs are not fun this way.
I also have lots of aliance characters (I main aliance) - and I have quite same but quite differrent problem. We stomp 80% of the bgs, there's no competition whatsoever. And I am not typical degenerated warmane playa who finds reskilling afk enemy players on graveyard entertaining, people who love bgs want them to be balanced, they want some real fights and competition, not reskilling afkers on graveyard. People who love those imbalanced things can go reskill low lvls to STV, it's basically the same.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My suggestion is to either apply mercenary mode asap (which is not gonna work that much imo, it's just gonna help with long ali ques), or, and thats better --> --> --> straight up mix ali/horde in bgs like it used to be on old arena tournament. That's the only way to make bgs somewhat enjoyable and balanced.
Mixing factions in bgs would fix both problems, balance and long queue times. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And yes, ali or horde diehards will cry about this, because they rather reskill opposite faction in bg for 15 minutes or they like to get reskilled for 15 minutes by opposite faction and they don't like competition and balance. But bgs should not be in this poor state because of these diehards opinnions.
It's like one of 30 bgs are even and played like they should be. Thats ridiculous. It's just this degenerated mindset of people playing on this server that if it seems like they're going to lose a bg in first minute, they just completely give up. wtf seriously.
One more common argument some people keep stating is "bgs only purpose is to get gear, go to arena and git gud" - no that's not the case, thats why there were rbgs invented in later expansions. And if you don't care about bgs at all, why would you be against horde/ali mix anyways, if you don't care about bgs at all.
